Women of Olden days had deep respect & were submissive to their husbands.

Talk is cheap, implementation is the koko.

Ok maybe I'll upgrade soonest.

Costee:
Limited capabilities. I doubt whether it can scan the transmission, ABS, and SRS (airbag) modules. As for the ecm no probs.

Which do you recommend for the four modules?

Hope its ok.

Autop D900 2014

Ok Chief, latest tommorow I would pull up the codes.

Costee:
I meant bank 1, the driver's side.
Maybe you should be patient for your scanner to arrive.

Ok driver's side noted.

So with the SES light on now I can't even drive that car?What do you think?

These are the codes after the scan in march before the brain box issue:

1.P0300.... Multiple Cylinder Misfire.
2.P0113.... Intake Air Temperature.
3.P0051... Oxygen Sensor Heater Control.
4.P0455... Evaporative Control Large Leak.

Costee:
If by this you mean the four codes, they refer to three oxygen sensors: the 2 downstream, and 1 upstream for bank 2.
Do you have a scanner?

My scanner I ordered would arrive tommorow latest.

Bank 2 is the one on the passenger side close to the engine I guess.

Costee:
You mean this was what you diagnosed (presumed) to be bad cats? It seems to me that undue tinkering must have caused a short that damaged your ecm (I may be wrong of course).
Based on your VIN, your FX is Canadian spec. Produced in Sept 2003 with all black colours. Your ecm should support the use of your Adaptive Cruise Control. If the one you have there now doesn't then it's not your car's specifically, though it's compatible enough to do other or basic functions. For now, I'd suggest you attend to the oxygen sensors. (But then bad oxygen sensors can cause such fuming as you described. Bad cats emit foul smell not fumes)

This scan was after the brain box was changed 2 days ago.I was driving when the car just went off like that in march after idling the vehicle for 20minutes.

I was supposed to take the car to one guy GAZZUZZ introduced me to, the SES light is up again am am thinking before I drive to his workshop I don't want this car to stop on the road again.

With these codes can one detect the exact sensor that is bad?

Costee:
Am I missing something here? How do bad cats come into this saga? Your codes do not show bad cats. They are all related to your oxygen sensors: they're either bad or the connections are shorted. Only one sensor appears to be free, B2S1. You have two cats, might as well gut them for now.
The only thing I find puzzling though is that the code P1276 is not applicable to the VK45 engine that yours is since you have an FX45. Maybe it's of little consequence. Dunno. Or maybe the new ECM...
Out of curiosity, what's your VIN?

JNRBS08W54X400452.

Just what I noticed also before this time was fumes coming out from under the hood of the car after a long drive.

As for the cats now the auto medics can't figure out the exact cat that is blocked or whether the o2 sensor is bad.

I just took my car home for now,I really wish I was in lagos.

Scan was done this morning with the following codes; P1148,P1276,P0138 & P0158.

Or should I just change the whole exhaust system with a new one?

The car just started after the second brain box was programmed, just one kick.

Sweet bitter experience, the remaining stuff is to trace the bad cat.

Hello House,
Please advice on the reliability of 2006 Infiniti FX45. Outside fuel consuption which am aware of is normal being a V8. Re there any other prone faults like transmission or electrical faults? Is it a durable ride? Re the parts readily available at considerable cost?
Thanks in advance

Although mine is an 04 I can drop a few lines from experience.

Apart from the catalytic getting blocked & currently the brain box, its been very reliable for the last 1year.

As for fuel consumption its a V8 & the consumption its ok.

No transmission & electrical problems except the rusted transmission line from the radiator/power steering hose.If I had bought the car in Nigeria I would have thoroughly checked under the car for rusts which I could have avoided.

The parts are expensive & you can always order from abroad if the part you need is not readly available.

In port harcourt, I am still looking for a specialist for this FX.

In the nearest future I would be sticking to the common brands like the Lexus, Highlander, Camry.

nissparts:
I agree with the brain box diagnosis

Ok waiting for the brain box to be delivered this morning.

GAZZUZZ:
Not a very smart way to go about fixing a car.
Like a human check for vitals
1. Engine compression
2.A spark at the plugs (continuous while cranking)
3.Fuel supply (pressure must be minimum 3bar for ur engine)
4. Timing marks must be set right.
The fuel supply must pulse according to combustion sequence in the right order.
If all these are ok car will start 101per.

Number 2 & 3 was done in my presence.

You are in lagos I guess.

The auto electrician cleaned all the earth wires which was full of rusts (thanks to my brother that sold a car with so much rusts) car still refused to start.

He checked all the fuse and none was blown.So even with the exorbitant price he asked for he could not deliver.

He brought his own diagnistic tool but could not detect anything.After some further test they found out that the fuel was not entering into the engine.

They called another guy who said it was the brain box

Am a little bit surprised, can you be in motion and your brain box goes bad just like that?

So they would be getting a brain box today to see if it works.

I would be updating the house for all to see & learn from my experience also to those planning on the FX,that car na big man big wahala.

One good auto electrician was called in and he said its an electrical problem that he can fix it but his charge was only 30k.


Payment would only be made after he has done the job.

Someone said its a brain box issue.

The problem now is no error code is coming out again.

Osama10:
That means I should replace the oxygen sensors too?

Just to update how far I went with the repairs.

1.All 8 plugs & 8 coils were replaced.
2.Engine filter & Cabin filter replaced.

Tried starting the car but refused to start.

2 of the 4 cats close to the exhaust were removed, car still refused to start and in the process 1coil went out fortunately I had 3 spares.

Hmmn.

5 weeks to go.

Everthing is fake in this country.
