Diagnostic Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Infiniti QX4, 2001 Nissan Pathfinder, and 2001 Infiniti QX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Start engine. Using DVOM set to AC range, measure voltage (backprobe) between TCM harness connector terminal No. 38 and ground. Voltage should be about 1.2 volts. Voltage increases gradually in response to engine speed. If voltage is not as specified, check for continuity in wiring harness between TCM and turbine revolution sensor. Inspect ground circuit.
