Classification: Reference: Date: EC18-016 ITB18-022 June 28, 2018 2014 – 2017 Q50 HYBRID; ENGINE STOPS RUNNING IN EXTREMELY HOT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES AND DTC P3182 STORED APPLIED VEHICLES: APPLIED ENGINE: 2014 – 2017 Q50 Hybrid (V37) VQ35HR IF YOU CONFIRM Engine stops running in extremely hot ambient temperatures (greater than 110 degrees Fahrenheit) and DTC P3182 HV BATTERY SYSTEM is stored. ACTION 1. Refer to step 14 in the SERVICE PROCEDURE to see if this bulletin applies to the vehicle you are working on. 2. If this bulletin applies, reprogram the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM). 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. 1/17 SERVICE PROCEDURE 1. Before continuing, it is IMPORTANT to make sure: ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been freshly synchronized (updated) to the current date. All CONSULT related software updates (if any) have been installed. NOTE: The CONSULT PC automatically gets all reprogramming software during ASIST synchronization. CAUTION: Connect the GR8 to the vehicle 12 volt battery and set to ECM power supply mode. If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or rises above 15.5V during reprogramming, control unit may be damaged. Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads. If a vehicle electrical load remains ON, control unit 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 control unit may be damaged. Turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.) within range of the CONSULT PC and the plus VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are within range of the CONSULT PC during reprogramming, reprogramming may be interrupted and control unit may be damaged. 2. Once all ASIST and CONSULT related updates have been performed, attach the CONSULT PC to the vehicle. Connect the plus VI to the vehicle. Connect the AC adapter to the CONSULT PC. 3. Turn ON the CONSULT PC, and then open CONSULT III plus (C-III plus). NOTE: Make sure all applications other than C-III plus are closed. 2/17 ITB18-022 4. Press the ignition switch twice without depressing the brake pedal. The meter and gauges will illuminate. Make sure the Ready light is OFF. 5. Check for stored DTCs in all systems as follows: a. Wait for the plus VI to be recognized. b. Select Diagnosis (All Systems). c. Wait for System Call to complete. d. Check for stored DTCs. If no DTCs found, go to step 6. If any DTCs are found stored: Perform diagnosis and repairs related to the stored DTC(s), and then erase the DTC(s). When completed, go to step 6. 6. Go to Re/programming, Configuration. a. Select the Home button, and then YES to return to the screen shown in Figure 1. b. Select Re/programming, Configuration. Plus VI is recognized Step 5b Step 6b Figure 1 3/17 ITB18-022 7.

When you get to the screen shown in Figure 8, confirm reprogramming applies as follows: A. Find the current Part Number and write it on the repair order. Current Part Number 14C: If a match, select Save Figure 8 B. Compare the P/N written down to the P/Ns in the Current Part Number column of Table A below: If there is a match, reprogramming applies. Continue with the reprogramming procedure. If there is not a match, this bulletin does not apply. Refer to ASIST for further diagnostic and repair information. C. If there is a P/N match as specified above, select Save, and then continue with the reprogramming procedure.
