CVT Installation

THESE STEPS MUST BE PERFORMED WHEN INSTALLING A NAPC REMANUFACTURED UNIT.

THESE STEPS & PROCEDURES MUST BE FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR FULL WARRANTY

Coolers and Flushing

NAPC CVT TRANSMISSIONS COME EQUIPPED WITH NECESSARY TYPE AND QUANTITY OF FLUID (LUBEGARD®’s COMPLETE™
CVT FLUID) AND SOME WITH AN AUXILIARY COOLER (SEE PAGE 15) SOME MODELS ALREADY MAY HAVE AN AUXILIARY
COOLER. THE COOLERS AND LINES MUST BE REPLACED OR FLUSHED & REVERSE FLUSHED WITH CLEAN APPROVED FLUSHING
FLUID AND EQUIPMENT AND ALL INLINE FILTERS MUST BE REPLACED. ANY DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION RESULTING
FROM CONTAMINANTS IS NOT COVERED BY THE NAPC WARRANTY.

Installation

When the transmission has been removed from the vehicle, compare it with the remanufactured transmission for proper
application before transferring any additional parts from original unit (i.e. Number of converter pads, speed sensors etc.) Install
the transmission and torque converter assembly into vehicle insuring that all electrical problems are addressed, all related
external components are in good working condition and connected properly (i.e. flex plate not bent, cracked or worn, all locating
dowels installed properly, crankshaft pilot hole correct size, free from burrs and wear. Ensure CV joints, motor mounts and
transmission mounts are in good condition. The main case connector, speed sensors and MLP (if equipped) connectors MUST
be cleaned with electrical contact cleaner. Codes should be checked BEFORE removal of transmission & documented. Radiator
coolant level must be checked for proper transmission & engine cooling.

 Speed sensor Adjustment

There are as many as 3 Speed sensors externally on these CVT transmissions. On RE0F08A CVT1 and 09A/B CVT
3 the primary speed sensor is located on the valve body. They are 3 wire hall effect sensors. They are powered
up through the ignition switch and grounded. They generate a DC pulsed signal and as speed increases so does
frequency. This signal is sent to the TCM. Because they are used on many models’ shims are used to set the
clearance of .040 between the sensor and the exciter wheel.

Use as many shims as require achieving a clearance of .040 between exciter and end of sensor. Use your
calipers to do measurements.

Speed sensor shim

Converter clearance and torque

With the bell housing bolted flush to the engine block, insure that converter bolts are loose in the flex plate holes before bolting
up the torque converter to the flex plate and insure that there is a space between the torque converter and flex plate of 1/16 to
3/16 of an inch when the torque converter is fully seated into the transmission. Use Red Loctite on the converter bolts and
torque them to specifications. Caution: DO NOT TURN ENGINE BACKWARDS WHEN REMOVING OR INSTALLING
CONVERTER BOLTS.

Programming

When the transmission is installed you must program the ECM to the latest software. If you are unable to do this, you will be
required to take it to the dealer or have someone who can come to your shop and reprogram. There have been many software
updates with the Jatco CVT transmissions, so it is imperative you have the latest software update. Search for Mobile
Programming to find someone to help you.

Initialization/Relearn

IMPORTANT: WHEN REPLACING A FAILED TRANSMISSION WITH A REPLACEMENT UNIT, IT IS

IMPORTANT TO RESET (INITALIZE) THE TCM OR P167A - CALIBRATION MISMATCH MAY SET. IF
YOU DO NOT INITALIZE THE TCM (OR CANNOT) YOU WILL HAVE TO INSTALL THE EEPROM
(ROM) FROM THE ORIGINAL UNIT.SEE PAGE 14 FOR ROM REPLACMENT.

Dodge and Jeep TCM Initialization:

A. Initial learn (brand-new module, memory already clear)

1. Battery must be connected.

2. If the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) is to be configured, configure the TIPM and then turn ignition key to
OFF/LOCKED briefly, then back to RUN.
3. The shifter must be in PARK or NEUTRAL, engine not running.
4. Turn the ignition key to RUN for 4 seconds to allow reading of new values.
5. Turn ignition key to OFF/LOCKED for 2 seconds to allow storing new values in EEPROM.
5
 6. Turn the ignition key to RUN, with scan tool clear DTCs.
7. Turn ignition key to OFF/LOCKED for 2 seconds.
8. After at least 7 seconds, read DTCs.
9. If DTCs reset, perform appropriate diagnostics for related fault codes.

