Infiniti vehicles equipped with standard lead/acid batteries use one of two different types with unique battery rating specifications: JIS & CCA.

JIS = Japan Industrial Standard, used for Japan produced batteries

CCA = Cold Cranking Amps, standard for North American produced batteries

IMPORTANT:

^ JIS batteries have different testing specifications than CCA batteries.

^ If you must use the GR-8 Battery Tester in a mode other than MODEL mode, JIS Mode MUST ALWAYS BE USED for JIS batteries otherwise

an incorrect result will occur. NEVER test a JIS battery using the CCA test in the GR-8; the test software in the GR-8 is different for JIS and CCA

modes. ANY CCA value you may have for a JIS-type battery is inaccurate for testing purposes.

ALWAYS test with the GR-8 using the MODEL mode (if available).

^ Selecting MODEL and vehicle type will automatically select the proper JIS or CCA value for the Original Equipment battery.

422

^ If the applicable vehicle is not listed, update the GR-8 to make sure it has the most recent data package. (1)

(1) To run the Midtronics Update Wizard for the GR-8 tester in CONSULT III:

^ Make sure the cables from the GR-8 to the multi-tasker are connected and both units are turned on.

^ Click on the ASIST icon.

^ Select 192-725C and click OK.

^ Click on next and follow the prompts on the Midtronics Update Wizard screen.

If the applicable vehicle still is not listed:

1) Determine which type of battery (CCA or JIS) is installed in the vehicle. Refer below for descriptions of each battery.

2) Select CCA or JIS in the GR-8 based on the type of battery installed. refer below for more information.

Determine the Battery Type

Batteries with JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) Number

^ Batteries installed in vehicles produced in Japan have a JIS number embossed in the plastic on top of the battery.

^ These vehicles have a VIN that begins with the letter "J".

Batteries with CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) Number

423

^ Batteries installed in vehicles produced in North America have a CCA number displayed on the label attached to the top of the battery.

^ These vehicles have a VIN that begins with a number: 1, 3, or 5.

Selecting CCA or JIS in the GR-8 Battery Tester

Vehicles with JIS Battery

^ Select JIS, then choose the option that matches the first five (5) characters of the JIS number on the battery.

NOTE:

DO NOT select CCA when testing a JIS battery.

Vehicles with CCA Battery

^ Select CCA, then choose the option that matches the number following "Cold Cranking Amps" on the battery.

^ Nut/bolt threads.

^ Female threads in bolt holes (use the correct size tap).

e. Reinstall and tighten the nut or bolt that holds the terminal eyelet.

4. If the ECM ground terminals are attached to the steering member assembly (cross brace under the dash):

169

a. Remove the fasteners (nuts bolts screws) that attach the left side instrument stay assembly (cross brace support) to the steering member

assembly (see Figure 3).

b. Clean the mounting surfaces and fastener threads.

c. Reassemble and tighten the fasteners.

Example only: Steering member support assembly and instrument stay assembly

5. Clean the negative battery cable connection.

a. Write down all the radio presets.

b. Disconnect the negative battery cable at the battery and at the body connection.

c. Clean the following items:

^ Negative cable-to-body connection eyelet (both sides)

^ Body connection bolt (head and threads)

^ Female bolt hole threads (use correct size tap)

SERVICE INFORMATION

NOTE:

^ This bulletin provides information to be shared with all affected customers.

^ This TSB contains the appropriate hookup points for connecting a trailer light wiring harness to the towing vehicle's electrical system.

^ The wiring diagrams contained in this bulletin are for Infiniti vehicles that have trailer towing capability (see the owners manual) but do not

have a Genuine Infiniti accessory towing kit (with wiring) available.

348

^ When splicing into the vehicle electrical system a power-type module/converter must be used to provide power for all trailer lighting. A

power-type module/converter uses the vehicle battery as a direct power source for all trailer lights while using the vehicle tail lamp stoplight

and turn signal circuits only as a signal source. (See the illustration.) The module/converter must draw no more than 5 milliamps from the

vehicle turn signal circuits and no more than 15 milliamps from the stop and tail lamp circuits.

CAUTION:

Using a module/converter that exceeds these power requirements listed above may negatively affect the performance and function of the vehicle's

electrical system.

See a professional trailer dealer or trailer rental agency for installation of the proper equipment.

Customers who inquire about towing should be reminded of the following:

^ Always check for correct operation of the turn signals stoplights and taillights every time a trailer is hitched up for towing.

^ The towing capacity for 135 G35 Sedan and Coupe G37 Coupe M35/M45 and Q45 is 1,000 lbs.

For more information customers should be referred to the Owners Manual as well as the Infiniti Towing Guide available online at the website.
