WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Infiniti FX45 and 2005 Infiniti FX35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK STEERING LOCK UNIT POWER SUPPLY 
    1. Turn ignition knob LOCK position.
    2. Disconnect steering lock unit connector.
    3. Check voltage between steering lock unit connector M26 terminal 1 (L/R) and ground.
      1. 1 (L/R) - Ground : Battery voltage 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK : GO TO 2.
    2. NG : Repair or replace steering lock unit power supply circuit.
