Nissan Maxima P0746 Transmission Problems: Solenoid A Stuck Off

A very common problem in these cars- P0746 solenoid stuck shut! These solenoids can be easily replaced and will fix your problem WITHOUT replacing the transmission! MOST of the time when you have THIS CODE worst case worst case scenario is replacing the valve body that runs about $150. solenoids alone are much cheaper! this of course is so long as you dont have the exploded multi layer steel belt or various other problems these transmissions have. Best way to tell is to drop the transmission pan. follow me on my journey its..... interesting lol

That transmission shop wasn't trying to 'take you' for 4 grand. You showed up, without the car, and he told you what it would cost to replace the transmission. Yes those cars had major problems with them. Yes you can do anything cheaper if you do it yourself.

[@xlr8auto1]

He could have mentioned that the valve body and or solenoids were a major known problem and would be 1/4 the cost instead of jumping straight to needing a transmission.

[@anthonybotonis5841]

You need to understand that the valve body is not the only issue with the car, and if he does a vale body and you still have issues then he took your money for nothing and your still in the same boat... there isn't a professional trans shop in the world who would repair that cause they know the consequences.. as a DIY cou can try and hopefully save some money by replacing common fault parts and only hope it will solve your issues and from experience it's less than 50% of the time... so go for it cause it could be worthwhile but dot have a go at an auto shop with so much experience for telling you what should be said to you.

Good video

thanks!

[@donnycummings491]

The ford fiesta has a dual clutch transmission not a cvt, I have had much success repairing the dct transmissions in the focus and fiesta unlike the altimas cvt, I have come to a realization that if it has internal cvt problems your only option is replace the transmission. I get stuck working on them ALOT being that I run a auto mechanic business.

[@victordelarosa589]

Did it work ?

[@justingomer4371]

It would be the same for the Nissan Murano? Mine is a 2007 I bought it and PO746 code came up on the way home . They told me I needed a transmission as well. I found the solenoid online, is it the valve body?

[@xlr8auto1]

Yes probably the same. Did you get anywhere with it yet?

[@Superempathyy]

been a while since ive messed with a 2007, but im pretty sure its under the stereo area, in the center console.

[@kevinandrews2584]

I had the same problem with my 2014 nissian maxima with 108k miles. I sold mine for $4900. Yay!! Bought a mazda 3 2017 grand touring with 23k miles on it. I waisted so much money on the nissian. Stay away from those cars. I tried replacing the selinoids and the stepper motor and the fluids multiple times. Mine still had the belt intact.

[@xlr8auto1]

Thanks for sharing. Ive been burned by the newer Nissan's to many times to ever buy another. Ill buy the older ones, or even better any with a manual.

[@ChillPokePulls]

Dang. 12 maxima just died at 165k. No death code. Low pressure and faulty solenoid

[@Foodie_888]

@@xlr8auto1 Thank you. I hope it is an easy fix too. I took it to a transmission place and they said $4,600 to replace the transmission. They didn't do any real diagnostic so I didn't trust the place. I don't think it is the transmission since it shifts in all gears. I am going to try to change out the transmission fluid and the filters (inside the valve body and on the side of transmission). I hope that will fix it.

@@Foodie_888 thats horrible! they tell everyone thats the only fix but sometimes its way simpler and cheaper.
