Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"
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. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are buckled or unbuckled. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS AIRBAG and SEAT BELTS of this Service Information.
| WARNING | Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation. To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in the event of a collision that 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 " SRS AIR BAG SYSTEM ". Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Service Information. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness connectors. |
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
| WARNING | Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation. When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the ignition ON or engine running, never 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. |

CVT CONTROL SYSTEM: TCM
- The vehicle driving status is judged based on the signals from the sensors, switches, and other control units, and the optimal transaxle control is performed.
- For TCM control items, refer to " «CONTROL SYSTEM: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION»(ref-621391-S20402106402014061000000) ".
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM: Transmission Range Switch
- The transmission range switch is installed to upper part of transaxle case.
- The transmission range switch detects the selector lever position.
Scheme 124
- The primary speed sensor is installed to front part of transaxle assembly.
- The primary speed sensor detects primary pulley speed.
- The primary speed sensor generates the ON-OFF pulse (short waveform) in proportion to the rotating body speed which is "The higher the rotating body speed is, the faster the change cycle is". The TCM judges the rotating speed from the changing cycle of this pulse signal.
Scheme 125
- The secondary speed sensor is installed to upper part of converter housing.
- The secondary speed sensor detects secondary pulley speed.
- The secondary speed sensor generates the ON-OFF pulse (short waveform) in proportion to the rotating body speed which is "The higher the rotating body speed is, the faster the change cycle is". The TCM judges the rotating speed from the changing cycle of this pulse signal.
Scheme 126
- The CVT fluid temperature sensor is installed to control valve.
- The CVT fluid temperature sensor detects CVT fluid temperature in oil pan.
- The fluid temperature sensor uses a thermistor, and changes the signal voltage by converting changes in the CVT fluid temperature to a resistance value. TCM evaluates the CVT fluid temperature from the signal voltage value.
Scheme 127
- The secondary pressure sensor is installed to control valve.
- The secondary pressure sensor detects the pressure applied to the secondary pulley.
- When pressure is applied to the ceramic device in the secondary pressure sensor, the ceramic device is deformed, resulting in voltage change. TCM evaluates the secondary pressure from its voltage change. Voltage is increased along with pressure increase.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM: Line Pressure Solenoid Valve
- The line pressure solenoid valve is installed to control valve.
- The line pressure solenoid valve controls the pressure regulator valve. For information about the pressure regulator valve, refer to " «MECHANICAL SYSTEM: COMPONENT DESCRIPTION»(ref-621391-S31557421002014061000000) ".
- The line pressure solenoid valve uses the linear solenoid valve [N/H (normal high) type]. NOTE: The principle of the linear solenoid valve utilizes the fact that the force pressing on the valve spool installed inside the coil increases nearly in proportion to the current. This allows it to produce a fluid pressure that is proportional to this pressing force. The N/H (normal high) produces hydraulic control when the coil is not energized.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM: Secondary Pressure Solenoid Valve
- The secondary pressure solenoid valve is installed to control valve.
- The secondary pressure solenoid valve controls the secondary valve. For information about the secondary valve, refer to " «MECHANICAL SYSTEM: COMPONENT DESCRIPTION»(ref-621391-S31557421002014061000000) ".
- The secondary pressure solenoid valve uses the linear solenoid valve [N/H (normal high) type]. NOTE: The principle of the linear solenoid valve utilizes the fact that the force pressing on the valve spool installed inside the coil increases nearly in proportion to the current. This allows it to produce a fluid pressure that is proportional to this pressing force. The N/H (normal high) produces hydraulic control when the coil is not energized.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM: Lock-up Select Solenoid Valve
- The lock-up select solenoid valve is installed to control valve.
- The lock-up select solenoid valve controls the select switch valve. For information about the select switch valve, refer to " «MECHANICAL SYSTEM: COMPONENT DESCRIPTION»(ref-621391-S31557421002014061000000) ".
- The lock-up select solenoid valve utilizes an ON-OFF solenoid valve. NOTE: The only operations of the valve spool installed inside the coil are pressing or not pressing the ball which seals the hydraulic supply section into the seat. This A/T uses N/L (normal low) type. When voltage is not applied to the coil, the force of the pilot pressure presses the ball against the seat, stopping the pilot pressure at that point. When voltage is applied to the coil, the valve is pulled in the direction of the coil, disengaging the hydraulic seal which the ball creates. This supplies pilot pressure to the operating locations.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM: Step Motor
The step motor changes the step with turning 4 coils ON/OFF according to the signal from TCM. As a result, the flow of line pressure to primary pulley is changed and pulley ratio is controlled.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM: Manual Mode Switch
- The manual mode switch [mode select switch and position select switch (shift-up/shift-down)] is installed in the CVT shift selector assembly.
- The mode select switch detects the position (the main shift gate side or manual shift gate side) of the selector lever and transmits a manual mode signal or a not manual mode signal to the combination meter. Then, the TCM receives a manual mode signal or non-manual mode signal from the combination meter.
- The position select switch (shift-up) detects that the selector lever is shifted to the shift-up side of the manual shift gate and transmits a manual mode shift up signal to the combination meter. Then, the TCM receives a manual mode shift up signal from the combination meter.
- The position select switch (shift-down) detects that the selector lever is shifted to the shift-down side of the manual shift gate and transmits a manual mode shift down signal to the combination meter. Then, the TCM receives a manual mode shift down signal from the combination meter.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM: CVT Indicator
- CVT indicator is positioned on the combination meter.
- CVT indicator turns on for a certain period of time when the ignition switch turns ON, and then turns OFF.
| Condition (status) | CVT indicator |
|---|---|
| Ignition switch OFF. | OFF |
| Ignition switch ON. | ON (Approx. 2sec.) |
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM: Shift Position Indicator
TCM transmits shift position signal to combination meter via CAN communication. The actual shift position is displayed on combination meter according to the signal.
Scheme 128
- Manual mode indicator (A) is positioned on the combination meter.
- The manual mode indicator illuminates when the selector lever is operated to the manual shift gate side. It also displays the gear position (M1<==>M6) when the selector lever is operated to the + side or - side. (Operates only during driving.)
- The manual mode indicator turns off when the selector lever is operated to the main shift gate side.
| Condition (status) | Manual mode indicator |
|---|---|
| Selector lever is operated to the manual shift gate side. | Display |
| Selector lever is operated to the + side or - side. | M1<==>M6 |
| Selector lever is operated to the main shift gate side. | Nothing displayed. |
Scheme 129
- The paddle shifter is installed to the steering column.
- The paddle shifter transmits shift up and shift down signals to combination meter. Then TCM receives signals from the combination meter via CAN communication.
Scheme 130
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.
Scheme 131
- 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.
FINAL DRIVE AND DIFFERENTIAL
The deceleration gears are composed of 2 stages: primary deceleration (output gear, idler gear pair) and secondary deceleration (reduction gear, final gear pair). All of these gears are helical gears.
The lubrication oil is the same as the fluid (Genuine CVT fluid) which lubricates the entire transaxle.
Scheme 132
Scheme 133
MECHANISM
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). 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.
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.
Scheme 134
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.
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.

CONTROL SYSTEM: CAN Communication
- 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 independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2 communication lines (CAN-H and CAN-L) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
- For a list of CAN communication signals, refer to " «CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: CAN COMMUNICATION SIGNAL CHART»(ref-621398-S35137437972014061000000) ".
CONTROL SYSTEM: Engine and CVT Integrated Control (CAN Communication Control)
- For purposes including improving the feeling when shifting speeds and preventing drops in engine speed, engine output control signals are exchanged between the ECM and TCM, and real-time cooperative control is performed according to the vehicle driving conditions.
- TCM sends the sudden deceleration signal, lock-up engaged signal, torque-down request signal, and other information to ECM, and also receives the torque-down permission/prohibit signals, lock-up permission/prohibit signals, accelerator position, and other information from ECM.
CONTROL SYSTEM: Control between CVT and Combination Meter (CAN Communication Control)
TCM sends the manual mode display request, shift position indicator signal, and other information to the combination meter, and also receives the manual mode signal and other information from the combination meter.
CONTROL SYSTEM: Control between CVT and BCM (CAN Communication Control)
TCM receives signals from the stop lamp switch via BCM.
Scheme 141
Scheme 142
- The torque converter clutch piston in the torque converter is engaged to eliminate torque converter slip to increase power transmission efficiency.
- The torque converter clutch control valve operation is controlled by the torque converter clutch solenoid valve, which is controlled by a signal from TCM. The torque converter clutch control valve engages or releases the torque converter clutch piston.
- When shifting between "N" ("P") ==> "D" ("R"), torque converter clutch solenoid valve controls engagement power of forward clutch and reverse brake.
- The lock-up applied gear range was expanded by locking up the torque converter at a lower vehicle speed than conventional A/T models.
- If the CVT fluid temperature is low or the vehicle is in fail-safe mode due to malfunction, lock-up control is prohibited.
"D" POSITION
Gear shifting is performed in all shifting ranges from the lowest to the highest gear ratio.
Scheme 143
"M" POSITION
When the selector lever or paddle shifter is put in the manual shift gate side, the fixed changing gear line is set. By moving the selector lever to + side or - side, the manual mode switch is changed over, and shift change like M/T becomes possible following the changing gear set line step by step.
Scheme 144
Scheme 145
- Except for NISMO RS
- For NISMO RS
Manual Mode Information
The TCM transmits the manual mode shift refusal signal to the combination meter if the TCM refuses the transaxle from the driving status of vehicle when the selector lever shifts to "UP (+ side)" or "DOWN (- side)" side. The combination meter blinks shift position indicator on the combination meter and sounds the buzzer to indicate the driver that the shifting is not performed when receiving this signal. However, the TCM does not transmit the manual mode shift refusal signal in the conditions as per the following.
- When the selector lever or the paddle shifter shifts to "DOWN (- side)" side while driving in M1.
- When the selector lever or the paddle shifter shifts to "UP (+ side)" side while driving in M6 (M8*). *: NISMO RS models
BLIPPING CONTROL
Using engine torque, the blipping control enables a faster and more responsive gear shifting by compensating inertia torque generated from the rotational change during gear shifting in real time.
Operation
Scheme 146
- The blipping control is activated when the driver shifts up/down the transaxle in manual mode or when the transaxle is shifted up/down in "D" position SPORT mode. NOTE: The blipping control is not activated when the vehicle is in the following conditions: When CAN communication is abnormal. During the retard inhibit signal transmission from ECM within the engine-CVT integrated control. Engine coolant temperature is less than 20°C (68°F). CVT fluid temperature is more than 120°C (248°F). Vehicle speed is less than 20 km/h (12 MPH). When ABS, TCS or VDC is active. During wheel spin.
- ECM selects blipping control or normal shift control according to the gear position, the selector lever position, etc.
- The blipping control is activated when ECM judges it controllable after receiving a control permit signal from TCM.
- ECM controls engine torque, based on generated inertia torque.
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.
Scheme 147
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.
Scheme 148
CONTROL DETAILS OF EACH MODE
| Control mode | Control |
|---|---|
| NORMAL mode | Driving mode that automatically selects the shift schedule considering the balance of fuel economy and driving performance based on the driving condition and driving trend. |
| SPORT mode | Keeps high engine speed and provides direct feel and acceleration performance suitable for driving on winding road. This driving mode also provides a rhythmical feel obtained by A/T like shifting, and produces sporty driving. |
| ECO mode | Driving mode that selects the shift schedule with priority on fuel economy which gives low engine revolution. |
FAIL-SAFE
If CAN communication malfunction occurs between TCM and the multi display unit, the mode when the malfunction occurs is maintained for approximately 30 seconds and the mode is changed to NORMAL mode when the accelerator pedal is released.
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. 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. The selector operation from P position can be performed.
