SERVICE PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT: Repairs performed for this bulletin require CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus)
Diagnostic result reporting function-Setting be turned ON and Diagnosis (All Systems) be
performed. If not done, it may result in a repair being non-warrantable.

Precautions when Disassembling a CVT Assembly

IMPORTANT:
Transmissions are vulnerable to particle contamination (dust, metal, lint, etc.).
When disassembling a CVT, make sure your work environment (shop, workbench, etc.),
transmission area (sub-frame, oil pan, harness connector, etc.), and your hands are free of
any contamination.
It is essential that any foreign contamination be kept out of the CVT internals. Disassembly
and re-assembly shall be carried out under the following conditions:
 Wash and clean the exterior of the CVT assembly prior to disassembling.
CAUTION: Cover all air breather and drive shaft holes to prevent water intrusion.
 Work in a covered indoor room to prevent contamination of the CVT.
 Work on clean stainless drain table.
 Avoid debris from dropping into the converter housing, side cover or CVT case.
 Remove any sealant remaining on bolts or mating surfaces of the converter housing,
side cover and/or the CVT case using a scraper, and then clean with lint-free paper
cloths.
 Store removed parts separately to prevent mix-up. (i.e. small cups)
 Do not use cotton gloves or woven cloths. Latex or rubber gloves are recommended.
 Only lint-free paper cloths.
 Apply rust penetrant to locator / dowel pins on torque converter housing and side
cover of CVT and allow to soak as needed.
 Only disassemble those parts which are mentioned in this bulletin.
 Make sure all parts are clean prior to assembling / installing.
 Brake cleaner is acceptable to remove remaining CVT fluid and residual sealer.
 Unpack service parts just before installation.
 Use only specified sealant material.

CAUTION: Non-warrantable damage to the CVT may occur if the

steps in this procedure are not followed in order.

Inspect for Abnormal Noise

NOTE: If DTCs are stored, abnormal noise may be present.
1. Listen for any abnormal CVT noises under the following conditions:

Set the parking brake, start the engine, and then,

 If an abnormal CVT noise stops once the CVT is shifted into drive or reverse, this
bulletin does not apply.
 Refer to ASIST for further diagnostic information.
 If an abnormal CVT noise occurs while the CVT is in Drive (D) or reverse (R),
proceed to Control Valve (Valve Body) Removal on the next page.

2. Place the vehicle on a lift.

3. Before lifting the vehicle, place the transmission gear selector in Neutral.

4. Disconnect both battery cables, negative cable first.

5. Raise the vehicle, and then drain the CVT fluid by removing the drain plug.
 Remove engine under cover if needed.
CAUTION: Use caution when looking into the drain hole as there is the risk of fluid
entering the eye.

6. Disconnect the engine room harness from the CVT.

7. Remove the drain plug gasket from the drain plug.

CVT Belt Visual Inspection

1. Secure the front right tire with a suitable

strap.
 This will assist in making the belt turn
during the borescope belt inspection
step.

2. Mark the front left tire with a suitable

marking.
 This will assure all 360° of the belt is
inspected.
Figure 1C

3. Using the steps on pages 14-19 inspect the entirety of the two sides of the belt that
come in contact with the pulleys (see Figure 2C):

IMPORTANT:
 Reference the pictures on pages 20-23 for comparison.
 Use borescope J-51951 with mirror attachment.
 Be sure to remove the protective film from the mirror before the first use.
 Clean the camera lens and mirror before each inspection. Use 90% isopropyl
alcohol, and a lens swab from Lens Swab packet J-51963 listed in PARTS
INFORMATION.
 Before inspecting, make sure the camera handle’s AA batteries are fresh and the
LCD monitor’s battery is charged.

Inspect these sides

 a. Install the Clutch Engagement Tool (J-52273) to the CVT case with two bolts where
shown in Figure 3C finger tight.
 Bolt torque not to exceed: 2.26 N•m (0.23 kg-m, 20 in-lb.)
CAUTION:
 Do not over torque the bolts. The threads are easily damaged.
 Make sure an O-ring is installed to the Clutch Engagement Tool (J-52273)

b. Connect the Hand pump from Evap

Pressure Test Kit (J-42909) to the Hand pump
Clutch Engagement Tool (J-52273)
and pump to 20 PSI.
IMPORTANT:
 Proper pressure has been
achieved when the CVT belt
moves while the left front wheel
is rotated and the vehicle is in
NEUTRAL with the right front
wheel secured.
 Do NOT over pressurize the
system as internal damage to Figure 4C
the CVT could result.
 Hand pump should be removed from the Clutch Engagement Tool (J-52273)
quick connect once the clutch has been engaged and the belt is observed
moving with tire rotation.
 Pressure will be retained.

