APPLIED ENGINE:
APPLIED TRANSMISSION: CVT (RE0F10D)
IF YOU CONFIRM
The MIL is ON with DTC P0776 (PC SOLENOID B – Pressure Control Solenoid “B”
Performance/Stuck OFF) stored.
NOTE:

If P0744, P0746, P0841, P0965, P2813, or P17F0 are stored this bulletin does not
apply. Refer to ASIST for diagnostic assistance.

With this incident, if it should occur, P1715 (INPUT SPEED SENSOR) may be
stored with DTC P0776. The vehicle may also hesitate and/or have reduced power.
ACTION
1. Refer to the Repair Flow Chart on page 2 for mechanical CVT repair.
2. If needed, reprogram the TCM.

Refer to step 30 in the TCM Reprogramming section (page 21) of the SERVICE
PROCEDURE to confirm if reprogramming is needed.
3. Perform Additional Service (page 19).
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 this 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.

strap, so it cannot rotate.

This will assist in making the belt
turn.
5. Mark the front left tire with a suitable
marking.

This will assure all 360° of the belt is
inspected.

6. Using borescope J-51951 with its mirror
attachment, inspect the entirety of the
two sides of the belt that come in contact
with the pulleys (see page 7, Figure 8).

NOTE:
 Be sure to remove the protective film


Step 6a
Clean the camera lens and mirror
before each inspection. Use 90%
isopropyl alcohol, and a lens swab
from Lens Swab packet J-51963
listed in the PARTS INFORMATION
on page 32.
 Before inspecting, make sure the
camera handle’s AA batteries are
charged and the LCD monitor’s
battery is charged.

Holding the borescope with one
hand allows for turning the tire
with the other hand
(see Figure 5).
CAUTION: If the tire is rotated in the
rearward rotation, the camera lens
may get caught between the belt and
pulley.



Before starting to record, make sure the camera handle’s AA batteries are
charged and the LCD monitor’s battery is charged.
The video will show a backward or reversed image when the mirror end is used;
this is okay.
The required video must show clear evidence of belt slippage and be 15 seconds
or less.


For those vehicles that have an external CVT cooler, a cooler flush is required after
a valve body or CVT assembly replacement.
 For the procedure to flush the CVT cooler, refer to the ESM, section
TRANSMISSION & DRIVELINE > TRANSAXLE & TRANSMISSION > CVT:
RE0F10D > BASIC INSPECTION > CVT FLUID COOLER SYSTEM.

Installation steps in this bulletin may contain different style parts than what were
originally installed in the CVT. Pay careful attention, REASSEMBLY MAY NOT BE
IDENTICAL TO DISASSEMBLY.

Confirm that the QR label, control valve and CD part numbers all match before
installing the control valve.

For additional information, see video # 547: “CVT Belt and Pulley Replacement” and
fast forward to minute marker 20:09. This video is located under the TECH
TRAINING GARAGE VIDEOS tab in Virtual Academy.

TCM Reprogramming
A.
IMPORTANT: Repairs performed for this bulletin require CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus)
Diagnostic result reporting function-Setting to be turned ON and Diagnosis (All Systems) to
be selected. If not done, it may result in a repair being non-warrantable.
IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure:
 ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current date.
 All C-III plus software updates (if any) have been installed.
 The CONSULT PC is connected to the Internet (Wi-Fi or cable).
NOTE:


Most instructions for reprogramming with C-III plus are displayed on the CONSULT
PC screen.
If you are not familiar with the reprogramming procedure, click here. This will link
you to the "CONSULT- III plus (C-III plus) Reprogramming" general procedure.
CAUTION:

Connect a battery maintainer or smart charger set to reflash mode or a similar
setting. If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or rises above 15.5V
during reprogramming, the TCM may be damaged.

Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads.
If a vehicle electrical load remains ON, the TCM may be damaged.

Be sure to connect the AC Adapter.
If the CONSULT PC battery voltage drops during reprogramming, the process
will be interrupted and the TCM may be damaged.

Turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.)
within range of the CONSULT PC and the VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are
within range of the CONSULT PC during reprogramming, reprogramming may
be interrupted and the TCM may be damaged.
