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
.

Precaution for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)INFOID:0000000001328153
CAUTION:
 CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refr igerant are not compatible. If the refrigerants
are mixed and compressor malfunct ion is likely to occur, refer to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT”
below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refriger-
ant Recovery/Recycling Rech arging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.
 Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor malfunction is likely to occur.
 The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lu bricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precauti ons must be observed:
- When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
- When installing refrigerant components to a vehic le, never remove the caps (unseal) until just before
connecting the components. Connect all refriger ant loop components as quickly as possible to min-
imize the entry of moisture into system.
- Only use the specified lubricant fr om a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant.
Without proper sealing, lubrican t will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
- Never allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrene foam parts.
Damage may result.
CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT
If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, take appropriate steps
shown below:
 Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into
the atmosphere.
 Explain that recovery of the contaminated refri gerant could damage service equipment and refrigerant sup-
ply.
 Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the locati on of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
 In case of repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never
recover contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. If the facility does not have ded-
icated recovery equipment, contact a local refrigerant pr oduct retailer for available service. This refrigerant
must be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition, replacement of all
refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.
 If the vehicle is within the warranty period, the air conditioner warranty is void. Please contact Nissan Cus-
tomer Affairs for further assistance.
General Refrigerant PrecautionINFOID:0000000001328154
WARNING:
 Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vap or or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C syst em, using certified service equipment meeting
requirements of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a)
recovery equipment]. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming
service. Additional health and saf ety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.

CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
 When the compressor is removed, store it in the sam e way at it is when mounted on the car. Failure
to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.
 When connecting tubes, always use a to rque wrench and a back-up wrench.
 After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all op enings to prevent entry of dust and moisture.
 When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation.
Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other compon ents until just before required for connection.
 Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
 Thoroughly remove moisture from the refriger ation system before charging the refrigerant.
 Always replace used O-rings.
 When connecting tubes, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not
to apply lubricant to threaded portion.
 O-ring must be closely att ached to the groove of tube.
 When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
 Connect tube until a click can be heard, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Make sure that the O-
ring is installed to tube correctly.
 After connecting line, perform leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the refrigerant leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.
Precaution for Service of CompressorINFOID:0000000001328156
 Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
 When the compressor is removed, store it in th e same way at it is when mounted on the car.
 When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor”
exactly. Refer to ATC-22, "
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor".
 Keep friction surfaces between clut ch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated with lubricant,
wipe it off by using a clean w aste cloth moistened with thinner.
 After compressor service operation, turn the compr essor shaft by hand more than five turns in both
directions. This will equally dist ribute lubricant inside the compressor. After the compressor is
installed, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for one hour.
 After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, ap ply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation.
