SERVICE INFORMATION
Anytime the 6AT (RE6R01A) transmission or its Transmission Control Module (TCM) is
replaced an adjustment procedure must be performed using CONSULT-III plus.
IMPORTANT:
If the transmission adjustment is not performed, the transmission may have the following
conditions:


Poor shift quality



Improper shift timing



Engine RPM flares between shifts

IMPORTANT: Do Not perform the transmission adjustment procedure on vehicles with
more than 500 miles on the odometer, unless the transmission or the Transmission Control
Module (TCM) is replaced.

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.

2. Confirm the transmission fluid level is correct.


Follow the procedure for Checking the AT Fluid Level in the Electronic Service
Manual (ESM), section TM-Transaxle & Transmission.



This information will be helpful as you perform the Transmission Adjustment
procedure.



While C-III plus is performing automatic adjustments, you will hear and feel the
transmission changing gear position.

Instructions for current step or
action.
If the procedure stops or is
interrupted, the action needed
to continue the procedure will
be written here.

NOTE: There are 4 adjustment procedures within the Transmission Adjustment.
First Adjustment Procedure
13. Confirm the following conditions (refer to the C-III plus screen):


Shift position: D



Transmission fluid temperature: 50°C (122°F) – 90°C (194°F)



Output speed: 0 rpm



Engine speed (control): 600 tr/min (rpm) or more



Brake switch (control): On

14. When the above conditions are met, select Start.


Current status will change from Waiting to EXECUTING.
NOTE: If current status indicates EXECUTING, wait (about 3 minutes) for the first
adjustment procedure to complete.

15. Wait for the first adjustment procedure to complete (about 3 minutes).


Second Adjustment Procedure
16. Confirm the following conditions (refer to the C-III plus screen):


Shift position: D



Transmission fluid temperature: 50°C (122°F) – 90°C (194°F)



Output speed: 0 rpm



Engine speed (control): 1,250 – 1,750 tr/min (rpm)



Brake switch (control): On

17. When the above conditions are met:


Current status will change from Waiting to EXECUTING.



Keep the rpm about 1,600 so that when the rpm drops, caused by transmission
shifts, it will not interrupt the procedure.



If the procedure is interrupted; follow the on screen instructions (which includes
turning the ignition OFF and back ON) and then start from the beginning (step 13).
NOTE: Keeping the rpm in the correct range is a bit challenging, and may take a few
tries (practice) to get it right.
