![]() ![]() Persistence is what ultimately led me to success, and is what led me to post the procedures for other CVT owners to benefit from. Having the vehicle's electric radiator fans turn on is a good indication it's at operating temp. Another potential issue to consider is if the the car was not up to operating temp (I made sure mine was). My guess is it was because I hadn't turned on my headlights that the procedure had called for. It took me several tries at the above procedures to finally get the D indicator to "turn off" properly on my Insight. There are plenty of write ups about that. "As well, it has a jittering while driving." I assume you have cleaned your EGR plate. ![]() If you have success please be sure to let us know! Taking short cuts is definitely a recipe for failure instead of success (just my personal experience, your mileage may vary).Īll the info above is for a G1 Insight.although it's likely the same, I have no idea if it will work for a Civic. No idea why skipping steps would be wise when they are really pretty easy steps to perform. When my Honda Insight CVT wasn't acting properly, I did all the steps (including 12v battery disconnect). If you don't short the pins, you are just shifting the shifter without making any change/correction to the transmission.you would just be shifting in and out of low to neutral and the D indicator light will never illuminate. The 4-9pin cross tells the car you are conducting a special service procedure. I would never "flush" the CVT.only drain and fill. I hope the service guy put in the correct Honda G1 CVT fluid. following the above procedures finally got me to success!! If unsuccessful to reach completion, repeat the SCS start clutch procedure again. Test drive the vehicle, and smile because your CVT acts like it should again!! Otherwise, turn the ignition switch OFF to reach completion. If it stays on longer than about 2 minutes, or begins to blink, start the procedure over from "Turn OFF the key" When the D indicator turns off, shift to Drive and the D indicator should turn on again.Īfter no more than about 2 minutes the D indicator should turn back off (about 30 seconds for me) If it starts blinking or stays on after one minute, start the procedure over from "Turn OFF the key" In less than one minute the D indicator should turn off Shift from Neutral to Low and back to Neutral 3 times within 20 seconds (N-L-N-L-N-L-N) Turn on the headlights (headlights need to remain on during the entire procedure) Step firmly on the brake and continue to do so throughout the procedure Short pins 4 & 9 on the OBDII port (I made an OBDII plug with pin 4 connected to pin 9) With the car hot at operating temp (radiator fans turning on at idle.in gear w/park brake applied) SCS Start clutch procedure: (Do PGM Clutch Relearn Procedure First) (I repeated this process two or three times) Make sure the IMA isn't charging (green bars) and turn off all electrical loads (radio,lights,etc)Ĭoast down for at least 5 seconds without touching the brakes (coasting uphill may help as it can result in a significant difference in MAP readings) Warm the car to operating temp (radiator fans turning on at idle.in gear w/park brake applied) PGM Start Clutch Relearn Procedure: (This needs to be done anytime the 12v battery is disconnected) If changing fluid - drop and clean the pan+magnets, change the canister filter, refill with genuine Honda G1 CVT fluid ![]() Repeat the powerbrake and cool down for each additional gear: Reverse and Low Next, allow to cool for 2 minutes at 3000 rpm Honda says the RPM should reach 2500 revs (spec 2350-2650 rpm) ![]() (Powerbraking is first stepping firmly on the brake and then applying full throttle to the engine. Warm up the car to operating temp and powerbrake the car in Drive for 6-8 seconds. If you need to change your CVT fluid and filter, do the burnishing procedure first.īurnishing procedure (smooths the surfaces between the pulleys and the belt): I started by clearing any CVT codes - disconnect the 12v battery for 10 minutes, then re-connect battery ![]()
