Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR
BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEATBELTPRE-TENSIONER” used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of
collision. The SRS system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL A33 is as follows (The composition varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
+ For a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), seat belt
pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
+ For a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front
seat), satellite sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision), wiring
harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the RS section of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
+ To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance should be performed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
+ Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the RS section.
+ Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation tape either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.

Precautions for On Board Diagnostic (EUROOBD) System of A/T and Engine — EURO-OBD
—
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to warn the
driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
+ Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative battery terminal before any
repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid valves, etc.
will cause the MI to light up.
+ Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MI to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
+ Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. may cause the MI to light up due to a short circuit.
+ Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MI to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system, etc.
+ Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the TCM or
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
Precautions
+Before connecting or disconnecting the TCM harness
connector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect negative battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage the
TCM. Because battery voltage is applied to TCM even if
ignition switch is turned OFF.

PRECAUTIONS
+When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from TCM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on TCM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
AAT470A
+Before replacing TCM, perform TCM input/output signal
inspection and make sure whether TCM functions properly or not. Refer to AT-116.
MEF040DA
SAT652J
+After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
“DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE”.
The DTC should not be displayed in the “DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE” if the repair is completed.
+Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the out-
side of the transaxle. It is important to prevent the internal parts
from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
+Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
+Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common
shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere with the operation of the transaxle.
+Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper
assembly.
+All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose,
non-flammable solvent before inspection or reassembly.
+Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the
transaxle is disassembled.
+It is very important to perform functional tests whenever they
are indicated.
+The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme
care when parts are removed and serviced. Place disassembled valve body parts in order for easier and proper
assembly. Care will also prevent springs and small parts from
becoming scattered or lost.
+Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along
bores in valve body under their own weight.

LINE PRESSURE CONTROL
=NFAT0280
NFAT0280S01
TCM has various line pressure control characteristics to meet the
driving conditions.
An ON-OFF duty signal is sent to the line pressure solenoid valve
based on TCM characteristics.
Hydraulic pressure on the clutch and brake is electronically controlled through the line pressure solenoid valve to accommodate
engine torque. This results in smooth shift operation.
Normal Control
NFAT0280S0101
The line pressure to throttle opening characteristics is set for suitable clutch operation.
Back-up Control (Engine brake)
NFAT0280S0102
If the selector lever is shifted to 2 position while driving in D4(O/D)
, great driving force is applied to the clutch inside the trans-
or D

mission. Clutch operating pressure (line pressure) must be
increased to deal with this driving force.
SAT004J
SAT005J
During Shift Change
NFAT0280S0103
The line pressure is temporarily reduced corresponding to a
change in engine torque when shifting gears (that is, when the shift
solenoid valve is switched for clutch operation) to reduce shifting
shock.
At Low Fluid Temperature
NFAT0280S0104
+Fluid viscosity and frictional characteristics of the clutch facing

+The line pressure is reduced below 60°C (140°F) to prevent
shifting shock due to low viscosity of automatic transmission
fluid when temperature is low.
+Line pressure is increased to a maximum irrespective of the
throttle opening when fluid temperature drops to −10°C (14°F).
This pressure rise is adopted to prevent a delay in clutch and
brake operation due to extreme drop of fluid viscosity at low
temperature.
SAT007J
SHIFT CONTROL
The shift is regulated entirely by electronic control to accommodate
vehicle speed and varying engine operations. This is accomplished
by electrical signals transmitted by the revolution sensor and
throttle position sensor. This results in improved acceleration performance and fuel economy.
Control of Shift Solenoid Valves A and B
The TCM activates shift solenoid valves A and B according to signals from the throttle position sensor and revolution sensor to
select the optimum gear position on the basis of the shift schedule
memorized in the TCM.
The shift solenoid valve performs simple ON-OFF operation. When
set to ON, the drain circuit closes and pilot pressure is applied to
the shift valve.
SAT008J
Relation between shift solenoid valves A and B and gear positions
Pilot pressure generated by the operation of shift solenoid valves
A and B is applied to the end face of shift valves A and B.
The drawing above shows the operation of shift valve B. When the
shift solenoid valve is ON, pilot pressure applied to the end face of
the shift valve overcomes spring force, moving the valve upward.
LOCK-UP CONTROL
NFAT0280S03
The torque converter clutch piston in the torque converter is locked
to eliminate torque converter slip to increase power transmission
efficiency. The solenoid valve is controlled by an ON-OFF duty
signal sent from the TCM. The signal is converted to an oil pressure signal which controls the lock-up piston.
Conditions for Lock-up Operation
NFAT0280S0301
When vehicle is driven in 4th gear position, vehicle speed and
throttle opening are detected. If the detected values fall within the

