P1764 Nissan DTC: Direct Clutch Solenoid Valve Function

In order to determine which gear to use based upon the current driving conditions, the TCM relies on data from a number of sensors including the park neutral position switch, throttle position sensor and vehicle speed sensors. Although this data directly affects the operation of the direct clutch solenoid valve, which also affects the function of the ATF pressure switch 5. If there is an issue with the function of the D/C Solenoid Valve, a P1764 OBDII code will be set.
