Clean or replace ATF cooler if excessive foreign material is found in oil pan or clogging strainer. Refer to
AT- 9 , "
ATF COOLER SERVICE" .

After overhaul, refill the transmission with new ATF.

When the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the ATF is drained. Old ATF will remain in torque con-
verter and ATF cooling system.
Always follow the procedures under “Changing A/T Fluid” in the AT section when changing A/T fluid. Refer
to AT- 1 2 , "
Changing A/T Fluid" , AT- 1 3 , "Checking A/T Fluid" .
Service Notice or PrecautionsNCS001JF
ATF COOLER SERVICE
If ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), or if an A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced,
inspect and clean the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiator or replace the radiator. Flush cooler lines using
cleaning solvent and compressed air after repair. For A/T fluid cooler cleaning procedure, refer to AT- 1 4 , "
A/T
Fluid Cooler Cleaning" . For radiator replacement, refer to CO-14, "RADIATOR" (for VQ35DE engine), CO-43,
"RADIATOR" (for VK45DE engine).
OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSIS

A/T self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. The results can be read through
the blinking pattern of the A/T CHECK indicator or the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Refer to the table
on AT- 9 2 , "
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE" for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic
result.

The self-diagnostic results indicated by the MIL are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM mem-
ories.
Always perform the procedure on AT- 4 1 , "
HOW TO ERASE DTC" to complete the repair and avoid
unnecessary blinking of the MIL.
For details of OBD-II, refer to EC-54, "
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM" (for VQ35DE engine), EC-
756, "ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM" (for VK45DE engine).

Certain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use the new style slide-
locking type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer to PG-104, "
HAR-
NESS CONNECTOR" .

Stop signal:
At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal malfunction message is delivered to
the unified meter and A/C amp. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.
AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL (AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL)
The air mix doors are automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature is maintained at a predetermined
value by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature and amount of sunload.
FAN SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tempera-
ture, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With pressing AUTO switch, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake doors are automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and ON/OFF operation of the compressor.
MODE DOOR CONTROL
The mode doors are automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
UPPER VENTILATOR DOOR CONTROL
The upper ventilator door is automatically controlled by the mode setting, and amount of sunload.

Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM ALARM OPERATION
The vehicle security system is triggered by

opening a door

opening the trunk

opening the hood

detection of battery disconnect and connect.
The vehicle security system will be triggered once the system is in armed phase,
when BCM receives a ground signal at terminals 12 (passenger side door), 13 (rear RH door), 57 (trunk), 62
(driver side door), 63 (rear LH door), or receives a signal from the IPDM E/R (hood switch).
When the vehicle security system is triggered,
ground is supplied intermittently to both headlamp relay and horn relay.
When headlamp relay and horn relay are energized, then power is supplied to headlamps (LH and RH) and
horns (HIGH and LOW).
The headlamps flash and the horn sounds intermittently.
The alarm automatically turns off after 50 seconds, but will reactivate if the vehicle is tampered with again.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
To deactivate the vehicle security system, a door or the trunk must be unlocked with the key, Intelligent Key.
When the key is used to unlock a door, BCM terminal 22 receives signal

from the power window main switch (door lock and unlock switch) terminal 14.
When the BCM receives either one of these signals or unlock signal from key cylinder switch or Intelligent Key,
the vehicle security system is deactivated. (Disarmed phase)
PANIC ALARM OPERATION
Intelligent Key system may or may not operate vehicle security system (horn and headlamps) as required.
When the Intelligent Key system is triggered, ground is supplied intermittently to both headlamp relay and horn
relay.
When headlamp relay and horn relay are energized, then power is supplied to headlamps (LH and RH) and
horns (HIGH and LOW).
The headlamp flashes and the horn sounds intermittently.
The alarm automatically turns off after 25 seconds or when BCM receives any signal from Intelligent Key.
CAN Communication System DescriptionNIS001ZV
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.
CAN Communication UnitNIS001ZW

DTC P1574 ASCD VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
DTC P1574 ASCD VEHICLE SPEED SENSORPFP:31036
Component DescriptionNBS0055I
The ECM receives two vehicle speed sensor signals via CAN communication line. One is sent from “unified
meter and A/C amp.”, and the other is from TCM (Transmission control module). The ECM uses these signals
for ASCD control. Refer to EC-36, "
AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL DEVICE (ASCD)" for ASCD functions.
On Board Diagnosis LogicNBS0055J
This self-diagnosis has the one trip detection logic.
The MIL will not light up for this diagnosis.
NOTE:

If DTC P1574 is displayed with DTC U1000, U1001, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC
U1000, U1001. Refer to EC-161, "
DTC U1000, U1001 CAN COMMUNICATION LINE" .

If DTC P1574 is displayed with DTC U1010, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC U1010.
Refer to EC-164, "
DTC U1010 CAN COMMUNICATION" .

If DTC P1574 is displayed with DTC P0500, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0500.
Refer to EC-468, "
DTC P0500 VSS"

If DTC P1574 is displayed with DTC P0605, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0605.
Refer to EC-483, "
DTC P0605 ECM"
DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBS0055K
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Step 3 may be conducted with the drive wheels lifted in the shop or by driving the vehicle. If a road test
is expected to be easier, it is unnecessary to lift the vehicle.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Start engine (VDC switch OFF).
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Drive the vehicle at more than 40 km/h (25 MPH).
4. If DTC is detected, go to EC-587, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
WITH GST
Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-II” above.
