And then,


2WD vehicles skip to step 2 below.



Vehicles with all-wheel drive, install
the transfer case as follows:

Transfer
case

a. Replace only the external O-ring to
the transfer case and then install
the transfer case to the CVT.


Apply CVT fluid to the O-ring.

NOTE:
 Refer to the ESM, section
DLN – Driveline, for the
transfer assembly installation.

Figure 16J

 Use extreme caution when installing the axle to the transfer assembly to
avoid seal damage or deformation.
 Properly support and guide the axle.
b. Proceed to step 2.
2. Flush the CVT cooler.
IMPORTANT: A CVT Cooler flush is required. Refer to bulletin NTB15-013 to perform
CVT Cooler flush.
3. Connect both battery cables, negative cable last.
4. Reset/reinitialize systems as needed.


Refer to the ESM, section PG – Power Supply & Ground Elements, for a listing of
systems that require reset/initialization after reconnecting the 12V battery.



Look in the PG section index for ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN REMOVING
BATTERY NEGATIVE TERMINAL.



This list often includes items such as radio, power windows, clock, sunroof, etc.

5. Refer to step 6 on page 80 and confirm if a TCM reprogram is available for the vehicle
you are working on.
Is a reprogram available?


YES: Perform TCM reprogramming starting on page 78.



NO: Proceed to step 16 on page 85.

TCM Reprogramming
IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure:


ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current date.



All CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus) software updates (if any) have been installed.

NOTE:


Most instructions for reprogramming with C-III plus are displayed on the CONSULT
PC screen.



If you are not familiar with the reprogramming procedure, click here. This will link
you to the "CONSULT- III plus (C-III plus) Reprogramming" general procedure.

CAUTION:


Connect the GR8 to the vehicle battery, set to “power supply” mode.
If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or rises above 15.5V during
reprogramming, the TCM may be damaged.



Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads.
If a vehicle electrical load remains ON, the TCM may be damaged.



Be sure to connect the AC Adapter.
If the CONSULT PC battery voltage drops during reprogramming, the process
will be interrupted and the TCM may be damaged.



Turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.)
within range of the CONSULT PC and the VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are
within range of the CONSULT PC during reprogramming, reprogramming may
be interrupted and the TCM may be damaged.
