Diagnostic Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CHECK INPUT SIGNAL
With CONSULT-II
- Start engine.
- Select "MAIN SIGNALS" in "DATA MONITOR" mode for "TRANSMISSION" with CONSULT-II.
- Read out the value of "ISOLT2".
ISOLT2 DISPLAY VALUEItem name Condition Display value (Approx.) ISOLT2 Release your foot from the accelerator pedal. 0.8 A Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. 0.0 A Without CONSULT-II
- Start engine.
- Check voltage between TCM connector terminal and ground.VOLTAGE REFERENCE CHART
Name Connector Terminal Condition Voltage (Approx.) Pressure control solenoid valve A (Line pressure solenoid valve) F56 1 - ground Release your foot from the accelerator pedal. 5.0 - 7.0 V Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. 1.0 - 3.0 V - Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect TCM connector.
- Check if there is continuity between connector terminal and ground.
OK or NG
OK: GO TO 5.
NG: GO TO 2.
- CHECK PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE A (LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE) CIRCUIT
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect TCM connector.
- Check resistance between TCM connector terminal and ground.
PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE A (LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE) CIRCUITSolenoid valve Connector Terminal Resistance (Approx.) Pressure control solenoid valve A (Line pressure solenoid valve) F56 1 - ground 3.0 - 9.0 Ω Courtesy of NISSAN MOTOR CO., U.S.A.
OK or NG
OK: GO TO 5.
NG: GO TO 3.
- CHECK VALVE RESISTANCE
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect CVT unit harness connector.
- Check resistance between CVT unit harness connector terminal and ground.VALVE RESISTANCE
Solenoid valve Connector Terminal Resistance (Approx.) Pressure control solenoid valve A (Line pressure solenoid valve) F30 2 - Ground 3.0 - 9.0 Ω
OK or NG
OK: GO TO 4.
NG: Replace the transaxle assembly. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".
- CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TCM AND PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE A (LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE)
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect CVT unit harness connector and TCM connector.
- Check continuity between TCM connector terminal and CVT unit harness connector terminal.TCM AND PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE A (LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE)
Item Connector Terminal Continuity TCM F56 1 Yes CVT unit harness connector F30 2 - If OK, check harness for short to ground and short to power.
- If OK, check continuity between ground and CVT assembly.
- 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.
- CHECK DTC
Perform "DTC Confirmation Procedure". Refer to "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE ".
OK or NG
OK: INSPECTION END
NG: GO TO 6.
- CHECK TCM
- Check TCM input/output signals. Refer to "TCM INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL REFERENCE VALUES ".
- If NG, re-check TCM pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.
OK or NG
OK: INSPECTION END
NG:
- Repair or replace damaged parts.
- Replace the transaxle assembly. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".
