CVT Belt Inspection Procedure

  1. Secure the front right tire with a suitable strap, so it cannot rotate. This will assist in making the belt turn.
  2. Mark the front left tire with a suitable marking. This will assure all 360° of the belt is inspected.
  3. Using borescope J-51951 with mirror attachment, inspect the entirety of the two sides of the belt that come in contact with the pulleys (see page 7 Figure 8). Reference the Figures on pages 9 through 12 for comparison of an OK and NG belt condition.

NOTE:

  • Be sure to remove the protective film from the mirror before the first use.
  • Clean the camera lens and mirror before each inspection. Use 90% isopropyl alcohol, and a lens swab from Lens Swab packet J-51963 listed in the PARTS INFORMATION.
  • Before inspecting, make sure the camera handle's AA batteries are charged and the LCD monitor's battery is charged.
  1. Insert the camera lens between the CVT case and pulley where shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4. Insert the lens approximately seven (7) inches, and then view the side of the belt that contacts the pulley.
  2. Slowly and carefully turn the front left tire one full turn in the forward rotation to view all of the belt. Holding the borescope with one hand allows for turning the tire with the other hand (see Figure 5).

CAUTION: If the tire is rotated in the rearward rotation, the camera lens may get caught between the belt and pulley.

  1. Was damage found?
    • YES: Skip to step 6f.
    • NO: Proceed to step 6d.
  2. Inspect the other side of the belt. Insert the camera lens in the second location where shown in Figure 3 and Figure 6, and then perform step 6b again.
  3. Was damage found?
    • YES: Continue to step 6f.
    • NO: Proceed to step 10 on page 13 and replace valve body.

NOTE: For additional information, see video # 544: "CVT Belt Inspection". This video is located under the TECH TRAINING GARAGE VIDEOS tab in Virtual Academy.

  1. If CVT replacement is required based on the inspection results from 6b and 6d, use borescope J-51951 to record a continuous video, 15 seconds or less, of the most severe evidence of belt slip and the VIN on the F.M.V.S.S. certification label (VIN label). See Figure 7.

NOTE: This required video must be attached to the Powertrain Call Center CVT Preauthorization Form (in ASIST) prior to calling for authorization. Failure to submit a continuous video will cause immediate denial of request for replacement.

  • Before starting to record, make sure the camera handle's AA batteries are charged and the LCD monitor's battery is charged.
  • The video will show a backward or reversed image when mirror end is used; this is okay.
  • The required video must show clear evidence of belt slippage and be 15 seconds or less.

CVT Assembly Replacement Approval Procedures

If CVT belt inspection indicates CVT assembly replacement is required:

  1. Complete the PCC CVT Preauthorization Form in ASIST.
  2. Attach the required video (15 seconds or less) to the CVT Preauthorization Form.
    • Failure to submit a continuous video showing evidence of belt slip and the VIN will cause immediate denial of request for CVT unit replacement.
  3. Call the PCC for authorization at 800-973-9992 (opt 2).

IMPORTANT: Make sure the video has a clear image of the VIN on the F.M.V.S.S. certification label (VIN label).
