(Pressure Control Solenoid "A" Performance/Stuck Off)

Diagnosis condition

Diagnosis is permitted when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

a) Ignition voltage ≥ 9.01 V

b) Battery voltage ≥ 9.01 V

c) CVT fluid temperature ≥ -20 °C (-4 °F)

d) Lock-up pattern: Lock-up ON or Lock-up OFF

Signal

—

Threshold

When all of the following conditions "a" and "b" are satisfied for the specified period [5sec] continuously.

Keep the same conditions for specified period again after interval.

a) Line pressure sensor pressure < Balanced oil quantity lower limit pressure - Variation

b) Line pressure sensor pressure < Line instruction pressure - Variation

[Interval]

  • Movement of target pressure

    ⇒ Target pressure under satisfied oil pressure difference judgement - Current target pressure ≥ 1 MPa

  • Stop valid judgement ⇒ Nissan Sentra Vehicle speed ≤ 3 km/h (2 MPH)

Diagnosis delay time

5 seconds × 2 count

POSSIBLE CAUSE

  • Harness or connector

  • Line pressure solenoid valve

  • Control valve

  • TCM

FAIL-SAFE

  • Lock-up is not performed

  • Stop/start system prohibited

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

  1. PREPARATION BEFORE WORK

    If another "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" occurs just before, ignition switch OFF and wait for at least 10 seconds, then perform the next test.

    TESTING CONDITION:

    Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 10 V.

    >>

    GO TO 2.

  2. CHECK DTC DETECTION

    1. Start the engine.

    2. Drive the Nissan Sentra vehicle and maintain the following conditions for 20 seconds or more.

      Shift position

      : "D" position

      CVT fluid temperature

      : 25 °C (77 °F) - 120 °C (248 °F)

      Nissan Sentra Vehicle speed

      : 40 km/h (25 MPH) or more

      CAUTION:

      Be careful of the driving speed.

    3. Stop the Nissan Sentra vehicle.

    4. Repeat step 2 to 3.

    5. Check the DTC.
