turn signal NISSAN PRIMERA 1999 Electronic Repair Manual

IWhen connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from TCM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on TCM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
IBefore replacing TCM, perform TCM input/output signal
inspection and make sure whether TCM functions prop-
erly or not. (See page AT-41.)
IAfter performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
ªDTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCE-
DUREº.
The DTC should not be displayed in the ªDTC CONFIRMA-
TION PROCEDUREº if the repair is completed.
IIt is very important to perform functional tests whenever they
are indicated.
IExtreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings,
seals and gaskets when assembling.
IWhen the CVT drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is
drained. Old CVT fluid will remain in torque converter and CVT
fluid cooling system.
Always follow the procedures under ªChanging CVT Fluidº in
the MA section when changing CVT fluid.
Service Notice or PrecautionsNCAT0004FAIL-SAFENCAT0004S01The 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 even with a shift lever position of ªLº or ªDº. The customer may com-
plain of sluggish or poor acceleration.
When the ignition key is turned ªONº following Fail-Safe operation, CVT or SPORT indicator lamp blinks for
about 8 seconds. [For ªTCM SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (No Tools)º, refer to AT-25.]
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.

PRECAUTIONS
Precautions (Cont'd)
AT-6

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.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
(WITH CONSULT-II)
NCAT0022S021. Turn on CONSULT-II and touch ªENGINEº for OBD detected
items or touch ªCVTº for TCM self-diagnosis.
If CVT is not displayed, check TCM power supply and ground
circuit. Refer to AT-41. If result is NG, refer to EL section
(ªPOWER SUPPLY ROUTINGº).
2. Touch ªSELF DIAGNOSISº.
Display shows malfunction experienced since the last erasing
operation.
CONSULT-II performs REAL-TIME SELF-DIAGNOSIS.
Also, any malfunction detected while in this mode will be dis-
played at real time.
