PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint S
ystem (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000006226734
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty 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 w hether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision that would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
 Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.
 Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
 When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)
with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly
causing serious injury.
 When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery, and wait at least 3 minu tes before performing any service.
General PrecautionsINFOID:0000000006226735
Turn ignition switch OFF an d disconnect the battery cable
from the negative terminal before connecting or disconnect-
ing the A/T assembly connector. Because battery voltage is
applied to TCM even if igniti on switch is turned OFF.
 Perform “DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE” after performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS.
If the repair is completed DTC should not be displayed in the
“DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE”.
 Always use the specified brand of ATF. Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids
and Lubricants".
 Use lint-free paper not cloth rags during work.
 Dispose of the waste oil using the methods prescribed by law, ordi-
nance, etc. after replacing the ATF.
 Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the transmission. 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 paper or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere
with the operation of the transmission.
 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 repl aced any time the A/T is disassembled.
 It is very important to perform func tional 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.
 Before 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. Never use grease.
 Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
 When the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the ATF is drained. Old ATF will remain in torque con- verter and ATF cooling system.
Always follow the procedures under “Changing” when changing ATF. Refer to TM-94, "
Changing".
 Occasionally, the parking gear may be locked with the to rque insufficiently released, when stopping the vehi-
cle by shifting the selector lever from “D” or “R” to “P” position with the brake pedal depressed.
In this case, the shock with a thud caused by the abrupt release of torque may occur when shifting the selec-
tor lever from “P” posit ion to other positions.
However, this symptom is not a malfunction which results in the damage of parts.
Service Notice or PrecautionINFOID:0000000006274263
ATF COOLER SERVICE
If ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc. ), or if an A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced,
inspect and clean the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiat or or replace the radiator. Flush cooler lines using
cleaning solvent and compressed air after repair. For A/T fluid cooler cleaning procedure, refer to TM-97,
"Cleaning". For radiator replacement, refer to CO-13, "Exploded View".

COMPONENT PARTS
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : TCM
INFOID:0000000006226740
 The TCM consists of a microcomputer and connectors for signal input and output and for power supply. The
TCM controls the A/T.
 The TCM is integral with the control valve assembly and built into the A/T assembly.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Tr ansmission Range SwitchINFOID:0000000006226741
 The transmission range switch incorpor ates four contact switches. Each contact switch transmits an ON/
OFF signal to the TCM.
 The TCM judges a select lever position from a comb ination of ON/OFF signals transmitted from each con-
tact switch.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Input Speed SensorINFOID:0000000006226742
The input speed sensor detects input shaft rpm (revolutions per minute). It is located on the input side of the A/
T. Monitors revolution of sensor 1 and sensor 2 for non-standard conditions.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Output Speed SensorINFOID:0000000006226743
The output speed sensor detects the revolution of t he parking gear and emits a pulse signal. The pulse signal
is transmitted to the TCM which converts it into vehicle speed.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : A/T Fluid Temperature SensorINFOID:0000000006226744
The A/T fluid temperature sensor detects the A/T fluid temperature and transmits a signal to the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Input Clutch Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226745
 The Input clutch solenoid valve is controlled by the TCM in response to signals transmitted from the trans-
mission range switch, output speed sensor and accelerato r pedal position sensor. Gears will then be shifted
to the optimum position.
 The Input clutch solenoid valve controls the input cl utch control valve in response to a signal transmitted
from the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Front Brake Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226746
 The front brake solenoid valve is controlled by the TC M in response to signals transmitted from the transmis-
sion range switch, output speed sensor and accelerator pedal position sensor. Gears will then be shifted to
the optimum position.
 The front brake solenoid valve controls the front brak e control valve in response to a signal transmitted from
the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Direc t Clutch Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226747
 The direct clutch solenoid valve is controlled by t he TCM in response to signals transmitted from the trans-
mission range switch, output speed sensor and accelerato r pedal position sensor. Gears will then be shifted
to the optimum position.
 The direct clutch solenoid valve controls the direct clutch control valve in response to a signal transmitted
from the TCM.
