ACTION
1. Compare the vehicle’s current TCM part number to the part number listed in Table A on
page 7.
2. If the current TCM part number matches a part number listed in Table A, follow the
instructions in Table A.
IMPORTANT: The purpose of ACTION (above) is to give you a quick idea of the work you
will be performing. You MUST closely follow the entire SERVICE PROCEDURE as it
contains information that is essential to successfully completing this repair.
Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are
properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job
properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO
NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure:
 ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current date.
 All C-III plus software updates (if any) have been installed.
 The CONSULT PC is connected to the internet (Wi-Fi, or cable).
 No DTCs are stored.
TCM Reprogramming
1. Connect the plus Vehicle Interface (plus VI) to the vehicle.
CAUTION: Make sure the plus VI is securly connected. If the plus VI connection is
loose during reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the TCM may be
damaged.
2. Connect the AC Adapter to the CONSULT PC.
CAUTION: Be sure to connect the AC Adapter. If the CONSULT PC battery
voltage drops during reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the TCM
may be damaged.
3. Connect the GR8, set to “Power Supply” mode, to the vehicle battery.
CAUTION: Be sure the GR8 is connected securely to the battery. Make sure the
battery voltage stays between 12.0V and 15.5V during reprogramming. If the
battery voltage goes out of this range during reprogramming, the TCM may be
damaged.
4. Turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.) within range
of the CONSULT PC and the VI.
CAUTION: Make sure to turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices. If Bluetooth®
signal waves are within range of the CONSULT PC and the VI during
reprogramming, reprogramming may be interrupted and the TCM may be
damaged.
5. Turn the ignition ON with the engine OFF.


The engine must not start or run during the reprogramming procedure.

6. Turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads such as exterior lights, interior lights, HVAC,
blower, rear defogger, audio, NAVI, seat heater, steering wheel heater, etc.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads. Make sure the
battery voltage stays between 12.0V and 15.5V during reprogramming. If the battery
voltage goes out of this range during reprogramming, the TCM may be damaged.
7. Turn ON the CONSULT PC.
