PRECAUTIONS
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER”
The supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-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 R50 is as follows:
IFor 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.
IFor a side collision
The SupplementalRestraint System consists of side air bag module(located in the outer side of front seat),
satellite sensor, diagnosissensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision), wiringharness,
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:
ITo 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 must be performed
by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
IImproper 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.
IDo 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 (OBD)
System of A/T and Engine
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:
IBe 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 MIL to light up.
IBe sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
IBe sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to a short circuit.
IBe sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system,
etc.
IBe sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
Precautions
IBefore 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.

Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on TCM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
IBefore replacing TCM, perform TCM input/output signal
inspection and make sure whether TCM functions properly or not. (See page AT-92.)
IAfter 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.

IBefore proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the out-
side of the transmission. It is important to prevent the internal
parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
IDisassembly should be done in a clean work area.
IUse lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common
shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere with the operation of the transmission.
IPlace disassembled parts in order for easier and proper
assembly.
IAll parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose,
non-flammable solvent before inspection or reassembly.
IGaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the
transmission is disassembled.
IIt is very important to perform functional tests whenever they
are indicated.
IThe 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.
IProperly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along
bores in valve body under their own weight.

PRECAUTIONS
IBefore assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all
parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings and seals, or
hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not
use grease.
IExtreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings,
seals and gaskets when assembling.
IReplace ATF cooler if excessive foreign material is found in oil
pan or clogging strainer. Refer to “ATF COOLER SERVICE”
(Refer to AT-9).
IAfter overhaul, refill the transmission with new ATF.
IWhen the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is
drained. Old A/T fluid will remain in torque converter and ATF
cooling system.
Always follow the procedures when changing A/T fluid. Refer
to MA-24, “Changing A/T Fluid”.

Service Notice or Precautions
FAIL-SAFE
NAAT0004
NAAT0004S01
The TCM has an electronic Fail-Safe (limp home mode). This allows the vehicle to be driven even if a major
electrical input/output device circuit is damaged.
Under Fail-Safe, the vehicle always runs in third gear, even with a shift lever position of “1”, “2” or “D”. The
customer may complain of sluggish or poor acceleration.
When the ignition key is turned “ON” following Fail-Safe operation, O/D OFF indicator lamp blinks for about
8 seconds. (For “TCM SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (No Tools)”, refer to AT-46.)
Fail-Safe may occur without electrical circuit damage if the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions (such
as excessive wheel spin followed by sudden braking). To recover normal shift pattern, turn the ignition key
“OFF” for 5 seconds, then “ON”.
The blinking of the O/D OFF indicator lamp for about 8 seconds will appear only once and be cleared. The
customer may resume normal driving conditions.
Always follow the “WORK FLOW” (Refer to AT-57).
The SELF-DIAGNOSIS results will be as follows:
The first SELF-DIAGNOSIS will indicate damage to the vehicle speed sensor or the revolution sensor.
During the next SELF-DIAGNOSIS, performed after checking the sensor, no damages will be indicated.
TORQUE CONVERTER SERVICE
NAAT0004S04
The torque converter should be replaced under any of the following conditions:
IExternal leaks in the hub weld area.
IConverter hub is scored or damaged.
IConverter pilot is broken, damaged or fits poorly into crankshaft.
ISteel particles are found after flushing the cooler and cooler lines.
IPump is damaged or steel particles are found in the converter.
IVehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC apply. Replace only after all hydraulic and electrical diagnoses
have been made. (Converter clutch material may be glazed.)
IConverter is contaminated with engine coolant containing antifreeze.
IInternal failure of stator roller clutch.
IHeavy clutch debris due to overheating (blue converter).
ISteel particles or clutch lining material found in fluid filter or on magnet when no internal parts in unit are
worn or damaged — indicates that lining material came from converter.
The torque converter should not be replaced if:
IThe fluid has an odor, is discolored, and there is no evidence of metal or clutch facing particles.
AT-8

