PRECAUTION A
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT B
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000012601473

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.
WARNING: TM
• 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, it is recommended that all mainte-
nance and repair be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer. E
• Improper repair, 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 har-
ness connectors.

• 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-12, "Fluids and Lubricants".
• 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:0000000012601477

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.

Revision: November 2015 TM-10 2016 Altima Sedan


PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [CVT: RE0F10D]
CAUTION:
• Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal A
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
B
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. C
• 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 TM
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.

TORQUE CONVERTER (WITH LOCK-UP FUNCTION) E


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.
F
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 second- G
ary pulley operation, the oil of clutch operation, and the lubricant for each part.
PLANETARY GEAR
H
• 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. I

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).
P

Revision: November 2015 TM-23 2016 Altima Sedan


STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION > [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.

cardiagn.com
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 transmis-
sion 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 with-
stands. ⇒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 trans-
mits 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 pres-
sure chamber at the back of the movable sheave.

Revision: November 2015 TM-24 2016 Altima Sedan


STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION > [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 pres- A
sures of the primary pulley and the secondary pulley, and controls the pulley groove width.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
CVT Oil Warmer
• The CVT oil warmer (1) is installed on the front part of transaxle
assembly.
• When engine is started while engine and CVT are cold, engine
coolant temperature rises more quickly than CVT fluid tempera-
ture. CVT oil warmer is provided with two circuits for CVT and
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:0000000012601505

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.

STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION > [CVT: RE0F10D]
SHIFT LOCK OPERATION AT “P” POSITION
A
When Brake Pedal Is Not Depressed (No Selector Operation Allowed)

The shift lock solenoid (A) is turned OFF (not energized) and the B
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 C
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
E
When Brake Pedal Is Depressed (Shift Operation Allowed)

The shift lock solenoid (A) is turned ON (energized) when the brake F
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 G
detent rod (D) can be moved. For these reasons, the selector lever
can be shifted to other positions.

JPDIA0613ZZ I
“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 mecha- J
nism is locked and “P” position is held. The operation cannot be per-
formed from “P” position if the brake pedal is depressed with the
ignition switch ON when the operation system of shift lock solenoid is K
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

DESCRIPTION
• Controls for improvement of the transmission efficiency by engaging the torque converter clutch in the J
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 con- K
verter 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 L
prohibited.
Lock-up engagement
In lock-up engagement, the torque converter clutch solenoid valve makes the torque converter clutch control M
valve locked up to generate the lock-up apply pressure. This pushes the torque converter clutch piston for
engagement.
Lock-up release condition N
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.

• When the above is satisfied without detecting the same malfunction, count up the A counter.
• When MIL goes off due to the malfunction and the A counter reaches 40, the DTC is erased.
Driving condition B
Driving condition B is the driving condition that performs all diagnoses once.
In specific, count-up is performed when all of the following conditions are satisfied.
• Engine speed is 400 rpm or more.
• Water temperature was 70°C (158°F) or more.
• In closed loop control, vehicle speed of 70 – 120 km/h (43 – 75 MPH) continued for 60 seconds or more.
• In closed loop control, vehicle speed of 30 – 60 km/h (19 – 37 MPH) continued for 10 seconds or more.
• In closed loop control, vehicle speed of 4 km/h (2 MPH) or less and idle determination ON continued for 12
seconds or more.
• After start of the engine, 22 minutes or more have passed.
• The condition that the vehicle speed is 10 km/h (6 MPH) or more continued for 10 seconds or more in total.
• The ignition switch was changed from ON to OFF.
NOTE:
• If the same malfunction is detected regardless of the driving condition, reset the B counter.
• When the above is satisfied without detecting the same malfunction, count up the B counter.
• When the B counter reaches 3 without malfunction, MIL goes off.
• When the B counter is counted once without detecting the same malfunction after TCM memorizes DTC of

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 follow-
ing the appropriate diagnosis procedure. TM
• Shift point (gear position) displayed on CONSULT slightly differs from shift pattern described in Service Man-
ual. 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
position display is changed at the time when gear shifting calculated in the control unit is completed. F

TCM has a fail-safe mode. The mode functions so that operation can be continued even if the signal circuit of
the main electronically controlled input/output parts is damaged.
If the vehicle shows following behaviors including “poor acceleration”, a malfunction of the applicable system
is detected by TCM and the vehicle may be in a fail-safe mode. At this time, check the DTC code and perform
inspection and repair according to the malfunction diagnosis procedures.

