2003 Infiniti G35 Sedan (automatic transmission) with Vehicle Serials Numbers (part of the VIN) of 327918, 327920, 327976, 327978, 328979, 329004, 329025, 329078, and all serials from 329288.

All 2003, 2004, 2004.5, and 2005 Infiniti G35 Sedan, Infiniti G35 Coupe, and Nissan 350z Coupe models (automatic and manual transmissions).

This is meant to supplement the installation instructions to the LMA-3 (“AuxBox”) for the said specific model vehicles. The desired sensors can be chosen from the list below and it’s appropriate setting for scaling of the sensor’s output voltage into meaningful performance unit readouts (e.g. percentage of throttle body opening instead of a 0.36 to 4.7V raw readout) be programmed into the LogWorks software. Some sample input configuration files are included here for some common forced induction and naturally aspirated applications.

I. Built-in Sensors.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal before unplugging the ECU connector. The ECU (ECM) can be found under the passenger-side glove compartment. After unplugging the connector, remove the locking lever by snapping it out of its anchors in the middle of the connector. Remove the outer harness ‘collar’ that helps retain the wire bundle in place. Locate the appropriate wires for the desired sensors that you want to use according to the terminal number and the wire color, as described below. Here is the terminal layout of the ECU harness (rear “harness” side shown here):

The useful sensors and connections are listed in the table below, along with the appropriate scaling to be used to interpret the raw sensor voltage into meaningful data (where appropriate).

For Nissan 350z vehicles only.
Because the 350z vehicles are equipped with oil pressure gauges rather than ‘low pressure’ warning lights (as is the case with Infiniti G35 vehicles), they possess a have a full blown oil pressure sensor (instead of a pressure switch) with a 0-5V analog output. In order to log this value, you will need to tap the terminal (and a ground lead) at the triple meter as described below. This sensor is just like every other sensor described above, however it has yet to be tested. Check for an updated version of this document in the coming weeks for specific information (test results and voltage scaling).

II. Automatic Transmission Sensors:

Some useful temperature information can be found by tapping the TCM (Transmission Control Module) harness (the front “terminal” side shown here).

Note: This information is for 2003 and 2004 (Sedans: VIN up to and including E*4M600000 & F*4M700000; Coupes VIN up to and including 800000) Infiniti G35s only. The TCM appears to be built into the transmission housing itself for 2004.5+ G35 models and 350z (not confirmed). If the latter is the case, the ATF Temp Sensors 1 & 2 can be tapped from the harnesses on the sensor end (at the transmission housing); check the factory service manual for your specific vehicle make wiring diagram.

III. Additional Sensors.

Additional sensors can be purchased and installed to add to the stock sensor repertoire. These sensors must be of the 0-5V output. The following sensors appear appropriate for this purpose but have yet to be tested. Check for an updated version of this document in the coming weeks for specific information (test results and voltage scaling).
