About this product

Owners of a 2013-2018 Nissan with the 3.5L V6 and the JF017E CVT usually land here after a scan shows a pressure control solenoid or pressure sensor code, often with a harsh engagement or limp mode to go with it. This remanufactured JF017E solenoid kit for 2013-2018 is the budget way into that repair. As pictured, it is a loose set: four linear pressure solenoids, one smaller bracket-mounted solenoid and two pressure sensors. It does not include a valve body, so it suits a transmission whose valve body casting and bores are still in good shape. It carries a 1-year warranty.

Where these parts work in the JF017E

Inside the JF017E, the valve body is the brain's muscle. With no stepper motor, the TCM changes ratio only by adjusting oil pressure. The line, primary and secondary pressure solenoids share the same design and set how hard each pulley squeezes the drive chain. The select solenoid applies the forward clutch or reverse brake when you move the lever, and the TCC solenoid controls how much the converter clutch slips. The two pressure sensors mounted on the valve body report back actual pulley pressure, so a sensor that reads high or low misleads the TCM even when the solenoids are fine.

Symptoms that lead people to this set

Check these things first

Before you spend money on solenoids, confirm three things. First, the fluid: burnt smell, black color or a pan full of metal means mechanical damage, and a solenoid set will not help. Second, the wiring: inspect the case connector and harness for fluid wicking, chafing or loose pins, since an open circuit sets the same code as a dead solenoid. Third, on the JF017E specifically, make sure the primary and secondary speed sensor plugs were not swapped during earlier work, because that alone can set pressure and ratio codes. Then measure each solenoid on the bench against the service manual resistance values. Our CVT slipping under load guide and the CVT limp mode guide walk through these checks in order.

Fitment

This set is listed for the JF017E, 2013-2018, with a JF016E cross reference on the listing. In those years the JF017E was used behind the 3.5L engine in the Altima and Pathfinder from 2013, the Infiniti QX60 from 2014, and the Murano and Quest from 2015. Pressure sensors in this family came in different colors with different calibrations, and rebuilders advise matching the color of the sensor you remove. Line up your old solenoids and sensors with the photos before installing, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm fitment. All of our CVT parts are on the CVT parts page.

Install notes

If only the line pressure side has failed, a single JF017E pressure control solenoid may be enough. If the valve body itself is worn, a complete JF017E valve body is the more reliable fix.

JF017E Solenoid Kit 2013-2018: common questions

Does this kit come with a valve body?

No. As pictured, it is a loose set of four linear solenoids, one bracket-mounted solenoid and two pressure sensors that install on your existing valve body.

Which vehicles from 2013-2018 does it fit?

It is listed for the JF017E, which is used behind the 3.5L V6 in the Altima, Pathfinder, Murano, Quest and Infiniti QX60. Compare your old parts with the photos or send your year and VIN to confirm.

Why do pressure sensor colors matter?

Different sensor colors in this family have different calibrations. Installing the wrong one can make the TCM misread pulley pressure and set codes, so match the color you remove.

What fluid should I use?

Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid. Check the level at the temperature specified in the service manual after the learning procedure.

Do I need to relearn the transmission after installing?

Yes. Clear the codes and run the TCM learning procedure with a scan tool so the computer adapts to the new solenoids and sensors.
