Check Engine Code 1106, Someone please help!!
Hello,
I owned a 1996 Maxima A/T and has about 102K miles. Can someone explain what this mean when I have check engine code 1106 = (A/T 4th gear Signal fault). It feels like my transmission is slipping after 60mph+. But I'm able to drive up 90mph with about 4000rpm. My transmission shifts a little ruff and rpm does not dropp by itself, unless I let the gas pedal go. The car has already replace transmission fuild and filter about a year ago. Is there a sensor or sumin? Please, someone give me some info or tips!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks people!

Since DTCs 1103 to 1106 deal with the transmission, there is info on the 1106 DTC. Everywhere you see "4th gear", simply substitute "1st gear".
Diagnostic Trouble Code 1106 means "Automatic Transmission 4th gear malfunction."
This malfunction is detected when the automatic transmission does not shift into fourth gear or the torque converter clutch does not lock up as instructed by the Transmission Control Unit. The factory service manual lists these possible
causes...
- Shift solenoid A
- Shift solenoid B
- Overrun clutch solenoid valve
- Line pressure solenoid valve
- Each clutch
- Hydraulic control circuit
- Torque converter clutch solenoid valve
You can do some troubleshooting without opening the automatic transmission. Find the harnesses which emanate from the transaxle. One of them terminates in a brown plastic connector with eight pins. This is connector F42, located (approximately) above the transaxle case and below the black plastic engine air intake ductwork. With the engine off, disconnect F42. You want to measure the transmission side of F42. Hold the connector such that the plastic latch is at the top. You should now see two rows of four terminals. These are numbered (top row, left to right) 1 - 4, and (bottom row, left to right) 5 - 8. Make resistance measurements between a clean ground and the following terminals:
#1, Shift solenoid B, 20 - 40 ohms.
#2, Shift solenoid A, 20 - 40 ohms.
#3, Overrun clutch solenoid valve, 20 - 40 ohms.
#4, Line pressure solenoid valve, 2.5 - 5 ohms.
#5, Torque converter clutch solenoid valve, 10 - 20 ohms.
There is also a "bench test" procedure for testing these solenoids with a 12 volt supply such as a car battery. However, this requires removal of the shift solenoid valve assembly. I don't know if you want to get involved with that.

Hey guys sorry to bump such an old thread however I dont have the permission to make a new thread and I rather not go around whoring threads. My ECU is throwing DTC 1106 and is experiencing the same problems that the TS was experiencing. I have also done the AT self diagnosis and am getting the 1st flash longer than others = Revolution sensor is shorted or disconnected. I checked the service manual and this is equivalent to the vehicle speed sensor but my speedo works. Anyone have any idea what I should do? It doesnt make sense cause the speedometer works. Im about ready to just get a new trans and torque converter. Thanks in advance for the help!
