Diagnostic Work Sheet
DESCRIPTION
There are many operating conditions that may cause a malfunction of the transmission parts. By understanding those conditions properly, a quick and exact diagnosis can be achieved.

In general, perception of a problem varies depending on individuals. Ask the customer about his/her concerns carefully. It is important to understand the phenomenon or status. To systemize all the information for the diagnosis, prepare the question sheet referring to the question points.
In some cases, multiple conditions that appear simultaneously may cause a DTC to be detected.

How to Erase Permanent Dtc
Description
WHEN A DTC IS STORED IN TCM
When a DTC is stored in TCM and MIL is ON, a permanent DTC is erased with MIL shutoff if the same malfunction is not detected after performing the driving pattern for MIL shutoff three times in a raw.
NOTE:
The following timing chart is for DTC of two trip detection diagnosis.
In case of DTC of one trip detection diagnosis, when NG is detected at one trip, MIL turns ON and permanent DTC is displayed.

| *1: | When the same malfunction is detected in two consecutive trips, MIL will illuminate. | *2: | MIL will turn off after Nissan Ariya vehicle is driven 3 times (driving pattern B) without any malfunctions. | *3: |
Diagnosis condition *A and diagnosis delay time *A for each DTC are satisfied. (*A: For details of these, refer to DTC/CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS >> DTC (Pxxxx or Uxxx) >> DTC Description >> DTC DETECTION LOGIC.) |
WHEN A DTC IS NOT STORED IN TCM
The erasing method depends on a permanent DTC stored in TCM.
