General Precautions

Precautions 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.

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 SRS.
- Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow harness connectors.

Precautions for On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System of A/T and Engine
The ECM has 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 negative battery 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 misconducted 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.

Precautions for A/T Assembly Replacement
REPLACEMENT

CAUTION:
- Check data (Unit ID) in TCM with data monitor of CONSULT-II before replacing A/T assembly.
- Check if new data (Unit ID) are entered correctly after replacing A/T assembly and erasing data in TCM.
- When replacing A/T assembly or TCM, refer to the pattern table below and erase the EEPROM in the TCM if necessary.





EEPROM erasing patterns

Method for erasing the EEPROM in the TCM
1. Move selector lever in "R" position.
2. Set the idle switch to "OFF". (Depressed accelerator pedal at half throttle)
3. Ignition switch to "ON" position.
4. Select "SELF-DIAG RESULTS" mode for A/T with CONSULT-II.
5. Touch "ERASE" the EEPROM memory.

Method for writing data from the ROM assembly in the transmission
With the EEPROM in the TCM erased, the selector lever in "P" position, and the ignition switch "ON" position.
In this state, the TCM reads data from the ROM assembly and writes it to the EEPROM in the TCM.

Check method
- Normal: About 2 seconds after the ignition switch "ON" position, the A/T CHECK indicator lamp lights up for 2 seconds.
- Abnormal: Even after the ignition switch "ON" position, the A/T CHECK indicator lamp does not light up.
- Replace the A/T assembly.
- Replace the TCM.
- Replace the A/T assembly.

Precautions

NOTE: If any problems occur in the RE5R05A model transmission, replace the entire transmission assembly.





- Before connecting or disconnecting the TCM harness connector, turn ignition switch "OFF" and disconnect negative battery terminal. Because battery voltage is applied to TCM even if ignition switch is turned "OFF".





- When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or from TCM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on TCM pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.





- Before replacing TCM, perform TCM input/output signal inspection and make sure whether TCM functions properly or not. AT-63. "TCM INSPECTION TABLE".





- After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform "DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE".
If the repair is completed the DTC should not be displayed in the "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE".
- Always use the specified brand of A/T fluid.
- Use paper rags not cloth rags during work.
- After replacing the A/T fluid. dispose of the waste oil using the methods prescribed by law. ordinance. etc.





- When removing the RE5R05A model transmission from a vehicle, do not use the companion flange section at the rear end of the transmission as a support point.
