Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

What are the electrical system specifications for the 2009-2013 Infiniti FX35?

The 2009-2013 Infiniti FX35 features a 12-volt electrical system with a 70-amp alternator and a 12V 80Ah battery. It supports advanced electrical components like the Intelligent Key system, power windows, and a Bose audio system. The vehicle is compatible with standard OBD-II diagnostic tools for troubleshooting. Ensure all aftermarket accessories are rated for 12V systems to avoid electrical overload.

Q2

What are the maintenance requirements for the FX35's electrical system?

Regularly inspect the battery terminals for corrosion and clean them as needed. Check the alternator and voltage regulator every 30,000 miles. Replace the battery every 3-5 years or as needed. Inspect wiring harnesses for wear or damage during routine service. Use a multimeter to test the charging system periodically to ensure it operates within 13.5-14.5 volts.

Q3

How do I replace the battery in a 2009-2013 Infiniti FX35?

To replace the battery, first, disconnect the negative terminal followed by the positive terminal. Remove the battery hold-down clamp and lift the battery out. Install the new battery, ensuring it is securely placed. Reconnect the positive terminal first, then the negative terminal. Tighten the hold-down clamp and test the electrical system to ensure proper operation.

Q4

What should I do if my FX35's electrical system malfunctions?

Start by checking the battery voltage with a multimeter. If the voltage is below 12V, recharge or replace the battery. Inspect fuses and relays for damage. Use an OBD-II scanner to check for error codes. If the alternator is suspected, test its output voltage. For persistent issues, consult a certified technician to avoid further damage.

Q5

How can I optimize the electrical performance of my FX35?

Ensure the battery is fully charged and terminals are clean. Use high-quality, low-resistance wiring for aftermarket accessories. Avoid overloading the electrical system by limiting additional components. Regularly update the vehicle's software to ensure optimal performance. Consider upgrading to a high-output alternator if adding power-intensive accessories.