The torque converter clutch solenoid valve is controlled by the
TCM. The plunger closes the drain circuit during the OFF period,
and opens the circuit during the ON period. If the percentage of
OFF-time increases in one cycle, the pilot pressure drain time is
reduced and pilot pressure remains high.
The torque converter clutch piston is designed to slip to adjust the
ratio of ON-OFF, thereby reducing lock-up shock.

Torque Converter Clutch Control Valve Operation

AAT155A
Lock-up released
The OFF-duration of the torque converter clutch solenoid valve is
long, and pilot pressure is high. The pilot pressure pushes the end
face of the torque converter clutch control valve in combination with
spring force to move the valve to the left. As a result, converter
pressure is applied to chamber A (torque converter clutch piston
release side). Accordingly, the torque converter clutch piston
remains unlocked.
Lock-up applied
When the OFF-duration of the torque converter clutch solenoid
valve is short, pilot pressure drains and becomes low. Accordingly,
the control valve moves to the right by the pilot pressure of the
other circuit and converter pressure. As a result, converter pressure is applied to chamber B, keeping the torque converter clutch
piston applied.
Also smooth lock-up is provided by transient application and
release of the lock-up.
OVERRUN CLUTCH CONTROL (ENGINE BRAKE
CONTROL)
Forward one-way clutch is used to reduce shifting shocks in downshifting operations. This clutch transmits engine torque to the
wheels. However, drive force from the wheels is not transmitted to
the engine because the one-way clutch rotates idle. This means the
engine brake is not effective.
The overrun clutch operates when the engine brake is needed.

Overrun Clutch Solenoid Valve Control
NFAT0280S0402
The overrun clutch solenoid valve is operated by an ON-OFF signal transmitted by the TCM to provide overrun clutch control
(engine brake control).
When this solenoid valve is ON, the pilot pressure drain port
closes. When it is OFF, the drain port opens.
During the solenoid valve ON pilot pressure is applied to the end
face of the overrun clutch control valve.
Overrun Clutch Control Valve Operation
NFAT0280S0403
When the solenoid valve is ON, pilot pressure is applied to the
overrun clutch control valve. This pushes up the overrun clutch
control valve. The line pressure is then shut off so that the clutch
does not engage.
When the solenoid valve is OFF, pilot pressure is not generated.
At this point, the overrun clutch control valve moves downward by
spring force. As a result, overrun clutch operation pressure is provided by the overrun clutch reducing valve. This causes the overrun clutch to engage.
In the 1 position, the overrun clutch control valve remains pushed
down so that the overrun clutch is engaged at all times.

