< PRECAUTION >
PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000008747305
The Supplemental Restraint System such as AIR BAG and SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER, used along C
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
TM
WARNING:
To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, 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.
E
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
F
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness connectors.
G
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag 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 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover
INFOID:0000000008138821
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 Transaxle Assembly Replacement
INFOID:0000000008138822
CAUTION:
To replace TCM, refer to TM-80, "Description".
To replace transaxle assembly, refer to TM-81, "Description".

PRECAUTIONS
[CVT: RE0F10D]
< PRECAUTION >
General Precautions
INFOID:0000000008138824
Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery cable

from the negative terminal before connecting or disconnecting the CVT assembly harness connector. Because battery
voltage is applied to TCM even if ignition switch is turned
OFF.
SEF289H
When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or

from TCM, do not damage pin terminals (bend or break).
Check that there are not any bends or breaks on TCM pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
AAT470A
Perform TCM input/output signal inspection and check

whether TCM functions normally or not before replacing TCM.
Refer to TM-49, "Reference Value".
MEF040DA
Perform DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION

PROCEDURE.
If the repair is completed DTC should not be displayed in the
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE.
JSBIA1315ZZ
Always use the specified brand of CVT fluid. Refer to MA-20, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubricants" (For USA and Canada), MA-21, "FOR MEXICO : Fluids and Lubricants" (For Mexico).
Use lint-free paper not cloth rags during work.
Dispose of the waste oil using the methods prescribed by law, ordinance, etc. after replacing the CVT fluid.

On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of CVT and Engine
INFOID:0000000008138825
Removal and Installation Procedure for CVT Unit Connector
INFOID:0000000008138826
A
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:
B
Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal
before any repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid
valves, etc. will cause the MIL to light up.
Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will C
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 TM
bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to a short circuit.
Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube

TORQUE CONVERTER (WITH LOCK-UP FUNCTION)

In the same way as a conventional A/T, the torque converter is a system that increases the engine torque and
transmits the torque to the transaxle. A symmetrical 3-element, 1-stage, 2-phase type is used here.
OIL PUMP
Utilizes a vane-type oil pump that is driven by the engine 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 control valve. It is used as the oil of primary and secondary pulley operation, the oil of clutch operation, and the lubricant for each part.
PLANETARY GEAR
A planetary gear type of forward/reverse selector mechanism is installed between the torque converter and
primary pulley.
The power from the torque converter is input via the input shaft, operating a wet multi-plate clutch by means
of hydraulic pressure to switch between forward and reverse driving.

JSDIA2426GB
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 continuously and the belt is guided with the multilayer steel rings on both sides).
TM-23
2013 Altima Sedan

[CVT: RE0F10D]
The groove width changes according to wrapping radius of steel belt and pulley from low status to overdrive
status continuously with non-step. It is controlled with the oil pressures of primary pulley and secondary pulley.
JSDIA2428GB
Steel Belt
It is composed of multiple steel plates (A) and two steel rings (B)
stacked to a several number. The feature of this steel belt transmits
power with compression of the steel plate in contrast with transmission of power in pulling with a rubber belt. Friction force is required
with the pulley slope to transmit power from the steel plate. The force
is generated with the following mechanism:
Oil pressure applies to the secondary pulley to nip the plate. The
plate is pushed and extended outward. The steel ring shows withstands. Pulling force is generated on the steel ring. The plate of
the primary pulley is nipped between the pulley. Friction force is
generated between the steel belt and the pulley.
JSDIA2431ZZ
Therefore, responsibilities are divided by the steel plate that transmits the power with compression and the steel ring that maintains necessary friction force. In this way, the
tension of the steel ring is distributed on the entire surface and stress variation is limited, resulting in good
durability.
Pulley
The primary pulley (input shaft side) and the secondary pulley (output shaft side) have the shaft with slope
(fixed cone surface), movable sheave (movable cone surface that can move in the axial direction) and oil pressure chamber at the back of the movable sheave.
TM-24
2013 Altima Sedan

[CVT: RE0F10D]
The movable sheave slides on the shaft to change the groove width of the pulley. Input signals of engine load
(accelerator pedal opening), primary pulley speed and secondary pulley speed change the operation pressures of the primary pulley and the secondary pulley, and controls the pulley groove width.

CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Protection Control
INFOID:0000000008831966
The TCM becomes the protection control status temporarily to protect the safety when the safety of TCM and
transmission is lost. It automatically returns to the normal status if the safety is secured.
The TCM has the following protection control.
CONTROL FOR WHEEL SPIN

Control
When a wheel spin is detected, the engine output and gear ratio are limited and the line pressure is increased.
Limits engine output when a wheel spin occurs in any of right and left drive wheels.
Vehicle behavior in
control
If the accelerator is kept depressing during wheel spin, the engine revolution and vehicle speed are limited to
a certain degree.
Normal return condition
Wheel spin convergence returns the control to the normal control.
TORQUE IS REDUCED WHEN DRIVING WITH THE REVERSE GEAR

Control
Engine output is controlled according to a vehicle speed while reversing the vehicle.
Vehicle behavior in
control
Power performance may be lowered while reversing the vehicle.
Torque returns to normal by positioning the selector lever in a range other than R position.
CONTROL WHEN FLUID TEMPERATURE IS HIGH

Control
When the CVT fluid temperature is high, the gear shift permission maximum revolution and the maximum
torque are reduced than usual to prevent increase of the oil temperature.
Vehicle behavior in
control
Power performance may be lowered, compared to normal control.
The control returns to the normal control when CVT fluid temperature is lowered.

REVERSE PROHIBIT CONTROL
A
Control
The reverse brake is controlled to avoid becoming engaged when the selector lever is set in R position while
driving in forward direction at more than the specified speed.
Vehicle behavior in
control
If the selector lever is put at R position when driving with the forward gear, the gear becomes neutral, not
reverse.
The control returns to normal control when the vehicle is driven at low speeds. (The reverse brake becomes
engaged.)

JSDIA3781GB
DESCRIPTION
Highly accurate line pressure control (secondary pressure control) reduces friction for improvement of fuel
economy.
Normal Oil Pressure Control
Appropriate line pressure and secondary pressure suitable for driving condition are determined based on the
accelerator pedal position, engine speed, primary pulley (input) speed, secondary pulley (output) speed, vehicle speed, input torque, stop lamp switch signal, transmission range switch signal, lock-up signal, power voltage, target shift ratio, oil temperature, oil pressure, and overdrive control switch signal.
Secondary Pressure Feedback Control
In normal oil pressure control and oil pressure control in shifting, highly accurate secondary pressure is determined by detecting the secondary pressure using an oil pressure sensor and by feedback control.

DESCRIPTION
To select the gear ratio that can give the driving force to meet driver's intent or vehicle situation, the vehicle
driving condition such as vehicle speed or accelerator pedal position is detected and the most appropriate
gear ratio is selected and the shifting method before reaching the speed is determined. The information is output to the primary pressure solenoid valve and secondary pressure solenoid valve to control the line pressure
input/output to the pulley, to determine the pulley (movable pulley) position and to control the gear position.

Hill Climbing And Descending Control

If a downhill is detected with the accelerator pedal is released, the system performs downshift to increase the
engine brake force so that vehicle may not be accelerated more than necessary. If a climbing hill is detected,
the system improves the acceleration performance in re-acceleration by limiting the gear shift range on the
high side.
NOTE:
For engine brake control on a downhill, the control can be stopped with CONSULT.
P
JSDIA2060GB
Control In Acceleration
From change of the vehicle speed or accelerator pedal position, the acceleration request level of the driver or
driving scene is evaluated. In start or acceleration during driving, the gear shift characteristics with linearity of
revolution increase and vehicle speed increase are gained to improve the acceleration feel.

