Honda Jazz/City CVT Reset Procedures

Thanks to CVT!

1. Start the car and run it to operating temp (no other electricals must be used like aircon, radio, power windows, mirrors, lights). Keep the doors closed so that the dome light is not on.
2. Shut down the engine
3. Start engine again and turn on headlights, without operating any other electrical load (other than headlights).
4. From P(ark), shift to N, D, S, L, S, D, N while waiting at least 2 seconds before shifting to the next position
5. Repeat the N, D, S, L, S, D, N sequence for 3 times
6. Turn-off headlights
7. Shutdown engine
8. Drive and investigate if the fuel consumption decreases.

Sorry for the ignorant questions, but what is the purpose of resetting the CVT?

Is this the same procedure, after changing to a new battery?

Yes, bro.

It is encouraged that you have your battery changed at Honda Cars because they need to reprogram your CVT (for those who has this type of transmission in their City or Jazz cars). Trouble is, there, the battery is expensive and you pay for the reprogramming activity.

So with this, you can buy your battery from any of the dealers and reprogram the CVT yourself. A much more cost-effective alternative.

I am just wondering why these car manufacturers did not use non-volatile memories, like flash to store the program values so that you need not program the CVT when you change battery. Well.....

so does this mean that you need to reconfigure your CVT back over again everytime you disconnect your battery? For most repairs, they recommend disconnecting the battery?

That is how I understand it bro. I could be wrong.

Although I disconnected my battery only once when I changed it over half a year ago. Did not try though to drive the car without going through the above procedure to feel/assess if there's a change in the shifting pattern....

*cvt,

sir pa enlighten lang po..

magkaiba po ba yung reprogram ng cvt at calibration ng cvt?

tama po ba yung pag nag palit ka ng battery eh dun lang irereprogram yung cvt at hindi kailangan icalibrate yung cvt?

nalilito lang po talaga ako

salamat po

Yes, that was what I did with my former Jazz CVT.

I replaced the battery and then, I reprogrammed the CVT using the procedure that was shared here....

Calibration, in my opinion, may be required if the car is not performing to your expectations after doing the above. And, you need to have Honda do this for you, unless you have identified shops which can do the same...

Follow up on this cvt reprograming. Is this applicable to honda city VX model 2014 model? Lately i experienced my city cvt transmission unusual shifting since the battery was disconnected. The rpm goes up when decending down heel then when highway cruising sometimes rpm is hunting UP & down causing the engine to rev high. I brought it to honda casa they diagnosed and found no fault , and they are recommending palit ng transmission!!! Need help if any one of you have to recommend on me. Thanks
