Changing A/T FluidECS00FWD
1. Warm up ATF.
2. Stop engine.
3. Loosen level gauge bolt.
4. Remove A/T fluid level gauge.
5. Remove drain plug and drain ATF from drain hole.
6. Install drain plug gasket and drain plug to oil pan.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
7. Tighten drain plug to the specified torque. Refer toAT-218,
"COMPONENTS".
8. Refill with new ATF. Always refill same volume with drained ATF.
lTo replace the ATF, pour in new ATF at A/T fluid charging pipe
with the engine idling and at the same time drain the old ATF
from A/T fluid cooler hose return side.
lWhen the color of the ATF coming out is about the same as the color of the new ATF, the replacement
is complete. The amount of new ATF to use should be 30 to 50% increase of the specified amount.
CAUTION:
lUse only Genuine NISSAN ATF Matic Fluid J. Do not mix with other ATF.
lUsing ATF other than Genuine NISSAN ATF Matic Fluid J will cause deterioration in driveability
and A/T durability, and may damage the A/T, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle
warranty.
lWhen filling ATF, take care not to spillover heat generating parts such as exhaust.
9. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
10. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer toAT-12, "
Checking A/T Fluid". If ATF is still dirty, repeat step 2
through 9.
11. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe.
12. Tighten level gauge bolt to the specified torque. Refer toAT- 2 4 7 , "

A/T FLUID CHECK
A/T Fluid Leakage and A/T Fluid Level Check
Inspect for A/T fluid leakage and check the A/T fluid level. Refer toAT-12, "Checking A/T Fluid".
A/T Fluid Condition Check
Inspect the A/T fluid condition.
STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil. Replenish the engine oil if necessary.
2. Drive for about 10 minutes to warm up the vehicle so that the A/
Tfluidtemperatureis50to80°C(122to176°F). Inspect the
amount of ATF. Replenish if necessary.
3. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
4. Engine start, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D”
position.
5. While holding down the foot brake, gradually press down the
accelerator pedal.
6. Quickly read off the stall speed, then quickly remove your foot
from the accelerator pedal.
CAUTION:
Do not hold down the accelerator pedal for more than 5 sec-
onds during this test.
7. Move selector lever to the “N” position.
8. Cool down the ATF.

ROAD TEST
Description
lThe road test inspects overall performance of A/T and analyzes possible malfunction causes.
lThe road test is perform in the following three stages.
1. Check before engine is started. Refer toAT-46
.
2. Check at idle. Refer toAT-47
.
3. Cruise test.
lInspect all the items from Part 1 to Part 3. Refer toAT-48,AT-50,AT-51.
lBefore beginning the road test, check the test procedure and inspection items.
lTest all inspection items until the symptom is uncovered. Diagnose NG items when all road tests are com-
plete.
CheckBeforeEngineIsStartedECS00FX1
1.CHECK OD OFF INDICATOR LAMP
1. Park vehicle on level surface.
2. Move selector lever to “P” position.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
Does OD OFF indicator lamp light up for about 2 seconds?
YES >> 1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Perform self-diagnosis and record all NG items onAT-38, "
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET".
Refer toAT-80, "
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE",AT-89, "TCM SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURE (WITHOUT CONSULT-II)".
3. Go toAT-47, "
Check at Idle".
NO >> Stop the road test and go toAT- 1 7 7 , "
OD OFF Indicator Lamp Does Not Come On".
Stall speedOil pressure does not
rise higher than the oil
pressure for idle.Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the pressure adjustment
function.
For example
lAccelerator pedal position signal malfunction
lTCM malfunction
lLine pressure solenoid malfunction (shorting, sticking in ON state)
lPressure regulator valve or plug sticking
lPilot valve sticking or pilot filter clogged
The pressure rises, but
does not enter the stan-
dard position.Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and malfunction in the
pressure adjustment function.
For example
lAccelerator pedal position signal malfunction
lLine pressure solenoid malfunction (sticking, filter clog)
lPressure regulator valve or plug sticking
lPilot valve sticking or pilot filter clogged
Only low for a specific
positionPossible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position
after the pressure is distributed by the manual valve. Judgement Possible cause

6.CHECK “R” POSITION FUNCTIONS
1. Engage the brake.
2. Move selector lever to “R” position.
3. Release the brake for 4 to 5 seconds.
Does the vehicle creep backward?
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> Enter a check mark at “Vehicle Does Not Creep Backward in “R” Position” onAT-38, "

4. Start engine.
5. Move selector lever to “D” position.
6. Press accelerator pedal about half-way down to accelerate the vehicle.
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear position. Refer toAT-83, "

Starts from D
1?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Enter a check mark at “Vehicle Cannot Be Started from D
1”onAT-38, "DIAGNOSTIC WORK-
SHEET", then continue the road test.
2.CHECK SHIFT-UP D1®D2
Press down accelerator pedal about half-way and inspect if the vehicle shifts up (D1®D2) at the appropriate
speed. Refer toAT-52, "
Vehicle Speed at Which Gear Shifting Occurs".
With CONSULT-II
Read the gear position, throttle degree and vehicle speed. Refer toAT-83, "
DATA MONITOR MODE".
Does the A/T shift-up D
1®D2at the correct speed?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Enter a check mark at “A/T Does Not Shift: D
