If Continuously Variable Transaxle (CVT) parts are replaced, perform the following as necessary:
| Replaced Part | Transaxle Compensation Code | Reset Memory (Learned Values) | CVT Oil Pressure Calibration | Road Test | |
| Continuously variable transaxle assembly | Input | Reset | Initialize | Necessary | |
| Transmission valve body assembly | Initialize | Reset | Initialize | Necessary | |
| Oil pressure sensor | - | Reset | Initialize | Necessary | |
| ECM
(If possible, read the transaxle compensation code from the previous ECM) |
Possible to read transaxle compensation code | Input (Into new ECM) | - | Initialize | Necessary |
| Impossible to read transaxle compensation code | Initialize | - | Initialize | Necessary | |
Reset Memory cannot be completed by only disconnecting and reconnecting the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
After performing Reset Memory, perform CVT Oil Pressure Calibration.
RESET TRANSAXLE COMPENSATION CODE
Do not start the engine.
Move the shift lever to P and apply the parking brake.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / A/T Code Reset.
| Tester Display |
|---|
| A/T Code Reset |
Select "Next" again to proceed.
After the transaxle compensation code is initialized, perform Reset Memory and Perform Road Test to Allow ECM to Learn.
Select "Exit".
PERFORM RESET MEMORY
Do not start the engine.
Move the shift lever to P and apply the parking brake.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / Reset Memory.
| Tester Display |
|---|
| Reset Memory |
Make sure that the shift lever is in P.
Make sure that the engine is stopped. To prevent vibrations, do not start the engine.
Make sure that the ignition switch is ON.
PERFORM CVT OIL PRESSURE CALIBRATION
Turn the ignition switch off and wait at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait at least 2 seconds.
Do not start the engine.
Zero point calibration of the oil pressure sensor is performed when the ignition switch is turned to ON (engine stopped). However, zero point calibration will not be performed when any of the following conditions are met:
Oil pressure sensor value is 0.065 MPa (0.663 kgf/cm2, 9.43 psi) or more.
CVT oil temperature is 0°C (32°F) or less or 120°C (248°F) or more.
Start the engine and wait at least 5 seconds.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / CVT Oil Pressure Calibration.
| Tester Display |
|---|
| CVT Oil Pressure Calibration |
During CVT Oil Pressure Calibration, the engine idle speed will increase.
When "Complete" is displayed on the screen, CVT Oil Pressure Calibration is complete.
The learned values cannot be cleared by only disconnecting and reconnecting the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
PERFORM ROAD TEST TO ALLOW ECM TO LEARN
Perform the following procedures while strictly observing all traffic laws and speed limits.
Do not accelerate or decelerate rapidly.
Warm up the engine.
With the shift lever in D, after gradually accelerating to 50 km/h (31 mph) or more, gradually decelerate until the vehicle stops.
After accelerating, deceleration does not need to be performed immediately.
Repeat the road test until the shift shock and engine speed overrun (engine speed flare when shifting) reach an acceptable level.
When repeating the acceleration/deceleration cycle of a road test pattern, bring the vehicle to a complete stop before accelerating again.
PERFORM ATF THERMAL DEGRADATION ESTIMATE RESET
If either of the following conditions is met, perform ATF Thermal Degradation Estimate Reset:
The CVT fluid has been replaced.
If 50000 or more is displayed for the Data List item "ATF Thermal Degradation Estimate", thermal degradation of the CVT fluid is suspected. Perform ATF Thermal Degradation Estimate Reset after replacing the CVT fluid.
Approximately 50% or more of the CVT fluid has been replaced during a repair of the transaxle or a similar operation.
Do not start the engine.
According to the display on the GTS, initialize the estimated thermal degradation value.

AIR BLEED OIL PUMP WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY
Bleed the oil pump with motor assembly after replacing the continuously variable transaxle assembly or replacing the CVT fluid.
