As a student why would you spend $12k on a 11 year old vehicle without having the vehicle and its VIN number inspected by an Infiniti dealer to obtain a vehicle history?adrians8 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2017 6:25 pmHello guys,
I recently purchased a 2007 G35x, did a pre-purchase check and a list of codes showed up. I purchased the car for $12k with just over 66,000 miles on it. Obviously I should have done some more research on the codes because after looking them up it looks like some are common and serious. Here is the list I have....
SRS System
-B1018 Occupant sensor (unit fail)
BCM
-B2014 Chain of steering lock BCM
-B2562 Low voltage
-B2607 Steering lock relay
Intelligent Cruise Control
-C1A14 ECM circuit
-C1a26 ECD Mode malfunction
-C1A04 ABS/TCS/VDC Circuit
IPDM
-U1000 CAN Communication Circuit
-B2099 ignition relay off
-B2109 Steering Lock Relay off
Stereo/Convenience
-U1300 Audio visual communication circuit
-U121F TBD control unit initialize
and "several tire pressure warning system codes present"
I took this exactly from the report given to me.
Now I understand U1000 is a big one that relates to a few of the other codes. I did some research and learned that in older cars the ground wiring might just be rusty causing the U1000. However I dont know what to look for besides the wire that connects to the negative. I would like to learn/fix as much of these as I can on my own, as I am a student with little extra funds. Thanks for your help!
I purchased a Carfax before buying it and it came up clean, and was purchased and remained on the west coast.telcoman wrote: ↑Sat Nov 25, 2017 6:30 amAs a student why would you spend $12k on a 11 year old vehicle without having the vehicle and its VIN number inspected by an Infiniti dealer to obtain a vehicle history?adrians8 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2017 6:25 pmHello guys,

Over 500,000 vehicles in the United States are flood vehicles and it sounds to me like you were played for a sucker and purchased one of them.
Return the vehicle and get your money back
Just my $.02

Yeah, with the vehicle lighting up like a pinball machine something drastic had to have happened to it. Unfortunately you didn't walk away when you saw the codes prior to purchase as you overpaid for the vehicle and bought one that is a mess. Live and learn....
