PRECAUTIONS
Precaution
INFOID:0000000003849071
Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect negative battery
cable before connecting or disconnecting the TCM harness
connector. Because battery voltage is applied to TCM even if
ignition switch is turned OFF.
When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from TCM, do not damage pin terminals (bend or break).
Check that there are not any bends or breaks on TCM pin ter-
minal, when connecting pin connectors.
Perform TCM input/output signal inspection and check
whether TCM functions normally or not before replacing TCM.
TM-111, "
Reference Value".
Perform “DTC Confirmation Procedure” after performing each
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS.
If the repair is completed the DTC should not be displayed in
the “DTC Confirmation Procedure”.
 Always use the specified brand of CVT fluid. Refer to MA-11, "
Flu-
ids 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 CVT fluid.
Service Notice or PrecautionINFOID:0000000003849072
OBD SELF-DIAGNOSIS
 CVT self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. The results can be read through
the blinking pattern of the Malfunction Indicator (MI). Refer to the table on TM-37, "
CONSULT-III Function
(TRANSMISSION)" for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic result.
 The self-diagnostic results indicated by the MI are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM memories.

CVT FLUID
InspectionINFOID:0000000003849076
CHECKING CVT FLUID
The fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F). The fluid level check
procedure is as follows:
1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle in an urban area.
When ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F), it takes about 10
minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 to 80°C (122 to
176°F).
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
4. Apply parking brake firmly.
5. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move shift
selector throughout the entire shift range.
6. Pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charging
pipe after pressing the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to
release the lock.
7. Wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge. Insert the CVT fluid
level gauge rotating 180° from the originally installed position,
then securely push the CVT fluid level gauge until it meets the
top end of the CVT fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the CVT fluid level gauge, always use
lint-free paper, not a cloth rag.
8. Place the selector lever in “P” or “N” and check that the fluid
level is within the specified range.
CAUTION:
When reinstalling CVT fluid level gauge, insert it into the
CVT fluid charging pipe and rotate it to the original installa-
tion position until securely locked.

Check CVT fluid condition.
 If CVT fluid is very dark or smells burned, check operation of CVT.

 If CVT fluid contains frictional material (clutches, brakes, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent and
compressed air after repair of CVT. Refer to CO-13, "
Exploded

ChangingINFOID:0000000003849077
CAUTION:
Replace O-ring with new ones at the final stage of the operation when installing.
1. Remove drain plug from oil pan.
2. Remove drain plug gasket from drain plug.
3. Install drain plug gasket to drain plug.
CAUTION:
Never reuse drain plug gasket.
4. Install drain plug to oil pan.
5. Fill CVT fluid from CVT fluid charging pipe to the specified level.
CAUTION:
 Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2. Never mix with other fluid.
 Using CVT fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will deteriorate in driveability and
CVT durability, and may damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.
 When filling CVT fluid, take care not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust.
 Sufficiently shake the container of CVT fluid before using.
 Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-III after changing CVT fluid. Refer to TM-37,
"CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)".
6. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle in an urban area.
NOTE:
When ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F), it takes about 10 minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 to
80°C (122 to 176°F).
7. Check CVT fluid level and condition.
8. Repeat steps 1 to 5 if CVT fluid has been contaminated.

INSPECTION
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil. Replenish the engine oil if necessary.
2. Drive for about 10 minutes to warm up the vehicle so that the
CVT fluid temperature is 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F). Inspect the
amount of CVT fluid. Replenish if necessary.
3. Securely engage parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.
NOTE:
It is good practice to mark the point of specified engine rpm on
indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and move selector lever to “D”
position.
6. Gradually press down accelerator pedal while holding down the
foot brake.
7. Quickly read off the stall speed, and then quickly remove your
foot from accelerator pedal.
CAUTION:
Never hold down accelerator pedal for more than 5 seconds
during this test.
8. Move selector lever to “N” position.
9. Cool down the CVT fluid.
CAUTION:
Run the engine at idle for at least 1 minute.
10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 with selector lever in “R” position.

Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil and replenish if necessary.
2. Drive the car for about 10 minutes to warm it up so that the CVT fluid reaches in the range of 50 to 80°C
(122 to 176°F). Then inspect the amount of CVT fluid and replenish if necessary.
NOTE:
The CVT fluid temperature rises in the range of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) during 10 minutes of driv-
ing.
3. After warming up CVT, remove the oil pressure detection plug
and install the joint pipe adapter (SST: KV31103600), adapter
(SST: 25054000), oil pressure gauge set (commercial service
tool).
CAUTION:
When using the oil pressure gauge, be sure to use the O-
ring attached to the oil pressure detection plug.
4. Securely engage parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
5. Start the engine, and then measure the line pressure at both idle
and the stall speed.
CAUTION:
 Keep brake pedal pressed all the way down during mea-
surement.
 When measuring the line pressure at the stall speed.
Refer to TM-144, "
Inspection and Judgment".
6. Install oil pressure detection plug and tighten to the specified
torque below after the measurements are complete.
CAUTION:
 Never reuse O-ring.
 Apply CVT fluid to O-ring.

Judgment Possible cause
Idle speedLow for all positions
(“P”, “R”, “N”, “D”, “L”)Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and low oil pump output.
For example
 Oil pump wear
 Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking or spring fatigue
 Oil strainer ⇒ oil pump ⇒ pressure regulator valve passage oil leak
 Engine idle speed too low
Only low for a specific
positionPossible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position after
the pressure is distributed by the manual valve.
HighPossible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the line pressure adjustment
function.
For example
 Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
 CVT fluid temperature sensor malfunction
 Pressure control solenoid A (line pressure solenoid) malfunction (sticking in OFF state, filter
clog, cut line)
 Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
Sta ll sp ee dLine pressure does not
rise higher than the line
pressure for idle.Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the pressure adjustment func-
tion.
For example
 Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
TCM malfunction
 Pressure control solenoid A (line pressure solenoid) malfunction (shorting, sticking in ON
state)
 Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
The pressure rises, but
does not enter the
standard position.Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and malfunction in the pres-
sure adjustment function.
For example
 Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
 Pressure control solenoid A (line pressure solenoid) malfunction (sticking, filter clog)
 Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
