What prompted this manufacturer document
- The bulletin addresses reported CVT judder together with one of these codes. Neither code alone establishes a failed TCM.
Which vehicle conditions must be checked
Each row below retains its own conditions. Do not combine engines, years or models across rows to create new applications. A listed model is not proof that a particular VIN is affected.

Codes recorded in this document
A root listed only as an appearance has no separately verified meaning here. Preserve every suffix and module name; a shared root does not transfer a repair branch to another vehicle.
| Root | Raw form | Meaning in this source, if established |
|---|---|---|
| P17F0 | P17F0 | CVT judder diagnostic branch 0, within this Nissan bulletin. |
| P17F1 | P17F1 | CVT judder diagnostic branch 1, within this Nissan bulletin. |
What an owner can record safely
- Save the complete scan and describe when the shake, bump or vibration occurs.
Bulletin eligibility questions
The source uses these gates before choosing a professional diagnostic branch. A missing answer means applicability is unknown; passing one gate never authorizes a repair.
- A judder complaint is required
- Other DTCs exclude this Nissan V6 branch
What the source does not prove
- Do not provoke judder with hard acceleration or buy a TCM from the code alone.
- A code or message alone does not establish a failed part, a safe-to-drive decision or an approved repair for this VIN.
- A service bulletin is not automatically a recall or free warranty repair. Confirm current eligibility directly.
Questions for the repair shop
- Were the symptom requirement, other-code exclusion and chain-inspection result documented?
- Does a later revision or a current recall change the source's original advice?
- What measurement or inspection confirms the cause, and how will the repair be verified?
Open source-review issue
- Q2-012: A matching code and model name alone do not satisfy the manufacturer's diagnostic gates; symptom, build and test conditions still need checking.
The uncertain field is not used here to claim a current fitment, repair or market-wide failure.
