Control Valve (Valve Body) Strainer and Pan Installation

IMPORTANT:


Installation steps in this bulletin may contain different style parts than what were
originally installed in the CVT. Pay careful attention, REASSEMBLY MAY NOT BE
IDENTICAL TO DISASSEMBLY.



Confirm that the QR label, control valve and CD part numbers all match before
installing the control valve (refer to NTB12-103).



For additional information, see video # 547: “CVT Belt and Pulley Replacement” and
fast forward to minute marker 19:52. This video is located under the TECH
TRAINING GARAGE VIDEOS tab in Virtual Academy.

CAUTION: Handle the valve body carefully.

NOTE: If an oil strainer bracket was
removed, discard it. An oil strainer
bracket (Figure 1J) will not be used with
the new oil strainer.

3. Replace the metal bracket of the fluid temperature sensor as follows:
NOTE: The new bracket will be oriented the same way the old bracket was.
a. Cut the old plastic zip tie with an appropriate tool to remove the fluid temperature

sensor’s metal bracket from the terminal harness assembly (Figure 6J and Figure
7J).
CAUTION: Cut the plastic zip tie over the metal bracket to avoid damage to the fluid
temperature sensor.
b. Discard the removed metal bracket and plastic zip tie.

c. Use the new plastic zip tie from the Parts Information to attach the fluid temperature

sensor of the terminal connector harness to the fluid temperature sensor’s new metal
bracket.
IMPORTANT:
 Locate the plastic zip tie at the center notch of three notches on the fluid
temperature sensor (Figure 7J).


Tighten the plastic zip tie so that it is oriented as shown in Figure 6J.

d. Cut off the plastic zip tie excess.
