ACTION
1. Refer to step 6 in the SERVICE PROCEDURE to confirm this bulletin applies to the vehicle you are
working on.
2. If this bulletin applies, reprogram the ECM.
IMPORTANT: The purpose of ACTION (above) is to give you a quick idea of the work you will be performing. You MUST
closely follow the entire SERVICE PROCEDURE as it contains information that is essential to successfully completing
this repair.
Infiniti Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are properly trained
individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that
a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO NOT assume that it does. See your Infiniti retailer to determine if this
applies to your vehicle.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE:

Most instructions for reprogramming with CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus) are displayed on the CONSULT
PC screen.

If you are not familiar with the reprogramming procedure, click here. This will link you to the
"CONSULT- III plus (C-III plus) Reprogramming" general procedure.

Take the vehicle for a 10 minute drive in order to meet the following Idle Air Volume Learn (IAVL)
conditions:
 Engine coolant temperature: 70 - 105°C
(158 - 221°F)
 Battery voltage: More than 12.9V (at idle)
 Transmission: Warmed up
Figure A
NOTE: After reprogramming is complete, you will be required to perform Throttle Valve Closed Position,
Idle Air Volume Learn, Accelerator Closed Position, and DTC erase. The above conditions are required for
IAVL to complete.
CAUTION:

Connect the GR8 to the 12V battery and set to ECM power supply mode.
If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or above 15.5V during reprogramming, the ECM
may be damaged.

Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads.
If a vehicle electrical load remains ON, the ECM may be damaged.

Be sure to connect the AC Adapter.
If the CONSULT PC battery voltage drops during reprogramming, the process will be interrupted
and the ECM may be damaged.

Turn off all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.) within range of the
CONSULT PC and the VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are within range of the CONSULT PC
during reprogramming, reprogramming may be interrupted and the ECM may be damaged.

Table A below.

If there is a match, this bulletin applies. Continue with the reprogramming procedure.

If there is not a match, this bulletin does not apply. Close C-III plus and refer to ASIST for
further diagnostic information.

7. Follow the on-screen instructions to navigate C-III plus and reprogram the ECM.
NOTE:


In some cases, more than one new P/N for reprogramming is available.

If more than one new P/N is available, the screen in Figure 3 displays.

Select and use the reprogramming option that does not have the message “Caution! Use
ONLY with ITBXX-XXX”.
If you get this screen and it is blank (no reprogramming listed), it means there is no reprogramming
available for this vehicle. Close C-III plus and refer back to ASIST for further diagnosis.
