Signal
Threshold Differences between engine speed and input speed: 40 rpm or less.
Diagnosis delay time Maintained for 5 seconds or more

POSSIBLE CAUSE

  • Harness or connector (Torque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit is shorted to power supply)

  • Torque converter clutch solenoid valve

  • Torque converter

  • Control valve

FAIL-SAFE

  • Start is slow

  • Engine stops when shift to “D” position during stopping the Nissan Murano vehicle.

Confirmation Procedure

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:

Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

PRECONDITIONING