B. Relearn, after replacing a transaxle

1. Turn ignition key to RUN.

2. Clear learning memory using the scan tool.
3. Turn the ignition key to OFF/LOCKED for 2 seconds.
4. Turn the ignition key to RUN Clear DTCs.
5. Turn the ignition key to OFF/LOCKED for 2 seconds.
6. Turn ignition key to RUN.
7. After at least 7 seconds, read DTCs.
8. If DTCs reset, perform appropriate diagnostics for related fault codes.

P167A - Calibration mismatch

During the initial ignition on, the Transmission Control Module (TCM) receives the calibrated data from the EEPROM assembly inside
the transmission and stores this information in the EEPROM of theTCM. At every ignition on, the TCM compares the
stored data in the EEPROM to the transmitted data from the EEPROM in the transmission. If the calibration data
does not match the DTC will set and the MIL will illuminate after one failure.
When Monitored: One time at initial ignition on with a system voltage between 9.0 and 16.0 volts.

Set Condition: If the TCM stored calibration does not match the EEPROM assembly in the transmission. This DTC requires only
one problem identification to set the MIL.

Possible Causes:

1. TCM relearn procedure not performed

2. The use of an incorrect TCM
3. The use of an incorrect EEPROM

Note: When dealing with TCM related codes, always verify the vehicles charging system voltage as well as the TCM 's power
supply and grounds. The TCM will monitor system voltage once the engine is above 450 RPM's, Secondary Pulley Pressure is
greater than 43.5 psi, along with no active implausible engine speed signal DTC's present. The TCM will then produce a P0562 for
low battery voltage only when it detects system voltage below 9.0 volts for more than 5 seconds. It is not suggested to rely on this
code being set to alert the technician that low system voltages exist. The TCM may not function correctly if system voltage is below
12 volts. If this code is stored in the PCM, it indicates that battery voltage to the PCM is less than11.7 volts. This would be far more
reliable than waiting for the TCM to report a system voltage problem. Similarly, system voltage too high code P0563 sets (more
than 16 volts past 5 seconds), after seeing engine speed above 450 RPM's, the Secondary Pulley Pressure is greater than 43.5
psi, vehicle speed is 0 mph, and there are no implausible engine speed and secondary pulley speed signals detected. The PCM is
much quicker to set this code. If it sees 1 volt higher than desired voltage for more than 5 seconds the code will set.

Possible causes with code in TCM:

1. Charging system DTC's present

2. TIPM Power control circuit DTC's present
3. Improper jump starts or by a 24 volt or higher system.
4. TCM

Nissan Relearn Procedures:

After the CVT assembly, engine assembly, and valve body assembly are replaced, their learned value must be relearned. Nissan
has 3 specific procedures. Pattern "A" is when only the TCM has been replaced. Pattern "B" is when a used TCM has been
replaced or and/or a new or used transmission or valve body was replaced. Pattern "C" is when a new TCM was replaced along
with the replacement of a new or used transmission or valve body.

6
Pattern "A”: TCM Replaced

1. Shift the selector lever to "P" position after replacing TCM.

2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check that the shift position indicator in the combination meter turns ON (It indicates approximately 1 or 2 seconds after turning
ignition switch ON.)

Note: Check the following items if shift position indicator does not turn ON, repair or replace as necessary.
A) The harness between TCM and ROM assembly in transaxle assembly is open or shorted.
B) Terminals disconnected, loose, or bent from connector housing.

Pattern "B": is when a used TCM has been replaced or and/or a new or used transmission or valve body was replaced

1. Turn ignition switch ON after replacing each part.

2. Connect scan tool to read CVT fluid temperature.
3. Start engine but do not drive.
4. Warm up transaxle assembly until approximately 68°F (20°C) or more, and then turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Turn ignition switch ON, do not start the engine and place the selector lever into Reverse.
6. Depress the accelerator pedal while depressing the brake pedal (engine off). Perform the operation of erasing DTC's
under this condition (even if no codes are set)
7. Release brake pedal and accelerator pedal and turn ignition switch OFF while keeping the selector lever in "R" position.
8. Wait approximately 10 seconds and then turn ignition switch ON while keeping the selector lever in "R" position. With the
scan tool, verify that all calibration data reads 00. Note: Restart the procedure from step 3 if all six gear values are not the
same.
9. Shift the selector lever to "P" position.
10. Check that the shift position indicator in combination meter turns ON. (It indicates approximately 1 or 2 seconds after
shifting the selector lever to "P" position.)

Pattern "C": is when a new TCM was replaced along with the replacement of a new or used transmission or valve body.

