CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE

e. Re-insert the A/T fluid level gauge into the A/T fluid charging

pipe until the cap contacts the top of the A/T fluid charging pipe

as shown.

CAUTION:

To check A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until

the cap contacts the top of the A/T fluid charging pipe, with

the gauge reversed from the normal inserted position.

f.

Remove the A/T fluid level gauge and note the A/T fluid level. If

the A/T fluid level is at low side of range, add A/T fluid to the

transmission through the A/T fluid charging pipe.

CAUTION:

Do not overfill the transmission with A/T fluid.

g. Install the A/T fluid level gauge and the A/T fluid level gauge bolt.

2. Warm up the engine and transmission.
3. Check for any A/T fluid leaks.
4. Drive the vehicle to increase the A/T fluid temperature to 80

° C (176° F).

5. Allow the A/T fluid temperature to fall to approximately 65

°C (149°F). Use the CONSULT-III to monitor the

A/T fluid temperature as follows:

NOTE:

The A/T fluid level will be significantly affected by the A/T fluid temperature as shown. Therefore monitor

the A/T fluid temperature data using the CONSULT-III.

a. Connect CONSULT-III to data link connector.
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-III.
c.

Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”.

6. Re-check the A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approxi-

mately 65

°C (149°F) using the “HOT” range on the A/T fluid

level gauge as shown. The HOT range is between 50

° - 80° C

(122

° - 176° F).

CAUTION:

• When wiping the A/T fluid from the A/T fluid level gauge,

always use lint-free paper, not a cloth.

• To check the A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level

gauge until the cap contacts the top of the A/T fluid charg-

ing pipe, with the gauge reversed from the normal

inserted position as shown.

7. Check the A/T fluid condition.

• If the A/T fluid is very dark or has some burned smell, there

may be an internal problem with the transmission. Refer to

TM-172, "A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning"

. Flush the transmission

cooling system after repairing the transmission.

• If the A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands,

etc.), replace the radiator and flush the transmission cooler

lines using cleaning solvent and compressed air after repairing

the transmission.

8. Install the A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe.
9. Tighten the A/T fluid level gauge bolt to specification.

A/T FLUID : Changing the A/T Fluid (ATF)

INFOID:0000000006751645

CAUTION:

If using the vehicle for towing, the A/T fluid must be replaced as specified. Refer to 

MA-9, "FOR

NORTH AMERICA : Introduction of Periodic Maintenance"

.

1. Drive the vehicle to warm up the A/T fluid to approximately 80

° C (176° F).

2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the A/T fluid level gauge.
4. Drain the A/T fluid from the drain plug hole, then install the drain

plug with a new gasket. Refill the transmission with new A/T

fluid. Always refill with the same volume as the drained A/T fluid.

Use the A/T fluid level gauge to check the A/T fluid level as

shown. Add A/T fluid as necessary.

• To flush out the old A/T fluid from the transmission oil coolers, pour new A/T fluid into the A/T fluid charg-

ing pipe with the engine idling and at the same time drain the old A/T fluid from the auxiliary transmis-

sion oil cooler hose return line.

• When the color of the A/T fluid coming out of the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line is

about the same as the color of the new A/T fluid, flushing out the old A/T fluid is complete. The amount

of new A/T fluid used for flushing should be 30% to 50% increase of the specified capacity.

CAUTION:

• If Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF is not available, Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF may also be used.

• Using ATF fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF or Matic J ATF will cause deterioration

in driveability and A/T durability, and may damage the A/T, which is not covered by the warranty.

• When filling the transmission with A/T fluid, do not spill the A/T fluid on any heat generating

parts such as the exhaust parts.

• Do not reuse the drain plug gasket.
