2001 NISSAN ALMERA brake

1st through 3rd gears in ªDº position and engine brake func-
tions with overdrive control switch set to ªOFFº.
1st and 2nd gears in ª2º position and engine brake functions
with accelerator pedal released (fully closed throttle). ..... For-
ward clutch or forward one-way clutch slippage
Stall revolution is too high in R position:
+Engine brake does not function in ª1º position. ..... Low &
reverse brake slippage
+Engine brake functions in ª1º position. ..... Reverse clutch slip-
page
Stall revolution within specifications:
+Vehicle does not achieve speed of more than 80 km/h (50
MPH). ..... One-way clutch seizure in torque converter housing
CAUTION:
Be careful since automatic fluid temperature increases abnor-
mally.
+Slippage occurs in 3rd and 4th gears in ªDº position. ..... High
clutch slippage
+Slippage occurs in 2nd and 4th gear in ªDº position. ..... Brake
band slippage
+Engine brake does not function in 2nd and 3rd gears in ªDº
position, 2nd gear in ª2º position, and 1st gear in ª1º position
with overdrive control switch set to ªOFFº.
Stall revolution less than specifications:
+Poor acceleration during starts. ..... One-way clutch seizure in
torque converter

LINE PRESSURE TEST PROCEDURENJAT0027S021. Check A/T fluid and engine oil levels. If necessary, add fluid or
oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and ATF
reach operating temperature.
ATF operating temperature:
50 - 80ÉC (122 - 176ÉF)
UAT008
3. Install pressure gauge to corresponding line pressure port.
UAT008
4. Set parking brake and block wheels.
+Continue to depress brake pedal fully while line pressure
test is being performed at stall speed.
SAT493G
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-473.

JUDGEMENT OF LINE PRESSURE TESTNJAT0027S03
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
+Fluid pressure leakage between oil strainer and pressure regulator valve
+Clogged strainer
Line pressure is low in particular
position.+Fluid pressure leakage between manual valve and particular clutch
+For example, line pressure is:
þ Low in ªRº and ª1º positions, but
þ Normal in ªDº and ª2º positions.
Therefore, fluid leakage exists at or around low and reverse brake circuit.
Refer to ªCLUTCH AND BAND CHARTº, AT-23.
Line pressure is high.+Maladjustment of throttle position sensor
+A/T fluid temperature sensor damaged
+Line pressure solenoid valve sticking
+Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
+Pressure modifier valve sticking
+Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
+Open in dropping resistor circuit
At stall
speedLine pressure is low.+Maladjustment of throttle position sensor
+Line pressure solenoid valve sticking
+Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
+Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
+Pressure modifier valve sticking
+Pilot valve sticking

Road TestNJAT0028DESCRIPTIONNJAT0028S01+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
SAT496G
+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 the following items.
