Replaces the valve body solenoids and pressure sensors on Nissan JF016E and JF017E CVTs when you are chasing pressure codes, judder, or limp mode.
When a Nissan Altima, Rogue, Pathfinder, Murano or Infiniti QX60 with the CVT8 transmission keeps setting pressure codes but the fluid still looks healthy, the electrical parts bolted to the valve body are a reasonable place to start. This 7-piece kit covers the Jatco JF016E and JF017E, sold by Nissan as the RE0F10D and RE0F10E families. Inside are four solenoids, two pressure sensors and one control solenoid, all new aftermarket replacements, so you can renew every electrical control on the valve body in a single pan-off job. The whole kit weighs about 1.8 lb.
On the CVT8 there are no shift valves to stroke and no fixed gears. The valve body uses linear solenoids to set line pressure and the pressure fed to the primary and secondary pulleys, and that balance decides both the ratio and how tightly the belt or chain is clamped. A select solenoid feeds the forward clutch and reverse brake, and a duty-cycled solenoid controls converter lockup. The two pressure sensors close the loop by reporting real pulley pressure to the TCM. A solenoid with a weak coil or a sticky spool, or a sensor that reads wrong, means the TCM is steering the transmission on bad information.
Pull the codes from the TCM and check fluid condition before ordering. Dark, burnt fluid or metal in the pan means the belt, chain or pulleys are worn, and new solenoids will not cure mechanical slip. Measure each removed solenoid's resistance and compare it with the service manual; on the JF017E, rebuilders report most solenoids fall around 5.5-8.5 ohms with the TCC solenoid slightly tighter. A solenoid can test fine on the meter and still stick, which is why many shops replace the full set rather than one piece. If the bores in the valve body are worn, solenoids alone will not hold pressure, and a complete valve body is the better fix. Our CVT harsh and delayed shift walkthrough and the CVT failure patterns guide help sort a controls problem from a worn-out unit.
The kit is listed for the JF016E and JF017E (CVT8, RE0F10D). The JF016E covers four-cylinder models such as the 2.5L Altima and second-generation Rogue; the JF017E covers the 3.5L V6 Altima, Pathfinder, Murano, Quest and QX60. The solenoid style is shared across the family, but pressure sensor colors and calibrations changed over the years, and a mismatched sensor can keep codes coming back. Lay your old parts beside the photos and compare connector shape and sensor color, or send your year and VIN and we will check it. Browse the rest of the family on our CVT parts page.
If bore wear is suspected, step up to the remanufactured JF017E valve body with filter and gasket. If the belt or chain is damaged, the JF017E master rebuild kit with pulley and chain is the right path.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Four solenoids, two pressure sensors and one control solenoid, matching the pictured set. It does not include the valve body, harness, strainer or fluid.
It is listed for both CVT8 units. Pressure sensors varied by year, so compare your old sensors and connectors with the photos or send us your year and VIN to confirm.
Many technicians replace the full set because a solenoid can pass a resistance test and still stick. Replacing everything at once also avoids a second pan-off job when another solenoid fails later.
Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid. Use it to lubricate the new O-rings during assembly as well as for the refill.
It can when the cause is pressure control or lockup control. If the belt or pulleys are scored, or valve body bores are worn, judder will continue and the fix is a valve body or rebuild.
