ESP NISSAN TERRANO 2002 Service Repair Manual

FOREWORD
This manual contains maintenance and repair procedures for NISSAN
TERRANO, model R20 series.
In order to assure your safety and the efficient functioning of the vehicle,
this manual should be read thoroughly. It is especially important that the
PRECAUTIONS in the GI section be completely understood before starting
any repair task.
All information in this manual is based on the latest product information
at the time of publication. The right is reserved to make changes in speci-
fications and methods at any time without notice.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The proper performance of service is essential for both the safety of the
technician and the efficient functioning of the vehicle.
The service methods in this Service Manual are described in such a man-
ner that the service may be performed safely and accurately.
Service varies with the procedures used, the skills of the technician and the
tools and parts available. Accordingly, anyone using service procedures,
tools or parts which are not specifically recommended by NISSAN must
first completely satisfy himself that neither his safety nor the vehicle's
safety will be jeopardized by the service method selected.

TCM FUNCTION
The function of the TCM is to:
IReceive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
IDetermine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.
ISend required output signals to the respective solenoids.
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCM
Sensors and solenoid valves Function
InputPark/neutral position switch Detects select lever position and sends a signal to TCM.
Throttle (accelerator) 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.
A/T fluid temperature sensor Detects transmission fluid temperature and sends a signal to TCM.
Revolution sensor Detects output shaft rpm and sends a signal to TCM.
Vehicle speed sensorUsed as an auxiliary vehicle speed sensor. Sends a signal when revolution sen-
sor (installed on transmission) malfunctions.
Overdrive control switch
A/T mode switchSends a signal, which prohibits a shift to ªD
4º (overdrive) position, to the TCM.
OutputShift solenoid valve A/BSelects shifting point suited to driving conditions in relation to a signal sent from
TCM.
Line pressure solenoid valveRegulates (or decreases) line pressure suited to driving conditions in relation to
a signal sent from TCM.
Torque converter clutch solenoid valveRegulates (or decreases) lock-up pressure suited to driving conditions in relation
to a signal sent from TCM.
Overrun clutch solenoid valveControls an ªengine brakeº effect suited to driving conditions in relation to a sig-
nal sent from TCM.

Introduction
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle-speed sensor, throttle
(accelerator) position sensor or park/neutral position switch and
provides shift control or lock-up control via solenoid valves.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the A/T system. The A/T system must be in good
operating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve
malfunction, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs intermit-
tently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the problems. A road
test with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester connected should be per-
formed. Follow the ªWork Flowº. Refer to AT-26.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such problems, especially
intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and under
what conditions they occur. A ªDiagnostic Worksheetº like the
example (AT-24) should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for ªconventionalº problems first.
This will help troubleshoot driveability problems on an electronically
controlled engine vehicle.

LINE PRESSURE TEST PROCEDURE
1. Check A/T and engine fluid levels. If necessary, add fluid.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and ATF
reach operating temperature.
ATF operating temperature:
