A/T FLUID
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
CAUTION:

When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one.

To check A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge
until the cap contacts the end of the A/T fluid charging
pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the nor-
mal attachment conditions as shown.
8. Check A/T fluid condition.

If ATF is very dark or smells burned, check operation of A/T.
Flush cooling system after repair of A/T.

If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-14,
"RADIATOR" (for VQ35DE engine), CO-43, "RADIATOR"
(for VK45DE engine) and AT- 1 4 , "A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning" .
9. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging
pipe.
10. Tighten level gauge bolt.
A/T Fluid Cooler CleaningNCS001JK
Whenever an A/T is replaced, the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiator must be inspected and cleaned.
Metal debris and friction material, if present, can become trapped in the A/T fluid cooler. This debris can con-
taminate the newly serviced A/T or, in severe cases, can block or restrict the flow of ATF. In either case, mal-
function of the newly serviced A/T may result.
Debris, if present, may build up as ATF enters the cooler inlet. It will be necessary to back flush the cooler
through the cooler outlet in order to flush out any built up debris.
A/T FLUID COOLER CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. Position an oil pan under the A/T inlet and outlet cooler hoses.
2. Identify the inlet and outlet fluid cooler hoses.
3. Disconnect the A/T fluid cooler inlet and outlet rubber hoses
from the steel cooler tubes or bypass valve.
NOTE:
Replace the cooler hoses if rubber material from the hose
remains on the tube fitting.
4. Allow any ATF that remains in the cooler hoses to drain into the
oil pan.Level gauge bolt

5. Insert the extension adapter hose of a can of Transmission
Cooler Cleaner (Nissan P/N 999MP-AM006) into the cooler out-
let hose.
CAUTION:

Wear safety glasses and rubber gloves when spraying
the Transmission Cooler Cleaner.

Spray Transmission Cooler Cleaner only with adequate
ventilation.

Avoid contact with eyes and skin.

Do not breath vapors or spray mist.
6. Hold the hose and can as high as possible and spray Transmis-
sion Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream into the cooler outlet hose until ATF flows out of the cooler
inlet hose for 5 seconds.
7. Insert the tip of an air gun into the end of the cooler outlet hose.
8. Wrap a shop rag around the air gun tip and of the cooler outlet
hose.
9. Blow compressed air regulated to 5 to 9 kg/cm
2 (70 to 130 psi)
through the cooler outlet hose for 10 seconds to force out any
remaining ATF.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 three additional times.
11. Position an oil pan under the banjo bolts that connect the A/T
fluid cooler steel lines to the A/T.
12. Remove the banjo bolts.
13. Flush each steel line from the cooler side back toward the A/T
by spraying Transmission Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream for 5 seconds.
14. Blow compressed air regulated to 5 to 9 kg/cm
2 (70 to 130 psi) through each steel line from the cooler
side back toward the A/T for 10 seconds to force out any remaining ATF.
15. Ensure all debris is removed from the steel cooler lines.
16. Ensure all debris is removed from the banjo bolts and fittings.
17. Perform AT- 1 5 , "
A/T FLUID COOLER DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE" .
A/T FLUID COOLER DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Insufficient cleaning of the cooler inlet hose exterior may lead to inaccurate debris identification.
1. Position an oil pan under the A/T inlet and outlet cooler hoses.
2. Clean the exterior and tip of the cooler inlet hose.
3. Insert the extension adapter hose of a can of Transmission
Cooler Cleaner (Nissan P/N 999MP-AM006) into the cooler out-
let hose.
CAUTION:

Wear safety glasses and rubber gloves when spraying
the Transmission Cooler Cleaner.

Spray Transmission Cooler Cleaner only with adequate
ventilation.

Avoid contact with eyes and skin.

Do not breath vapors or spray mist.
4. Hold the hose and can as high as possible and spray Transmis-
sion Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream into the cooler outlet hose until ATF flows out of the cooler
inlet hose for 5 seconds.

5. Tie a common white, basket-type coffee filter to the end of the
cooler inlet hose.
6. Insert the tip of an air gun into the end of the cooler outlet hose.
7. Wrap a shop rag around the air gun tip and end of cooler outlet
hose.
8. Blow compressed air regulated to 5 to 9 kg/cm
2 (70 to130 psi)
through the cooler outlet hose to force any remaining ATF into
the coffee filter.
9. Remove the coffee filter from the end of the cooler inlet hose.
10. Perform AT- 1 6 , "
A/T FLUID COOLER INSPECTION PROCE-
DURE" .
A/T FLUID COOLER INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Inspect the coffee filter for debris.
a. If small metal debris less than 1mm (0.040 in) in size or metal
powder is found in the coffee filter, this is normal. If normal
debris is found, the A/T fluid cooler/radiator can be re-used and
the procedure is ended.
b. If one or more pieces of debris are found that are over 1 mm
(0.040 in) in size and/or peeled clutch facing material is found in
the coffee filter, the A/T fluid cooler is not serviceable. The A/T
fluid cooler/radiator must be replaced and the inspection proce-
dure is ended. Refer to CO-14, "
RADIATOR" (for VQ35DE
engine), CO-43, "
RADIATOR" (for VK45DE engine).
A/T FLUID COOLER FINAL INSPECTION
After performing all procedures, ensure that all remaining oil is cleaned from all components.

TCM FunctionNCS001JP
The function of the TCM is to:

Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.

Determine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.

Send required output signals to the respective solenoids.
CONTROL SYSTEM OUTLINE
The A/T senses vehicle operating conditions through various sensors or signals. It always controls the opti-
mum shift position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
CAN CommunicationNCS001JQ
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. Refer to LAN-50, "
CAN Sys-
tem Specification Chart" .
Input/Output Signal of TCMNCS001JR
*1: Spare for vehicle speed sensor·A/T (revolution sensor)
*2: Spare for accelerator pedal position signal
*3: If these input and output signals are different, the TCM triggers the fail-safe function.
*4: Used as a condition for starting self-diagnostics; if self-diagnostics are not started, it is judged that there is some kind of error.
*5: Input by CAN communications.
*6: Output by CAN communications.Control itemLine

During Shift Change
The necessary and adequate line pressure for shift change is set.
For this reason, line pressure pattern setting corresponds to input
torque and gearshift selection. Also, line pressure characteristic is
according to engine speed, during engine brake operation.
At Low Fluid Temperature
When the A/T fluid temperature drops below the prescribed tempera-
ture, in order to speed up the action of each friction element, the line
pressure is set higher than the normal line pressure characteristic.
Shift ControlNCS001JT
The clutch pressure control solenoid is controlled by the signals from the switches and sensors. Thus, the
clutch pressure is adjusted to be appropriate to the engine load state and vehicle driving state. It becomes
possible to finely control the clutch hydraulic pressure with high precision and a smoother shift change charac-
teristic is attained.
