Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: Additional service when replacing TCM

Description

When replacing the TCM, perform the following work.

TCM PROGRAMMING

  •  Since vehicle specifications are not yet written in a new TCM, it is necessary to write them with CONSULT.

CAUTION:

When replacing TCM, save TCM data on CONSULT before removing TCM.

LOADING AND STORING OF CALIBRATION DATA

  •  The TCM acquires calibration data (individual characteristic value) of each solenoid that is stored in the ROM assembly (in the control valve). This enables the TCM to perform accurate control. After the TCM is replaced, check that the calibration data is correctly loaded and stored.

CAUTION:

When replacing TCM and transaxle assembly as a set, replace transaxle assembly first and then replace TCM.

If the TCM is replaced in advance, perform "ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN REPLACING TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY". Refer to TM-10, "Description".

Procedure

CAUTION:

Immediately after TCM is replaced or after control valve or transaxle assembly is replaced (after TCM initialization is complete), self-diagnosis result of "P1701", "P1709" may be displayed. In this case, erase self-diagnosis result using CONSULT. After erasing self-diagnosis result, perform DTC P1701 reproduction procedure and check that malfunction is not detected. Refer to TM-95, "DTC Logic" (P1701), TM-99, "DTC Logic" (P1709).

1.CHECK TCM PART NUMBER

2.SAVING TCM DATA
