A/T FLUID
1. Install the O-ring (315268E000) (A) to the charging pipe
(310811EA5A) (B).
2. Start the engine.
3. Make the ATF temperature approximately 40 °C (104 °F).
NOTE:
The ATF level is greatly affected by the temperature. Always
check the ATF temperature on “ATF TEMP 1” of “Data Monitor”
using CONSULT-III.
4. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
5. Shift the selector lever through each gear position. Leave selec- tor lever in “P” position.
6. Lift up the vehicle.
7. Check the ATF leakage from transmission.
8. Remove overflow plug from oil pan.
9. Install the charging pipe (A) to the overflow plug hole. CAUTION:
Tighten the charging pipe by hand.
10. Install the bucket pump hose (B) to the charging pipe. CAUTION:
Insert the bucket pump hose all the way to the end of the
charging pipe.
11. Fill approximately 0.5 liters (1/2 US qt, 1/2 lmp qt) of the ATF.
12. Check that the ATF leaks when removing the charging pipe and the bucket pump hose. If the A TF does not leak, refill the ATF.
CAUTION:
Perform “Step 12” with the engine at idle.
13. When the ATF starts to drip, tighten the overflow pl ug to the oil pan to the specified torque. Refer to TM-
182, "Exploded View".
CAUTION:
Never reuse overflow plug.

A/T FLUID COOLER
CleaningINFOID:0000000006233276
Whenever an A/T is replaced, the A/ T fluid cooler mounted in the radiator must be inspected and cleaned.
Metal debris and friction material, if present, can becom e trapped in the A/T fluid cooler. This debris can con-
taminate the newly serviced A/T or, in severe cases, can bl ock or restrict the flow of ATF. In either case, mal-
function of the newly se rviced A/T may result.
Debris, if present, may build up as ATF enters the cooler inlet. It will be necessary to back flush the cooler
through the cooler outlet in order to flush out any built up debris.
CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. Position an oil pan under the A/T inlet and outlet cooler hoses.
2. Identify the inlet and outlet fluid cooler hoses.
3. Disconnect the A/T fluid cooler inlet and outlet rubber hoses
from the steel cooler tubes or by-pass valve.
NOTE:
Replace the cooler hoses if rubber material from the hose
remains on the tube fitting.
4. Allow any ATF that remains in the cooler hoses to drain into the oil pan.
5. Insert the extension adapter hose of a can of Transmission Cooler Cleaner (Nissan P/N 999MP-AM006) into the cooler out-
let hose.
CAUTION:
 Wear safety glasses and rubber gloves when spraying theTransmission Cooler Cleaner.
 Spray Transmission Cooler Cleaner only with adequate
ventilation.
 Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
 Never breath vapors or spray mist.
6. Hold the hose and can as high as possible and spray Transmis- sion Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream into the cooler outlet
hose until ATF flows out of the cooler inlet hose for 5 seconds.
7. Insert the tip of an air gun into the end of the cooler outlet hose.
8. Wrap a shop rag around the air gun tip and of the cooler outlet hose.
9. Blow compressed air regulated to 5 to 9 kg/cm
2 (71 to 128 psi)
through the cooler outlet hose for 10 seconds to force out any
remaining ATF.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 three additional times.
11. Position an oil pan under the banjo bolts that connect the A/T fluid cooler steel lines to the A/T.
12. Remove the banjo bolts.
13. Flush each steel line from the cooler side back toward the A/T by spraying Transmission Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream for 5 seconds.
14. Blow compressed air regulated to 5 to 9 kg/cm
2 (71 to 128 psi) through each steel line from the cooler
side back toward the A/T for 10 seconds to force out any remaining ATF.
15. Ensure all debris is removed from the steel cooler lines.
16. Ensure all debris is removed from the banjo bolts and fittings.
17. Perform “DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE”.

A/T FLUID COOLER
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Insufficient cleaning of the cooler inlet hose exte
rior may lead to inaccurate debris identification.
1. Position an oil pan under the A/T inlet and outlet cooler hoses.
2. Clean the exterior and tip of the cooler inlet hose.
3. Insert the extension adapter hose of a can of Transmission
Cooler Cleaner (Nissan P/N 999MP-AM006) into the cooler out-
let hose.
CAUTION:
 Wear safety glasses and rubber gloves when spraying the Transmission Cooler Cleaner.
 Spray Transmission Cooler Cleaner only with adequate
ventilation.
 Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
 Never breath vapors or spray mist.
4. Hold the hose and can as high as possible and spray Transmis- sion Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream into the cooler outlet
hose until ATF flows out of the cooler inlet hose for 5 seconds.
5. Tie a common white, basket-type coffee filter to the end of the cooler inlet hose.
6. Insert the tip of an air gun into the end of the cooler outlet hose.
7. Wrap a shop rag around the air gun tip and end of cooler outlet hose.
8. Blow compressed air regulated to 5 to 9 kg/cm
2 (71 to 128 psi)
through the cooler outlet hose to force any remaining ATF into
the coffee filter.
9. Remove the coffee filter from the end of the cooler inlet hose.
10. Perform “INSPECTION PROCEDURE”.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Inspect the coffee filter for debris.
a. If small metal debris less than 1 mm (0.040 in) in size or metal powder is found in the coffee filter, this is normal. If normal
debris is found, the A/T fluid cooler/radiator can be re-used and
the procedure is ended.
