JF016E Pressure Control Solenoid, new and ready to install. Fits the JF016E. Ships fast from the USA.
A 2.5-liter Nissan Altima or Rogue that slips when you lean on it, engages Drive with a delay or a thump, or has logged a solenoid performance code is usually being run by the JF016E, the four-cylinder member of the Jatco CVT8 family. This page is for owners and shops who have narrowed the problem down to the electrical side of the control valve. Before you order, look at the product photo: it shows seven new pieces, not one. There are four linear spool-type solenoids, one bracket-mounted solenoid with a short black nozzle, and two threaded pressure sensors, one with a grey connector and one with a black connector. That is the full set of plug-in controls that sits on top of the valve body, which is why the price is higher than a single coil.
The JF016E has no gears to shift. It squeezes a steel push belt between a primary and a secondary pulley, and the only thing keeping that belt from slipping is hydraulic clamping pressure. The TCM sets that pressure through linear solenoids: one regulates line pressure off the pump, and two more regulate the oil sent to the primary and secondary pulley circuits, which is how the ratio changes. A select solenoid controls apply pressure to the forward clutch and reverse brake, and the torque converter clutch is handled by its own solenoid. The two pressure sensors report actual primary and secondary pulley pressure back to the TCM so it can check its work. If a coil sticks or loses output, the computer commands one pressure and sees another, and that mismatch is what sets codes and throws the car into a protective mode.
Scan the TCM, not just the engine computer, and write down every code. If you have P17F0 or P17F1 on a 2013-2016 Altima 2.5 or a 2014-2016 Rogue, read Nissan bulletin NTB15-084b first: its repair flow includes a borescope inspection of the belt and pulleys and, where the control side is at fault, replacing the valve body with a new oil strainer. Pull the pan and look at the fluid and magnet. Heavy metal points to belt and pulley damage that new solenoids will not cure. If the fluid is clean, check the solenoids at the valve body connector; a coil that reads open or far off its neighbors is your answer. Our CVT limp mode guide explains how to tell a circuit fault from a mechanical one, and CVT slipping under load covers pressure-related slip in more depth.
This set is listed for the JF016E (Nissan RE0F10D), the CVT8 version built for four-cylinder engines in the Altima and Rogue from 2013 on. It is not for the Rogue Select, which uses an older CVT, and the 3.5-liter cars use the JF017E, which has its own page in our CVT parts collection. Nissan revised connectors and sensor colors during production, so lay your old parts next to the photo and match the connector shape, the nozzle on the bracket solenoid and the sensor colors. If anything differs, send us your year and VIN before ordering and we will confirm the match.
The solenoids are serviced with the valve body off the case. Drain the fluid, remove the oil pan and strainer, unplug the internal harness and lift the valve body. Clean the solenoid bores, lube the new O-rings with fresh fluid, and torque the retaining brackets evenly so no spool binds. Put the sensors back in the same positions they came from; swapping primary and secondary sets pressure and ratio codes immediately. If the harness insulation is cracked or the connectors are oil-soaked, replace it with the JF016E internal wiring harness while you are in there. Fit a new strainer and pan gasket, refill with Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid such as genuine Nissan NS-3, and check the level hot with a scan tool reading fluid temperature. Clear codes and let the TCM relearn with several gentle drive cycles. If the bores in your valve body are worn, solenoids alone will not hold pressure; a remanufactured JF016E valve body is the better buy.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The product photo shows seven parts: four linear solenoids, one bracket-mounted solenoid and two pressure sensors. If you only need one coil, contact us before ordering so we can confirm what ships.
The 2014-on Rogue with the 2.5-liter engine uses the JF016E. The Rogue Select does not. Match your old connectors and sensor colors to the photo, or send your VIN and we will check.
Only if the bores are worn. If new solenoids still leave you with slip or pressure codes, the valves are leaking past their bores and a remanufactured valve body is the fix.
Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid. Do not use conventional ATF or a generic multi-vehicle fluid in this transmission.
Clear the codes and give it several easy drive cycles to adapt. If your car was covered by a judder bulletin, confirm the TCM has the current software as well.
