I am having the same issue on my 2002 Q45, most people that have had this problem have replaced the Starter Solenoid - You dont need to replace the whole starter, unless you have alot of miles. I ordered the part and I am going to try and install it this weekend. Almost everyone with this problem said that after replacing the solenoid the problem went away. Either do it yourself or have an independent mechanic do this, the dealer wants $900 for replacing the starter parts and labor. Solenoid is about 92 bucks online OEM.

The 3rd code/ part was probably triggered by the Driver's Airbag Squibb being faulty....Set a chain reaction....

You simply disconnect the battery, and use sockets/wrench to remove the alternator. Make sure the battery is fully charged up before you install the new alternator.

Possibly brake light switch or neutral safety switch, but not positive on an Infiniti.
