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

Bro, as far as I know, this procedure was for the old CVT of Honda, circa 2005ish...

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

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.....

Thanks bro... nagkakaproblema kasi yung cvt ng city ko 2014 VX model. When road decending nag Hi Hi rpm which is very unusual then pag crusing highway sometimes rpm will drop and up again. Any recommendation on this? Dinala ko sa casa and they recommend palit ng trnasmission!!! Wala sila makita nung nag scan sila

Ganun na lang palit transmission? Aba hanep din.

We have the same unit, so far wala pa ako na experience na ganun. Wala din reported na ganun issue dun sa car club.

I changed my battery 3x na siguro, hindi ko ramdam yung relearning nung system.

Can you share a bit more info, Firefox sir? Kms clocked, maintenance, fluid change & usage history?
CVTs are non-rebuildable. If it has indeed conked, you're likely looking at a new tranny.
Try some other dealership for 2nd opinion. Let's hope for the best.
