fleurys Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) I suspect your tranny has set itself in limp mode... If you have a check engine light, I suggest you get the code from the "Consult" device at NIssan (you won't be able to get the code from an off-the-shelf" code reader as these are manufacturer specific (transmission)... If you do not have a check engine light, then I would start with the self-diagnostic procedure included in the nissan AT shop manual... I have uploaded it here for you... http://www.4shared.com/file/67415395/60f3df77/at_online.html good luck...and let us know how it turns out.. ps. I just tought of one thing....you could try to un-hook your negative terminal from the battery for a good 10 minutes...this could clear some stored codes and could make your tranny kinda reset itself...So if it's a electronic thing, this should fix it...if it's mechanical...it's another story...

dogy2003 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 ok, so here's where I'm at right now: I tried the battery trick a few times and that didn't solve anything, it cleared the check engine light for the o2 sensors but the tranny stayed the same. I am almost 100% sure that it is in limp mode, it's in 3rd gear no matter what I do. So then I tried what the service manual said, turn the ignition to on, then off for 5 seconds and then back to on, and in theory that is supposed to reset the tranny.... which it didn't. So I don't get it, are there more steps involved that I'm not doing? Reverse still works fine, and if it had shifted into gear when I screwed up then shouldn't reverse be the most f**ked up gear in the truck?

fleurys Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) do the self diagnostic procedure on page at-23 (the one with no tools)... ... This should at least tell you more about the health of your tranny... Edited October 22, 2008 by fleurys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogy2003 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 I did the self diagnostic check today and the truck's telling me that nothings wrong. The light blinked 10 times and they were all only one second. So I really don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff57 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I checked all the fuses under the hood and the spot next to the steering wheel... any others I am missing? I hate to say it, but your problem may being caused by something mechanically damaged inside the box. The electrics are saying their Ok but they may not be detecting a mechanical problem. Hope I am wrong, but it may be time to get it checked by a transmission shop. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogy2003 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 I really hope that's not the problem, but none the less the truck is going to Aamco next week so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