DESCRIPTION
Controls for improvement of the transmission efficiency by engaging the torque converter clutch in the
torque converter and eliminating slip of the converter. Achieves comfortable driving with slip control of the
torque converter clutch.
The oil pressure feed circuit for the torque converter clutch piston chamber is connected to the torque converter clutch control valve. The torque converter clutch control valve is switched by the torque converter
clutch solenoid valve with the signal from TCM. This controls the oil pressure circuit, which is supplied to the
torque converter clutch piston chamber, to the release side or engagement side.
If the CVT fluid temperature is low or the vehicle is in fail-safe mode due to malfunction, lock-up control is
prohibited.
Lock-up engagement
In lock-up engagement, the torque converter clutch solenoid valve makes the torque converter clutch control
valve locked up to generate the lock-up apply pressure. This pushes the torque converter clutch piston for
engagement.
Lock-up release condition
In lock-up release, the torque converter clutch solenoid valve makes the torque converter clutch control valve
non-locked up to drain the lock-up apply pressure. This does not engage the torque converter clutch piston.

1 TRIP DETECTION DIAGNOSIS

When initial malfunction is detected, TCM memorizes DTC. In these diagnoses, some illuminate MIL and
TM
some do not. Refer to TM-60, "DTC Index".

When initial malfunction is detected, TCM memorizes DTC of the 1st trip. MIL does not light at this stage. <1

RELATION BETWEEN DTC AT 1ST TRIP/DTC/MIL AND DRIVING CONDITIONS (FOR 2 TRIP DETECTION DIAGNOSIS THAT ILLUMINATES MIL)
INFOID:0000000008138874
TCM not only detects DTC, but also sends the MIL signal to ECM through CAN communication. ECM sends
the MIL signal to the combination meter through CAN communication according to the signal, and illuminates MIL.
For malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) description, refer to EC-74, "DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL)".
The DTC number of the 1st trip is the same as the DTC number.
When a malfunction is detected at the 1st trip, TCM memorizes DTC of the 1st trip. MIL does not light at this
stage. If the same malfunction is not detected at the 2nd trip (conforming to necessary driving conditions),
DTC at the 1st trip is erased from TCM. If the same malfunction is detected at the 2nd trip, TCM memorizes
DTC and MIL lights at the same time.
The DTC of the 1st trip is specified in Service $01 of SAE J1979/ISO 15031-5. Since detection of DTC at the
1st trip does not illuminate MIL, warning for a problem is not given to a driver.
For procedure to delete DTC and 1st trip DTC from TCM, refer to TM-43, "CONSULT Function".
If DTC of the 1st trip is detected, it is necessary to check the cause according to the Diagnosis flow. Refer
to TM-77, "Flowchart of Trouble Diagnosis".

CONSULT DATA MONITOR STANDARD VALUE

In CONSULT, electric shift timing or lock-up timing, i.e. operation timing of each solenoid valve, is displayed. C
Therefore, if there is an obvious difference between the shift timing estimated from a shift shock (or engine
speed variations) and that shown on the CONSULT, the mechanism parts (including the hydraulic circuit)
excluding the solenoids and sensors may be malfunctioning. In this case, check the mechanical parts followTM
ing the appropriate diagnosis procedure.
Shift point (gear position) displayed on CONSULT slightly differs from shift pattern described in Service Manual. This is due to the following reasons.
- Actual shift pattern may vary slightly within specified tolerances.
E
- While shift pattern described in Service Manual indicates start of each shift, CONSULT shows gear position
at end of shift.
- The solenoid display (ON/OFF) on CONSULT is changed at the start of gear shifting. In contrast, the gear

Question sheet
INFOID:0000000008138886
DESCRIPTION
There are many operating conditions that may cause a malfunction
of the transmission parts. By understanding those conditions properly, a quick and exact diagnosis can be achieved.
In general, perception of a problem varies depending on individuals.
Ask the customer about his/her concerns carefully. It is important to
understand the phenomenon or status. To systemize all the information for the diagnosis, prepare the question sheet referring to the
question points.
In some cases, multiple conditions that appear simultaneously may
cause a DTC to be detected.

Description
INFOID:0000000008138918
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real-time application. It is an on-vehicle multiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent malfunction detection ability.
Many electronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links
with other control units during operation (not independently). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2 communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission
with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000008748329
The Supplemental Restraint System such as AIR BAG and SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, 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 incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness connectors.

