2. Adjust the height of the target board stand so that the point of the triangle aims the cent er of the ICC sensor.
ADJUSTING THE RIGHT-LEFT POSITION OF THE TARGET
1. Attach a scale [at least 350 mm (14 in) or longer] or stick as
shown in the figure.
2. Suspend a thread with weight on the tip of the thread to 310 mm (12.2 in) left side of the target board from the center of the target
board on top.
SETTING THE TARGET
1. Suspend a thread with weight on tip to splice the cent er of the front and rear bumpers. Then, mark the
center point on the ground as each weight points.
2. Link the front and rear bumpers center points ma rked on the ground, and mark a point 5 m (16.4 ft) ahead
of the sensor, on the extended line of the previous lin k line of the bumper center points. Then, adjust the
position of the target board so that the weight come on the top of the marked point [5 m (16.4 ft) ahead of
the sensor] and face to the vehicle.
3. Adjust the position of the target board so that the extended line that links the center of the rear window glass (the center of the
rear window defogger pattern) and the center of the windshield
(the setting part of the room mirror) align with the weight sus-
pended from the board.
4. Remove the thread suspended to the left side of board and sus- pend a thread with weight on tip on the center of the target
board. Then mark the point of weight on the ground.

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
.

The A/T uses compact triple planetary gear systems to improve power transmission efficiency, simplify con-
struction and reduce weight.
It also employs an optimum shift control and super wide gear ratios. They improve starting performance and
acceleration during medium and high-speed operation.

Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. T he HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.
REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE
Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controls
refrigerant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2
″-16 ACME.
CHARGING CYLINDER
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder’s top valve
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accura cy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an
electrical scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.
Precaution for Leak Detection DyeINFOID:0000000001328158
 The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dy e used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet
(UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
 Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
 The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995). The flu-
orescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunc tion with an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995) to
pin-point refrigerant leaks.
 For the purpose of safety and customer’s satisfacti on, read and follow all manufacture’s operating instruc-
tions and precautions prior to performing the work.
 A compressor shaft seal should not necessarily be re paired because of dye seepage. The compressor shaft
seal should only be repaired after confirming the l eak with an electrical leak detector (SST: J-41995).
 Always remove any remaining dye from the leak area after repairs are completed to avoid a misdiagnosis during a future service.
 Never allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. If dye is spilled, clean
immediately with the approved dye cleaner. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an extended period of time
cannot be removed.
 Never spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
 Never use more than one refrigerant dye bot tle (1/4 ounce /7.4 cc) per A/C system.
 Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems are different. Never use HFC-
134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/ C system, or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection dye in
HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system, or A/C system damage may result.
 The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for thr ee years or a little over unless a compressor malfunc-
tion occurs.
IDENTIFICATION
NOTE:
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have a green label.
Vehicles without factory installed fluorescent dye have a blue label.
