2000 NISSAN PATROL check engine

Road Test
DESCRIPTION
+The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance
of A/T and analyze causes of problems.
+The road test consists of the following three parts:
1. Check before engine is started
2. Check at idle
3. Cruise test
+Before road test, familiarize yourself with all test procedures
and items to check.
+Conduct tests on all items until specified symptom is found.
Troubleshoot items which check out No Good after road test.
Refer to ªON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIP-
TIONº and ªDIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES FOR
SYMPTOMSº, AT-1028 - AT-1034 and AT-1097 - AT-1115.

Vehicle Speed SensorzA/T (Revolution
sensor)
DESCRIPTION
The revolution sensor detects the revolution of the out put shaft
parking pawl lock gear and emits a pulse signal. The pulse sig-
nal is sent to the TCM which converts it into vehicle speed.
ON BOARD DIAGNOSIS LOGIC
Diagnostic trouble code Malfunction is detected when ...Check items
(Possible cause)
: VHCL SPEED SENzA/T
TCM does not receive the proper volt-
age signal from the sensor.+Harness or connectors
(The sensor circuit is open or
shorted.)
+Revolution sensor
: 1st judgement flicker
SELF-DIAGNOSIS CODE CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the
malfunction is eliminated.
1) Start engine.
2) Select ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº mode for A/T with
CONSULT-II.
3) Drive vehicle under the following conditions:
Selector lever in ªDº position, vehicle speed higher
than 30 km/h (19 MPH), throttle opening greater than
1/8 of the full throttle position and driving for more than
