Please discard the previous version. 2012 – 2015 Versa Sedan (N17) 2014 – 2015 Versa Note (E12) 2013 – 2015 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 TRANSMISSION FLUID MPERATURE 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 P0963 P0998 P0999 P0966 P0967 P099B P099C 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 NTB15-037a SERVICE PROCEDURE OIL PAN, CONTROL VALVE Exploded View JSDIA6707GB 1. 4.

Refer to ESM for further information. • Check the CVT fluid level, condition and 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 With the parking brake set, A/C OFF and engine at operating temperature. 1. 2. 3. 4. CVT fluid temperature over 122°F (50°C . Start engine. Shut OFF engine. Wait for 30 seconds. Repeat steps 1-3 two more time 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 NTB15-037a PARTS INFORMATION DESCRIPTION 13-15MY Sentra (B17) 12MY Versa Sedan (N17) VALVE ASSY-CONT 13-15MY Versa Sedan (N17) (Control Valve) 13-15MY Versa Note (E12) GASKET (CVT drain plug) SEAL (oil strainer O-ring, control valve) PART # 31705 - X429B 31705 - 3JX8A 31705 - X429C 31705 - X429C 11026 - 31X00 31526 - 1XG0A QUANTITY GASKET-OIL PAN 31397 - 3JX0A 1 NS-3 CVT Fluid (All vehicles listed above except 12MY Versa Sdn) NS-2 CVT Fluid (12MY Versa Sedan only) 1 1 1 999MP - NS300P (1) as needed 999MP - NS200P (1) as needed (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).
