I had to replace 2 transmissions because of this same problem. Now got another to do same p0720 and won't past 3rd. I'm starting to think now that these have the same problem as the G35 with the front brake circuit in the TCM, where u go in and solder the circuit back.
Some of you probably already know but if you have an extended warranty and your car is modified (mines: long tube cold air intakes, catless exhaust, uprev tuned) your warranty may be voided. I'm having an issue with my car not shifting out of third gear. I filed a claim, there inspector came out and saw l was modified so Mercury Mechanical Protection voided my warranty.
@@domm261 yep, problem was fixed. It was the tcm (transmission control module) l took it to Infiniti dealer for repair. I forgot how much l paid but around 1k.
@@domm261 same here, I have had the car 3 months like that. I put the computer and it said speed sensor but people say it is something called valve which is like 1.5k
Aye wassup boss hope you see this but i have the same code on a G37 2013 but no issues runs perfect and shifts perfect but has the check engine, what you think?
So if I do this. I will need to re add transmission oil correct!? And that would be it? Like say for instance my sensor just came lose. Un bolt the valve body let the oil drain, replug it in and add oil and I might be good?
i gotta do this and the p0725 , u1000 and p1815 had a leak in my harness and or car and got into the ecm so i have to replace all that with the tcm appreciate this video and i really hope this is for thge p0721 as well i have the rwd is the 0720 for you estimation vehicle speed signal

Great knowledge video. Question: if a new valve body and TCM are installed that is blank (not programmed), can the vehicle still be driven in a limp mode (1-2-3 Gear) to the dealer for programming or will the vehicle not be drivable at all?
Hello I purchased a refurbished valve body and put it into my Q50 2014 RWD and it’s working well The only thing is that when I pop it into manual mode, it won’t work correctly. Also, if I try to pop it back in to drive, the D won’t show up and it stays in the gear that it was in when in manual mode. Do you think it has to do with the valve body or something was not plugged in correctly? Thanks for your input
Dreaded P0720- RWD- changed out 2 sensors to no avail- where did you get the TCM- Nissan or aftermarket? It's a common problem- but hard to find TCM's without going to Nissan and buying the entire valve body assembly for 2 grand ............. Any help is appreciated ....
Good video I have a 2007 M45 with P0717 input speed transmission but I don't know where is located,my car it's shifting good just in 2 and 3 take more time and give me a big chock ,but when the car is running for a wile that's hot the chock is lees than the beginning, you can feel it if you put a lot of attention to that, I would like to know what do you think about that, the speed it's ok ,it's running normally, do I need to program that sensor after replacement?
I'm having this issue and will change the transmission fluid (not flush), but in the instance it is the Transmission Control Module, is this a part that can be purchased on its own, or does a new Valve Body need to be purchased?
@@Thelordofthematrixtrading ended up having to buy a new valve body cause the tcm is built into it. Then the dealership had to program it. Was an expensive solution and seems to be completely unnecessary because it was not a mechanical issue in the first place. Seems to be common among Infiniti vehicles around the 70-80k mile mark.
@@lifeofbiola don’t believe you can just buy the tcm since it’s built in, but it’d be awesome if you find out how cause the valve body is likely perfectly fine.

You may be correct. I just had this problem on my Q, had to have it towed to dealership. Missed the powertrain warranty by 1 month. Now I have to pay. They are asking 2500+ to replace valve body and refill with 8 qts of fluid. They pulled a PO720 code but said the valve body is the issue. My car doesnt even have 60k miles yet. 😤.

Iam. Unfortunately I don't currently own the equipment to do reflash. The last customer it diagnosed this issue for said it was cheaper to replace the transmission with a used one than to replace the valve body alone.
Last i heard from someone I know he was quoted almost 2000 dollars. It was cheaper for him to get another transmission instead. At least thats what he told me.
@@gautorepair had a 720 today.. For the 7AT AWD it's cheaper to replace the valve body. The awd trans are between 1600 and 2500.. At infiniti in colorado it's 1750 out the door for valve body r&r and tcm reprogramming. Good vid man.
You need special equipment to program modules. A computer, a pass thru device, and subscription to the vehicle manufacturer. An alternative is a provider, such as opus with the rap2 subscription and they can program it for you remotely. However i have learned that on the Nissan 7 speed transmission the tcm is pre programmed.
Yes sorry when I replayed the video I heard you mentioned reprogramming was needed. Thanks for replying. Great video. Thanks to camara mans help in recording the troubleshooting. I know the struggle is real. Big thumbs up

what about the speed sensor p0725-00 HELPPPPP where is it located
