Abstract

The Infiniti P1715 error code indicates a problem with the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) input speed sensor signal. This sensor monitors the rotational speed of the transmission input shaft, and when it fails or sends incorrect signals, it can cause transmission shifting problems, reduced fuel economy, and potential transmission damage if left untreated.
