CVT Assembly Replacement Approval Procedures

23.

Complete the PCC CVT Preauthorization Form in ASIST.

24.

If CVT replacement is required based
on the inspection results from steps 18
and 19, use borescope J-51951 to
record a continuous video, 15 seconds
or less, of the most severe evidence of
belt slip and the VIN on the F.M.V.S.S.
certification label (VIN label). See
Figure 23.

VIN
label

Figure 23
NOTE: This required video must be attached to the Powertrain Call Center CVT
Preauthorization Form (in ASIST) prior to calling for authorization. Failure to submit
a continuous video will cause immediate denial of request for replacement.




25.

Before starting to record, make sure the camera handle’s AA batteries are
charged and the LCD monitor’s battery is charged.
The video will show a backward or reversed image when the mirror end is used;
this is okay.
The required video must show clear evidence of belt slippage and be 15 seconds
or less.

Call the PCC for authorization at 800-973-9992 (opt 2).