Introduction
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
EURO-OBD
Introduction
NFAT0017
The A/T system has two self-diagnostic systems.
The first is the emission-related on board diagnostic system (EURO-OBD) performed by the TCM (transmission control module) in combination with the ECM. The malfunction is indicated by the MI (malfunction indicator) and is stored as a DTC in the ECM memory but not the TCM memory.
The second is the TCM original self-diagnosis indicated by the O/D OFF indicator lamp. The malfunction is
stored in the TCM memory. The detected items are overlapped with EURO-OBD self-diagnostic items. For
detail, refer to AT-41.
EURO-OBD Function for A/T System
NFAT0018
The ECM provides emission-related on board diagnostic (EURO-OBD) functions for the A/T system. One
function is to receive a signal from the TCM used with OBD-related parts of the A/T system. The signal is sent
to the ECM when a malfunction occurs in the corresponding EURO-OBD-related part. The other function is to
indicate a diagnostic result by means of the MI (malfunction indicator) on the instrument panel. Sensors,
switches and solenoid valves are used as sensing elements.
The MI automatically illuminates in One or Two Trip Detection Logic when a malfunction is sensed in relation
to A/T system parts.
One or Two Trip Detection Logic of EURO-OBD
ONE TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
NFAT0019
NFAT0019S01
If a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, the MI will illuminate and the malfunction will be stored
in the ECM memory as a DTC. The TCM is not provided with such a memory function.
TWO TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
NFAT0019S02
When a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, it is stored in the ECM memory as a 1st trip DTC
(diagnostic trouble code) or 1st trip freeze frame data. At this point, the MI will not illuminate. — First Trip

HOW TO READ DTC AND 1ST TRIP DTC
NFAT0020
NFAT0020S01
DTC and 1st trip DTC can be read by the following methods.
(
With CONSULT-II orGST) CONSULT-II or GST (Generic Scan Tool) Examples: P0705, P0710, P0720,
P0725, etc.
These DTCs are prescribed by SAE J2012.
(CONSULT-II also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)
+ 1st trip DTC No. is the same as DTC No.
+ Output of the diagnostic trouble code indicates that the indicated circuit has a malfunction.
However, in case of the Mode II and GST they do not indicate whether the malfunction is still
occurring or occurred in the past and returned to normal.
CONSULT-II can identify them as shown below. Therefore, using CONSULT-II (if available) is recommended.
A sample of CONSULT-II display for DTC and 1st trip DTC is shown on the next page. DTC or 1st trip DTC
of a malfunction is displayed in “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” mode for “ENGINE” with CONSULT-II. Time data
indicates how many times the vehicle was driven after the last detection of a DTC.
2.Touch “SELF DIAGNOSIS”.
Display shows malfunction experienced since the last erasing
operation.
CONSULT-II performs “Real Time Diagnosis”.
Also, any malfunction detected while in this mode will be displayed at real time.

Introduction
NFAT0024
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle speed sensor, throttle
position sensor or park/neutral position (PNP) switch and provides
shift control or lock-up control via A/T solenoid valves.
The TCM also communicates with the ECM by means of a signal
sent from sensing elements used with the EURO-OBD-related
parts of the A/T system for malfunction-diagnostic purposes. The
TCM is capable of diagnosing malfunctioning parts while the ECM
can store malfunctions in its memory.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the A/T system. The A/T system must be in good
operating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve
malfunction, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs intermittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only, may not find the cause of the problems. A road
test with CONSULT-II (or GST) or a circuit tester connected should
be performed. Follow the “Work Flow”. Refer to AT-72.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The customer can supply good information about such problems, especially intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and
under what conditions they occur.A“DIAGNOSITC WORKSHEET”
like the example (AT-69) should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” problems first.
This will help troubleshoot driveability problems on an electronically
controlled engine vehicle.
Also check related Service bulletins for information.

JUDGEMENT OF LINE PRESSURE TEST
JudgementSuspected parts
Line pressure is low in all positions.+ Oil pump wear
+ Control piston damage
+ Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
+ Spring for pressure regulator valve damaged
+ Fluid pressure leakage between oil strainer and
pressure regulator valve
+ Clogged strainer
Line pressure is low in particular position.+ Fluid pressure leakage between manual valve and
particular clutch
+ For example, line pressure is:
− Low in R and 1 positions, but
− Normal in D and 2 positions.
Therefore, fluid leakage exists at or around low and
reverse brake circuit.
Refer to “CLUTCH AND BAND CHART”, AT-20.
Line pressure is high.+ Maladjustment of throttle position sensor
+ A/T fluid temperature sensor damaged
+ Line pressure solenoid valve sticking
+ Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
+ Pressure modifier valve sticking
+ Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
+ Open in dropping resistor circuit