14/138 NTB17-034h
 c. Insert the borescope where shown in Figure 5C as follows:
I. Face the mirror of the borescope toward the driver’s side of the vehicle (CVT
side cover).
II. Insert the lens approximately 7.5 inches from the CVT oil pan gasket surface
as shown in Figure 6C on page 16.
III. And then view the side of the belt that contacts the pulley.

 Holding the borescope (camera flexible tube) with one hand allows rotation of the
tire with the other hand (see Figure 7C).

IMPORTANT: If the belt does not move when rotating the front left tire, supply
additional air with hand pump (J-45664) to re-engage the clutch as necessary.

 Look for evidence of belt slip as shown on pages 20-23.

g. Remove the Clutch Engagement Tool (J-52273) from the CVT.

CAUTION: The remaining CVT fluid may spray when the Clutch Engagement Tool is
removed. Place a rag over the Clutch Engagement tool and SLOWLY loosen the two
bolts until the audible depressurization is noted.

h. Is the inspection result OK (no evidence of slip) for 360° rotation of both sides of the
belt?

YES: Go to step 4 on page 24 (No Belt Damage).

NO: Go to step 5 on page 24 (Belt Damaged).

CAUTION: During the next two steps;

 Avoid any debris from dropping into the torque converter housing, side cover or the
CVT case. It is extremely important to keep any debris away from CVT internals to
prevent drivability concerns.
 Use brake cleaner to remove the remaining CVT fluid and any residual sealant.
 Do not use sanding discs, abrasive tools, or metal blades on sealing surfaces.
 To clean dowel pins a mild abrasive sandpaper can be used to remove all rust and
debris.

IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure:

 ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current date.
 All C-III plus software updates (if any) have been installed.
 The CONSULT PC is connected to the internet (Wi-Fi, or cable).

1. Connect the plus Vehicle Interface (plus VI) to the vehicle.

CAUTION: Make sure the plus VI is securly connected. If the plus VI connection is
loose during reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the TCM may be
damaged.

2. Connect the AC Adapter to the CONSULT PC.

CAUTION: Be sure to connect the AC Adapter. If the CONSULT PC battery voltage
drops during reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the TCM may be
damaged.

3. Connect the GR8, set to “Power Supply” mode, to the vehicle battery.
CAUTION: Be sure the GR8 is connected securely to the battery. Make sure the
battery voltage stays between 12.0V and 15.5V during reprogramming. If the battery
voltage goes out of this range during reprogramming, the TCM may be damaged.

4. Turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.) within range
of the CONSULT PC and the VI.
CAUTION: Make sure to turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices. If Bluetooth®
signal waves are within range of the CONSULT PC and the VI during
reprogramming, reprogramming may be interrupted and the TCM may be damaged.

5. Turn the ignition ON with the engine OFF.

 The engine must not start or run during the reprogramming procedure.

6. Turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads such as exterior lights, interior lights, HVAC,
blower, rear defogger, audio, NAVI, seat heater, steering wheel heater, etc.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads. Make sure the
battery voltage stays between 12.0V and 15.5V during reprogramming. If the battery
voltage goes out of this range during reprogramming, the TCM may be damaged.

7. Turn ON the CONSULT PC.

 If CVT inspection indicates CVT assembly replacement is required:

a. Complete the PCC CVT Preauthorization Form in ASIST.

b. Attach the required video (15 seconds or less) to the CVT Preauthorization
Form.
 Failure to submit a continuous video showing evidence of abnormalities
and the VIN will cause immediate denial of request for CVT unit
replacement.

c. Call the PCC for authorization at 800-973-9992 (opt 2).

IMPORTANT: Make sure the video has a clear image of the VIN on the F.M.V.S.S.
certification label (VIN label).
