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.
- Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect transmission terminal cord assembly 8-pin connector located on right side of transmission. See COMPONENT LOCATIONS . Measure resistance between transmission terminal cord assembly 8-pin connector terminals No. 8 and 9 when transmission fluid is cold 68°F (20°C). Resistance should be about 2500 ohms. If resistance is as specified, go to next step. If resistance is not as specified, see TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR under COMPONENT TESTS.
- Start engine. Measure voltage (backprobe) between TCM harness connector terminal No. 47 and ground while warming up transmission. Voltage should measure about 1.5 volts when ATF is cold (68°F (20°C) and .5 volt when hot (176°F (80°C). If voltage is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, perform TCM input/output signal inspection. See PIN VOLTAGE TESTS . Repair as necessary.
- Road test and perform DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE . If DTC is still present, recheck applicable TCM input/output signals. See PIN VOLTAGE TESTS . If any voltage measured is not as specified, check connector pin terminals for damage or loose connection to harness connector. Repair as necessary.
