RE0F11A / JF015E CVT TRANSMISSION

The transmission family used in this Nissan Versa application is known by two commonly searched codes:

Nissan Code: RE0F11A

Jatco Code: JF015E

The JF015E is a compact continuously variable transmission designed for small-displacement front-wheel-drive vehicles.

Unlike a conventional automatic transmission with five or six fixed forward gears, the CVT continuously varies its operating ratio to match vehicle speed, load, and engine demand.

The RE0F11A / JF015E includes:

• Variable-ratio CVT operation
• Torque converter
• Primary and secondary pulleys
• Steel belt
• Auxiliary gearset
• Electronically controlled hydraulic valve body
• Integrated front differential
• FWD transaxle configuration

IMPORTANT TRANSMISSION CODE INFORMATION

The identification 620N04 appears on this individual J-Spec inventory unit. However, the transmission-family code for the Versa HR16DE application is:

RE0F11A / JF015E

For product data, search optimization, and customer fitment, the clean identification structure is:

Transmission Code: RE0F11A / JF015E
Unit Identification / Serial: 620N04

This separates the transmission family from the individual inventory identifier.

HR16DE 1.6L ENGINE APPLICATION

This CVT targets compatible Nissan Versa models equipped with the HR16DE 1.6L 4-cylinder engine.

The important drivetrain relationship is:

HR16DE 1.6L + RE0F11A/JF015E + FWD

Engine displacement alone does not guarantee fitment. Nissan used different CVT part numbers and revisions during production.

Therefore, verify the original transmission identification and VIN before purchase.

2012 vs. 2013–2016 CVT REVISIONS

The RE0F11A/JF015E family spans several Nissan Versa production revisions.

Fitment data distinguishes the 2012 Versa 1.6L from later 2013–2019 Versa 1.6L applications with different Nissan transmission assembly numbers and model-code suffixes. For example, 2012 applications are associated with model code 3JX4E, while later applications include 3JX6C/X425A/X424C variants.

Therefore, do not advertise every RE0F11A/JF015E as universally interchangeable.

Verify:

• VIN
• Production date
• RE0F11A identification
• Nissan assembly number
• Model-code suffix
• TCM calibration
• Sensors
• Electrical connectors
• Valve-body configuration

NISSAN VERSA vs. VERSA NOTE

The Versa Note also uses HR16DE/JF015E-family CVTs in certain later applications.

However, this individual product is listed primarily for:

2012–2016 Nissan Versa

Do not automatically advertise Versa Note interchange based only on engine size or JF015E family identification.

Check the exact Nissan transmission part number, production date, wiring, sensors, and calibration first.

FRONT-WHEEL-DRIVE APPLICATION

CVT FLUID SPECIFICATION

Correct fluid is especially important on the RE0F11A/JF015E.

Nissan’s 2012 Versa RE0F11A factory service data specifies Genuine Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2 for that early application.

Later Versa/Versa Note applications specify Genuine Nissan CVT Fluid NS-3; for example, Nissan’s 2016 Versa Note owner’s manual requires NS-3 and warns against mixing incorrect fluids.

Therefore, the correct service rule for a 2012–2016 replacement transmission is:

Verify the required Nissan CVT fluid by VIN, model year, original transmission part number, and factory service information before filling the transmission.

Do not mix:

• NS-2 and NS-3 without an applicable Nissan procedure
• Conventional automatic transmission fluid
• Dexron/Mercon
• Gear oil
• Unverified universal CVT fluid

NEVER REUSE OLD CVT FLUID

Do not reuse fluid from the failed transmission.

Old CVT fluid can contain:

• Metal particles
• Belt/pulley wear material
• Friction debris
• Valve-body contamination
• Oxidized fluid
• Other contaminants

Always start the replacement transmission with fresh, correct-specification Nissan CVT fluid.

FLUSH OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION COOLER SYSTEM

A failed CVT can send contamination into the cooler and cooler lines.

Before installing the replacement transmission:

• Inspect the transmission cooler.
• Inspect all cooler lines.
• Remove contamination.
• Follow Nissan’s applicable cooler-cleaning procedure.
• Replace components that cannot be safely cleaned.
• Confirm unrestricted fluid flow.

J-Spec’s published transmission requirements also call for flushing and inspecting the transmission cooling lines.

Do not connect a clean replacement CVT to a contaminated cooling circuit.

INSPECT THE TORQUE CONVERTER

Compare the replacement torque converter with the original.

Inspect:

• Converter hub
• Splines
• Mounting points
• Seal surface
• Overall configuration

Make sure the torque converter seats fully inside the transmission before installation.

Never use the bellhousing bolts to pull the transmission against the engine.

J-Spec’s published transmission installation requirements specifically call for proper torque-converter alignment.

REPLACE ACCESSIBLE SEALS

Inspect and replace worn or questionable:

• Torque-converter/front seal
• Left axle seal
• Right axle seal
• Cooler-line seals
• Other accessible transmission seals

J-Spec’s transmission requirements specifically identify front and axle seals among the service items for transmission installation.

INSPECT THE VALVE BODY AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

The RE0F11A/JF015E relies heavily on electronic and hydraulic control.

Inspect:

• Valve-body connections
• Primary speed sensor
• Secondary speed sensor
• Output speed sensor
• Range switch
• Electrical connectors
• Wiring
• Harness clips

Look for:

• Bent pins
• Corrosion
• Broken wiring
• Damaged connectors
• Physical differences between JDM and USDM units

Transfer compatible original components when required.

TCM / CVT PROGRAMMING AND INITIALIZATION

Proper electronic setup is critical after replacing a Nissan CVT.

Depending on the vehicle, applicable procedures may include:

• TCM initialization
• TCM programming
• CVT calibration
• Control-valve / valve-body data procedures
• DTC clearing
• Accelerator-pedal released-position learning
• Throttle-valve closed-position learning
• Idle-air-volume learning
• CVT relearn / road-test adaptation

Use Nissan CONSULT-compatible diagnostic equipment or another professional scan tool with applicable Nissan CVT functions.

J-Spec’s published transmission requirements also call for resetting control-module codes after installation.

SCAN THE VEHICLE BEFORE REMOVAL

Record all diagnostic trouble codes before removing the failed CVT.

Pay particular attention to:

• P0705 range-related codes
• Pressure-control codes
• CVT judder codes
• Pulley-speed codes
• Ratio-performance codes
• Torque-converter codes
• Temperature-related codes
• Engine codes
• CAN communication faults

Do not simply erase the original diagnostic history.

Use it to identify external problems that could affect the replacement transmission.

INSPECT ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS

Check all mounts for:

• Cracks
• Separation
• Excessive movement
• Damaged brackets
• Loose hardware

Worn mounts can create vibration or harsh engagement that may be mistaken for CVT failure.

INSPECT FRONT AXLES

Inspect:

• CV joints
• Axle splines
• CV boots
• Intermediate shaft components when applicable
• Excessive play
• Grease leakage

Damaged axle components can create vibration or noise that may appear to come from the transmission.
