At Low Fluid Temperature

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Infiniti QX56. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the A/T fluid temperature drops below the prescribed temperature, in order to speed up the action of each friction element, the line pressure is set higher than the normal line pressure characteristic.
