ACTION
See Repair Flow Chart on page 2 to confirm if this bulletin applies.
NOTE: Pages 59 and 95 must be printed and attached to the repair order.
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.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: Repairs performed for this bulletin require CONSULT-III plus Diagnostic
result reporting function-Setting to be ON and Diagnosis (All Systems) to be performed. If
not done, it may result in a repair being non-warrantable.
E.
Precautions when Disassembling a CVT Assembly
Transmissions are vulnerable to particles (dust, metal, lint, etc.).
When disassembling a CVT, make sure your work environment (shop, workbench, etc.),
transmission area (sub-frame, oil pan, harness connector, etc.), and your hands are free of
contamination.
IMPORTANT:





Wash and clean the exterior of the CVT assembly prior to disassembling.
CAUTION: Cover all air breather and drive shaft holes to prevent water intrusion.
Apply rust penetrant to locator / dowel pins on the torque converter housing and side
cover of the CVT and allow to soak as needed.
Refrigerating oil seals may help in assembly (axle and T/C seals).
Only disassemble those parts which are mentioned in this bulletin.
Make sure all parts are clean prior to assembling / installing.
 Unpack service parts just before installation.

Store the related parts that have
been removed separately to prevent
being mixed up; small cups can be
used.
Figure 6
IMPORTANT: The CVT unit “wiring harness
connector” will be reused during this
procedure. The wiring harness can be
disconnected from the control valve at the
wiring harness connector and remain in the
CVT.


For control valve removal, refer to the ESM: section Transaxle & Transmission.
NOTE: The number ‘7’ is on the head of all bolts that need to be removed for control
valve removal. Do not remove any bolt that does not have the number ‘7’.
CAUTION: Never allow any chemicals or fluids other than NS-3 CVT fluid or
equivalent to enter the CVT assembly. Never allow any foreign debris, dust,
dirt, etc. to enter the CVT assembly.

Before continuing, it is recommended that you review and understand the instructions on

The sub-assembly will lower into the CVT case without applying extra vertical force.
IF THE SUB-ASSEMBLY DOES NOT LOWER COMPLETELY,
INTERFERENCE IS PRESENT.
! PHYSICAL
Key Technique: Raise to remove weight on interference, adjust as necessary, and
then lower again.
Use the “visual gap size” below (Figure 95 and Figure 96), between the sub-assembly and
the CVT case, to determine the cause of interference.

Figure 101 on page 49.

Look in to the bearing bore to confirm the output gear is centered (Figure 98).

Place hands on top of the sub-assembly to keep it level and guide it into the
CVT case.

If the sub-assembly will not lower farther than 44 mm (1.75 inches) the
output gear did not clear the bearing bore (Figure 97).
Sub-assembly will not lower past 44 mm (1.75 inches)?

Align the parking rod with the parking pawl as follows:
IMPORTANT: Perform step 75 while there is a 38 mm (1.5 inch) gap between the the
sub-assembly and CVT case (Figure 101).
a. Rotate the shift select lever clockwise on the side of the CVT to adjust the parking
rod to the highest position.
b. Use a magnet, or similar tool, to align the parking rod in the CVT case (
in
Figure 100) with the opening in the parking pawl (
in Figure 99) in the side
cover.
NOTE: If the parking rod is not located correctly it will keep the case from
lowering.

Continue to slowly lower the sub-assembly into the CVT case.

If the primary and the secondary pulley bearings do not align properly with their
bores (Figure 102) or are at an angle, a gap of 19 mm (0.75 inches) may be
present.
 As needed, level the sub-assembly as it is lowered into the CVT case to help the
primary and the secondary pulley bearings align in their bores.
 MINOR LEVELING ADJUSTMENTS with limited weight on the sub-assembly will
help the installation. Vertical force is not needed.
 Once the sub-assembly is LEVEL, the primary and the secondary pulley bearings
will smoothly align while lowering.
Sub-assembly will not lower past 19 mm (0.75 inches)?

If this occurs Do NOT force the sub-assembly into the case.
a. Raise the sub-assembly slightly.
b. Level the sub-assembly (visually check the gap between case and sub-assembly
side cover and confirm that it is even all around).
c. Gently lower the sub-assembly.
d. Gently shake the sub-assembly horizontally, lower, raise and repeat as needed
to help align.
e. Lower to engage the dowel pins and a 6 mm (0.25 inch) gap is between the subassembly and CVT case.

without a gap before installing the bolts. The bolts CANNOT be used to draw the cases
together. DO NOT APPLY VERTICAL FORCE.
77.
Once the dowel pins are cleared, ease the sub-assembly down onto the CVT case
until the case halves are flush.

Confirm the dowel pins are clean and aligned and are not catching on the subassembly case cover.
WARNING: Be careful not to get fingers caught between the CVT case and subassembly when seating.
Sub-assembly will not lower past 6 mm (0.25 inches)?
If the sub-assembly will not lower past 6 mm (0.25 inches), the primary pulley splines are
not aligned.

If this occurs Do NOT force sub-assembly into case.
a. Raise the sub-assembly slightly so the weight is not completely on the primary
pulley splines.
b. Slightly rotate the primary pulley through the bottom of the CVT and then lower
the sub-assembly.


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 > CLEANING.

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 (refer to NTB12-103).

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.
CAUTION: Handle the control valve carefully.

IMPORTANT: Repairs performed for this bulletin require CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus)
Diagnostic result reporting function-Setting be turned ON and Diagnosis (All Systems) be
performed. 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 plus VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves
are within range of the CONSULT PC or plus VI during reprogramming,
reprogramming may be interrupted and the TCM may be damaged.
