Classification: Reference: Date: AT15-003b NTB15-037b February 3, 2017 VERSA AND SENTRA; CVT VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT WITH CONFIRMED DTC This bulletin has been amended to update the Applied Vehicles and Parts Information. Please discard the previous versions of this bulletin. 2012 – 2016 Versa Sedan (N17) 2014 – 2016 Versa Note (E12) 2013 – 2016 Sentra (B17) APPLIED TRANSMISSION: CVT APPLIED VEHICLES: IF YOU CONFIRM If one or more of the DTCs listed in Table A on page 2 are present in the Transmission Control Module (TCM). And No other DTCs are present other than what are in Table A. And The diagnostic procedures in the Electronic Service Manual (ESM) for each DTC in Table A, that is present in the TCM, has been performed and indicates that the CVT assembly must be replaced. NOTE: Do not replace CVT. ACTION Replace the CVT valve body assembly (control valve) with a unit from Parts Information using the Service Procedure starting on page 3. IMPORTANT: The purpose of “ACTION” (above) is to give you a quick idea of the work you will be performing. You MUST closely follow the entire Service Procedure as it contains information that is essential to successfully completing the repair. Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle. 1/7 Table A DTC CODE DTC/CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS P0711 TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR A P0712 P0713 P0740 P0743 P0846 P0847 P0848 P0962 P0963 P0998 P0999 P0966 P0967 P099B P099C TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR A TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR A TORQUE CONVERTER TORQUE CONVERTER TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SEN/SW B TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SEN/SW B TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SEN/SW B PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID A PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID A SHIFT SOLENOID F SHIFT SOLENOID F PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID B PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID B SHIFT SOLENOID G SHIFT SOLENOID G 2/7 NTB15-037b SERVICE PROCEDURE OIL PAN, CONTROL VALVE Exploded View JSDIA6707GB 1. 4.

Clean magnets. Clean CVT oil pan. Reinstall magnets to the oil pan. 8. Remove the strainer bolts , and then remove the strainer from the control valve. Discard the strainer. A new one will be used during assembly. 9. Remove the nut and washer , and then remove manual plate . CAUTION: To remove nut, fix manual plate with flat-blade screwdriver (B). 10. Press the CVT unit harness connector into the transaxle case. CAUTION: Never damage the CVT unit harness connector. NOTE: Clean around the CVT unit harness connector to prevent foreign materials from entering into the transaxle case. 11. Remove the control valve bolts , and then remove the control valve from the transaxle case. CAUTION: • Never drop the control valve and manual valve. 4/7 NTB15-037b INSTALLATION 1. Install the control valve, and then tighten control valve bolts to the specified torque. CAUTION: • Never pinch the harness between the control valve and the transaxle case. • Never drop the control valve and manual valve. 2. Install the manual plate and washer , and then tighten nut to the specified torque. CAUTION: To tighten nut, fix manual plate with flat-blade screwdriver. Reassembly Torque: 22.1 N•m (2.3 kg-m, 16 ft-lb) 3. Install the new strainer , and then tighten the strainer bolts to the specified torque. 4. Install oil pan (with oil pan gasket) to transaxle case and temporarily tighten oil pan bolts ( ). CAUTION: Never reuse oil pan gasket. : Vehicle front 5. Tighten the oil pan bolts to specification in the order shown. : Vehicle front 6. Tighten the overflow tube to the specified torque. CAUTION: If it is not tightened to the specified torque, the tube may be damaged. 7. Connect the CVT unit harness connector. 8. Connect battery negative terminal. 9. Fill with CVT fluid from overflow tube to the specified level. Refer to ESM for further information. 10. Install the drain plug and drain plug gasket to oil pan. CAUTION: Never reuse drain plug gasket. 11. Reinstall engine under cover. 5/7 NTB15-037b Inspection and Adjustment INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION • When replacing control valve, perform "ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN REPLACING CONTROL VALVE OR TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY". Refer to ESM for further information. • Check the CVT fluid level, condition and signs of leakage. NOTE: Before performing Clutch Touch Point Learning. Erase memory data. Refer to the ESM, section TM – Transaxle & Transmission for further information. CLUTCH TOUCH POINT LEARNING CAUTION: If clutch touch point learning is not performed, you may feel shift shock when the auxiliary transmission shifts. Line Pressure Sensor learning Set the parking brake, turn OFF the A/C, and then bring the engine to normal operating temperature range. CVT fluid temperature over 122°F (50°C . 1. 2. 3. 4. Start engine. Shut OFF engine. Wait for 30 seconds. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times, and then proceed to Learning of Clutch pressure. Clutch Pressure Learning (Vehicle with Neutral idle; 2012 Versa Sedan only) 1. Start engine. 2. Shift the CVT into P or N and allow the engine to idle for 1 min. 3. Shift the CVT into D, drive the vehicle to over 6 mph (10 km/h), and then stop vehicle (when safe) and allow it to idle for 30 seconds. Repeat step 3 one more time and then proceed to step 4. 4. Turn OFF engine. 5. Start engine. 6. Accelerate the vehicle from a stop to 28 mph (0 km/h to 45 km/h) at low throttle (5-10 deg) and then stop vehicle (when safe). 7. Shut OFF engine. 8. Repeat steps 5-7 four more times. Clutch Pressure Learning (Vehicle without Neutral idle; all other applied vehicles) 1. Start engine. 2. Shift the CVT into P or N and allow the engine to idle for 1 min. 3. Shift the CVT into D and accelerate the vehicle from a stop to 40 mph (0 km/h to 65 km/h) at low throttle (5-10 deg). 4. Release the throttle and coast down to 18 mph (30 kp/h) or less and then brake to a stop. 5. When at a complete stop turn the engine OFF. 6. Repeat steps 3-5 four more times. 6/7 NTB15-037b PARTS INFORMATION DESCRIPTION PART # QUANTITY 13-16MY Sentra (B17) 31705 - X429B 12MY Versa Sedan (N17) 31705 - 3JX8A VALVE ASSY-CONT 1 13-16MY Versa Sedan (N17) 31705 - X429C (Control Valve) 13-16MY Versa Note (E12) 31705 - X429C STRAINER ASSY-OIL 31728 - 3XX0A 1 GASKET (CVT drain plug) 11026 - 31X00 1 GASKET-OIL PAN 31397 - 3JX0A 1 NS-3 CVT Fluid 999MP - NS300P (1) as needed (All vehicles listed above except 12MY Versa Sdn) NS-2 CVT Fluid 999MP - NS200P (1) as needed (12MY Versa Sedan only) (1) NS-2 and NS-3 CVT Fluids can be ordered from the Maintenance Advantage website that can be accessed through www.nnanet.com (NNANET.COM, Parts & Service, Maintenance Advantage-Tire/Wiper/Battery/Chemical).
