Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL 

    With CONSULT-III 

    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Select "SELECTION FROM MENU" in "DATA MONITOR" mode for "TRANSMISSION" with CONSULT-III.
    3. Read out the value of "LUSEL SOL OUT".
    LUSEL SOL OUT DISPLAY VALUE

    Item name Condition Display value
    LUSEL SOL OUT Selector lever in "P" and "N" positions ON
    Wait at least for 5 seconds with the selector lever in "R" and "D" positions OFF

    Without CONSULT-III 

    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Check voltage between TCM connector terminal and ground.

    3. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    4. Disconnect the TCM connector.
    5. Check if there is continuity between connector terminal and ground.

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  5.

    NG: GO TO  2.

  2. CHECK LOCK-UP SELECT SOLENOID VALVE CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect TCM connector.
    3. Check resistance between TCM connector terminal and ground.

      OK or NG 

      OK: GO TO  4.

      NG: Replace the transaxle assembly. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".

    4. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TCM AND LOCK-UP SELECT SOLENOID VALVE 
      1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
      2. Disconnect TCM connector.
      3. Check continuity between TCM connector terminal and CVT unit harness connector terminal.

      4. If OK, check harness for short to ground and short to power.
      5. Reinstall any part removed.

      OK or NG 

      OK: GO TO  5.

      NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

    5. CHECK DTC 

      Perform "DTC Confirmation Procedure". Refer to "DTC Confirmation Procedure ".

      OK or NG 

      OK: INSPECTION END 

      NG: GO TO  6.

    6. CHECK TCM 
      1. Check TCM input/output signals. Refer to "TCM INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL REFERENCE VALUES ".
      2. If NG, re-check TCM pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.

      OK or NG 

      OK: INSPECTION END 

      NG:

      1. Repair or replace damaged parts.
      2. Replace TCM. Refer to "PRECAUTIONS FOR TCM AND CVT ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT ."
