2000 NISSAN PATROL SOLENOID

Introduction
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle-speed sensor, accel-
erator position sensor or PNP switch and provides shift control
or lock-up control via solenoid valves.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the A/T system. The A/T system must be in good
operating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve
malfunction, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs inter-
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the problems. A
road test with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester connected should
be performed. Follow the ªWork Flowº. Refer to AT-1040.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The
customer can supply good information about such problems,
especially intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present
and under what conditions they occur. A ªDiagnostic Worksheetº
like the example (AT-1038) should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for ªconventionalº problems first.
This will help troubleshoot driveability problems on an electroni-
cally controlled engine vehicle.

test is being performed at stall speed.
5. Start engine and measure line pressure at idle and stall
speed.
+When measuring line pressure at stall speed, follow the
stall test procedure.
Line pressure:
Refer to SDS, AT-1207.
JUDGEMENT OF LINE PRESSURE TEST
Judgement Suspected parts
At idleLine pressure is low in all
positions.+Oil pump wear
+Control piston damage
+Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
+Spring for pressure regulator valve damaged
+A/T fluid pressure leakage between oil strainer and pressure regulator valve
