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.

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.

Clean the CVT Surfaces
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.
 This will assist at a later step when mating the CVT Case to the sub-assembly
and again when mating the CVT Case to the torque converter housing.
1. Remove any sealant that remains on the
sealing surface of the CVT case where it
seals with the sub-assembly side cover.

A plastic scraper can be used.

Use ONLY brake cleaner to clean
surfaces.

Clean with a lint-free paper towel.

TCM Reprogramming
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 a battery maintainer or smart charger, set to reflash mode or a similar setting,
to the vehicle battery.
CAUTION: Be sure the battery maintainer or smart charger 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.
8. Select CONSULT-III plus (open C-III plus).
