V36 Rev Probs, Firmware Update Anyone?

[scotty nm35]

Nice one, ask them for the file so the rest of the guys can flash theirs.

Should be just a phone call away.

Infiniti Melb said they'd simply put the update on a USB and mail it to my local.

BIG DRAMA

Car was booked in at NISSAN by cardealer where i bought car from,When i got there at NISSAN dealership the guy who is working on my car said he is keep sending request to Nissan to get software update but frm japan they are not releasing.Now he said to wait till monday to hear from them they have requestd again.Otherwise they have got the part no which is brand new ICU,they wll have to buy.Cz cleaning throttle body has caused trouble to car which is wen dey start the car its playing up with RPM,it keeps playing between 1100-1900 range its not stable

any advise what to do ???

I have asked for a refund for my car but manager says plz give us time to sort this out.

Cleaning the throttle is something most Nissan mechs know not to do.

There are plenty of throttle relearn procedures they can do in the consult 3 diagnostic program, but I think they need to be done in a certain order.

hey scotty car was at dealer's mechanic first he tried to solve that problem so he did cleaning,when it got out of his hands he gave up and reffred to Nissan and he has made that problem even worse before i could drive my car,Now i can't even drive.Sick of this LOAN car they hve given me ,Hopefully something will workout my way coming week

I had issues when I did a TB clean. My rpm fluctuated fro 1.5-2.5k rpm non stop...I went as far as getting new TBs but still same issue. Not too sure what the issue was there. Nissan couldn't figure it out. They did ECU reset, reflash, throttle relearn and whatever other relearn/reflash/reset possible. Nothing worked. I ended up taking one of my mates TB, same part number everything but that worked on my car...so we just swapped.

.Otherwise they have got the part no which is brand new ICU,they wll have to buy.

That is my next step if I can't get the file. Buying a new one already updated.

I think dats what they will have to do as well for my car,cz if u cudnt get update from Infiniti Australia.There is no way they can get here as well.They might endup buyin another ECU used one or may be brand new.Looking forward to get my car back its been two weeks now.hopefully good news gona come towards coming monday fingers crossed ....

Yea dats what scotty said earlier Cleaning TB is gonna make worse the problem thats what it did,but i wll leave the dealer to get it fixed now cz i had enough of his drama..

Cheers for ur information anyways

I tried finding a second hand one, but could not get confirmation from anyone if they were updated or not.
Not sure of the price of a new ECU (wouldn't be cheap) compared to a second hand one (see them on ebay around the $300-$500 mark sometimes)

Hello All

Just an update on this dealer bought second hand ECU to fix my car which arrived last weekend.Nissan was hoping by replacing it problem will go away.But today i got an update throttle body and ecu codes doesn't match.So they need two brand new throttle bodies and brand new ecu.

Anyone knows will this work or not ????

Probably not. What is the fault yours is doing again?

[princesng]

Probably not. What is the fault yours is doing again?

Pretty rough IDLE, RPM range is jumping around between 1000-2000 when its idle

[scotty nm35]

And the idle relearn procedures aren't working? There are 3 processes that need to be followed in order to get the idle to relearn. If it doesn't find 650rpm + or - 100revs it won't set, in which case you most probably have a vacuum leak.

If the process works, and the idle drops, but then goes back to a high idle after you restart the engine next, you probably have an engine fault code logged in the ecu.

The rough idle, what makes it rough? Does it sound like it has lumpy cams? Is it missfiring?
