How to Initialize Continuously Variable Transaxle (CVT) Learned Value

HOW TO INITIALIZE CVT LEARNED VALUE

PURPOSE
After the CVT assembly, engine assembly, and valve body assembly are replaced, their learned value must be initialized. The initialization procedure is as below.

INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
1. Move the selector lever to the "P" range and turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position. Then, connect the scan tool to the data link connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position, and then move the selector lever to the "R" range.
3. Depress the accelerator pedal while depressing the brake pedal. (Engine is not running.) Using the scan tool, execute the clear DTC function for the CVT ECU (even if no codes are set).

NOTE: Performing initialization of the learned value will also erase the diagnostic trouble code.
