Trouble Diagnosis: Consult-II: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
After performing "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (With Consult-II)" (Refer to "SELF-DIAG RESULT MODE "), place check marks for results on the "DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET ".
NOTICE:
- The Consult-II electrically displays shift timing and lock-up timing (that is, operation timing of each solenoid).
Check for time difference between actual shift timing and the Consult-II display. If the difference is noticeable, mechanical parts (except solenoids, sensors, etc.) may be malfunctioning. Check mechanical parts using applicable diagnostic procedures.
- Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on Consult-II and that indicated in Service Manual may differ slightly. This occurs because of the following reasons:
- Actual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance,
- Shift schedule indicated in Service Manual refers to the point where shifts start, and
- Gear position displayed on Consult-II indicates the point where shifts are completed.
- Display of solenoid valves on Consult-II changes at the start of shifting, while gear position is displayed upon completion of shifting (which is computed by TCM).
- Additional Consult-II information can be found in the Operation Manual supplied with the Consult-II unit.
