CHECK DTC

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

  2. If DTC exists, perform the following operations.

    • Record the DTC and freeze frame data. (Print out the data using CONSULT and affix them to the Work Order Sheet.)

    • Erase DTCs.

    • Check the relationship between the cause that is clarified with DTC and the malfunction information described by the customer. Symptom Table is effective.

Diagnostic Work Sheet

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, customers have their own criteria for a problem. Therefore, it is important to understand the symptom and status well enough by asking the customer about the concerns carefully. In order to systemize all the information for the diagnosis, prepare the question sheet referring to the question points.

Cleaning

A/T Fluid Cooler Flush

CAUTION:

Metal debris and friction material may become trapped in the radiator, cooling hoses, bypass valve or external A/T fluid cooler (if equipped). This debris can contaminate a newly serviced transmission, control valve or torque converter. In severe cases this debris can block or restrict flow and may cause damage to a newly serviced A/T.

Always perform a A/T Fluid Cooler Flush after any one of the following:

  • A/T (transaxle) assembly overhaul, internal repair or replacement

  • Control valve replacement

  • Torque converter replacement

A/T FLUID COOLER CLEANING PROCEDURE — WITH TOW PACKAGE

Disconnect the A/T fluid cooler hose A and A/T fluid cooler hose B from the A/T fluid warmer. Refer to Exploded View.

NOTE:

  • If rubber material from cooler hose remains on the steel tube or fitting, clean steel tube and replace rubber hose.

  • The hoses removed from the A/T fluid warmer will be flushed first in one direction and then the other.

Allow any transmission fluid that remains in the A/T fluid cooler hoses to drain into the oil drain pan.

CAUTION:

  • Wear safety glasses and rubber gloves when spraying the Transmission Cooler Cleaner.

  • Spray Cooler Cleaner only in areas with adequate ventilation.

  • Avoid contact with eyes and skin.

  • Do not breathe vapors or mist from spray.

NOTE:

Always check with the Parts Department for latest parts information.

Holding the can and hose as high as possible, spray Transmission Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream into the A/T fluid cooler (radiator) inlet side hose until it flows from the outlet side hose for five seconds.

How to Erase Permanent Dtc Nissan Pathfinder

Description

WHEN A DTC IS STORED IN TCM

When a DTC is stored in TCM and MIL is ON, a permanent DTC is erased with MIL shutoff if the same malfunction is not detected after performing the driving pattern for MIL shutoff three times in a raw.

NOTE:

The following timing chart is for DTC of two trip detection diagnosis.

In case of DTC of one trip detection diagnosis, when NG is detected at one trip, MIL turns ON and permanent DTC is displayed.

*1: When the same malfunction is detected in two consecutive trips, MIL will illuminate. *2: MIL will turn off after Nissan Pathfinder vehicle is driven 3 times (driving pattern B) without any malfunctions. *3:

Diagnosis condition *A and diagnosis delay time *A for each DTC are satisfied.

(*A: For details of these, refer to DTC/CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS >> DTC (Pxxxx or Uxxx) >> DTC Description >> DTC DETECTION LOGIC.)

WHEN A DTC IS NOT STORED IN TCM
