PRECAUTIONS
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”.
 Always use the specified brand of ATF. Refer to MA-9, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
 Use lint-free paper not cloth rags during work.
 After replacing the ATF, dispose of the waste oil using the methods prescribed by law, ordinance, etc.
 Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the out side of the transmission. It is important to pre-
vent the internal parts from becoming cont aminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
 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 assembly.
 All parts should be carefully cleansed 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 s lide 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.
 After overhaul, refill the transmission with new ATF.
 When the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of t he 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- 11 , "
Changing A/T Fluid", AT- 11 , "Checking A/T Fluid".
Service Notice or PrecautionINFOID:0000000001327125
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 radiat or 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-13, "
A/T
Fluid Cooler Cleaning". For radiator replacement, refer to CO-13 (for VQ35DE), CO-40 (for VK45DE).
OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSIS
 A/T self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in comb ination 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-84, "
CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)" for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic
result.
 The self-diagnostic results indicated by the MIL ar e automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM memo-
ries.
Always perform the procedure on AT-38, "
OBD-II Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)" to complete the
repair and avoid unnecessary blinking of the MIL.
For details of OBD-II, refer to EC-54
(for VQ35DE) or EC-632 (for VK45DE).
 Certain systems and components, especially those re lated to OBD, may use the new style slide-lock-
ing type harness connector. For descrip tion and how to disconnect, refer to PG-68
.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
IntroductionINFOID:0000000001327143
The A/T system has two self-diagnostic systems.
The first is the emission-related on board diagnostic syst em (OBD-II) performed by the TCM in combination
with the ECM. The malfunction is indicated by the MI L (malfunction indicator lamp) and is stored as a DTC in
the ECM memory but not the TCM memory.
The second is the TCM original self-diagnosis indicat ed by the A/T CHECK indicator lamp. The malfunction is
stored in the TCM memory. The detected items are ov erlapped with OBD-II self-diagnostic items. For detail,
refer to AT-84, "
CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)".
OBD-II Function for A/T SystemINFOID:0000000001327144
The ECM provides emission-related on board diagnostic (O BD-II) functions for the A/T system. One function
is to receive a signal from the TCM used with OBD-relat ed parts of the A/T system. The signal is sent to the
ECM when a malfunction occurs in the corresponding OBD-related part. The other function is to indicate a
diagnostic result by means of the MIL (malfunction indi cator lamp) on the instrument panel. Sensors, switches
and solenoid valves are used as sensing elements.
The MIL automatically illuminates in “One or Two Trip Detection Logic” when a malfunction is sensed in rela-
tion to A/T system parts.
One or Two Trip Detection Logic of OBD-IIINFOID:0000000001327145
ONE TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
If a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, the MIL will illuminate and the malfunction will be stored in
the ECM memory as a DTC. The TCM is not provided with such a memory function.
TWO TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
When a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, it is stored in the ECM memory as a 1st trip DTC
(diagnostic trouble code) or 1st trip freeze frame data. At this point, the MIL will not illuminate. — 1st trip
If the same malfunction as that experienced during the fi rst test drive is sensed during the second test drive,
the MIL will illuminate. — 2nd trip
The “Trip” in the “One or Two Trip Detection Logic” means a driving mode in which self-diagnosis is performed
during vehicle operation.
OBD-II Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)INFOID:0000000001327146
HOW TO READ DTC AND 1ST TRIP DTC
DTC and 1st trip DTC can be read by the following methods.
( with CONSULT-III or GST) CONSULT-III or GST (Generic Scan Tool) Examples: P0705, P0720 etc.
These DTC are prescribed by SAE J2012.
(CONSULT-III also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)
 1st trip DTC No. is the same as DTC No.
 Output of the diagnostic troubl e code indicates that the indicated circuit has a malfunction. How-
ever, in case of the Mode II and GST, they do not indicate whether the malfunction is still occurring or
occurred in the past and returned to normal.
CONSULT-III can identify them as shown below, therefore, CONSULT-III (if available) is recom-
mended.
- DTC or 1st trip DTC of malfunction is displayed in SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS mode for “ENGINE” with
CONSULT-III. Time data indicates how many times the vehicle was driven after the last detection of a DTC.
- If the DTC is being detected currently, the time data will be “0”.
- If a 1st trip DTC is stored in t he ECM, the time data will be “1t”.
Freeze Frame Data and 1st Trip Freeze Frame Data
The ECM has a memory function, which stores the driv ing condition such as fuel system status, calculated
load value, engine coolant temperature, short term f uel trim, long term fuel trim, engine speed and vehicle
speed at the moment the ECM detects a malfunction.
Data which are stored in the ECM memory, along with the 1st trip DTC, are called 1st trip freeze frame data,
and the data, stored together with the DTC data, are called freeze frame data and displayed on CONSULT-III
or GST. The 1st trip freeze frame data can only be disp layed on the CONSULT-III screen, not on the GST. For

TRANSMISSION DATA AND TRANSMISSION ORDER
Unified meter and A/C amp. data is transmitted consecut ively to each of the door motors following the form
shown in figure below.
Sta rt:
Initial compulsory signal is sent to each of the door motors.
Address:
Data sent from the unified meter and A/C amp. are selected according to data-based decisions made by the
air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor.
If the addresses are identical, the opening angle data and error check signals are received by the door motor
LCUs. The LCUs then make the appropriate error decis ion. If the opening angle data have no error, door con-
trol begins.
If an error exists, the received data are rejected and corrected data received. Finally, door control is based
upon the corrected opening angle data.
Opening Angle:
Data that shows the indicated door opening angle of each door motor.
Error Check:
In this procedure, transmitted and received data is check ed for errors. Error data are then compiled. The error
check prevents corrupted data from being used by the ai r mix door motor, the mode door motor and the intake
door motor. Error data can be related to the following symptoms.
 Malfunction of electrical frequency
 Poor electrical connections
 Signal leakage from transmission lines
 Signal level fluctuation
Stop Signal:
At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-oper ation, or internal malfunction message is delivered to
the unified meter and A/C amp. This comple tes one data transmission and control cycle.
