Automatic transmission cooling system Nissan Almera N16
The automatic transmission cooling system in the Nissan Almera N16 is responsible for maintaining the optimal operating temperature of the transmission to prevent overheating and related problems. It works like this:
Automatic transmission cooling system components:
* Automatic transmission radiator
* Cooling pipes
* Automatic transmission pump
* Automatic transmission thermostat
Working principle:
1. Automatic transmission pump: The pump circulates transmission fluid through the cooling system.
2. Automatic transmission radiator: Heat from the transmission fluid is transferred to the automatic transmission radiator, which discharges it into the surrounding air.
3. Cooling pipes: Cooling pipes connect the pump, radiator and automatic transmission, ensuring the circulation of transmission fluid.
4. Automatic transmission thermostat: The thermostat regulates the flow of transmission fluid through the radiator. When the fluid temperature reaches the set point, the thermostat opens, allowing fluid to flow through the radiator and cool. When the temperature drops, the thermostat closes to prevent the fluid from becoming too cold.
Automatic transmission cooling system maintenance:
To ensure efficient operation of the automatic transmission cooling system, it requires proper maintenance:
*Transmission Fluid and Filter Change: Regular transmission fluid and filter changes remove contaminants and wear that can interfere with pump and thermostat function.
*Checking the automatic transmission radiator: Periodically check the automatic transmission radiator for leaks or blockages. If the radiator is clogged, it should be cleaned or replaced.
*Checking the automatic transmission thermostat: If the transmission fluid temperature is constantly high or low, check the automatic transmission thermostat. A faulty thermostat can lead to overheating or overcooling of the automatic transmission.
Maintaining proper automatic transmission cooling system maintenance will help extend the life of your transmission and prevent costly repairs.