EXIT
EXIT
IThe threads in one or more of the converter bolt holes are damaged.
ITransmission failure did not display evidence of damaged or worn internal parts, steel particles or clutch
plate lining material in unit and inside the fluid filter.
IVehiclehas been exposed to high mileage (only). The exception may be where the torque converter clutch
dampener plate lining has seen excess wear by vehicles operated in heavy and/or constant traffic, such
as taxi, delivery or police use.
ATF COOLER SERVICE
Replace ATF cooler if excessive foreign material is found in oil pan or clogging strainer.
Replace radiator lower tank (which includes ATF cooler) with a new one and flush cooler line using cleaning
solvent and compressed air.
OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSIS
IA/T self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. The results can be read through
the blinking pattern of the O/D OFF indicator or the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Refer to the table on
AT-38 for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic result.
IThe self-diagnostic results indicated by the MIL are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM
memories.
Always perform the procedure “HOW TO ERASE DTC” on AT-35 to complete the repair and avoid
unnecessary blinking of the MIL.
IThe following self-diagnostic items can be detected using ECM self-diagnostic results mode* only when
the O/D OFF indicator lamp does not indicate any malfunctions.
−PNP switch
−A/T 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gear function
−A/T TCC S/V function (lock-up)
*: For details of OBD-II, refer to EC-54, “Introduction”.
ICertain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use the new style slide-
locking type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer to EL-5, “Descrip-
tion”.

Special Service Tools
The actual shapes of Kent-Moore tools may differ from those of special service tools illustrated here.
The automatic transmission uses compact, dual planetary gear systems to improve power-transmission
efficiency, simplify construction and reduce weight.
It also employs an optimum shift control and superwide gear ratios. They improve starting performance and
acceleration during medium and high-speed operation.
Two one-way clutches are also employed: one is used for the forward clutch and the other for the low clutch.
These one-way clutches, combined with four accumulators, reduce shifting shock to a minimum.

Control Mechanism
LINE PRESSURE CONTROL
TCM has the 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
The line pressure to throttle opening characteristics is set for suitable clutch operation.
Back-up Control (Engine brake)
If the selector lever is shifted to “2” position while driving in D4(OD)
or D
, great driving force is applied to the clutch inside the trans-
3
mission. Clutch operating pressure (line pressure) must be
increased to deal with this driving force.
During Shift Change
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
IFluid viscosity and frictional characteristics of the clutch facing
change with fluid temperature. Clutch engaging or band-contacting pressure is compensated for, according to fluid
temperature, to stabilize shifting quality.
IThe 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.

OVERALL SYSTEM
ILine 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.
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.
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.

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 theshift valve overcomes spring force, moving the valve upward.
LOCK-UP CONTROL
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 oil pressure
signal which controls the torque converter clutch piston.
Conditions for Lock-up Operation
When vehicle is driven in 4th gear position, vehicle speed and
throttle opening are detected. If the detected values fall within the
lock-up zone memorized in the TCM, lock-up is performed.

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve Control
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

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 ofthe 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 theone-way clutchrotates idle.This means the
engine brake is not effective.
The overrun clutch operates when the engine brake is needed.

Overrun Clutch Solenoid Valve Control
NAAT0180S0402
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
NAAT0180S0403
When the solenoid valve is “ON”, pilot pressure A 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 A 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.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Introduction
EXIT
EXIT
Introduction
The A/T system has two self-diagnostic systems.
The first is the emission-related on board diagnostic system (OBD-II) performed by the TCM in combination
with the ECM. The malfunction is indicated by the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) 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 OBD-II self-diagnostic items. For detail,
refer to AT-50.
OBD-II Function for A/T System
The ECM provides emission-related on board diagnostic (OBD-II) 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 OBD-related part. The other function is to indicate a
diagnostic result by means of the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) on the instrument panel. Sensors, switches
and solenoid valves are used as sensing elements.
The MIL 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 OBD-II
ONE TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
If a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, the MIL 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
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 MIL will not illuminate. — First Trip
If the same malfunction as that experienced during the first test drive is sensed during the second test drive,
the MIL will illuminate. — Second Trip
A/T-related parts for which the MIL illuminates during the first or second test drive are listed below.