< PRECAUTION >
On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of CVT and Engine
INFOID:0000000008144891
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 disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal
before any repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid
valves, etc. will cause the MIL to light up.
Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely 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 after 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 information (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.

TORQUE CONVERTER (WITH LOCK-UP FUNCTION)

In the same way as a conventional A/T, the torque converter is a system that increases the engine torque and
transmits the torque to the transaxle. A symmetrical 3-element, 1-stage, 2-phase type is used here.
OIL PUMP
Utilizes a vane-type oil pump that is driven by the engine 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 control valve. It is used as the oil of primary and secondary pulley operation, the oil of clutch operation, and the lubricant for each part.
PLANETARY GEAR
A planetary gear type of forward/reverse selector mechanism is installed between the torque converter and
primary pulley.
The power from the torque converter is input via the input shaft, operating a wet multi-plate clutch by means
of hydraulic pressure to switch between forward and reverse driving.

engine coolant respectively so that warmed engine coolant warms
CVT quickly. This helps shorten CVT warming up time, improving
fuel economy.
A cooling effect is obtained when CVT fluid temperature is high.

SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM

SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM : System Description
INFOID:0000000008659903
The shift lever cannot be shifted from the P position unless the brake pedal is depressed while the ignition
switch is set to ON. The shift lock is unlocked by turning the shift lock solenoid ON when the ignition switch is
set to ON, the park position switch is turned ON (selector lever is in P position), and the stop lamp switch is
turned ON (brake pedal is depressed) as shown in the operation chart in the figure. Therefore, the shift lock
solenoid receives no ON signal and the shift lock remains locked if all of the above conditions are not fulfilled.
However, selector operation is allowed if the shift lock release button is pressed.

SHIFT LOCK OPERATION AT P POSITION
[CVT: RE0F10E]
A
When Brake Pedal Is Not Depressed (No Selector Operation Allowed)
The shift lock solenoid (A) is turned OFF (not energized) and the
solenoid rod (B) is extended with the spring when the brake pedal is
not depressed (no selector operation allowed) with the ignition
switch ON.
The connecting lock lever (C) is located at the position shown in the
figure when the solenoid rod is extended. It prevents the movement
of the detent rod (D). For these reasons, the selector lever cannot be
shifted from the P position.
TM
JPDIA0612ZZ
When Brake Pedal Is Depressed (Shift Operation Allowed)
The shift lock solenoid (A) is turned ON (energized) when the brake
pedal is depressed with the ignition switch ON. The solenoid rod (B)
is compressed by the electromagnetic force. The connecting lock
lever (C) rotates when the solenoid is activated. Therefore, the
detent rod (D) can be moved. For these reasons, the selector lever
can be shifted to other positions.
JPDIA0613ZZ
P POSITION HOLD MECHANISM (IGNITION SWITCH LOCK)

The shift lock solenoid (A) is not energized when the ignition switch
is in any position other than ON. In this condition, the shift mechanism is locked and P position is held. The operation cannot be performed from P position if the brake pedal is depressed with the
ignition switch ON when the operation system of shift lock solenoid is
malfunctioning. However, the lock lever (B) is forcibly rotated and the
shift lock is released when the shift lock release button (C) is
pressed from above. Then the selector operation from P position
can be performed.

DESCRIPTION
Highly accurate line pressure control (secondary pressure control) reduces friction for improvement of fuel
economy.
Normal Oil Pressure Control
Appropriate line pressure and secondary pressure suitable for driving condition are determined based on the
accelerator pedal position, engine speed, primary pulley (input) speed, secondary pulley (output) speed, vehicle speed, input torque, stop lamp switch signal, transmission range switch signal, lock-up signal, power voltage, target shift ratio, oil temperature, oil pressure, and paddle shift (up/down) signal.
Secondary Pressure Feedback Control
In normal oil pressure control and oil pressure control in shifting, highly accurate secondary pressure is determined by detecting the secondary pressure using an oil pressure sensor and by feedback control.

Hill Climbing And Descending Control

If a downhill is detected with the accelerator pedal is released, the system performs downshift to increase the
engine brake force so that vehicle may not be accelerated more than necessary. If a climbing hill is detected,
the system improves the acceleration performance in re-acceleration by limiting the gear shift range on the
high side.
NOTE:
For engine brake control on a downhill, the control can be stopped with CONSULT.

