oil temperature NISSAN ALMERA 2001 Service Manual

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 ªONº, pilot pressure applied to the end face
of the shift valve overcomes spring force, moving the valve upward.
LOCK-UP CONTROLNJAT0015S03The 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 pres-
sure signal which controls the torque converter clutch piston.
Conditions for Lock-up OperationNJAT0015S0301When 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.
Overdrive control switch ON OFF
Selector lever ªDº position
Gear position D
4D3
Vehicle speed sensor More than set value
Throttle position sensor Less than set opening
Closed throttle position switch OFF
A/T fluid temperature sensor More than 40ÉC (104ÉF)
SAT010J
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve ControlNJAT0015S0302The torque converter clutch solenoid valve is controlled by the
TCM. The plunger closes the drain circuit during the ªOFFº period,
and opens the circuit during the ªONº 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.

JUDGEMENT OF LINE PRESSURE TESTNJAT0027S03
Judgement Suspected parts
At idleLine 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:
þ Low in ªRº and ª1º positions, but
þ Normal in ªDº and ª2º positions.
Therefore, fluid leakage exists at or around low and reverse brake circuit.
Refer to ªCLUTCH AND BAND CHARTº, AT-23.
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
At stall

+Line pressure solenoid valve sticking
+Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
+Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
+Pressure modifier valve sticking
+Pilot valve sticking

Road TestNJAT0028DESCRIPTIONNJAT0028S01+The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of
A/T and analyze causes of problems.
+The road test consists of the following three parts:
1. Check before engine is started
2. Check at idle
3. Cruise test
SAT496G
+Before road test, familiarize yourself with all test procedures
and items to check.
+Conduct tests on all items until specified symptom is found.
Troubleshoot items which check out No Good after road test.