Scheme 149
| CAUTION | Use the shift lock release button only when the selector lever cannot be operated even if the brake pedal is depressed with the ignition switch ON. |
KEY LOCK MECHANISM
The key is not set to LOCK when the selector lever is not selected to P position. This prevents the key from being removed from the key cylinder.
Key lock status
The slider (B) in the key cylinder (A) is moved to the left side of the figure when the selector lever is in any position other than P position. The rotator (D) that rotates together with the key (C) cannot be rotated for this reason. The key cannot be removed from the key cylinder because it cannot be turned to LOCK (E).
Scheme 150
Key unlock status
The slider (B) in the key cylinder (A) is moved to the right side of the figure when the selector lever is in P position and the finger is removed from the selector button. The rotator (C) can be rotated for this reason. The key (D) can be removed from the key cylinder because it can be turned to LOCK (E).
Scheme 151
OBD-II FUNCTION
The ECM provides emission-related on board diagnostic (OBD-II) functions for the CVT system. One function is to receive a signal from the TCM used with OBD-related parts of the CVT system. The signal is sent to the ECM when a malfunction occurs in the corresponding OBD-related part. The other function is to indicate a diagnostic result by means of the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) on the instrument panel. Sensors, switches and solenoid valves are used as sensing elements.
The MIL automatically illuminates in "One or Two Trip Detection Logic" when a malfunction is sensed in relation to CVT system parts.
One Trip Detection Logic
If a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, the MIL will illuminate and the malfunction will be stored in the ECM memory as a DTC. The TCM is not provided with such a memory function.
Two Trip Detection Logic
When a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, it is stored in the ECM memory as a 1st trip DTC (diagnostic trouble code) or 1st trip freeze frame data. At this point, the MIL will not illuminate. - 1st trip If the same malfunction as that experienced during the first test drive is sensed during the second test drive, the MIL will illuminate. - 2nd trip
The "trip" in the "One or Two Trip Detection Logic" means a driving mode in which self-diagnosis is performed during vehicle operation.
Freeze Frame Data and 1st Trip Freeze Frame Data
- The ECM has a memory function, which stores the driving condition such as fuel system status, calculated load value, engine coolant temperature, short term fuel trim, long term fuel trim, engine speed and vehicle speed at the moment the ECM detects a malfunction. Data which are stored in the ECM memory, along with the 1st trip DTC, are called 1st trip freeze frame data, and the data, stored together with the DTC data, are called freeze frame data and displayed on CONSULT or GST. The 1st trip freeze frame data can only be displayed on the CONSULT screen, not on the GST. For details, refer to " «CONSULT FUNCTION»(ref-621378-S20367873952014061000000) ". Only one set of freeze frame data (either 1st trip freeze frame data or freeze frame data) can be stored in the ECM. 1st trip freeze frame data is stored in the ECM memory along with the 1st trip DTC. There is no priority for 1st trip freeze frame data, and it is updated each time a different 1st trip DTC is detected. However, once freeze frame data (2nd trip detection/MIL on) is stored in the ECM memory, 1st trip freeze frame data is no longer stored. Remember, only one set of freeze frame data can be stored in the ECM. The ECM has the following priorities to update the data.
| Priority | Items | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Freeze frame data | Misfire - DTC: P0300 - P0304 Fuel Injection System Function - DTC: P0171, P0172 |
| 2 | Except the above items (Includes CVT related items) | |
| 3 | 1st trip freeze frame data | |
Both 1st trip freeze frame data and freeze frame data (along with the DTC) are cleared when the ECM memory is erased.

Cleaning
Whenever an automatic transaxle is repaired, overhauled, or replaced, the CVT fluid cooler mounted in the radiator must be inspected and cleaned.
Metal debris and friction material, if present, can be trapped or be deposited in the CVT fluid cooler. This debris can contaminate the newly serviced CVT or, in severe cases, can block or restrict the flow of CVT fluid. In either case, malfunction of the newly serviced CVT may occur. Debris, if present, may deposit as CVT fluid enters the cooler inlet. It will be necessary to back flush the cooler through the cooler outlet in order to flush out any built up debris.
