PRECAUTIONS
• Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal
before any repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid
valves, etc. will cause the MIL to light up.
• Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
• Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to a short circuit.
• Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EVAP system or fuel injection system, etc.
• Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
Service After Replacing TCM and Transaxle AssemblyINFOID:0000000001703427
SERVICE AFTER REPLACING TCM AND TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
Perform the applicable service in the following sheet when replacing TCM or transaxle assembly
CAUTION:
• Do not start the engine until the service is completed.
• “A/T C/U POWER SUPPLY [P1701]” may be indicated soon after replacing TCM or transaxle assem-
bly (after erasing the memory at the pattern B). Restart the self-diagnosis after erasing the self-diag-
nosis result. Check that no error is detected.
NOTE:
Old unit means that the unit has been already used for another vehicle.
PATTERN A
1. Shift the selector lever to “P” position after replacing TCM. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Check that the shift position indicator in the combination meter turns ON (It indicates approximately 1 or 2
seconds after turning the ignition switch ON.)
• Check the following items if the shift position indicator does not turn ON. Repair or replace the shift posi-
tion indicator if necessary.
- The harness between TCM and ROM ASSY in the transaxle assembly is open or short.
- Cable disconnected, loosen, or bent from the connector housing.
PATTERN B
1. Turn the ignition switch ON after replacing each part.
2. Start engine.
CAUTION:
Do not start the driving.
3. Touch CONSULT-III screen in the order of “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”, “TRANSMISSION”, “DATA
MONITOR”, and “MAIN SIGNALS”.
4. Warm up the transaxle assembly until “ATFTEMPCOUNT” indicates 47 [approximately 20°C (68°F)] or
more. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
5. Turn the ignition switch ON.
CAUTION:
Do not start engine.
6. Select “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”.
7. Shift the selector lever to “R” position.
8. Depress slightly the accelerator pedal (Pedal angle: 2/8) while depressing the brake pedal.
9. Perform “ERASE”.

•Before replacing TCM, perform TCM input/output signal
inspection and make sure whether TCM functions properly or
not. CVT-45, "
TCM Terminal and Reference Value".
•After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform “DTC
Confirmation Procedure”.
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-10, "
Flu-
ids and Lubricants".
• Use lint-free paper, not cloth rags, during work.
• After replacing the CVT fluid, dispose of the waste oil using the
methods prescribed by law, ordinance, etc.
Service Notice or PrecautionINFOID:0000000001703430
CVT FLUID COOLER SERVICE
If CVT fluid contains friction material (clutches, brakes, etc.), or if an CVT is replaced, inspect and clean the
CVT fluid cooler mounted in the radiator or replace the radiator. Flush cooler lines using cleaning solvent and
compressed air after repair. For CVT fluid cooler cleaning procedure, refer to CVT-14, "
CVT Fluid Cooler
Cleaning". For radiator replacement, refer to CO-11.
OBD-II 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 lamp (MIL). Refer to the table on CVT-47, "
CONSULT-III
Function (TRANSMISSION)" for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic result.
• The self-diagnostic results indicated by the MIL are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM memo-
ries.
Always perform the procedure on CVT-26, "
OBD-II Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)" to complete the
repair and avoid unnecessary blinking of the MIL.
For details of OBD-II, refer to EC-46
.
•Certain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use the new style slide-lock-
ing type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer to PG-65
.

Changing CVT FluidINFOID:0000000001703434
1. Warm up CVT fluid by driving the vehicle for 10 minutes.
• : Vehicle front
• Radiator (2)
• CVT fluid cooler hose [inlet side (3)]
• Transaxle assembly (4)
2. Drain CVT fluid from CVT fluid cooler hose [outlet side (1)] and
refill with new specified NISSAN CVT fluid in the CVT fluid
charging pipe with the engine running at idle speed.
CAUTION:
Only use the specified NISSAN CVT fluid.
3. Refill until new CVT fluid comes out from CVT fluid cooler hose [outlet side (1)].
NOTE:
About 30 to 50% extra fluid will be required for this procedure.
4. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-19, "
Checking CVT Fluid".
CAUTION:
Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-III after changing CVT fluid. Refer to CVT-47,
"CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)".
CVT Fluid Cooler CleaningINFOID:0000000001703435
Whenever a CVT is repaired, overhauled, or replaced, the CVT fluid cooler mounted in the radiator must be
inspected and cleaned.
Metal debris and friction material, if present, can be trapped or become deposit in the CVT fluid cooler. This
debris can contaminate the newly serviced CVT or, in severe cases, can block or restrict the flow of CVT fluid.
In either case, malfunction of the newly serviced CVT may occur.
Debris, if present, may deposit as CVT fluid enters the cooler inlet. It will be necessary to back flush the cooler
through the cooler outlet in order to flush out any built up debris.
CVT FLUID COOLER CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. Identify the CVT inlet and outlet fluid cooler hoses.
2. Position an oil pan under the inlet and outlet cooler hoses.

NOTE:
Replace the cooler hoses if rubber material from the hose
remains on the tube fitting.
4. Allow any CVT fluid that remains in the cooler hoses to drain into
the oil pan.
5. Insert the extension adapter hose of a can of Transmission
Cooler Cleaner (Nissan P/N 999MP-AM006) into the cooler out-
let hose.
CAUTION:
• Wear safety glasses and rubber gloves when spraying the
Transmission Cooler Cleaner.
• Spray Transmission Cooler Cleaner only with adequate
ventilation.
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
• Do not breath vapors or spray mist.
6. Hold the hose and can as high as possible and spray Transmis-
sion Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream into the cooler outlet
hose until CVT fluid flows out of the cooler inlet hose for 5 seconds.
7. Insert the tip of an air gun into the end of the cooler outlet hose.
8. Wrap a shop rag around the air gun tip and of the cooler outlet
hose.
9. Blow compressed air regulated to 5 to 9 kg/cm
2 (70 to 130 psi)
through the cooler outlet hose for 10 seconds to force out any
remaining CVT fluid.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 three additional times.
11. Position an oil pan under the banjo bolts that connect the CVT
fluid cooler steel lines to the transaxle.
12. Remove the banjo bolts.
13. Flush each steel line from the cooler side back toward the tran-
saxle by spraying Transmission Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream for 5 seconds.
14. Blow compressed air regulated to 5 to 9 kg/cm
2 (70 to 130 psi) through each steel line from the cooler
side back toward the transaxle for 10 seconds to force out any remaining CVT fluid.
15. Ensure all debris is removed from the steel cooler lines.
16. Ensure all debris is removed from the banjo bolts and fittings.
17. Perform "CVT FLUID COOLER DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE".
CVT FLUID COOLER DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Insufficient cleaning of the cooler inlet hose exterior may lead to inaccurate debris identification.
