After replacing a step motor do you know if you have to recalibrate the vehicle?

@robertcarlton8712 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for the video. I have a weird lope/ momentary loss of power. 4k drops to 2k and comes right back up. I suspect a sticking stepper motor. I’ve thought about getting a remanned valve body. I do not have a code though. It could be a bunch of different things. It’s driving me crazy. I can’t remember a time when my Altima didn’t do that. Seems random but tends to happen more often when turning left. Also when it’s cold. Engine can be warmed up but the first drives of the day are when it happens most. On the way to work and coming home from work. Idk how to sum it in one question but, in your opinion do you think that could be possible? Sticking stepper motor? Also suspect a clogged fuel injector. I’d appreciate any thoughts you may have on this. Thanks.

Hi i’m having this same code pop up in my 2011 Nissan Murano brought it to nissan and they’re saying the transmission is no longer usable skmething about the solenoids. The car at first took a while to accelerate and would usually start to pick up when i would go down hill after maybe 20 more minutes i couldn’t even make it up a hill without it rolling back down.

Please help, my Nissan altima 2008 2.5s stocked up in first gear, won't go beyond that, after diagnosed with computer, P1777 code was detected, today I took it to my mechanic, he service the gear, and test drive, it worked, after few seconds, when the car warmed up, it got stocked in first gear again. Now I noticed That ATF fluid was used to top up the gear oil instead of CVT fluid.. Please I need your help, what should I do?

A Nissan P1777 Code is a "Step Motor Circuit Fault." This code may be hard to troubleshoot. It could be a bad transmission, the wiring, or the TCM (Transmission Control Module). Tests will need to be done to find the issue. Be sure to check the fuses, especially any fuse labeled TCM.

@@HVAC_Mechanic Friend, I have a question and I wanted to know if you could help me and I don't know if this is the beginning of my transmission starting to be damaged in my 2009 Nissan Maxima, everything works fine and I have no problems accelerating or anything like that and when I brake everything is normal, but The problem is that before stopping completely the car seems to skid or give a push, and I don't know if it's a transmission problem or something else.

If the part is good and there are no other codes, it is likely in the wiring

@HVAC_Mechanic 5 ай бұрын

A P0746 code is Pressure Control Solenoid “A” Performance / Stuck Off. Were both codes there before replacing the stepper motor? I would check the wiring and test both solenoids.
