lug pattern INFINITI QX4 2001 Factory Service Manual

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 ªATF COOLER SERVICEº,
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-21, ªChanging A/T Fluidº.
Service Notice or PrecautionsNBAT0004FAIL-SAFENBAT0004S01The 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 ª1º, ª2º or ªDº. The
customer may complain of sluggish or poor acceleration.
When the ignition key is turned ªONº following Fail-Safe operation, O/D OFF indicator lamp blinks for about
8 seconds. (For ªTCM SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (No Tools)º, 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
ªOFFº for 5 seconds, then ªONº.
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 ªWORK FLOWº (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 SERVICENBAT0004S04The 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 Ð 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.
