JF011E Solenoid Kit 2009-2012, new and ready to install. Fits the JF011E. Ships fast from the USA.
When a 2009-2012 JF011E starts throwing a mix of pressure, ratio and sensor codes at once, chasing a single solenoid rarely ends the problem. This kit is built for that situation. As the photo shows, it is a complete electrical set for the valve body: the internal wiring harness with its green connector, the step motor, a large linear pressure solenoid, three smaller solenoids and two pressure sensors. It suits a Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass or Patriot, Mitsubishi Outlander or Lancer, or a Nissan with the same unit under the RE0F10A name, where the CVT has started to shudder, flare, refuse to downshift its ratio or sit in fail-safe.
A JF011E changes ratio by squeezing a steel belt between two adjustable pulleys. The solenoids meter oil pressure: one sets line pressure, one sets secondary pulley clamp so the belt holds under torque, and one applies the converter clutch. The step motor is different from the solenoids. It is a small electric motor that moves a lever connected to the ratio-control valve, so it decides where the primary pulley sits and therefore the ratio. The two pressure sensors report actual pressure back to the TCM, and the harness ties every one of these to the case connector. Replacing them together means every signal the TCM depends on is fresh.
Scan for codes and watch live data if your tool supports it: commanded versus actual ratio tells you a lot about the step motor, and commanded versus actual pressure tells you about the solenoids and sensors. Check the case connector and harness for oil wicking up the wires, a frequent cause of intermittent faults on this unit. Then look at the fluid and pan. Clean fluid with electrical codes means this kit is a good bet; heavy metal debris means the belt or pulleys are involved. The CVT harsh and delayed shifts guide covers engagement complaints, and the JATCO CVT problems and fixes guide covers the full diagnostic sequence.
This listing is for JF011E transmissions from 2009 through 2012. The 2009-up harness and connector layout is what this kit follows, so an early 2007-2008 unit may not match; for those years see the 2007-2012 JF011E solenoid kit. Compare the harness routing, connector shape and step motor with your original parts, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm fitment before it ships. All parts for this transmission family are on our CVT parts page.
Because this kit includes the internal harness, plan on taking the valve body off. Drain the fluid, drop the pan, and remove the filter and its support bracket. Transmission Digest's bench tips explain the key step: push a 3 mm rod, about 126 mm long, into the access hole beside the bracket so the pulley-ratio lever and spring-loaded ratio-control valve stay in place, then remove the short bolt by the manual valve and the ten longer perimeter bolts. Watch for the manual shaft sleeve, which can drop out unnoticed. On reinstall, index the lever to the pin on the primary pulley follower before tightening anything. Move your original ROM onto the new harness, because it holds calibration matched to the TCM. Use new O-rings, a new filter and pan gasket, and Nissan NS-2 CVT fluid. Clear codes and complete a relearn. If the bores in your valve body are worn as well, the RE0F10A valve body for 2008-2013 is the better fix, and the RE0F10A TCC solenoid is available on its own.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Based on the product photo, the kit includes the internal wiring harness with its connector, the step motor, a linear pressure solenoid, three additional solenoids and two pressure sensors. The ROM is not something to replace; reuse your original.
This listing is for 2009-2012 units. Earlier transmissions can differ in harness and connector layout, so send us your VIN or look at the 2007-2012 kit instead.
A failing step motor usually shows as a ratio that will not change properly: slow take-off, rpm that stays flat as speed rises, or ratio-related codes. Comparing commanded and actual ratio on a scan tool is the clearest test.
Yes, since the internal harness is part of the kit. Use a 3 mm rod to hold the pulley-ratio lever before lifting the valve body, and index the lever to the primary pulley follower pin on reinstall.
Use Nissan NS-2 CVT fluid. Fill with the engine running and set the level at operating temperature per your vehicle's procedure.
