DESCRIPTION
Automatic transaxle is electronically controlled. Transaxle shifting and lock-up is controlled by Automatic Transaxle Control Unit (ATCU) for optimal performance. The ATCU receives information from various electronic sensors, switches and solenoids and uses this information to control shift and lock-up solenoid valves. For additional information and testing of these components, see COMPONENT TESTING & CIRCUIT TESTS.
ELECTRONIC SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
NOTE: Driveability problems that may appear to be transmission related may be caused by a faulty engine component. Engine related fault codes MUST be repaired before diagnosing transmission. See appropriate ENGINE PERFORMANCE article. Failure to diagnose and repair engine fault codes prior to transmission diagnosis may result in incorrect diagnosis or component repair.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
NOTE: Perform self-diagnosis and code retrieval procedures with engine at normal operating temperature.
There are 3 ways to retrieve DTCs. They are displayed in different formats and by different indicators. Retrieve the codes and refer to the DTC DESCRIPTIONS table.
Scan Tool (OBD-II) OBD-II codes must be retrieved using a scan tool connected to the OBD-II connector. Follow the scan tool manufacturers procedure to connect and operate the scan tool. MIL Light (MIL) MIL light will illuminate when ignition switch is turned to ON position (engine not running). This is a bulb check. When engine is started, MIL light should turn OFF. If light remains ON, on-board diagnostics has detected an engine or transmission system fault. A/T self-diagnosis is performed by A/T Control Unit (ATCU) in combination with ECM. Self-diagnosis codes indicated by MIL are stored in both ATCU and ECM memory. Codes may be retrieved from vehicles equipped with a MIL light by using the following procedure: 1) Ensure ignition is in ON position and engine is off (KOEO). Turn diagnostic test mode selector, (located on side of ECM), fully clockwise. Wait 2 seconds, and turn diagnostic test mode selector fully counterclockwise. This puts ECM into Diagnostic Test Mode II (code retrieval mode). 2) DTCs are indicated by the MIL light "blinking" sequence. A sequence of LONG (MIL light ON for .6 second) blinks indicates the first and second digits of the DTC. 3) The third and fourth digits are indicated by a sequence of SHORT (MIL light ON for .3 second) blinks. Example: MIL blinks 10 times for 6 seconds (.6 x 10 times), and then blinks 3 times for about 1 second (.3 x 3 times). This indicates MIL DTC 1003. 4) ECM will not switch to Diagnostic Test Mode II when engine is running. When engine is turned off after code retrieval, power to ECM is lost after 5 seconds. Turn ECM switch to full counterclockwise position. This returns system to Diagnostic Test Mode I which provides bulb test and system monitoring functions. OD OFF/POWER Light (Flash) Flash codes are also referred to by the manufacturer as "Judgement Flickers". To retrieve Flash codes using the OD OFF/POWER indicator light use the following procedure: 1) Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. Turn ignition switch to OFF position for at least 5 seconds. Turn ignition switch to "ACC" position. Set overdrive switch to "ON" position, and selector lever to "P" position. Turn ignition switch to "ON" position, but DO NOT start engine. OD OFF indicator light should come on for 2 seconds. 2) Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position. Move selector lever to "D" position. OD switch to off. Turn ignition switch to "ON" position, but DO NOT start engine. Wait for 2 seconds, move selector lever to "2" position. Set OD switch to ON position, move selector lever to "1" position, and set OD switch to OFF position. 3) Depress accelerator pedal to floor and release pedal. Record OD OFF indicator light flashes and refer to DTC DESCRIPTIONS table. NOTE: The term "Judgement Flicker" refers to light flashes of the OD OFF indicator light. For additional wiring diagram information, See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Codes are displayed in the following order in tables and in DTC TESTING: OBD-II Code/MIL Code/Flash.

2) If voltage is not as specified, check throttle position switch. See appropriate test under COMPONENT TESTING & CIRCUIT TESTS. Check harness for open or short between ignition switch and ATCU to throttle position switch. If within specifications, perform selfdiagnosis again after test driving vehicle.
Circuit Description Vehicle speed sensor/MTR is built into speedometer assembly. It functions as an auxiliary device for the revolution sensor when it is malfunctioning. ATCU will then use a signal sent from vehicle speed sensor/MTR. Code is set when ATCU does not receive proper voltage signal from sensor. Diagnosis & Repair For sensor testing, see SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT TEST in COMPONENT TESTING & CIRCUIT TESTS.
Diagnosis & Repair 1) If during road test transaxle did NOT shift from 3rd to 4th at specified speed, go to step 2). If shift from 3rd to 4th gear is at specified speed and lock-up did NOT occur at specified speed, go to step 5). 2) Perform pressure test. See HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TESTS in OVERHAUL article. If pressure is not within specification go to step 6). If okay, check solenoid valves. Remove control valve assembly. See CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY in OVERHAUL article. Check solenoid valve assembly operation. Repair or replace as needed. 3) Check control valve. Disassemble control valve assembly. See CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY in OVERHAUL article. Ensure valves, sleeve and plug slide along valve bore under their own weight, and are free of burrs, dents and scratches. Ensure control valve springs are free from damage deformation and fatigue. Ensure hydraulic line is free from obstacles. Repair control valve assembly as needed and recheck. 4) Road test vehicle. Ensure vehicle shifts from 3-4 at specified speed and lock-up occurs properly. 5) Check TCC solenoid valve. Remove control valve assembly. See CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY in OVERHAUL article. Check TCC solenoid valve assembly. See LOCK-UP SOLENOID TEST in COMPONENT TESTING & CIRCUIT TESTS. Replace or repair as necessary. Check TCC control valve and TCC relief valve for sticking. Repair as needed. Road test vehicle, ensure A/T performs lock up at specific speed. See LOCK-UP SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table in OVERHAUL article. If okay, ensure symptoms from circuit description are no longer present. 6) Remove control valve assembly. See CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY in ON-VEHICLE SERVICE. Check line pressure solenoid. See LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID TEST in COMPONENT TESTING & CIRCUIT TESTS. Repair or replace solenoid valve assembly as needed. If okay, remove and disassemble control valve assembly. See CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY in OVERHAUL article. Check pressure regulator, pilot and pressure modifier valves for sticking. Repair as needed. 7) Road test vehicle, ensure 3-4 shift and lock-up occurs at specified speed.
Diagnosis & Repair 1) Check ground circuit. With KOEO, disconnect solenoid wiring harness assembly connector in engine compartment. Check resistance between terminal No. 3 (I30 and Maxima) No. 8 (Altima and, Quest) and ground. Resistance should be 20-30 ohms. If resistance is not as specified, remove control valve. See CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY in OVERHAUL article. Check overrun clutch solenoid valve, See appropriate test under COMPONENT TESTING & CIRCUIT TESTS. Check harness for open or short of terminal cord assembly. 2) If resistance is within specifications, Check power source. With ignition OFF, disconnect ATCU harness connector. Check resistance between solenoid wiring harness connector terminal No. 3 (I30 and Maxima), No. 8 (Altima and Quest) and ATCU harness terminal No. 8. Resistance should be zero ohms. Repair or replace harness between ATCU and solenoid wiring harness assembly if not as specified. Road test and perform self diagnosis. If unable to obtain ATCU feedback, recheck ATCU input/output signal inspection. If not as specified, check ATCU pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.
