Service Notice or Precaution

CVT FLUID COOLER SERVICE
If CVT fluid contains friction material (clutches, brakes, etc.), or if a CVT is replaced, inspect and clean the
CVT fluid cooler mounted in the radiator or replace the radiator. Flush cooler lines using cleaning solvent and compressed air after repair. For CVT fluid cooler cleaning procedure, refer to See: Transmission Cooler\Description and Operation. For radiator replacement, refer to See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust\Cooling System\Radiator\Service and Repair.

OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSIS

• CVT self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. The results can be read through the blinking pattern of the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Refer to the table on See: Testing and Inspection\Scan Tool Testing and Procedures\CVT RE0F10A\CONSULT-III Function (Transmission) for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic result.
• The self-diagnostic results indicated by the MIL are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM memories. Always perform the procedure on See: Testing and Inspection\Component Tests and General Diagnostics\CVT RE0F10A\On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System to complete the repair and avoid unnecessary blinking of the MIL.

For details of OBD-II, refer to (for California), (except for California).

• Certain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use the new style slide-locking type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer to See: Power and Ground Distribution\Multiple Junction Connector\Description and Operation\Coupe (Coupe) or See: Power and Ground Distribution\Multiple Junction Connector\Description and Operation\Sedan (Sedan).
