Precautions for TCM and CVT Assembly ReplacementBCS001FR
When replacing CVT assembly or TCM, refer to the pattern table below and erase the EEPROM in the TCM if
necessary.
CAUTION:

Check if new data (Unit ID) are entered correctly after replacing CVT assembly and erasing data in
TCM. (Connect CONSULT-II, and then turn ignition switch OFF.)

“TCM POWER SUPPLY [P1701]” may be indicated soon after replacing TCM or transaxle assembly
(after erasing the memory). Restart the self-diagnosis after erasing the self-diagnosis result.
Check that no error is detected.
EEPROM ERASING PATTERNS
METHOD FOR ERASING THE EEPROM IN THE TCM
1. Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector. Refer to CVT-45, "CONSULT-II SETTING PROCEDURE" .
2. Turn ignition switch ON. Confirm that CONSULT-II is turned ON.
3. Move selector lever to “R” position.
4. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)” on CONSULT-II.
5. Select “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” mode for “TRANSMISSION” with CONSULT-II.
6. Press the brake pedal and turn the brake switch ON.
7. Press the accelerator pedal (0.5/8 - 4/8 throttle) not to exceed the half, and hold it in the half or less open
position. (This will set the closed throttle position signal to OFF and the wide open throttle position signal
to OFF.)
8. Touch “ERASE” on CONSULT-II, and then touch “YES”.
9. Wait 3 seconds and then release the accelerator pedal.
10. Turn ignition switch OFF.
METHOD FOR WRITING DATA FROM THE ROM ASSEMBLY IN THE TRANSAXLE
In the following procedure, the TCM reads data from the ROM assembly and writes it to the EEPROM in the
TCM.
1. Erase the EEPROM in the TCM.
2. Move selector lever to “P” position.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK METHOD

Standard: About 2 seconds after the ignition switch ON, the CVT indicator lamp lights up for 2 seconds.

Non-standard: Even after the ignition switch ON, the CVT indicator lamp does not light up after 2 seconds
or illuminates immediately.
CAUTION:
Perform in the “P” or “N” position.
Action for Non-standard

Replace the CVT assembly.

Replace the TCM.
CVT assembly TCM Erasing EEPROM in TCM Remarks
Replaced Replaced Not requiredNot required because the EEPROM in the TCM is in
the default state. (CVT assembly must be replaced
first.)
Not replaced Replaced Not requiredNot required because the EEPROM in the TCM is in
the default state.
Replaced Not replaced RequiredRequired because data has been written in the
EEPROM in the TCM and because the TCM cannot
write data from the ROM assembly in the transmis-
sion.

CAN CommunicationBCS001G3
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details, refer to LAN-49,
"CAN System Specification Chart" .

NOTE:
The gear ratio is set for every position separately.
“D” POSITION
Shifting over all the ranges of gear ratios from the lowest to the high-
est.
“M” POSITION
When the selector lever is put in the manual shift gate side, the fixed
changing gear line is set. By moving the selector lever to + side or -
side, the manual mode switch is changed over, and shift change like
M/T becomes possible following the changing gear set line step by
step.
DOWNHILL ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL (AUTO ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL)
When downhill is detected with the accelerator pedal released, the engine brake will be strengthened up by
downshifting so as not to accelerate the vehicle more than necessary.
ACCELERATION CONTROL
According to vehicle speed and a change of accelerator pedal angle, driver's request for acceleration and driv-
ing scene are judged. This function assists improvement in acceleration feeling by making the engine speed
proportionate to the vehicle speed. And a shift map which can gain a larger driving force is available for com-
patibility of mileage with drivability.
Lock-up and Select ControlBCS001G7

The torque converter clutch piston in the torque converter is engaged to eliminate torque converter slip to
increase power transmission efficiency.

The torque converter clutch control valve operation is controlled by the torque converter clutch solenoid
valve, which is controlled by a signal from TCM. The torque converter clutch control valve engages or
releases the torque converter clutch piston.

When shifting between “N” (“P”) ⇔ “D” (“R”), torque converter clutch solenoid controls engagement power
of forward clutch and reverse brake.

The lock-up applied gear range was expanded by locking up the
torque converter at a lower vehicle speed than conventional
CVT models.

Step Motor
If an unexpected signal is sent from the step motor to the TCM, the step motor coil phases “A” through “D” are
all turned OFF to hold the gear ratio used right before the non-standard condition occurred.
CVT Lock-up Select Solenoid
If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid to the TCM, the CVT lock-up select solenoid is turned OFF to
cancel the lock-up.
TCM Power Supply (Memory Back-up)
Transaxle assembly is protected by limiting the engine torque when the memory back-up power supply (for
controlling) from the battery is not supplied to TCM. Normal statues is restored when turning the ignition switch
OFF to ON after the normal power supply.
How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate RepairBCS001GG
INTRODUCTION
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle speed sensor, PNP
switch and provides shift control or lock-up control via CVT solenoid
valves.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the CVT system. The CVT system must be in good
operating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve mal-
function, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose an error that occurs intermit-
tently rather than continuously. Most intermittent errors 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 errors. A road test
with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester connected should be performed.
Follow the CVT-26, "
WORK FLOW" .
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with a
customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such errors, especially
intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and under
what conditions they occur. A “DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET” as
shown on the example (Refer to CVT-27
) should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” errors first. This will
help troubleshoot driveability errors on an electronically controlled
engine vehicle.
Also check related Service bulletins.
