Control ValveBCS000ZW
FUNCTION OF CONTROL VALVES
Valve name Function
Pressure regulator valve, plug and sleeve
plugRegulates oil discharged from the oil pump to provide optimum line pressure for all driv-
ing conditions.
Pressure modifier valve and sleeve Used as a signal supplementary valve to the pressure regulator valve. Regulates pres-
sure-modifier pressure (signal pressure) which controls optimum line pressure for all
driving conditions.
Pilot valve Regulates line pressure to maintain a constant pilot pressure level which controls lock-up
mechanism, overrun clutch, shift timing.
Accumulator control valve Regulates accumulator back-pressure to pressure suited to driving conditions.
Manual valve Directs line pressure to oil circuits corresponding to select positions.
Hydraulic pressure drains when the shift lever is in Neutral.
Shift valve A Simultaneously switches three oil circuits using output pressure of shift solenoid valve A
to meet driving conditions (vehicle speed, throttle opening, etc.).
Provides automatic downshifting and upshifting (1st → 2nd → 3rd → 4th gears/4th →
3rd → 2nd → 1st gears) in combination with shift valve B.
Shift valve B Simultaneously switches two oil circuits using output pressure of shift solenoid valve B in
relation to driving conditions (vehicle speed, throttle opening, etc.).
Provides automatic downshifting and upshifting (1st → 2nd → 3rd → 4th gears/4th →
3rd → 2nd → 1st gears) in combination with shift valve A.
Overrun clutch control valve Switches hydraulic circuits to prevent engagement of the overrun clutch simultaneously
with application of the brake band in D
4 . (Interlocking occurs if the overrun clutch
engages during D
4 .)
1st reducing valve Reduces low & reverse brake pressure to dampen engine-brake shock when downshift-
ing from the 1st position 1
2 to 11 .
Overrun clutch reducing valve Reduces oil pressure directed to the overrun clutch and prevents engine-brake shock.
In the 1st and 2nd positions, line pressure acts on the overrun clutch reducing valve to
increase the pressure-regulating point, with resultant engine brake capability.
Torque converter relief valve Prevents an excessive rise in torque converter pressure.
Torque converter clutch control valve, plug
and sleeveActivates or inactivates the lock-up function.
Also provides smooth lock-up through transient application and release of the lock-up
system.
1-2 accumulator valve and piston Lessens the shock find when the 2nd gear band servo contracts, and provides smooth
shifting.
3-2 timing valve Switches the pace that oil pressure is released depending on vehicle speed; maximizes
the high clutch release timing, and allows for soft downshifting.
Shuttle valve Determines if the overrun clutch solenoid valve should control the 3-2 timing valve or the
overrun clutch control valve and switches between the two.
Cooler check valve At low speeds and with a small load when a little heat is generated, saves the volume of
cooler flow, and stores the oil pressure for lock-up.

LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE
LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVEPFP:31940
DescriptionBCS0012I
Line pressure solenoid valve regulates oil pump discharge pressure to suit the driving condition in response to
a signal sent from TCM.
The line pressure duty cycle value is not consistent when the closed throttle position switch is ON. To
confirm the line pressure duty cycle at low-pressure, accelerator (throttle) should be open until the
closed throttle position switch is “OFF”.
CONSULT-II Reference ValveBCS0026L
On Board Diagnosis LogicBCS0012J
Diagnostic trouble code “LINE PRESSURE S/V” with CONSULT-II or 11th judgement flicker without CON-
SULT-II is detected when TCM detects an improper voltage drop when it tries to operate the solenoid valve.
Possible CauseBCS0012K
Harness or connector
(Solenoid circuit is open or shorted.)
Line pressure solenoid valve
DTC Confirmation ProcedureBCS0012L
CAUTION:
If performing this “DTC Confirmation Procedure” again, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before continuing.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm that the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
3. Depress accelerator pedal completely and wait at least 1 sec-
ond.
4. If DTC is detected, go to AT- 1 2 9 , "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
WITHOUT CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. With brake pedal depressed, shift the lever from “P” → “N” → “D” → “N” → “P” positions.
3. Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to AT- 7 6 , "
Diagnostic Procedure Without CONSULT-II" .
4. If the check result is NG, go to AT- 1 2 9 , "
Diagnostic Procedure" .

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
BFS000BB
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for Brake SystemBFS000BC
Clean dust on front brake and rear brake with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed air.
Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3 or DOT 4”. Refer to MA-14, "Fluids and Lubricants" .
Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed
on painted surfaces of body, immediately wipe it off and them wash it away with water immediately.
To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake caliper, use clean brake fluid.
Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
Use a flare nut torque wrench when installing brake tube.
When installing brake tube, be sure to check torque.
Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect electri-
cal connector of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or
battery cables.
Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing
rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low
mileage. Refer to BR-32, "
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCE-
DURE" (Front disc brake), BR-39, "BRAKE BURNISHING
PROCEDURE" (Rear disc brake).
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with a dust collector.

Checking Brake Fluid LevelBFS000BI
Make sure that a brake fluid level in reservoir tank is within the
standard (between MAX and MIN lines).
Visually check around reservoir tank for fluid leakage.
If fluid level is excessively low, check brake system for leakage.
Release parking brake pedal and see if brake warning lamp
goes off. If not, check brake system for fluid leakage.
Drain and RefillBFS000BJ
CAUTION:
Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3 or DOT 4”.
Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it way cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted surfaces of the body, immediately wipe off them and wash it away with water
immediately.
Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect electrical connector of ABS actuator and
electric unit (control unit) or battery cables.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to bleed valve.
2. Depress brake pedal, loosen bleed valve, and gradually remove
brake fluid.
3. Clean inside of reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.
4. Rest foot on brake pedal. Loosen bleed valve. Slowly depress
brake pedal until it stops. Tighten bleed valve. Release brake
pedal. Repeat this process a few time, them pause to and new
brake fluid to master cylinder. Continue until new brake fluid
flows out.
5. Bleed air. Refer to BR-10, "
Bleeding Brake System" .
