Precaution for Supplemental Restraint S
ystem (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000006226734
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and w hether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision that would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
 Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.
 Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
 When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s)
with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly
causing serious injury.
 When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery, and wait at least 3 minu tes before performing any service.
General PrecautionsINFOID:0000000006226735
Turn ignition switch OFF an d disconnect the battery cable
from the negative terminal before connecting or disconnect-
ing the A/T assembly connector. Because battery voltage is
applied to TCM even if igniti on switch is turned OFF.
 Perform “DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE” after performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS.
If the repair is completed DTC should not be displayed in the
“DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE”.
 Always use the specified brand of ATF. Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids
and Lubricants".
 Use lint-free paper not cloth rags during work.
 Dispose of the waste oil using the methods prescribed by law, ordi-
nance, etc. after replacing the ATF.
 Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the transmission. It is important to prevent the internal parts from
becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : High and Lo w Reverse Clutch Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226748
 The high and low reverse clutch solenoid valve is controlled by the TCM in response to signals transmitted
from the transmission range switch, output speed sens or and accelerator pedal position sensor. Gears will
then be shifted to the optimum position.
 The high and low reverse clutch solenoid valve controls the high and low reverse clutch control valve in response to a signal transmitted from the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Lo w Brake Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226749
 The low brake solenoid valve is controlled by the TC M in response to signals transmitted from the transmis-
sion range switch, output speed sensor and accelerator pedal position sensor. Gears will then be shifted to
the optimum position.
 The low brake solenoid valve controls the low brake control valve in response to a signal transmitted from
the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Anti-interlock Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226750
 Anti-interlock solenoid valve prevents the simultaneous activation of the input clutch and the low brake.
 The anti-interlock solenoid valve is an ON/OFF type solenoid valve.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : 2 346 Brake Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226751
 The 2346 brake solenoid valve is controlled by the TC M in response to signals transmitted from the trans-
mission range switch, output speed sensor and accelera tor pedal position sensor. Gears will then be shifted
to the optimum position.
 The 2346 brake solenoid valve controls the 2346 brake c ontrol valve in response to a signal transmitted from
the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Torque Co nverter Clutch Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226752
The torque converter clutch solenoid va lve is activated, with the gear in D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, M2, M3, M4,
M5, M6 and M7 by the TCM in response to signals tr ansmitted from the output speed sensor and accelerator
pedal position sensor. Torque converter clut ch piston operation will then be controlled.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Line Pressure Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226753
The line pressure solenoid valve regulates the oil pum p discharge pressure to suit the driving condition in
response to a signal transmitted from the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Accele rator Pedal Position SensorINFOID:0000000006226754
 The accelerator pedal position sensor is installed on the upper end of the accelerator pedal assembly.
 The accelerator pedal position sensor detects the accelerator position.
 The accelerator pedal position sensor transform the a ccelerator pedal position into output voltage, and emit
the voltage signal to the ECM. Then, the TCM receives accelerator pedal position signal from the ECM via
CAN communication.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Manual Mode SwitchINFOID:0000000006226755
 The manual mode switch [mode select switch and position se lect switch (shift-up/shift-down)] is installed in
the A/T shift selector assembly.
 The mode select switch detects the position (the main shift gate side or manual shift gate side) of the selec-
tor lever and transmits a manual mode signal or a not manual mode signal to the combination meter. Then,
the TCM receives a manual mode signal or non-manual mode signal from the combination meter.
 The position select switch (shift-up) detects that the se lector lever is shifted to the shift-up side of the manual
shift gate and transmits a manual mode shift up signal to the combination meter. Then, the TCM receives a
manual mode shift up signal from the combination meter.
 The position select switch (shift-down) detects that the selector lever is shifted to the shift-down side of the
manual shift gate and transmits a manual mode shift down signal to the combination meter. Then, the TCM
receives a manual mode shift down signal from the combination meter.

LINE PRESSURE CONTROL
LINE PRESSURE CONTROL : System DiagramINFOID:0000000006226771
LINE PRESSURE CONTROL : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006226772
 When an engine and A/T integrated control signal (engine
torque) equivalent to the engine drive force is
transmitted from the ECM to the TCM, the TC M controls the line pressure solenoid valve.
This line pressure solenoid controls the pressure regul ator valve as the signal pressure and adjusts the pres-
sure of the operating oil discharged from the oil pump to the line pressure most appropriate to the driving
state.
 The TCM has stored in memory a number of patterns fo r the optimum line pressure characteristic for the
driving state.
 In order to obtain the most appropriate line pressure char acteristic to meet the current driving state, the TCM
controls the line pressure solenoid current value and thus controls the line pressure.
Normal Control
Each clutch is adjusted to the necessary pressure to match the
engine drive force.
