•
Before replacing TCM, perform TCM input/output signal
inspection and make sure whether TCM functions properly or
not. CVT-49, " TCM Terminal and Reference Value " .
• After performing each TROUBL E DIAGNOSIS, perform “DTC
Confirmation Procedure”.
If the repair is completed the DTC should not be displayed in
the “DTC Confirmation Procedure”.
• Always use the specified br and of CVT fluid. Refer to MA-14, " Flu-
ids and Lubricants " .
• Use lint-free paper, not cloth rags, during work.
• After replacing the CVT fluid, dispose of the waste oil using the methods prescribed by law, ordinance, etc.
Service Notice or Precaution INFOID:0000000004666859
CVT FLUID COOLER SERVICE If CVT fluid contains friction material (clutches, brakes , etc.), or if an CVT is replaced, inspect and clean the
CVT fluid cooler mounted in the radiator or replace t he radiator. Flush cooler lines using cleaning solvent and
compressed air after repair. For CVT fluid cooler cleaning procedure, refer to CVT-18, " CVT Fluid Cooler
Cleaning " . For radiator replacement, refer to
CO-38 .
OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSIS • CVT self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in comb ination with the ECM. The results can be read through
the blinking pattern of the malfunction indi cator lamp (MIL). Refer to the table on CVT-51, " 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 CVT-30, " 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-541, " Introduction " .
• Certain systems and components, especially those re lated to OBD, may use the new style slide-lock-
ing type harness connector. For descripti on and how to disconnect, refer to PG-64 . MEF040DA

(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil (exc. LSD) at
every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months, and change LSD gear oil every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months.
(2) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deteriorati on with CON-
SULT-III every 60,000 miles (96,000 km), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. If CONSULT-III is not available, change (not just
inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 60,000 miles (96,000 km). Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will
damage the CVT, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
(3) Refer to “Tire rotation” under the “GENERAL MAINTENANCE” heading earlier in this section.
