Hi, I'm Dan.
Short answer is yes, the VIN must be programmed to the replacement Transmission's TCM. (Trans Control Module). Most likely this will require a Nissan Factory scan tool.
I've also attached a TCM code list for the transmission. Check for codes in the trans and the engine to see if you have any communications codes.
