P2813: Pressure Control Solenoid G / Select Solenoid (Nissan CVT)
Severity: high

On Nissan CVTs, the transmission computer uses P2813 for the select solenoid, which controls the clutch that engages Drive and Reverse. Nissan's bulletin for 2019–2020 Altimas lists it with other CVT codes.

Safety / mechanic note
A car that won't engage Drive or Reverse reliably can roll or stall in traffic. Verify with a mechanic. A code points to a circuit or system, not always a specific part.
