Engine not cranking...

Maybe the tune is the culprit.

Nah, I have the same tune and no problems whatsoever.

yah, the tune ECM and immobilizer are two different circuits, i think.

would turning the steering wheel a little bit to unlock and then re-introduce the key help at all? you'd need another person to hand you the key after you sit down and turn the steering.

not sure. i cant think of any other way but to call 911 for not starting car.

I had a similar problem. Battery would not hold a charge, so occasionally it would not start after short trips.
Happened when car was less than a yr. old.
Dealer replaced battery, nc..

Thanks guys, thought it was my fault!
I've always babied my Z.

CrownR426 · 01-25-2011, 12:42 PM

They think it's the fuse box.
o_____O;;
Part should be here tomorrow or thursday so I should expect my car then.
I hope they are right.
And what could've caused this?!

I think they are clutching at straws. Hopefully they called Nissan before making this determination.

W/e I went back to the dealer yesterday once I read what you guys said about the steering wheel lock the manager probably thought I was crazy for saying it's that.
He didn't even write down a single thing I said. rofl...
O well it's the dealer's money not mine!

Some Service Managers' are like that. The issue is that they are now extending the time you are without your 370Z; add to that their being unable you give you rental. It's a lose/lose until you get you 370Z back and fixed properly.

CrownR426 · 01-25-2011, 03:32 PM

Alright guys so they said that there's no signal from the IPDM to the steering lock relay.
So it's a bad IPDM.
What's that?
o___O;;

SoCal 370Z · 01-25-2011, 03:43 PM

IPDM = Intelligent Power Distribution Module

Interesting, as there is a current recall on Nissan Titan trucks regarding the IPDM: IPDM recall is official. recall PC068

lol... i was just about to post this too!

IPDM appears very easy to replace. just unclip it (or bolt) undo the harness, plug new one in, clip unit it back on. done.
