TCM FUNCTION=NCAT0014S03The function of the TCM is to:
IReceive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
IDetermine required line pressure, shifting point and lock-up operation.
ISend required output signals to the step motor and the respective solenoids.
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCMNCAT0014S04
Sensors and actuators Function
InputPNP switch Detects select lever position and sends a signal to TCM.
Throttle position sensor Detects throttle valve position and sends a signal to TCM.
Closed throttle position switch Detects throttle valve's fully-closed position and sends a signal to TCM.
Wide open throttle position switchDetects a throttle valve position of greater than 1/2 of full throttle and
sends a signal to TCM.
Engine speed signal From ECM.
CVT fluid temperature sensor Detects transmission fluid temperature and sends a signal to TCM.
CVT fluid pressure sensor Detects transmission fluid pressure and sends a signal to TCM.
Primary speed sensor Detects primary pulley rpm and sends a signal to TCM.
Secondary speed sensor Detects secondary pulley rpm and sends a signal to TCM.
Stop lamp switchSends a signal to the TCM relaying the operation condition of the brake
pedal.
Sport mode switchSends a signal to the TCM relaying the operation condition of the sport
mode switch.
Indicator control unit*1Sends a signal to the TCM operation condition of the manual mode switch
in control device.
ABS control unit Sends a signal to the TCM operation condition of the ABS.
OutputStep motor Regulates pulley position in relation to a signal sent from TCM.
Line pressure solenoid valveRegulates (or decreases) line pressure suited to driving conditions in rela-

Torque converter clutch solenoid
valveRegulates (or decreases) lock-up pressure suited to driving conditions in
relation to a signal sent from TCM.
CVT indicator (warning) lamp*2 Shows TCM faults, when CVT control components malfunction.
SPORT indicator lamp*3 Shows the operation condition of the SPORT mode switch. *3
Indicator control unit *1Receives the information of gear position on manual mode from TCM, and
sends a signal to indicator.

IntroductionNCAT0017The CVT system has two self-diagnostic systems.
The first is the emission-related on board diagnostic system (OBD) performed by the TCM in combination with
the ECM. The malfunction is indicated by the MI (malfunction indicator) 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 CVT indicator (warning) lamp or SPORT indi-
cator lamp. The malfunction is stored in the TCM memory. The detected items are overlapped with OBD self-
diagnostic items. For detail, refer to AT-26.
OBD Function for CVT SystemNCAT0018The ECM provides emission-related on board diagnostic (OBD) functions for the CVT system. One function
is to receive a signal from the TCM used with OBD-related parts of the CVT 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 MI (malfunction indicator) on the instrument panel. Sensors, switches and
solenoid valves are used as sensing elements.
The MI automatically illuminates in Two Trip Detection Logic when a malfunction is sensed in relation to CVT
system parts.
OBD Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)NCAT0020HOW TO READ DTC AND 1ST TRIP DTCNCAT0020S01DTC and 1st trip DTC can be read by the following methods.
1.(
No Tools)The number of blinks of the malfunction indicator in the Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-Di-
agnostic Results) Examples: 0705, 0710, 0715, 0720, etc. For details, refer to EC section [ªMalfunction
Indicator (MI)º, ªON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONº].
These DTCs are controlled by NISSAN.
2.(
with CONSULT-II orGST)CONSULT-II or GST (Generic Scan Tool) Examples: P0705, P0710,
P0720, P0725, etc.
These DTCs are prescribed by ISO15031-6.
(CONSULT-II also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)
I1st trip DTC No. is the same as DTC No.
IOutput of the diagnostic trouble code indicates that the indicated circuit has a malfunction.
However, in case of the Mode II and GST they do not indicate whether the malfunction is still
occurring or occurred in the past and returned to normal.
CONSULT-II can identify them as shown below. Therefore, using CONSULT-II (if available) is rec-
ommended.
A sample of CONSULT-II display for DTC is shown at left. DTC or 1st trip DTC of a malfunction is displayed
in SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS mode for ªENGINEº with CONSULT-II. Time data indicates how many times
the vehicle was driven after the last detection of a DTC.
If the DTC is being detected currently, the time data will be ª0º.
