Replying to: scottm123 (Sep 12, 2007 5:38 am) I did some background research and found this on Consumer Guide Auto: "Automatic transmission: The automatic transmission may engage slowly, shift hard or into the wrong gear requiring reprogramming of the transmission control module. (2003) " The only problem is that the dealership refuses to do anythign unless it can reproduce the problem... which it has not been able to the past 3 times I have taken it in. Is there a way to reset the transmission or flash the memory manually? Or do I have to convince these guys something is up..?

Replying to: scottm123 (Sep 12, 2007 9:50 am) I found an even better link right here which walks you through the steps: ECU Resetting Procedures I haven't tested it out yet but hopefully this fixed this issue. |

Well, I tried resetting the ECU... but of course it didn't fix the problem. I was leaving the country at the time so I sorta hoped that after 3 months it would fix itself, which it didn't either. So now I have no idea what the problem could be. I've taken it to the dealership multiple times about this problem and of course they can't reproduce the problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Replying to: msidman (Jun 24, 2008 3:10 pm) "Never heard of that." "No error codes are shown." (I asked if any error codes were logged.) "No updates are available." (I asked if there were any tranny firmware updates.) "Unable to confirm." (As we expected.) Oh well. If it doesn't get worse I can live with it. If it does get worse, I have two years left on my extended warranty...

Replying to: jray2049 (Jun 26, 2008 6:45 pm) ECU Resetting Procedures Timing is extremely critical. If it is NOT DONE within the specify time, the ECU will not reset and the Check Engine Light (CEL) will continue to remain ON. A stop watch or an analog clock with a second’s needle will be useful. Operations Procedures for Basic reset. 1. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch “ON” and wait 3 seconds. 2. Repeat the following steps (2a and 2b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds. 2a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD). 2b. Fully release the accelerator pedal. 3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking. 4. Fully release the accelerator pedal (while the CEL is still blinking) 5. Wait about 10 second. 6. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for more than 10 seconds. 7. Fully release the accelerator pedal (The CEL light will continue to blink). 8. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position and now you can start the car. The CEL light should be gone. If the CEL light continues to remain ON, repeat the above steps. Timing is EXTREMELY critical to resetting the ECU. Hope this works. There are also directions on Accelerator Pedal Release Position Learning, Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning and Idle Air Volume Learning (Throttle Position Learning). So if you want those either I will post here or just go to G35Driver and do a quick search.

Replying to: esfoad (Jul 02, 2008 11:49 am) Just my luck... of course. I've sort of given up on the problem and have just dealt with it. Over time I've actually been able to predict when the shifting problem is about to occur... it almost seems as if the engine gets stuck at lower RPMs when it hits around 40 mph. (For example, I will be pushing on the accelerator and the RPMs won't increase as they normally do, albeit they might do it slightly slower). If I know its coming, most of the time I can break it by accelerating harder, and then taking my foot off the gas, sort of powering it through to the next gear. |

| Just purchased a 2004 G35X with 56,000 miles. The rpms at 70 MPH are nearning 3500. Is this normal. At 55 mph they are 2200. Seems high for a 5 speed auto. I notice when I am in autoshift that it only goes to 4th gear. I was told this was a 5 speed auto with overdrive. | |
