OVERALL SYSTEM
l*1: Operates when overdrive control switch is set in “OFF” position.
l*2: Oil pressure is applied to both 2nd “apply” side and 3rd “release” side of band servo piston. However, brake band does not con-
tract because oil pressure area on the “release” side is greater than that on the “apply” side.
l*3: Oil pressure is applied to 4th “apply” side in condition *2 above, and brake band contracts.
l*4: A/T will not shift to 4th when overdrive control switch is set in “OFF” position.
l*5: Operates when overdrive control switch is “OFF”.
l:Operates.
lA: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, activating engine brake.
lB: Operates during “progressive” acceleration.
lC: Operates but does not affect power transmission.
lD: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, but does not affect engine brake.

OVERALL SYSTEM
At Low Fluid Temperature
lFluid viscosity and frictional characteristics of the clutch facing change with fluid temperature. Clutch
engaging or band-contacting pressure is compensated for, according to fluid temperature, to stabilize
shifting quality.
lThe line pressure is reduced below 60°C(140°F) to prevent
shifting shock due to low viscosity of automatic transmission
fluid when temperature is low.
lLine pressure is increased to a maximum irrespective of the
throttle opening when fluid temperature drops to-10°C(14°F).
This pressure rise is adopted to prevent a delay in clutch and
brake operation due to extreme drop of fluid viscosity at low
temperature.
SHIFT CONTROL
The shift is regulated entirely by electronic control to accommodate vehicle speed and varying engine opera-
tions. This is accomplished by electrical signals transmitted by the revolution sensor and throttle position sen-
sor. This results in improved acceleration performance and fuel economy.
Control of Shift Solenoid Valves A and B
The TCM activates shift solenoid valves A and B according to sig-
nals from the throttle position sensor and revolution sensor to select
the optimum gear position on the basis of the shift schedule memo-
rizedintheTCM.
The shift solenoid valve performs simple ON-OFF operation. When
set to “ON”, the drain circuit closes and pilot pressure is applied to
the shift valve.

TRANSMISSION DATA AND TRANSMISSION ORDER
Amplifier data is transmitted consecutively to each of the door motors following the form shown in figure below.
Start: Initial compulsory signal sent to each of the door motors.
Address: Data sent from the auto amplifier is selected according to data-based decisions made by the air mix
door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor.
If the addresses are identical, the opening angle data and error check signals are received by the door motor
LCUs. The LCUs then make the appropriate error decision. If the opening angle data is normal, door control
begins.
If an error exists, the received data is rejected and corrected data received. Finally, door control is based upon
the corrected opening angle data.
Opening angle:
Data that shows the indicated door opening angle of each door motor.
Error check:
Procedure by which sent and received data is checked for errors. Error data is then compiled. The error check
prevents corrupted data from being used by the air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor.
Error data can be related to the following problems.
lAbnormal electrical frequency
lPoor electrical connections
lSignal leakage from transmission lines
lSignal level fluctuation
Stop signal:
At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal problem message is delivered to
the auto amplifier. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.
AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL (AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL)
The air mix door is automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature is maintained at a predetermined
value by: The temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature and amount of sunload.

PRECAUTIONS
General Precautions
EAS000FQ
lDo not operate the engine for an extended period of time without
proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any inflammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any
inflammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refriger-
ant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be
sure to properly ventilate the area before working with hazard-
ous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
lBefore jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting before working
on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
lWhen removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-
saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
lBefore starting repairs which do not require battery power:
Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
lIf the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.
lTo prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
lDispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in
an appropriate manner.
lDo not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.
lClean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.
lReplace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new
ones.
lReplace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
lArrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
lDo not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
lAfter disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.

CAUTION:
lAll applicable local laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
lIt is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during
towing operation. Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.
lAlways attach safety chains before towing.
lWhen towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and power train are in good order.
If any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.
lNever tow an automatic transmission model from the rear (that is backward) with four wheels on
the ground. This may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
NISSAN recommends that towing dollies be used when towing your
vehicle beplaced on a flat bed truck as illustrated.
TOWING AN AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE MODEL WITH FOUR WHEELS ON GROUND
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.
CAUTION:
Never tow an automatic transaxle model from the rear (i.e., backward) with four wheels on the ground
as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transaxle.
