JF016E Solenoid Kit 2013-2018, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the JF016E. Ships fast from the USA.
If you are shopping for a JF016E solenoid kit because a 2013-2018 Nissan Pathfinder, Altima, Murano, Maxima, Rogue or Infiniti QX60 has dropped into limp mode, flares on takeoff or keeps setting pressure and solenoid codes, look closely at what this listing actually is. The product photo shows the solenoids already mounted on a complete remanufactured control valve, together with a new oil strainer and pan gasket. You are not swapping individual coils into a worn casting; you are replacing the bores, the valves and the solenoids in one piece, which is why the price sits well above a loose solenoid set.
The JF016E is part of the Jatco CVT8 family. It has no fixed gears to select, so the solenoids on the control valve do a different job than shift solenoids in a stepped automatic. The TCM uses them to set line pressure, to feed the primary and secondary pulley circuits that clamp the steel push belt, to apply the forward clutch and reverse brake, and to control torque converter lockup. Each solenoid only sends a signal; the valve it works against has to hold that pressure. On a high-mileage unit the aluminum bores wear, oil leaks past the valves, and the TCM sees a pulley pressure or ratio that does not match what it commanded. That is why new solenoids bolted to a worn valve body often fail to cure the complaint.
Read every stored code with a scan tool that can see the TCM, not just the engine computer. On the early builds in this range, check whether Nissan bulletin NTB15-014C applies, because the first fix it calls for is a TCM reprogram, and P17F1 points at the control side while P17F0 points into the transmission itself. Check fluid level and condition next: a dark, burnt sample full of metal points to belt and pulley damage that a valve body will not repair. Our CVT limp mode diagnosis guide walks through separating a circuit fault from a ratio fault, and the Jatco CVT Nissan problems and fixes guide covers judder, overheating and fluid issues specific to these Nissans.
This listing covers the JF016E built from 2013 through 2018, the widest year span of our JF016E solenoid kits. That range spans the launch years of the R52 Pathfinder and the V6 Altima as well as the later Murano and Maxima, and Jatco and Nissan revised the control valve and its connector more than once over that time. Before ordering, compare the casting, connector shape and number of solenoids on your old unit with the listing photos, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm the match. Browse every Nissan and Jatco unit we stock on the CVT transmission parts page.
The control valve comes out from under the oil pan after the strainer and harness connector are removed. Keep the work area clean, since debris in a CVT valve body is what wore the old one out. Install the new strainer and pan gasket that come with this assembly, torque the valve body bolts in sequence to the factory specification, and refill with Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid only, checking level at the temperature the service manual specifies. Nissan treats a control valve replacement as a programming event, so plan on a dealer-level scan tool to load the new unit's calibration data and reset the fluid degradation counter. If the old fluid showed friction debris, pair this with a JF016E overhaul kit; if lockup was the main complaint, have a JF016E TCC solenoid on hand as well.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The listing photo shows a complete control valve with the solenoids already installed, plus a new oil strainer and pan gasket. It replaces the valve body and solenoids together rather than just the coils.
The listing covers JF016E transmissions from 2013 to 2018, but the control valve changed during that run. Match the casting, connector and solenoid count on your old unit to the photos, or send your year and VIN before ordering.
Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid only. Nissan warns against mixing it with other fluids or using ATF, and the level has to be checked at the specified fluid temperature.
Yes. Plan on a dealer-level scan tool to load the new control valve's calibration data and reset the fluid degradation data, and check for any TCM software update such as NTB15-014C on early V6 models.
Not if the belt and pulleys are already damaged. A loud whine, heavy metal in the fluid or a P17F0 that persists after the control-side checks points to internal damage that a valve body cannot repair.
