On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System: Introduction
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Armada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The A/T system has two self-diagnostic systems.
The first is the emission-related on board diagnostic system (OBD-II) performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. The malfunction is indicated by the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) and is stored as a DTC in the ECM memory but not the TCM memory.
The second is the TCM original self-diagnosis indicated by the A/T CHECK indicator lamp. The malfunction is stored in the TCM memory. The detected items are overlapped with OBD-II self-diagnostic items. For detail, refer to "CONSULT-III FUNCTION (TRANSMISSION) ".
