The necessary procedures (adjustment, calibration, initialization, or registration) that must be performed after parts are removed and installed, or replaced during the continuously variable transaxle assembly removal/installation are shown below.

NECESSARY PROCEDURES AFTER PARTS REMOVED/INSTALLED/REPLACED

Replacement Part or Procedure	Necessary Procedures	Effect/Inoperative Function When Necessary Procedures are not Performed	Link
Continuously variable transaxle assembly	Input transaxle compensation code into ECM CVT oil pressure calibration Perform road test to allow ECM to learn	Deterioration of fuel efficiency	for Initialization: Refer to INITIALIZATION [11/2023 - ] for Registration: Refer to REGISTRATION [11/2023 - ]
CVT fluid	ATF thermal degradation estimate reset	The value of the Data List item "ATF Thermal Degradation Estimate" is not estimated correctly	Refer to INITIALIZATION [11/2023 - ]
CVT fluid	Bleed air from oil pump (continuously variable transaxle assembly)	Stop and start system	Refer to REGISTRATION [09/2021 - ]
Front wheel alignment adjustment	Perform "Reset Memory" Perform "Calibration"	DTCs are stored ABS warning light illuminates Slip indicator light illuminates Electronically controlled brake system does not operate correctly	Refer to UTILITY [11/2022 - ]
No. 2 steering intermediate shaft assembly	End position initial setting	Power steering system	Refer to END POSITION INITIAL SETTING [11/2022 - ]
Suspension, tires, etc.	Rear television camera assembly optical axis (Back camera position setting)	Parking assist monitor system	Refer to CALIBRATION [11/2022 - ]
Suspension, tires, etc.	Initialize headlight ECU sub-assembly LH	Automatic headlight beam level control system	Refer to INITIALIZATION [11/2022 - ]

WARNING:

Because the continuously variable transaxle assembly is extremely heavy, make sure to follow the work procedures described in the appropriate service information .

*a	Heavy object exceeding the capacity of the transmission jack

If work is not performed according to the procedures described in the appropriate service information , there is a danger that the transmission jack could drop and components could fall down.

When the engine is hot, do not touch high-temperature areas such as the engine or exhaust manifold.

Touching high-temperature areas such as the engine and exhaust manifold could result in burns.

HINT:

When the cable is disconnected / reconnected to the auxiliary battery terminal, systems temporarily stop operating. However, each system has a function that completes learning the first time the system is used.

Learning completes when vehicle is driven

Effect/Inoperative Function When Necessary Procedures are not Performed	Necessary Procedures	Link
Front camera system	Drive the vehicle straight ahead at 15 km/h (10 mph) or more for 1 second or more.	Refer to INITIALIZATION [11/2022 - ]
Stop and start system	Drive the vehicle until stop and start control is permitted (approximately 5 to 60 minutes)	Refer to PRECAUTION [11/2023 - ]

Learning completes when vehicle is operated normally

Effect/Inoperative Function When Necessary Procedures are not Performed	Necessary Procedures	Link
Power door lock control system Back door opener	Perform door unlock operation with door control switch or electrical key transmitter sub-assembly switch.	Refer to INITIALIZATION [11/2022 - ]
Power back door system	Fully close the back door by hand. HINT: Initialization is not necessary if the above procedures are performed while the back door is closed.	Refer to INITIALIZATION [09/2021 - ]
Air conditioning system	After the ignition switch is turned to ON, the servo motor standard position is recognized.	-