Protection Control INFOID:0000000012601522

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

When a wheel spin is detected, the engine output and gear ratio are limited and the line pressure is increased.
Control
Limits engine output when a wheel spin occurs in any of right and left drive wheels.
Vehicle behavior in If the accelerator is kept depressing during wheel spin, the engine revolution and vehicle speed are limited to
control a certain degree.
Normal return condi-
Wheel spin convergence returns the control to the normal control.
tion

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
Power performance may be lowered while reversing the vehicle.

DESCRIPTION
There are many operating conditions that may cause a malfunction
of the transmission parts. By understanding those conditions prop-
erly, 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 informa-
tion 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.

HOW TO ERASE PERMANENT DTC
Description INFOID:0000000012601540

Permanent DTC can be erased by driving each driving pattern.


ECM recognizes each driving pattern; it transmits signals to each control module when the driving is complete.
Each control module erases permanent DTC based on those signals. For details, refer to EC-197, "Descrip-
tion".

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real-time application. It is an on-vehicle mul- B
tiplex 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 con-
nected with 2 communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission C
with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000012601690

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, it is recommended that all mainte-
nance and repair be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper repair, 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 har-
ness connectors.

On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of CVT and Engine INFOID:0000000012601694

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.

Revision: November 2015 TM-217 2016 Altima Sedan


PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [CVT: RE0F10H]
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 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 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.

BELT & PULLEY


It is composed of a pair of pulleys (the groove width is changed freely in the axial direction) and the chain belt
.The groove width changes according to wrapping radius of chain 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.
Chain belt

Revision: November 2015 TM-230 2016 Altima Sedan


STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION > [CVT: RE0F10H]
The chain belt consists of approximately 150 locker pins and
1,000 link plates . Chains are rotated by locker pins sandwiched by A
pulleys. This produces tension difference in chains among pulleys.
Accordingly, the power is transferred by the tension.

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 pres-
sure chamber at the back of the movable sheave. E
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 pres-
sures of the primary pulley and the secondary pulley, and controls the pulley groove width. F

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
CVT Oil Warmer
• The CVT oil warmer (1) is installed on the front part of transaxle
assembly.
• When engine is started while engine and CVT are cold, engine
coolant temperature rises more quickly than CVT fluid tempera-
ture. CVT oil warmer is provided with two circuits for CVT and
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:0000000012601721

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.

STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION > [CVT: RE0F10H]
SHIFT LOCK OPERATION AT “P” POSITION
A
When Brake Pedal Is Not Depressed (No Selector Operation Allowed)

The shift lock solenoid (A) is turned OFF (not energized) and the B
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 C
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
E
When Brake Pedal Is Depressed (Shift Operation Allowed)

The shift lock solenoid (A) is turned ON (energized) when the brake F
pedal is depressed with the ignition switch ON. The solenoid rod (B)
is compressed by the electromagnetic force. The connecting lock

“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 mecha- J
nism is locked and “P” position is held. The operation cannot be per-
formed from “P” position if the brake pedal is depressed with the
ignition switch ON when the operation system of shift lock solenoid is K
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

• If the CVT fluid temperature is low or the vehicle is in fail-safe mode due to malfunction, lock-up control is L
prohibited.
Lock-up engagement
In lock-up engagement, the torque converter clutch solenoid valve makes the torque converter clutch control M
valve locked up to generate the lock-up apply pressure. This pushes the torque converter clutch piston for
engagement.

• 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 K
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. L
• For procedure to delete DTC and 1st trip DTC from TCM, refer to TM-249, "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-283, "Work Flow".

DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) INFOID:0000000012601733

• TCM not only detects DTC, but also sends the MIL signal to ECM through CAN communication. ECM sends N
the MIL signal to the combination meter through CAN communication according to the signal, and illumi-
nates MIL.
• For malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) description, refer to EC-639, "DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Malfunc-
tion Indicator Lamp (MIL)". O

P
RELATION BETWEEN DTC AT 1ST TRIP/DTC/MIL AND DRIVING CONDITIONS (FOR 2 TRIP DE-
TECTION DIAGNOSIS THAT ILLUMINATES MIL)
• When initial malfunction is detected, TCM memorizes DTC of the 1st trip. MIL does not light at this stage.
• If the same malfunction is detected at the 2nd trip, TCM memorizes DTC and MIL lights at the same time.
• Then, MIL goes after driving the vehicle for 3 trips under “Driving condition B” without malfunction.
• DTC is displayed until 40 trips of “Driving condition A” are satisfied without detecting the same malfunction.
DTC is erased when 40 trips are satisfied.

