REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to
CO-36, "Changing Engine Coolant".
CAUTION:
• Perform this step when engine is cold.
• Never spill engine coolant on drive belt.
2. Remove the air duct (inlet). Refer to EM-135, "
Component".
3. Remove the radiator hose (lower) from the engine. Refer to CO-40, "
Component".
4. Remove water inlet.
5. Remove thermostat.
6. Remove water pump, if necessary. Refer to CO-44
.
7. Remove thermostat housing, if necessary.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
• Place a thread (A) so that it is caught in the valves of thermostat (1). Immerse fully in a container (B) filled with water. Heat while
stirring.
• The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.
• Continue heating. Check the full-open valve lift amount. NOTE:
The full-open valve lift amount standard temperature for the ther-
mostat is the reference value.
• After checking the full-open valve lift amount, lower the water tem-
perature and check the valve closing temperature.

• When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from TCM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
When connecting pin connectors make sure that there are not
any bends or breaks on TCM pin terminal.
• Before replacing TCM, perform TCM input/output signal
inspection and make sure whether TCM functions properly or
not. CVT-46, "
TCM Terminal and Reference Value".
• After performing each TROUBL E 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 br and of CVT fluid. Refer to MA-14, "
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:0000000005397764
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-15, "
CVT Fluid Cooler
Cleaning". For radiator replacement, refer to CO-40.
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 indi cator lamp (MIL). Refer to the table on CVT-48, "
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-27, "
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-541, "
Introduction".
• Certain systems and components, especially those re lated to OBD, may use the new style slide-lock-
ing type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer to PG-66
.

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 specifi ed 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 CVT-14, "
Checking CVT Fluid".
CAUTION:
Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-III after changing CVT fluid. Refer to CVT-48,
"CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)".
CVT Fluid Cooler CleaningINFOID:0000000005397769
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 cool er 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.

3. Disconnect the fluid cooler inlet and outlet rubber hoses from the
steel cooler tubes.
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 (71 to 128 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 (71 to 128 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.
1. Position an oil pan under the transaxle's inlet and outlet cooler hoses.
2. Clean the exterior and tip of the cooler inlet hose.

Fluid Condition Check
Inspect the fluid condition.
STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
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 the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test. •It is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.

P0730 INCORRECT GEAR RATIO
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005397852
TCM selects the gear ratio using the engine load (throttle position), the primary pulley revolution speed, and
the secondary pulley revolution speed as input signal. T hen it changes the operating pressure of the primary
pulley and the secondary pulley and changes the groove width of the pulley.
CONSULT-III Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeINFOID:0000000005397853
Remarks: Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicINFOID:0000000005397854
• This is not an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.
• TCM calculates the actual gear ratio with primary speed sensor and secondary speed sensor.
• Diagnostic trouble code “P0730” with CONSULT-III is detected, when TCM receives an unexpected gear
ratio signal.
