Before you replace parts

  1. Read all stored codes, especially P0776.
  2. Check your VIN for Nissan bulletins and CVT warranty coverage.
  3. Inspect the sensor wiring and connectors.
  4. Clear the code only after a repair, then confirm it stays off.

Safety / mechanic note

Verify with a mechanic. Hesitation or power loss can be risky in traffic. A code points to a circuit or system, not always a specific part.
