PRECAUTIONS
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
INSTALLATION
1. Align CVT unit harness connector terminal body marking with
bayonet ring marking, insert CVT unit harness connector, and
then rotate bayonet ring clockwise.
2. Rotate bayonet ring clockwise until CVT unit harness connector
terminal body marking is aligned with the bayonet ring marking
(linear slit) as shown.
CAUTION:

Securely align CVT unit harness connector terminal body
marking with bayonet ring marking (linear slit). Do not
make a half fit condition as shown.

Do not mistake the bayonet ring marking (linear slit) for
other dent portion.

CVT FLUID

CVT FLUIDPFP:KLE50
Checking CVT FluidUCS005XN
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).
1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle to warm up the
CVT fluid. When ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F), it takes
about 10 minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 to 80°C
(122 to 176°F).
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
4. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move the
selector lever throughout the entire shift range and return it to
the “P” position.
5. Press the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to release the lock
and pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charg-
ing pipe.
6. Wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge. Then rotate the CVT
fluid level gauge 180° and re-insert it into the CVT charging pipe
as far as it will go.
CAUTION:
Always use lint free paper towels to wipe fluid off the CVT
fluid level gauge.
7. Remove the CVT fluid level gauge and check that the fluid level
is within the specified range as shown. If the fluid level is at or
below the low side of the range, add the necessary specified
NISSAN CVT fluid through the CVT charging pipe.
CAUTION:

Only use specified NISSAN CVT fluid.

Do not overfill the CVT.
8. Install the CVT fluid level gauge to the CVT fluid charging pipe until it locks.
CAUTION:
When CVT fluid level gauge is installed into the CVT fluid charging pipe, make sure that the CVT
fluid level gauge is securely locked in place.

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.
OVERDRIVE-OFF MODE
Use this position for the improved engine braking.
“L” POSITION
By limiting the gear range to the lowest position, the strong driving
force and the engine brake can be secured.
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 driveability.

Inspections before Trouble DiagnosisUCS005YB
CVT FLUID CHECK
Fluid Leakage and Fluid Level Check

Inspect for fluid leakage and check the fluid level. Refer to CVT-16, "Checking CVT Fluid" .
Fluid Condition Check
Inspect the 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
CVT fluid temperature is 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F). Inspect the
amount of CVT fluid. Replenish if necessary.
3. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.

It is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D”
position.

LINE PRESSURE TEST
Line Pressure Test Port
Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil and replenish if necessary.
2. Drive the car for about 10 minutes to warm it up so that the CVT fluid reaches in the range of 50 to 80°C
(122 to 176°F), then inspect the amount of CVT fluid and replenish if necessary.
NOTE:
The CVT fluid temperature rises in the range of 50 - 80°C (122 - 176°F) during 10 minutes of driving.
3. After warming up CVT, remove the oil pressure detection plug and install the oil pressure gauge [special
service tool: - (OTC3492)].
CAUTION:
When using the oil pressure gauge, be sure to use the O-ring attached to the oil pressure detec-
tion plug.
4. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
5. Start the engine, and then measure the line pressure at both idle
and the stall speed.
CAUTION:

Keep the brake pedal pressed all the way down during
measurement.

When measuring the line pressure at the stall speed,
refer to CVT-43, "
STALL TEST" .
6. After the measurements are complete, install the oil pressure
detection plug and tighten to the specified torque below.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse O-ring.

Apply CVT fluid to O-ring.
