S CONNECTOR CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000009461231
The starter motor magnetic switch is supplied with power when the ignition switch is turned to the START posi-
tion while the selector lever is in the P (Park) or N (Neutral) position.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000009461232
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to STR-7, "Wiring Diagram".
CAUTION:
Perform diagnosis under the condi tion that engine cannot start by the following procedure.
1. Remove fuel pump fuse.
2. Crank or start the engine (where possi ble) until the fuel pressure is released.
1.CHECK “S” CONNECTOR CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect starter motor connector.
3. Shift selector lever to “P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral) position.
4. Check voltage between starter motor harness con nector F28 (QR25DE) or F81 (VQ35DE) and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> “S” circuit is OK. Further inspection is necessary. Refer to STR-12, "Work Flow (With GR8-1200
NI)" or STR-16, "Work Flow (Without GR8-1200 NI)".
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK HARNESS CONTI NUITY (OPEN CIRCUIT)
1. Disconnect IPDM E/R connector.
2. Check continuity between starter motor harness connector F28 (QR25DE) or F81 (VQ35DE) and the
IPDM E/R harness connector F10.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Further inspection is necessary. Refer to STR-12, "Work Flow (With GR8-1200 NI)" or STR-16,
"Work Flow (Without GR8-1200 NI)".
NO >> Repair or replace the harness or connectors.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951696
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. Information necessary to service t he system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent 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 Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric 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 three mi nutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000009463955
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc to prevent damage to
windshield.
Precaution for TCM and Tran saxle Assembly ReplacementINFOID:0000000009463956
CAUTION:
• To replace TCM, refer to TM-80, "Description"
.
• To replace transaxle assembly, refer to TM-81, "Description"

On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of CVT and EngineINFOID:0000000009463958
The TCM and ECM have an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to
warn the driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and di sconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal
before any repair or inspection work. The open/s hort circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid
valves, etc. will cause the MIL to light up.
• Be sure to connect and lock the connectors secure ly after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
• Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to a short circuit.
• Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly afte r work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system, etc.
• Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction informa tion (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
Removal and Installation Proc edure for CVT Unit ConnectorINFOID:0000000009463959
REMOVAL
• Rotate bayonet ring (1) counterclockwise. Pull out CVT unit har-
ness connector (2) upward and remove it.
INSTALLATION
1. Align marking (A) on CVT unit harness connector terminal with
marking (B) on bayonet ring. Insert CVT unit harness connector.
2. Rotate bayonet ring clockwise.
3. Rotate bayonet ring clockwise until marking (A) on CVT unit har- ness connector terminal body is aligned with the slit (B) on bayo-
net ring as shown in the figure (correctly fitting condition).

TORQUE CONVERTER (WITH LOCK-UP FUNCTION)
In the same way as a conventional A/T, the torque c onverter is a system that increases the engine torque and
transmits the torque to the transaxle. A symmetr ical 3-element, 1-stage, 2-phase type is used here.
OIL PUMP
Utilizes a vane-type oil pump that is driven by the engi ne through the oil pump drive chain in order to increase
efficiency of pump discharge volume in low-speed zone and optimize pump discharge volume in high-speed
zone. Discharged oil from oil pump is transmitted to contro l valve. It is used as the oil of primary and second-
ary pulley operation, the oil of clutch operation, and the lubricant for each part.
PLANETARY GEAR
• A planetary gear type of forward/reverse selector me chanism is installed between the torque converter and
primary pulley.
• The power from the torque converter is input via the i nput shaft, operating a wet multi-plate clutch by means
of hydraulic pressure to switch between forward and reverse driving.
Operation of Planetary gear
BELT & PULLEY
It is composed of a pair of pulleys (the groove width is changed freely in the axial direction) and the steel belt
(the steel plates are placed conti nuously and the belt is guided with the multilayer steel rings on both sides).

FINAL DRIVE AND DIFFERENTIAL
The deceleration gears are composed of 2 stages: primar y deceleration (output gear, idler gear pair) and sec-
ondary deceleration (reduction gear, final gear pa ir). All of these gears are helical gears.
