1. Replace only the external O-ring
to the transfer case and then
install the transfer case to the
CVT.
2. Apply CVT fluid to the O-ring.
HINT:
 Refer to the ESM, section
Driveline, for the
Figure 176
transfer case 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.
3. Proceed to step 137.
137. Flush the CVT cooler.
To avoid introducing debris into the CVT hydraulic system on Rogue models that have an
external CVT cooler, a cooler flush is required after a valve body or CVT assembly
replacement.

TCM Reprogramming
G.

IMPORTANT: Repairs performed for this bulletin require CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus)
Diagnostic result reporting function-Setting be turned ON and Diagnosis (All Systems) be
performed. If not done, it may result in a repair being non-warrantable.

IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure:
 ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current date.
 All C-III plus software updates (if any) have been installed.
 The CONSULT PC is connected to the Internet (Wi-Fi or cable).
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.



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 plus VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves
are within range of the CONSULT PC or plus VI during reprogramming,
reprogramming may be interrupted and the TCM may be damaged.