DESCRIPTION
Controls for improvement of the transmission efficiency by engaging the torque converter clutch in the
torque converter and eliminating slip of the converter. Achieves comfortable driving with slip control of the
torque converter clutch.
The oil pressure feed circuit for the torque converter clutch piston chamber is connected to the torque converter clutch control valve. The torque converter clutch control valve is switched by the torque converter
clutch solenoid valve with the signal from TCM. This controls the oil pressure circuit, which is supplied to the
torque converter clutch piston chamber, to the release side or engagement side.
If the CVT fluid temperature is low or the vehicle is in fail-safe mode due to malfunction, lock-up control is
prohibited.
Lock-up engagement
In lock-up engagement, the torque converter clutch solenoid valve makes the torque converter clutch control
valve locked up to generate the lock-up apply pressure. This pushes the torque converter clutch piston for
engagement.
Lock-up release condition
In lock-up release, the torque converter clutch solenoid valve makes the torque converter clutch control valve
non-locked up to drain the lock-up apply pressure. This does not engage the torque converter clutch piston.

RELATION BETWEEN DTC AT 1ST TRIP/DTC/MIL AND DRIVING CONDITIONS (FOR 2 TRIP DETECTION DIAGNOSIS THAT ILLUMINATES MIL)
INFOID:0000000008144940
TCM not only detects DTC, but also sends the MIL signal to ECM through CAN communication. ECM sends
the MIL signal to the combination meter through CAN communication according to the signal, and illuminates MIL.
For malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) description, refer to EC-597, "DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)".
The DTC number of the 1st trip is the same as the DTC number.
When a malfunction is detected at the 1st trip, TCM memorizes DTC of the 1st trip. MIL does not light at this
stage. If the same malfunction is not detected at the 2nd trip (conforming to necessary driving conditions),
DTC at the 1st trip is erased from TCM. If the same malfunction is detected at the 2nd trip, TCM memorizes
DTC and MIL lights at the same time.
The DTC of the 1st trip is specified in Service $01 of SAE J1979/ISO 15031-5. Since detection of DTC at the
1st trip does not illuminate MIL, warning for a problem is not given to a driver.
For procedure to delete DTC and 1st trip DTC from TCM, refer to TM-247, "CONSULT Function".
If DTC of the 1st trip is detected, it is necessary to check the cause according to the Diagnosis flow. Refer

ECU DIAGNOSIS INFORMATION
TCM
Reference Value
INFOID:0000000008738159
CONSULT DATA MONITOR STANDARD VALUE

In CONSULT, electric shift timing or lock-up timing, i.e. operation timing of each solenoid valve, is displayed. C
Therefore, if there is an obvious difference between the shift timing estimated from a shift shock (or engine
speed variations) and that shown on the CONSULT, the mechanism parts (including the hydraulic circuit)
excluding the solenoids and sensors may be malfunctioning. In this case, check the mechanical parts followTM
ing the appropriate diagnosis procedure.
Shift point (gear position) displayed on CONSULT slightly differs from shift pattern described in Service Manual. This is due to the following reasons.
- Actual shift pattern may vary slightly within specified tolerances.
E
- While shift pattern described in Service Manual indicates start of each shift, CONSULT shows gear position
at end of shift.
- The solenoid display (ON/OFF) on CONSULT is changed at the start of gear shifting. In contrast, the gear
F
position display is changed at the time when gear shifting calculated in the control unit is completed.

-
Before checking the malfunction, check whether any DTC exists.

If DTC exists, perform the following operations.
Records the DTCs. (Print out using CONSULT and affix to the Work Order Sheet.)
Erase DTCs.
Check the relation between the cause found by DTC and the malfunction information from customer. TM373, "Symptom Table" can be used effectively.
3. Check the relevant information including STI, etc.
Do malfunction information and DTC exist?

Description
INFOID:0000000008747324
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real-time application. It is an on-vehicle multiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent malfunction detection ability.
Many electronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links
with other control units during operation (not independently). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2 communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission
with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
