Infiniti FX35 Workshop Manuals and Repair Manuals

To bleed the brake system in an Infiniti FX35, start by filling the brake fluid reservoir with the recommended brake fluid. Locate the brake bleeder valves on each brake caliper or wheel cylinder and prepare a clear plastic tube and a container to catch the old brake fluid. With the help of a second person, loosen the brake bleeder valve and have them press the brake pedal slowly and hold it down. As the pedal is held down, close the bleeder valve and repeat the process until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out of the bleeder valve.

To change the oil in an Infiniti FX35, start by locating the oil drain plug underneath the vehicle. Use a wrench to loosen the plug and allow the old oil to drain into a pan. Once the oil has fully drained, replace the drain plug and refill the engine with the recommended amount of fresh oil, making sure to also replace the oil filter.

To check the transmission fluid level in an Infiniti FX35, start the engine and allow it to warm up to normal operating temperature. Locate the transmission dipstick, usually near the back of the engine compartment. With the engine running, pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then pull it out again. Check the fluid level on the dipstick and add more fluid if necessary, following the recommended fluid type and level indicated in the owner's manual.

When the check engine light comes on in an Infiniti FX35, it indicates that there is a potential issue with the vehicle's engine or emissions system. To diagnose the problem, you can use an OBD-II scanner to retrieve the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in the vehicle's computer. These codes can provide information about the specific issue causing the check engine light to illuminate. Consult a repair manual or seek professional assistance to interpret the codes and determine the appropriate course of action.

To replace a blown fuse in an Infiniti FX35, locate the fuse box, which is usually located in the engine compartment or under the dashboard. Use the fuse diagram on the fuse box cover or in the owner's manual to identify the fuse that needs to be replaced. Gently pull out the blown fuse and replace it with a new one of the same amperage rating.

To replace a headlight bulb in an Infiniti FX35, open the hood and locate the back of the headlight assembly. Twist the bulb socket counterclockwise to remove it from the assembly. Pull out the old bulb and insert the new bulb, making sure not to touch the glass portion with bare hands. Reinstall the bulb socket into the headlight assembly by twisting it clockwise.

To replace the brake pads on an Infiniti FX35, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the wheel. Locate the brake caliper and remove the bolts securing it to the caliper bracket. Once the caliper is free, carefully remove the old brake pads and replace them with the new ones, making sure to apply anti-squeal compound to the backs of the pads. Reinstall the caliper, tighten the bolts, and repeat the process for the other wheels.

To replace the cabin air filter in an Infiniti FX35, locate the cabin air filter housing, which is usually located behind the glove compartment or under the dashboard. Remove the housing cover by releasing the clips or screws holding it in place. Take out the old filter and replace it with a new one, making sure it is installed in the proper direction. Reinstall the housing cover and ensure it is securely fastened.

To replace the fuel filter in an Infiniti FX35, locate the fuel filter, which is usually located along the fuel line between the fuel tank and the engine. Use a wrench to loosen the fuel line fittings and carefully disconnect them from the filter. Remove the old filter and install the new one, making sure to align the arrow on the filter with the direction of fuel flow. Reconnect the fuel lines, ensuring they are securely tightened.

To replace the serpentine belt in an Infiniti FX35, locate the belt tensioner pulley and use a wrench or socket to rotate it counterclockwise. This will release tension on the belt, allowing you to slide it off the pulleys. Take note of the belt routing before removing it. Install the new belt by following the correct routing pattern and rotating the tensioner pulley to create enough slack to slide the belt on.

To replace the spark plugs in an Infiniti FX35, locate the spark plug wires or ignition coils on the engine. Disconnect the wires or coils and use a spark plug socket and ratchet to remove the old spark plugs. Inspect the condition of the plugs and replace them with new ones that match the manufacturer's specifications. Reinstall the wires or coils, ensuring they are securely connected.

To reset the maintenance light on an Infiniti FX35, turn the ignition switch to the ON position without starting the engine. Press the trip reset button on the instrument cluster until the maintenance reminder is displayed. Then, press and hold the trip reset button for approximately 10 seconds until the maintenance reminder resets.

If your Infiniti FX35 has a dead battery, start by checking the battery terminals for corrosion or loose connections. Clean the terminals if necessary and ensure they are securely tightened. If the terminals are in good condition, use a battery charger or jump-start the vehicle using jumper cables and another vehicle. If the battery continues to be drained, it may be necessary to have it tested and potentially replaced.

It is recommended to replace the air filter in an Infiniti FX35 every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or as specified in the owner's manual. However, if you frequently drive in dusty or dirty conditions, it may be necessary to replace the air filter more frequently. A clogged or dirty air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, reducing performance and fuel efficiency.

It is recommended to use a high-quality ethylene glycol-based coolant in an Infiniti FX35. This type of coolant provides excellent protection against freezing, boiling, and corrosion. Make sure to check the owner's manual or consult a repair manual for the specific coolant specifications and mixing ratios for your vehicle.
