ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
INFOID:0000000001327147
DESCRIPTION
The MIL is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MIL will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON with- out the engine running. This is a bulb check.
 If the MIL does not light up, refer to DI-34
, or see EC-591 (for
VQ35DE) or EC-1194
(for VK45DE).
2. When the engine is started, the MIL should go off. If the MIL remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.

Road TestINFOID:0000000001425855
DESCRIPTION
 The road test checks overall performance of the A/T and analyzes possible malfunction causes.
 The road test is carried out in the following three stages.
1. Check before engine is started.
2. Check at idle.
3. Cruise test
 Inspect all the items Part 1 to Part 3.
 Before beginning the road test, che ck the procedure and inspection items.
 Test all inspection items until the symptom is uncov ered. Diagnose NG items when all road tests are com-
plete.
CHECK BEFORE ENGINE IS STARTED
1.CHECK A/T CHECK INDICATOR LAMP
1. Park vehicle on level surface.
2. Move selector lever to “P” position.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch ON.
Does A/T CHECK indicator lamp light up for about 2 seconds?
YES - 1>> With CONSULT-III
1. Perform self-diagnostics and record all NG items on the “Diagnostic Worksheet Chart”.
2. Go to “CHECK AT IDLE”.
YES - 2>> Without CONSULT-III
1. Perform self-diagnostics and record all NG it ems on the “Diagnostic Worksheet Chart”. Refer
to AT-91, "
Diagnosis Procedure without CONSULT-III".
2. Go to “CHECK AT IDLE”.
NO >> Stop the road test and go to AT-170, "
A/T Check Indicator Lamp Does Not Come On".
CHECK AT IDLE
1.CHECK STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Park vehicle on level surface.
2. Move selector lever to “P” or “N” position.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Start engine.
Does the engine start?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Stop the road test and go to AT-170, "
Engine Cannot Be Started in "P" or "N" Position".
Stall speedLine pressure does
not rise higher than
the line pressure for
idle.
Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the pressure adjustment function.
For example
 Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
 TCM breakdown
 Line pressure solenoid malfunction (shorting, sticking in ON state)
 Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
 Pilot valve sticking or pilot filter clogged
The pressure rises,
but does not enter
the standard posi-
tion. Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and malfunction in the pres-
sure adjustment function.
For example
 Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
 Line pressure solenoid malfunction (sticking, filter clog)
 Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
 Pilot valve sticking or pilot filter clogged
Only low for a spe-
cific position Possible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position after
the pressure is distributed by the manual valve.

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
If the noise can be duplicated easily during the test drive, to help identify the source of the noise, try to dupli-
cate the noise with the vehicle stopped by doing one or all of the following:
1) Close a door.
2) Tap or push/pull around the area where the noise appears to be coming from.
3) Rev the engine.
4) Use a floor jack to recreate vehicle "twist".
5) At idle, apply engine load (electrical load, half- clutch on M/T model, drive position on A/T model).
6) Raise the vehicle on a hoist and hit a tire with a rubber hammer.
 Drive the vehicle and attempt to duplicate the conditions the customer states exist when the noise occurs.
 If it is difficult to duplicate the noise, drive the v ehicle slowly on an undulating or rough road to stress the
vehicle body.
CHECK RELATED SERVICE BULLETINS
After verifying the customer concern or symptom, chec k ASIST for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related
to that concern or symptom.
If a TSB relates to the symptom, follo w the procedure to repair the noise.
LOCATE THE NOISE AND IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE
1. Narrow down the noise to a general area. To help pi npoint the source of the noise, use a listening tool
(Chassis Ear: J-39570, Engine Ear and mechanics stethoscope).
2. Narrow down the noise to a more specific area and identify the cause of the noise by:
 removing the components in the area that you suspect the noise is coming from.
Do not use too much force when removing clips and fasteners, otherwise clips and fastener can be broken
or lost during the repair, resulting in the creation of new noise.
 tapping or pushing/pulling the component that you suspect is causing the noise.
Do not tap or push/pull the component with excessive force, otherwise the noise will only be eliminated tem-
porarily.
 feeling for a vibration with your hand by touching the component(s) that you suspect is (are) causing the
noise.
 placing a piece of paper between components that you suspect are causing the noise.
 looking for loose components and contact marks. Refer to BL-9, "
Generic Squeak and Rattle Troubleshooting".
REPAIR THE CAUSE
 If the cause is a loose component, tighten the component securely.
 If the cause is insufficient clearance between components:
- separate components by repositioning or loos ening and retightening the component, if possible.
- insulate components with a suitable insulator such as urethane pads, foam blocks, felt cloth tape or urethane
tape. A Nissan Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) is av ailable through your authorized Nissan Parts Depart-
ment.
CAUTION:
Do not use excessive force as many components are constructed of plastic and may be damaged.
NOTE:
Always check with the Parts Departm ent for the latest parts information.
The following materials are contained in the Nissan Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980). Each item can be
ordered separately as needed.
