The infiniti J30 and the 90-96 300zx had the double overhead caam motor vg30de and if yours is an SE it has the same motor....What years is yours?Hey tx dart does my maxima have that v6 too. its a v6 car, 255 rated horse
Here's an example of what we go through at training.
This is a 2012 Tuscon, it starts and runs, but will not shift out of park, and the motor driven steering is inop. The ABS, EBD, ESC and ETC lights on the dash are on.
You get a DVOM, the GDS (laptop communication tool) and the electrical schematic book to diagnose the vehicle. No screwdrivers, wrenches, or tools of any kind.
First step is to hook up the GDS to the OBDII port and see if there are any codes in any system. The vehicle will not communicate with the GDS at all.
What's your next step?
And now customers are called "clients"....that's so friggin gay.

Brake light switch doesn't fit for the no steering or lack of communication problem so that can be ruled out right away.
No need for the coffee either, this has to be diagnosed in a half hour or less or you fail the class.
The next step is to find, with the schematic where the high and low CAN wires are in the OBDII connector. This is where you find out that the wires are not where the schematic says they are (not uncommon). So without another vehicle to check to see if it's wired right you look for the wire colors as noted in the schematic. You find that instead of being in terminals 3 and 9 they are in terminals 6 and 12.
With the battery diconnected you measure 0.7 ohms between the high and low CAN wires.
The CAN system uses two termination resistors wired in parallel in two different controllers that measure 120 ohms each. So what should you be reading when you measure the resistance at the OBDII plug?
This is going to tell you what the problem is but not where it's at yet.
Ole buddy,you lost me at the TUSCON part what the hell is that!!.I better keep out of this one.the best Way I could fix that would be with a gallon of gas and a zippo.lol...........Artie:coffee2:Here's an example of what we go through at training.

Your motor is a VQ35DE which is 3.5L but same motor that is in the G35.I35,03 se
Brake light switch doesn't fit for the no steering or lack of communication problem so that can be ruled out right away.
I dont care what you call me. Just don't compare what I do to the guy in the coveralls on the commercials who they potray to be a "grease monkey" like Gruber on Andy Griffiths. I don't mind being called a technician or mechanic if you respect what I have to do to be good at it. I can fixt the 50 year old stuff as well as the 2012 models because I have applied myself at my work & rose to the challenges put in front of me. Keeping up w/ new technology instead of fearing it. Learning from mistakes & knowing what my weakness may be & dilligently working to get better in those areas. I have worked mostly in dealerships my carreer, but have worked in independent shops & now own my own shop. The industry has changed from what it was for our fathers. It is way more specialized now than ever. That's also why you have a Service Advisor in the white shirt talk to you & not the technician. And the SA's job isn't easy either! I fix cars from the dealers & other independants who couldn't figure it out or more often then not, were just too lazy to go through the necessary steps to properly diagnose a problem.
It comes down to this: The quality of work you will get doesn't matter if it's from an independant or a dealer, only if the individual who is working on your car that day cares enough & is knowledged enough to do the job right. Flat rate pay systems force time & money to be a major consideration to most technicians(or mechanics) when job quality & customer satasfaction should be 1st priority.
I'm a Factory Trained & ASE Master Auto Technician w/ 30 years exp. & I'm proud of it because I know what it takes to be good!
