Maybe you got a scanner that can see the future? :-)

Well maybe you can ward off a problem before it becomes serious.

With those settings on do you notice a difference in performance?

Hola, si tiene este código, debe reemplazar el cuerpo de la válvula o reemplazar la transmisión.

Ese es el código que tenía en mi automóvil y reemplazaron mi transmisión.

I wrote something in English then translated to Spanish. I said I had the code and they either swap the valve body for this or replace the transmission. They replaced my transmission.

I think there’s only one that read the transmission codes. You’d’ll need an Android phone and cvtz50 app and a obd Bluetooth adapter.

You mean a Snap-On Professional Scanner, right? Punctuation helps.

My dealer had to open the transmission and and check if there was any scars on the sheaves faces. If there's marks on the sheaves, they replace the transmission and if there's none, they replace the valve body. That's what they said. However when they opened the valve body to check, there was a lot metal shaving in the fluid, so they replaced my transmission.

Me neither, bud i was able to check the codes with my chromebook. If you're still warrantied you should have a look, a transmission change here cost at least 7k.

It's a known issue that may get fixed by mfr even if you are past 60K. Good luck

well i actually took it to the dealer @40k for CVT drain and fill and they didn't say anything about my trans. so is it safe to say that the trans is still good? if they didn't tell me anything was wrong when they finished the job.

I don’t know. I had a very slight judder that I complained about. They did a software update and with the update the code came.

My 2016 Nissan Maxima SV, 101k miles. Bought it at 69k miles. Oil change done every 3-5k miles. Transmission svc done at 69k and 100k. Only drive about 7500k miles a year. No check engine lights on.





So the 2 times when my car starts giving me problems most often is when.. I’m either coming to a sudden stop or deceleration.. or while parking or leaving a parking stall, when I’m reversing my car and about to slow down to shift into neutral and than drive.



That’s when my car will sometimes kick, and the rpms drop than go back up. Than as I’m driving my acceleration is super halted, like I’m driving a Sentra with an acceleration problem as opposed to a 300hp car.



I suspect that means my car is in limp mode, but I’m still eventually able to get up to 5000 rpm and 80mph up the hill, while at half throttle, and my ac does still work and doesn’t shut off.. so than maybe it’s not limp mode.



The problem is at intersections, accelerating onto the main highway, and going from 20-40 it’s super hard, almost like I’m in 3rd gear the whole time, (which makes me feel like it’s in limp mode)



Only code showing is p17f1 CVT judder. However I feel no judder when I’m driving, only sometimes when revving slowly to show someone.. p17f1- Inspect CVT, check valve body.



The trans tech shop did that, found some shavings, drained/replaced fluid, replaced both filters, reprogrammed software. They said there was a dent in my transmission pan that was making it press up against a filter causing it to have insufficient flow of fluid. They supposedly fixed that.



Note, I have 101k miles, muffler delete, I have a K&N intake I haven’t cleaned in 4 years, the battery, alternator tested 100%. Im thinking things like dirty MAF, clogged cat, fuel injectors or filters, fuel pump, maybe even spark plugs, oxygen sensors, Idle air control valve, variable valve timing solenoid, throttle position sensor, cam or crankshaft sensor..



BUT. I don’t know, because only that one code shows on the autozone scanner. Maybe a better one will show other stuff, but everything i mentioned I see on other people’s report when I run diagnostics on their vehicle.



Some days my car doesn’t do it at all, some days it does it multiple times. If I turn the car off for anywhere from 20-60 seconds it starts right up with no problem and makes it run normal again, sometimes only until my next major deceleration, or most times I can get all the way home or to work with no problems. I usually only drive my car for 7-8 miles at a time to and from work.. 16 miles weekday mornings before work, sometimes my car does it sometimes it doesn’t.



It’s been doing this since June 22, since summer. Sometimes I feel it was to do with the hot weather or temperature, but when I work closing shift at night and reverse my car after work sometimes it doesn’t it, also in the morning where I live it’s cold, sometimes it does it as well.. my car doesn’t not have a heat shield anymore, it was too much to replace. My AC being on seems to help it NOT do it as much or often which is weird. Idk, any ideas on where to start?



I want to sell my car before it gets worse, but I don’t want to sell it if it’s something I can fix fairly cheap and easy.. however I don’t have money to go off and buy everything on a check list of sensors either.
