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

 Use extreme caution when installing the axle to the transfer case
assembly to avoid seal damage or deformation.
 Properly support and guide the axle.
b. Proceed to step 130.
130. Flush the CVT cooler.
IMPORTANT: For those vehicles that have an external CVT cooler, a cooler flush is
required after a valve body or CVT assembly replacement. Refer to bulletin
NTB15-013 to perform CVT Cooler flush.
131. Connect both battery cables, negative cable last.
132. Reset/reinitialize systems as needed.


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



Look for ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN REMOVING BATTERY NEGATIVE
TERMINAL.



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

133. Refer to step 139 on page 79 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 149 on page 85.

TCM Reprogramming
G.

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 a battery maintainer or smart charger set to reflash mode or a similar
setting. 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.
