A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
FUNCTION OF PRESSURE SWITCH
Pilot valve AAdjusts the line pressure and produces the constant pressure (pilot pressure) required
for line pressure control, shift change control, and lock-up control.
Pilot valve BAdjusts the line pressure and produces the constant pressure (pilot pressure) required
for shift change control.
Low coast brake switching valve During engine braking, supplies the line pressure to the low coast brake reducing valve.
Low coast brake reducing valveWhen the low coast brake is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure
(low coast brake pressure) and supplies it to the low coast brake.
N-R accumulator Produces the stabilizing pressure for when N-R is selected.
Direct clutch piston switching valve Operates in 4th gear and switches the direct clutch coupling capacity.
High and low reverse clutch control valveWhen the high and low reverse clutch is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the opti-
mum pressure (high and low reverse clutch pressure) and supplies it to the high and low
reverse clutch. (In 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th gears, adjusts the clutch pressure.)
Input clutch control valveWhen the input clutch is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure (in-
put clutch pressure) and supplies it to the input clutch. (In 4th and 5th gears, adjusts the
clutch pressure.)
Direct clutch control valveWhen the direct clutch is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure (di-
rect clutch pressure) and supplies it to the direct clutch. (In 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears, ad-
justs the clutch pressure.)
TCC control valve
TCC control plug
TCC control sleeveSwitches the lock-up to operating or released. Also, by performing the lock-up operation
transiently, lock-up smoothly.
Torque converter lubrication valveOperates during lock-up to switch the torque converter, cooling, and lubrication system
oil path.
Cool bypass valve Allows excess oil to bypass cooler circuit without being fed into it.
Line pressure relief valve Discharges excess oil from line pressure circuit.
N-D accumulator Produces the stabilizing pressure for when N-D is selected.
Manual valveSends line pressure to each circuit according to the select position. The circuits to which
the line pressure is not sent drain. Name Function
Name Function
Pressure switch 1 (FR/B)Detects any malfunction in the front brake hydraulic pressure. When it detects any mal-
function, it puts the system into fail-safe mode.
Pressure switch 2 (LC/B)Detects any malfunction in the low coast brake hydraulic pressure. When it detects any
malfunction, it puts the system into fail-safe mode.
Pressure switch 3 (I/C)Detects any malfunction in the input clutch hydraulic pressure. When it detects any mal-
function, it puts the system into fail-safe mode.
Pressure switch 5 (D/C)Detects any malfunction in the direct clutch hydraulic pressure. When it detects any mal-
function, it puts the system into fail-safe mode.
Pressure switch 6 (HLR/C)Detects any malfunction in the high and low reverse clutch hydraulic pressure. When it
detects any malfunction, it puts the system into fail-safe mode.

PRECAUTIONS
PrecautionINFOID:0000000003532631
• When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with the
tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immediately.
• Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The spare
tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
• After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
• Lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new lock nuts for installation. New lock nuts are pre-oiled, do not
apply any additional lubrication.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000003532652
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
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 must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SRS section.
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.

• Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The spare
tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
• After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
• Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new caulking nuts for installation. New caulking nuts are pre-
oiled, do not apply any additional lubrication.