Freeze Frame Data and 1st Trip Freeze Frame Data
NAAT0016S0101
The ECM has a memory function, which stores the driving condition such as fuel system status, calculated
load value, engine coolant temperature, short term fuel trim, long term fuel trim, engine speed and vehicle
speed at the moment the ECM detects a malfunction.
Data which are stored in the ECM memory, along with the 1st trip DTC, are called 1st trip freeze frame data,
and the data, stored together with the DTC data, are called freeze frame data and displayed on CONSULT or
GST. The 1st trip freeze frame data can only be displayed on the CONSULT screen, not on the GST. For detail,
refer to EC-80, “CONSULT”.
Only one set of freeze frame data (either 1st trip freeze frame data of freeze frame data) can be stored in the
ECM. 1st trip freeze frame data is stored in the ECM memory along with the 1st trip DTC. There is no priority for 1st trip freeze frame data and it is updated each time a different 1st trip DTC is detected. However, once
freeze frame data (2nd trip detection/MIL on) is stored in the ECM memory, 1st trip freeze frame data is no
longer stored. Remember, only one set of freeze frame data can be stored in the ECM. The ECM has the following priorities to update the data.
Fuel Injection System Function — DTC: P0171 (0115), P0172 (0114), P0174 (0209), P0175

described following.
IIf the battery terminal is disconnected, the diagnostic trouble code will be lost within 24 hours.
IWhen you erase the DTC, using CONSULT or GST is easier and quicker than switching the mode
selector on the ECM.

CONSULT
After performing “SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITH CONSULT)” (AT-38), place check marks for results on the “DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET”, AT-55. Reference pages are provided following the items.
NOTICE:
1)The CONSULT electrically displays shift timing and lock-up
timing (that is, operation timing of each solenoid).
Check for time difference between actual shift timing and the
CONSULT display. If the difference is noticeable, mechanical
parts (except solenoids, sensors, etc.) may be malfunctioning.
Check mechanical parts using applicable diagnostic procedures.
2)Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on
CONSULT and that indicated in Service Manual may differ
slightly. This occurs because of the following reasons:
IActual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance,
IShift schedule indicated in Service Manual refers to the point
where shifts start, and
IGear position displayed on CONSULT indicates the point
where shifts are completed.
3)Shift solenoid valve “A” or “B” is displayed on CONSULT at the
start of shifting. Gear position is displayed upon completion of
shifting (which is computed by TCM).
4)Additional CONSULT information can be found in the Operation Manual supplied with the CONSULT unit.

SAT631IB
SAT632I
Introduction
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle speed sensor, throttle
position sensor or 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 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. Aroad
test with CONSULT (or GST) or a circuit tester connected should
be performed. Follow the “Work Flow”. Refer to AT-57.
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 whatconditions they occur.A“Diagnostic Worksheet”like the
example (AT-55) should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” problems first.
This willhelp troubleshoot driveability problems on an electronically
controlled engine vehicle.
Also check related Service bulletins.

HOW TO PERFORM TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR QUICK AND ACCURATE REPAIR
A good understanding of the malfunction conditions can make troubleshooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a problem. It is important to fully understand the symptoms
or conditions for a customer complaint.
Make good use of the two sheets provided, “INFORMATION FROM CUSTOMER” (AT-54) and “DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET” (AT-55), to perform the best troubleshooting possible.
1.Clean area suspected of leaking. — for example, mating surface of converter housing and transmission case.
2.Start engine, apply foot brake, place selector lever in “D” position and wait a few minutes.
3.Stop engine.
4.Check for fresh leakage.
