Fail-Safe Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Infiniti FX35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the malfunction is detected, ECM enters fail-safe mode and the MIL lights up.

Engine operation condition in fail-safe mode

The ECM controls the electric throttle control-actuator in regulating the throttle opening in order for the idle position to be within 10 degrees.

The ECM regulates the opening speed of the throttle valve to be slower than the normal condition.

So, the acceleration will be poor.
