ACTION 1. Reprogram the ECM, if applicable. 2. Inform the customer that premium gasoline is recommended. 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. 1/4 SERVICE PROCEDURE Reprogram the ECM 1. Using CONSULT- III plus (C-III plus), confirm the current ECM part number and write it on the repair order. If it matches one of the part numbers in Table A on the next page, reprogram the ECM. If it does not match any of the part numbers in Table A, go back to ASIST for further diagnostic and repair information. IMPORTANT: Before starting the reprogramming procedure, make sure: ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current date. All C-III plus software updates (if any) have been installed. The CONSULT PC is connected to the Internet (Wi-Fi or cable). NOTE: If you are not familiar with the reprogramming procedure, click here. This will link to the "CONSULTIII plus (C-III plus) ECM 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: 70-100°C (158-212°F) Battery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle) Transmission: Warmed up After reprogramming is complete, it is required to perform Throttle Valve Closed Position, Idle Air Volume Learn, Accelerator Closed Position, and DTC Erase. Figure 1 CAUTION: Connect the GR8 to the 12V battery and select 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 plus VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are within range of the CONSULT PC and the plus VI during reprogramming, reprogramming may be interrupted and the ECM may be damaged. 2/4 ITB19-003 Table A MODEL CURRENT ECM PART NUMBER: 237105NE0A, 5NE0B, 5NE0E 5NE1A, 5NE1B 5NE2A, 5NE2B 5NE3A, 5NE3B 5NE4A, 5NE4B 5NE5A, 5NE5B 5NE6A, 5NE6B 5NE7A, 5NE7B, 5NE7D 2019 QX50 5NE8A, 5NE8B 5NL0A, 5NL0B, 5NL0C, 5NL0D, 5NL0E 5NL1A, 5NL1B, 5NL1C, 5NL1D, 5NL1E 5NL2A, 5NL2B, 5NL2C, 5NL2D, 5NL2E 5NL3A, 5NL3B, 5NL3C, 5NL3D, 5NL3E 5NL4A, 5NL4B, 5NL4C, 5NL4D, 5NL4E 5NL5A, 5NL5B, 5NL5C, 5NL5D, 5NL5E 5NL6A, 5NL6B, 5NL6C, 5NL6D, 5NL6E 5NL7A, 5NL7B, 5NL7C, 5NL7D, 5NL7E 5NL8A, 5NL8B, 5NL8C, 5NL8D, 5NL8E 2.
