Active TestBFS000E5
CAUTION:

Do not perform active test while driving vehicle.

Make sure to completely bleed air from brake system.

Active test cannot be performed while ABS warning lamp is turned on due to the ABS malfunction-
ing.

ABS and brake warning lamps are on during active test.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Preform “CONSULT-II Starting Procedure”. Refer to GI-34, "CONSULT-II Start Procedure" .
2. Touch “ACTIVE TEST” in order on the CONSULT-II screen.
CAUTION:
When “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)” is touched immediately after starting engine or turning on
ignition switch, “ABS” might not be displayed in the system selection screen. In this case, repeat
the operation from step 1.
3. The “SELECT TEST ITEM” is displayed.
4. Touch necessary test item.
5. While “MAIN SIGNALS” indication is inverted, touch “START”.
6. “ACTIVE TEST” screen will be displayed, so perform the following test.

Solenoid valve

ABS motor
NOTE:

When active test is performed while depressing the pedal, the pedal depression amount will change.
This is normal.

“TEST IS STOPPED” is displayed 10 seconds after operation start.

After “TEST IS STOPPED” is displayed, to perform test again, touch “BACK” and repeat step 3.

CAUTION:
When installing radiator cap, thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue
or foreign material.
Checking RadiatorBBS005A6
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.

Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.

When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator
shroud and horns. Then tape harness and connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surface once per minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from radiator.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downward.

Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm2 , 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30
cm (11.8 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per minute until no water sprays out.

Remove any dirt and foreign materials completely from the
back and the mounting surfaces of timing chain tensioner (pri-
mary).
f. Pull out stopper pin after installing, and then release plunger.
g. Make sure again that timing chain and water pump sprocket are
engaged.
4. Install chain tensioner cover and water pump cover as follows:
a. Before installing, remove all traces of old liquid gasket from mat-
ing surface of water pump cover and chain tensioner cover
using scraper. Also remove traces of old liquid gasket from the
mating surface of front timing chain case.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket with tube presser [SST:
WS39930000] to mating surface of chain tensioner cover and
water pump cover.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
CAUTION:
Attaching should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
c. Tighten mounting bolts.
5. Install water drain plug (front) on water pump side of cylinder block.

Apply liquid gasket to the thread of water drain plug (front).
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
6. Install in the reverse order of removal in this step.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may gen-
erate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this does not indicate an unusualness.
Noise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of engine coolant using radiator cap tester adapter [SST: EG17650301] and radiator cap
tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-34, "
LEAK CHECK" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant.

CVT SYSTEM

Line Pressure and Secondary Pressure ControlBCS001G5

When an input torque signal equivalent to the engine drive force is sent from the ECM to the TCM, the
TCM controls the line pressure solenoid valve and secondary pressure solenoid valve.

This line pressure solenoid controls the pressure regulator valve as the signal pressure and adjusts the
pressure of the operating oil discharged from the oil pump to the line pressure most appropriate to the
driving state. Secondary pressure is controlled by decreasing line pressure.
NORMAL CONTROL
Optimize the line pressure and secondary pressure, depending on driving conditions, on the basis of the throt-
tle position, the engine speed, the primary pulley (input) revolution speed, the secondary pulley (output) revo-
lution speed, the brake signal, the PNP switch signal, the lock-up signal, the voltage, the target gear ratio, the
fluid temperature, and the fluid pressure.
FEEDBACK CONTROL
When controlling the normal fluid pressure or the selected fluid pressure, the secondary pressure can be set
more accurately by using the fluid pressure sensor to detect the secondary pressure and controlling the feed-
back.
Shift ControlBCS001G6
In order to select the gear ratio which can obtain the driving force in accordance with driver's intention and the
vehicle condition, TCM monitors the driving conditions, such as the vehicle speed and the throttle position and
selects the optimum gear ratio, and determines the gear change steps to the gear ratio. Then send the com-
mand to the step motor, and control the flow-in/flow-out of line pressure from the primary pulley to determine
the position of the moving-pulley and control the gear ratio.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

TROUBLE DIAGNOSISPFP:00004
DTC Inspection Priority ChartBCS001GE
If some DTCs are displayed at the same time, perform inspections one by one based on the following priority
chart.
NOTE:
If DTC “U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT” is displayed with other DTCs, first perform the trouble diagnosis
for “DTC U1000 CAN COMMUNICATION LINE”. Refer to CVT-53
.
Fail-safeBCS001GF
The TCM has an electrical fail-safe mode. This mode makes it possible to operate even if there is an error in a
main electronic control input/output signal circuit.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
If any malfunction occurs in a sensor or solenoid, this function controls the CVT to make driving possible.
Output Speed Sensor (Secondary Speed Sensor)
The shift pattern is changed in accordance with throttle position when an unexpected signal is sent from the
output speed sensor (secondary speed sensor) to the TCM. The manual mode position and second position is
inhibited, and the transaxle is put in “D”.
Input Speed Sensor (Primary Speed Sensor)
The shift pattern is changed in accordance with throttle position and secondary speed (vehicle speed) when
an unexpected signal is sent from the input speed sensor (primary speed sensor) to the TCM. The manual
mode position and second position is inhibited, and the transaxle is put in “D”.
PNP Switch
If an unexpected signal is sent from the PNP switch to the TCM, the transaxle is put in “D”.
Manual Mode Switch
If an unexpected signal is sent from the manual mode switch to the TCM, the transaxle is put in “D”.
CVT Fluid Temperature Sensor
If an unexpected signal is sent from the CVT fluid temperature sensor to the TCM, the gear ratio in use before
receiving the unexpected signal is maintained or the gear ratio is controlled to keep engine speed under 5,000
rpm.
Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor A (Secondary Pressure Sensor)

If an unexpected signal is sent from the transmission fluid pressure sensor A (secondary pressure sensor)
to the TCM, the secondary pressure feedback control is stopped and the offset value obtained before the
non-standard condition occurs is used to control line pressure.

If transmission fluid pressure sensor A (secondary pressure sensor) error signal is input to TCM, second-
ary pressure feedback control stops, but line pressure is controlled normally.
Pressure Control Solenoid A (Line Pressure Solenoid)
If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid to the TCM, the pressure control solenoid A (line pressure
solenoid) is turned OFF to achieve the maximum fluid pressure.
Pressure Control Solenoid B (Secondary Pressure Solenoid)
If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid to the TCM, the pressure control solenoid B (secondary pres-
sure solenoid) is turned OFF to achieve the maximum fluid pressure.
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid
If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid to the TCM, the torque converter clutch solenoid is turned
OFF to cancel the lock-up.
