Infiniti Q45 (FY33). Manual - part 213

Tandem Throttle Position Sensor

This diagnosis is for tandem throttles (main throttle and secondary
throttle). The quantity of intake air is determined by these two
throttle valves. A rationality check is then carried out by ECM after
monitoring the signals of these two throttle position sensors.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE

NOTE:
If “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PROCE-
DURE” has been previously conducted, always turn ignition
switch “OFF” and wait at least 5 seconds before conducting
the next test.

1) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating tem-

perature.

2) Stop engine and wait at least 5 seconds.
3) Turn ignition switch “ON”.
4) Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-II.
5) Start engine and run it for 15 seconds.

Intake Valve Timing Control Position Sensor
(P1140: Left bank), (P1145: Right bank)

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

The intake valve timing control position sensor is located rearmost
of the left-bank cylinder head. This sensor detects a signal (intake
valve position) generated by the cutout portion of camshaft and
sends it to the ECM. This sensor is not used to control the engine
system. It is used only for the on board diagnosis of intake valve
timing control.

CONSULT-II REFERENCE VALUE IN DATA MONITOR MODE

Specification data are reference values.

Engine is running.

Advanced angle (degree) of the intake camshaft should be
displayed.

ECM TERMINALS AND REFERENCE VALUE

Specification data are reference values, and are measured between each terminal and ground.

CAUTION:

Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the
ECM’s transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals such as the body ground.
