A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
CONTROL OF SHIFT VALVES A AND B
Pilot pressure generated by the operation of shift solenoid valves A and B is applied to the end face of shift
valves A and B.
The figure above shows the operation of shift valve B. When the shift solenoid valve is “ON”, pilot pressure
applied to the end face of the shift valve overcomes spring force, moving the valve upward.
Lock-up ControlUCS005MH
The torque converter clutch piston in the torque converter is locked to eliminate torque converter slip and to
increase power transmission efficiency. The solenoid valve is controlled by an ON-OFF duty signal sent from
the TCM. The signal is converted to an oil pressure signal which controls the torque converter clutch piston.
CONDITIONS FOR LOCK-UP OPERATION
When vehicle is driven in 3rd and 4th gear positions, vehicle speed and throttle opening are detected. If the
detected values fall within the lock-up zone memorized in the TCM, lock-up is performed.

A/T FLUID CHECK
Fluid Leakage and Fluid Level Check
Check fluid leakage and check the fluid level. Refer to AT-16, "Checking A/T Fluid" .
Fluid Condition Check
Check the A/T fluid condition.
STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
1. Check ATF and engine oil levels. If necessary, add ATF and
engine oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approximately 10 minutes or until ATF and
engine oil reach operating temperature.
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
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 Ports
Location of line pressure test ports are shown in the figure.
Always replace pressure plugs as they are self-sealing
bolts.
Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Check ATF and engine oil levels. If necessary, add ATF or
engine oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and ATF
reach operating temperature.
3. Install oil pressure gauge to corresponding line pressure test
port.
4. Set parking brake and block wheels.

5. Start engine and measure line pressure at idle and 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 AT-53, "

Line pressure is low in particular posi-
tion.
Fluid pressure leakage between manual valve and particular clutch
For example, line pressure is:
− Low in “R” and “1” positions, but
− Normal in “D”, and “2” positions.
Therefore, fluid leakage exists at or around low and reverse brake circuit.
Refer to AT - 2 2 , "

7. CHECK VEHICLE MOVE
Move selector lever to “D”, “2” and “1” positions and check if vehicle
creeps forward.
Does vehicle creep forward in all three positions?
YES >> Go to AT- 6 1 , "Cruise Test — Part 1" .
NO >>
Mark the box on the AT-47, "DIAGNOSTIC WORK-
SHEET" .
Go to AT-205, "Vehicle Does Not Creep Forward in
“D”, “2” or “1” Position" .
Continue “Road Test”.
