Diagnostic Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Nissan Pathfinder. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CHECK VALVE RESISTANCE
- Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position.
- Disconnect terminal cord assembly connector on the right side of transfer assembly.
- Check resistance between terminal 6 and ground.
Is resistance approx. 2.5 - 5Ω?
- Yes: GO TO 3.
- No: GO TO 2.
- CHECK VALVE OPERATION
- Remove control valve assembly.
Refer to ON VEHICLE SERVICE .
- Check the following items:
- Line pressure solenoid valve
Refer to "Component Inspection ".
- Harness of terminal cord assembly for short or open
- Line pressure solenoid valve
OK or NG
- OK: GO TO 3.
- NG: Repair or replace damaged parts.
- Remove control valve assembly.
- CHECK POWER SOURCE AND DROPPING RESISTOR CIRCUIT
- Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position.
- Disconnect TCM harness connector.
- Check resistance between sub-harness connector B64 terminal 6 and TCM harness connector M119 terminal 2.
Is resistance approx. 11.2 - 12.8Ω?
- Yes: GO TO 5.
- No: GO TO 4.
- DETECT MALFUNCTIONING ITEM
Check the following items:
- Dropping resistor
Refer to "Component Inspection ".
- Harness for short or open between TCM harness connector M119 terminal 2 and terminal cord assembly (Main harness)
OK or NG
- OK: GO TO 5.
- NG: Repair or replace damaged parts.
- Dropping resistor
- CHECK POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT
- Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position.
- Check continuity between terminal 6 and TCM harness connector M119 terminal 1. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM - AT - LPSV .
Continuity should exist.
If OK, check harness for short to ground or to power.
- Reinstall any part removed.
- Yes: GO TO 6.
- No: Repair or replace harness between TCM terminal 1 and terminal cord assembly.
- CHECK DTC
Perform DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE , .
OK or NG
- OK: INSPECTION END
- NG: GO TO 7.
- CHECK TCM INSPECTION
- Perform TCM input/output signal inspection.
- If NG, recheck TCM pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.
OK or NG
- OK: INSPECTION END
- NG: Repair or replace damaged parts.