DRIVING CONDITION
Driving condition A
Driving condition A is the driving condition that provides warm-up.
In specific, count-up is performed when all of the following conditions are satisfied.
• Engine speed is 400 rpm or more.
• After start of the engine, the water temperature increased by 20°C (36°F) or more.
• Water temperature was 70°C (158°F) or more.
• The ignition switch was changed from ON to OFF.
NOTE:
• If the same malfunction is detected regardless of the driving condition, reset the A counter.

cardiagn.com
• When the above is satisfied without detecting the same malfunction, count up the A counter.
• When MIL goes off due to the malfunction and the A counter reaches 40, the DTC is erased.
Driving condition B
Driving condition B is the driving condition that performs all diagnoses once.
In specific, count-up is performed when all of the following conditions are satisfied.
• Engine speed is 400 rpm or more.
• Water temperature was 70°C (158°F) or more.
• In closed loop control, vehicle speed of 70 – 120 km/h (43 – 75 MPH) continued for 60 seconds or more.
• In closed loop control, vehicle speed of 30 – 60 km/h (19 – 37 MPH) continued for 10 seconds or more.
• In closed loop control, vehicle speed of 4 km/h (2 MPH) or less and idle determination ON continued for 12
seconds or more.
• After start of the engine, 22 minutes or more have passed.
• The condition that the vehicle speed is 10 km/h (6 MPH) or more continued for 10 seconds or more in total.
• The ignition switch was changed from ON to OFF.
NOTE:
• If the same malfunction is detected regardless of the driving condition, reset the B counter.
• When the above is satisfied without detecting the same malfunction, count up the B counter.
• When the B counter reaches 3 without malfunction, MIL goes off.
• When the B counter is counted once without detecting the same malfunction after TCM memorizes DTC of
the 1st trip, DTC of the 1st trip is erased.

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 follow-
ing the appropriate diagnosis procedure. TM
• Shift point (gear position) displayed on CONSULT slightly differs from shift pattern described in Service Man-
ual. 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
position display is changed at the time when gear shifting calculated in the control unit is completed. F

Fail-safe INFOID:0000000012601737

TCM has a fail-safe mode. The mode functions so that operation can be continued even if the signal circuit of
the main electronically controlled input/output parts is damaged.
If the vehicle shows following behaviors including “poor acceleration”, a malfunction of the applicable system
is detected by TCM and the vehicle may be in a fail-safe mode. At this time, check the DTC code and perform
inspection and repair according to the malfunction diagnosis procedures.

Diagnostic Work Sheet INFOID:0000000012601744

DESCRIPTION
There are many operating conditions that may cause a malfunction
of the transmission parts. By understanding those conditions prop-
erly, 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 informa-
tion 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.

< DTC/CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS > [CVT: RE0F10H]
U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT
A
Description INFOID:0000000012601769

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real-time application. It is an on-vehicle mul- B
tiplex 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 con-
nected with 2 communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission C
with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

CAUTION:
• Do not reuse differential side oil seal.
• Put a mark on the measurement area and measure height of seal lip at four points diagonally
using suitable tool.
NOTICE:
Since seal lips have a tolerance of ± 0.3 mm (± 0.012 in) at maximum due to manufacturing tolerances or
packing conditions, it is necessary to measure the seal lip height beforehand to clarify the tolerance.
2. As an indicator of the parallelism and insertion depth, cut a
masking tape (1) to specified width [add 1 mm (0.04 in) to the
value calculated from the tip of differential side oil seal lip] and
affix to the differential side oil seal.
3. Install the differential side oil seal using a Tool (transaxle case
side), and using suitable tool (converter housing side), accord-
ing to the guide of the masking tape (1).

Tool number : KV31103700


CAUTION:
• If differential side oil seal is inserted deeper than the ref- JSDIA4817ZZ

erence value, use a new differential side oil seal and perform the steps again.
• Apply CVT fluid to the differential side oil seal lip and around the oil seal.
