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:
To prevent possible drivability concerns, cover all air breather and drive shaft holes to
prevent water intrusion.







Wash and clean the exterior of the CVT assembly prior to disassembling.
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.
Do not use cotton gloves or woven cloths. Latex or rubber gloves are recommended.
o 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.

o Brake cleaner is acceptable to remove remaining CVT fluid and residual sealer.
o Unpack service parts just before installation.
Use only specified sealant material.


Parts cups

Store the related parts that have
been removed separately to prevent
being mixed up; small cups can be
used.
Figure 13

NTB22-021
Non-warrantable damage to the CVT may occur if the steps in this procedure are not
followed in order.
Inspection for Abnormal Noise
HINT: If DTCs are stored, abnormal noise may be present.
Listen for any abnormal CVT noises under the following conditions:
Set the parking brake, and start the engine.

If an abnormal CVT noise stops once the CVT is shifted into Drive (D) or Reverse
(R), this bulletin does not apply.
o 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.


1.
To avoid damage to the CVT, never allow any chemicals or fluids other than
NS-3 CVT fluid or suitable cleaners to enter the CVT assembly.
To avoid damage to the CVT, never allow any foreign debris, dust, dirt, etc. to

Secure the passenger side (RH) front wheel with a suitable strap.
a. Connect the first hook of the strap to the coil spring as shown in Figure 25.
b. Route the strap around the center of the tire and attach the second hook through
the eyelet of the first hook that is attached to the coil spring.
c. Tighten the strap sufficiently to keep the passenger side (RH) front tire from
rotating but do not overtighten.
o This will assist in making the belt turn during the borescope belt inspection
step.

IMPORTANT:

Reference Figure 39 through Figure 47 on pages 25 - 28 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 on pages 145 and 146.

Before inspecting, make sure the batteries in the camera handle and LCD monitor
are charged.

a. Install the Clutch Engagement Tool (J-52273) to the CVT case with two bolts,
finger tight, where shown in Figure 27 and Figure 28 on page 19.
o Bolt torque not to exceed: 2.26 N•m (0.23 kg-m, 20 in-lb.)
o Use care when tightening the bolts as damage to the bolts/CVT could occur.
o Make sure an O-ring is installed to the Clutch Engagement Tool (J-52273)
before installation as this could lead to improper/incomplete testing.

IMPORTANT: Proper pressure has
been achieved when the CVT belt
moves while the driver side (LH) front
wheel is rotated and the CVT is in
NEUTRAL with the passenger side
(RH) front wheel secured.

it from the shipping box.

DO NOT handle the belt or
pulleys of the sub-assembly when
removing from the shipping box.


in Figure 146.
HINT: Step 111 is for kits that have a
separate spacer (Figure 145). In later kits
this spacer will be part of the lower board
and step 111 will not be used.
111. Take the spacer (Figure 145) out of
the shipping box and place it on the
work bench where the sub-assembly
will be installed, and then place the
lower board on top of the spacer as
shown in Figure 146.


Position the lower board so that it hangs over the spacer.

Align the lower board so that the left and the right cut-outs are even with the
spacer.
NOTE: The positioning of the lower board with foam cushion will allow the CVT case
enough clearance from the work bench to allow it to seat flush with the subassembly.

done, it may result in a repair being non-warrantable.
IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure:



HINT:
206.
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).

Most instructions for reprogramming with C-III plus are displayed on the
CONSULT PC screen.

If you are not familiar with the reprogramming procedure, click here. This will
link you to the "CONSULT Reprogramming for Engine or Transmission Control
Module (ECM or TCM)" general procedure.
Connect the Vehicle Interface (VI) to the vehicle.
Make sure the VI is securly connected. If the VI connection is loose during
reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the TCM may be damaged.
207.
Connect the AC Adapter to the CONSULT PC.
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.
208.
Connect a battery maintainer or smart charger, set to reflash mode or a similar
setting, to the vehicle battery.
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.
209.
Turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.) within
range of the CONSULT PC and the VI.
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.

Turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads such as exterior lights, interior lights, HVAC,
blower, rear defogger, audio, NAVI, seat heater, steering wheel heater, etc.
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.
