A vehicle equipped with All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) should never be tested using a two
wheel dynamometer (such as the dyna-
mometers used by some states for emis-
sions testing), or similar equipment. Make
sure you inform test facility personnel that
your vehicle is equipped with AWD before it
is placed on a dynamometer. Using the
wrong test equipment may result in trans-
mission damage or unexpected vehicle
movement which could result in serious ve-
hicle damage or personal injury.
Due to legal requirements in some states/
areas, your vehicle may be required to be in
what is called the “ready condition” for an
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of the
emission control system.
The vehicle is set to the “ready condition”
when it is driven through certain driving
patterns. Usually, the “ready condition”
can be obtained by ordinary usage of the
vehicle.
If a powertrain system component is re-
paired or the battery is disconnected, the
vehicle may be reset to a “not ready condi-
tion”. Before taking the I/M test, check the
vehicle’s inspection/maintenance test
readiness condition. Turn the ignition
switch to the ON position without starting
the engine. If the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) comes on steady for 20 sec-
onds and then blinks for 10 seconds, the
I/M test condition is “not ready”. If the
MIL does not blink after 20 seconds, the
I/M test condition is “ready”.
If the MIL indicates the vehicle is in a “not
ready” condition, drive the vehicle through
the following pattern to set the vehicle to
the “ready condition”. If you cannot or do
not want to perform the driving pattern, an
INFINITI dealer can conduct it for you.
WARNING
Always drive the vehicle in a safe and pru-
dent manner according to traffic conditions,
and obey all traffic laws.
1. Start the engine. Allow the engine to
idle until the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge needle points between the C
and H (normal operating temperature).
2. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88
km/h), then quickly release the accel-
erator pedal completely and keep it re-
leased for at least 10 seconds.
