Precautions NCS001JE
Before  connecting  or  disconnecting  the  A/T  assembly  har-
ness  connector,  turn  ignition  switch  OFF  and  disconnect
the  battery  cable  from  the  negative  terminal.  Because  bat-
tery  voltage  is  applied  to  TCM  even  if  ignition  switch  is
turned OFF.
After  performing  each  TROUBLE  DIAGNOSIS,  perform
“DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) Confirmation Procedure”.
If  the  repair  is  completed  the  DTC  should  not  be  displayed
in the “DTC Confirmation Procedure”.
When removing the transmission from a vehicle, do not use the
companion flange section at the rear end of the transmission as
a support point. (VK45DE models only)
Always  use  the  specified  brand  of  ATF.  Refer  to MA-12,  "Fluids
and Lubricants" .
Use lint-free paper not cloth rags during work.
After replacing the ATF, dispose of the waste oil using the meth-
ods prescribed by law, ordinance, etc.
Before  proceeding  with  disassembly,  thoroughly  clean  the  out-
side  of  the  transmission.  It  is  important  to  prevent  the  internal
parts  from  becoming  contaminated  by  dirt  or  other  foreign  mat-
ter.
Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
Use  lint-free  paper  or  towels  for  wiping  parts  clean.  Common
shop rags can leave fibers that could interfere with the operation
of the transmission.
Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assem-
bly.
All  parts  should  be  carefully  cleaned  with  a  general  purpose,
non-flammable solvent before inspection or reassembly.
Gaskets,  seals  and  O-rings  should  be  replaced  any  time  the
transmission is disassembled.
It is very important to perform functional tests whenever they are indicated.
The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place  disassembled  valve  body  parts  in  order  for  easier  and  proper  assembly.  Care  will  also  prevent
springs and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.
Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings
and seals, or hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not use grease.
Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.

SHIFT CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
Checking of A/T PositionNCS001QO
1. Place selector lever in “P” position, and turn ignition switch ON (engine stop).
2. Make  sure  that  selector  lever  can  be  shifted  to  other  than  “P”  position  when  brake  pedal  is  depressed.
Also make sure that selector lever can be shifted from “P” position only when brake pedal is depressed.
3. Move the selector lever and check for excessive effort, sticking, noise or rattle.
4. Confirm the selector lever stops at each position with the feel of engagement when it is moved through all
the positions. Check whether or not the actual position the selector lever is in matches the position shown
by the shift position indicator and the A/T body.
5. The  method  of  operating  the  lever  to  individual  positions  cor-
rectly should be as shown in the figure.
6. When selector button is pressed in “P”, “R”, or “N” position with-
out applying forward/backward force to selector lever, check but-
ton operation for sticking.
7. Confirm the back-up  lamps illuminate only when lever is placed
in the “R” position. Confirm the back-up lamps does not illumi-
nate  when  selector  lever  is  pushed  against  “R”  position  in  the
“P” or “N” position.
8. Confirm the engine can only be started with the selector lever in
the “P” and “N” positions. (With selector lever in the “P” position,
engine  can  be  started  even  when  selector  lever  is  moved  for-
ward and backward.)
9. Make sure that A/T is locked completely in “P” position.
10. When selector lever is set to manual shift gate, make sure that manual mode is displayed on combination
meter.
Shift selector lever to “+” and “-” sides, and check that set shift position changes.

Precautions for Leak Detection DyeNJS000FV
The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet
(UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electrical leak detector. The fluorescent dye
leak  detector  should  be  used  in  conjunction  with  an  electrical leak  detector  (SST:  J-41995)  to  pin-point
refrigerant leaks.
For the purpose of safety and customer’s satisfaction, read and follow all manufacture’s operating instruc-
tions and precautions prior to performing the work.
A  compressor  shaft  seal  should  not  necessarily  be  repaired  because  of  dye  seepage.  The  compressor
shaft seal should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995).
Always remove any remaining dye from the leak area after repairs are completed to avoid a misdiagnosis
during a future service.
Never  allow  dye  to  come  into  contact  with  painted  body  panels  or  interior  components.  If  dye  is  spilled,
clean immediately with the approved dye cleaner. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an extended period
of time cannot be removed.
Never spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
Never use more than one refrigerant dye bottle (1/4 ounce /7.4 cc) per A/C system.
Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems are different. Never use
HFC-134a  (R-134a)  leak  detection  dye  in  CFC-12  (R-12)  A/C  system, or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection
dye in HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system, or A/C system damage may result.
The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for three years or a little over unless a compressor mal-
function occurs.
IDENTIFICATION
NOTE:
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have a green label.
Vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have a blue label.
IDENTIFICATION LABEL FOR VEHICLE
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have the identification label on the front side of hood.

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)PFP:284B2
System DescriptionNKS003XH
BCM (Body Control Module) controls the operation of various electrical units installed on the vehicle.
BCM FUNCTION
BCM has combination switch reading function for reading the operation of combination switches (light, wiper,
washer, turn signal) in addition to a function for controlling the operation of various electrical components. Also
it has an interface function allowing it to receive signals from the combination meter, and send signals to ECM
using CAN communication.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description
BCM reads combination switch  (lighting switch, wiper switch) status, and controls various electrical com-
ponent according to the result.
BCM  reads  information  of  a  maximum  of  20  switches  by  combining five  output  terminals  (OUTPUT  1-5)
and five input terminals (INPUT 1-5).
Operation Description
BCM  activates  transistors  of  output  terminals  (OUTPUT  1-5)  periodically,  and  allows  current  to  flow  in
turn.
If  any (1  or  more)  switches  are turned  ON,  circuit of  output  terminals  (OUTPUT  1-5)  and  input terminals
(INPUT 1-5) becomes active.
At this time, transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) are activated to allow current to flow. When volt-
age  of  input  terminals  (INPUT  1-5)  corresponding  to  that  switch  changes, interface in BCM detects volt-
age change, and BCM determines that switch is ON.