1. Replace transaxle assembly first, and then replace TCM.

2. Perform the service of "PATTERN A".
3. Perform the service of "PATTERN B" if TCM is replaced first.

Mitsubishi Initialization Procedure:

After the CVT assembly, engine assembly, and valve body assembly are replaced, their learned value must be initialized.

1. Move the selector lever to the "P" range and turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
2. Connect a scan tool to read fluid temperature. Have the vehicle where the CVT fluid temperature is equal to ambient
temperature Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position, and then move the selector lever to the "R" range.
3. Depress the accelerator pedal while depressing the brake pedal (engine off). Perform the operation of erasing DTC's
under this condition (even if no codes are set).
4. Release the pedals and then turn the ignition off while in Reverse. Then place the vehicle into Park.
5. Wait 10 seconds and start the engine and let idle in Drive for 20 seconds with the brake applied.
6. Run the vehicle at 25-30 mph (40-50 km/h) in Drive steadily for 5 seconds and come to a stop.
7. Bring CVT fluid temperature up to 176°F (80°C) and repeat steps 4 and 5.

8. Repeat steps 5-7 four more times.

Clutch Pressure Learning (Vehicle without Neutral idle; all other applied vehicles)

1. Start engine.
2. Shift the CVT into P or N and allow the engine to idle for 1 min.
3. Shift the CVT into D and accelerate the vehicle from a stop to 40 mph (0 km/h to 65 km/h) at low throttle (5-10 deg).
4. Release the throttle and coast down to 18 mph (30 kph) or less and then brake to a stop.
5. When at a complete stop turn the engine OFF.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 four more times.

Servicing

With the understanding that the first ATF change is the most important you must change the fluid and the filter at the first 20000 KM
or 12000 Miles. This will remove any debris created during break-in. After the initial oil and filter change the change interval is
50000 KM or 30000 Miles for the CVT. You must retain proof of servicing. A good idea is to keep the service records with your
warranty registration.
Registering your warranty

You must register your warranty. If you are an installing shop fax, email or mail the warranty registration to NAPC Attn. warranty
Dept. Keep a copy of the warranty registration for your records. Having this information will speed up the warranty process should
warranty work be needed. If you are installing the transmission yourself complete the warranty certificate and Fax, mail or email a
copy into NAPC Attn. Warranty Dept. Give the filled-out warranty certificate to the customer and advise them that this certificate
must be presented to get warranty work. It is advisable to keep the warranty certificate in the vehicle along with records of service.
No warranty work will be authorized until the information from the warranty registration is provided.

Troubleshooting/Diagnostics

The first step in diagnosing any drivability problem is verifying the customers complaint with a test drive under conditions that problem
reportedly occurred. Before entering self-diagnostics, perform a careful and complete visual inspection fluid level and leak check.
Most transmission control problems result from mechanical breakdowns or poor electrical connections. Input signals from sensors
are sent to Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM can determine when time and conditions are right for a shift or converter
clutch application. The PCM can also determine line pressure needed to optimize shift feel. You must ensure all inputs are in
perfect working order.

Always start diagnostics and testing with a battery, charging system and ground check.

Battery and charging

The first thing to do is check the battery voltage before you even start the engine. The battery voltage with the engine off should be
around 12.6 volts. This is the measurement across the battery posts. Once you start the engine, charging system and battery voltage
should be about 14.0 volts. Many vehicles have solenoid codes and engine performance issues with low battery voltage. The vehicle
may start just fine and you can’t tell the battery has low voltage unless you measured it with a meter.

8
 Ground check:

Connect the negative lead of the meter to the negative side of the battery, and the positive lead to the engine ground. With the engine
running, you should have less than 0.1 volts. Now move the lead from the engine and test the transmission case. You should have
the same reading. Move the lead from the transmission to the body ground. The engine, transmission and body should all have less
than 0.1 volts. If one is higher than the other, you need to inspect the wire and mounting condition.

