Continuously Variable Transmission

NOTE: When the following parts are replaced, the PCM must memorize the feedback signal for the start clutch control.

- PCM
- Transmission assembly
- Start clutch assembly
- Lower valve body assembly
- Engine assembly or overhaul

1. Engage the parking brake, and block the front wheels securely.




2. Connect the SCS service connector to Service Check Connector as shown. (The Service Check Connector (2P) is located under the dash on the passenger's side of the vehicle.)
3. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on twice).
4. Fully depress the brake pedal and accelerator for 20 seconds in the D position.
5. Shift into N or P position.
- To store the engine negative pressure in memory, let the engine idle in N or P position for one minute under the following conditions:
- With the brake pedal depressed.
- With the NC switch OFF.
- With the combination light switch OFF.
- With the heater fan switch OFF.
- Turn OFF all other electrical systems.

NOTE: Start step 5 within 60 seconds after the radiator fan goes off.

6. Shift into D position, and let the engine idle for two minutes to store the feedback signal in memory under the same conditions as in step 5.
7. Connect the Honda PGM Tester. Check that the PCM has completed the start clutch calibration.

NOTE:
- The PCM will not store the feedback signal when the CVT fluid temperature is below 4O°C (104°F) even if the engine coolant temperature reaches the normal operating temperature.
- Repeat these procedures until the start clutch calibration is completed.

8. Disconnect the SCS service connector from the Service Check Connector.


NOTE: PCM memorizes the feedback signal when you drive the vehicle as follows:
- After warning up the engine (the radiator fan comes on).
- Shift into D position.
- Turn OFF all electrical systems.
- Drive the vehicle up to the speed 37 mph (60 km/h).
- After the speed reaches 37 mph (60 km/h), release the accelerator for 5 seconds.
