Symptoms of a faulty Nissan Note automatic transmission reduction resistor:
* Problems with gear shifting
* Engine speed too high
* Delay when switching gears
* Shock shifts
* Check engine light on the dashboard
Location:
The reduction resistor is usually located in the engine compartment, next to the automatic transmission or automatic transmission control unit.
Replacement process:
Tools and materials:
* New pull-down resistor
* Wrench
* Screwdriver
Steps:
1. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Locate the pull-down resistor in the engine compartment.
3. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the resistor.
4. Remove the bolt(s) securing the resistor to the vehicle.
5. Remove the old resistor and install the new one.
6. Tighten the bolt(s) holding the resistor in place.
7. Connect the electrical connectors to the new resistor.
8. Connect the negative terminal of the battery.
9. Clear fault codes from the memory of the automatic transmission control unit.
Adviсe:
*Use the resistor recommended by the manufacturer.
*Tighten bolts to recommended torque.
* Reset automatic transmission adaptations by disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery for 30 minutes after replacing the resistor.
* If after replacing the resistor the problems do not disappear, you may need to carry out further diagnostics of the automatic transmission.