Some examples of things that can cause no ratio change and no lockup:

1. Shorted third brake lights or brake lights not functioning properly can cause no ratio change and or no lockup. The top
mount third brake light on the Nissan SUVs are notorious for water intrusion and shorting out. (Check it)
2. Wheel speed sensor signals being out 3mph wheel to wheel even with no codes present can cause no ratio change and or
no lockup. A dirty reluctor wheel and that’s all it takes to cause transmission issues. Wheel speed sensor codes may not
appear, but they still have problems.
3. Pull speed sensor out of hub and check for metal from a failing wheel bearing.
4. New CV axles that have been changed without exciter ring for speed sensor causing no ratio change.
5. Different size tires can cause no ratio change or no lockup. (Check tire size and inflation)
6. Bad battery or alternator can cause no ratio change and or no lockup. (Check the battery and charging system)
7. Blown fuses in engine bay fuse box and in all the fuse box locations can cause no ratio change and or no lockup (fuse
boxes behind glove box, under dash, behind floor kick panels)
8. Steering wheel angle and yaw or “g” sensor in Nissans misaligned or reading improperly can cause intermittent problems.
(You can usually reset these with your scanner set to functional tests)

Failsafe operation

When the fail-safe operation occurs, the CVT will not be shifted into the selected driving position.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions, such as excessive wheel spinning and subsequent hard
braking, the fail-safe system may be activated. The MIL may come on to indicate the fail-safe mode is activated. This will even
occur even if the electrical circuits are functioning properly. In this case, turn the ignition to the OFF position and wait for 10
seconds. The vehicle should return to its normal operating condition. When the high fluid temperature protection mode or fail-safe
operation occurs, vehicle speed may be gradually reduced. The reduced speed may be lower than other traffic, which could
increase the chance of
collision. If driving the vehicle under these conditions, it is best to find a safe place on the side of the road and allow the
transmission to return to normal operation or be towed back to the shop for diagnostics and repairs.

Electrical testing

These transmissions are positively driven. They receive a positive signal from the computer to activate the solenoid. Nissan and
Mitsubishi have the solenoids grounded at the valve body where Chrysler uses pin #6 for ground.

 Range Sensors

System voltage is supplied to one of the PNP Switch (TRS) terminals which is used to be directed to the
TCM depending on the gear selection made. For Dodge, Jeep and Mitsubishi it is terminal 3. Nissan it is terminal 5. The continuity
check chart shown below shows not only how to inspect the switch with an ohm meter, it also reveals how electrical checks can
be made of the switch in the vehicle. For example: Voltage supply to the switch and signal voltage to the TCM should never be lost
while the ignition is on and/or engine is running.

 CVT ROM REPLACEMENT
The ROM contains data specific for the vehicle.
PROBLEM: After exchanging a complete transmission (CVT) or valve body assembly, the vehicle does not change ratios and code
P167A Calibration Mismatch is stored in memory.

CAUSE: Mounted on the valve body is an electrical component called an ROM.

This ROM contains calibration information pertaining to vehicle (tire size, engine size, if it has
Autostick or not, etc.) which must match with the TCM.

If an ROM from a different vehicle is used a P167A may set

During the initial ignition on, the Transmission Control Module (TCM) receives the calibrated
data from the ROM assembly inside the transmission and stores this information in the
ROM of the TCM. At every ignition on, the TCM compares the stored data in the EEPROM to the transmitted data from the ROM in
the transmission. If the calibration data does not match the DTC may set and the MIL will illuminate after one failure.

NOTE: If you are unable to or unsuccessful at initializing the TCM as discussed earlier in this document an
alternative to initialization is replacing the EEROM/ROM with the one from the original transmission.

To alleviate this the ROM must be replaced with the original.

 AUXALLIARY COOLER
JATCO CVTS ACHIEVE FAST CVT HEATING, WITH LOWER FUEL CONSUMPTION EVEN FOR
DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES BY USING A CVT WARMER.

Oil is essential for the proper function of a CVT. A shared feature of all types of oils and fats is that oil viscosity is
higher at low temperature, such as during an engine cold start. If oil viscosity is high, the engine cannot run smoothly,
placing a strain on the engine. The CVT Oil Warmer quickly heats CVT oil to an appropriate temperature,
immediately improving fuel efficiency. This is particularly helpful in colder regions or for short drives.
an engine that combusts fuel internally finishes heating comparatively quickly, but transmission, with friction heat
from driving as its main heat source, takes more time to warm up. The CVT Oil Warmer heats up the transmission,
creating a state where the vehicle can run efficiently quickly.
The CVT Oil Warmer utilizes engine cooling water and quickly increases the temperature of the CVT oil until it
reaches an appropriate heat. As a result, it reduces the time when the oil is at low temperature, placing a great burden
on the engine.

These warmers do not provide much protection from Transmission overheating and resulting default mode.
Some NAPC CVTs are equipped with Warmers that have ports for connection to an included auxiliary cooler.

1. Follow the instructions included with the cooler and make connections to the two small ports on the warmer.
2. Tighten connections and check for leaks after road-testing.
