Honda Jazz CVT Problems

[suysuy]

i believe sa electronic lang yang problema mo. ive experience that in my honda city 2006 1.5 VTEC. malakas pagka depress ko sa gas ko then nag skid ang front wheels. umabot ata ng 60kph ang tire spin. then bigla kong nilet go ang gas,. guess what, pag apak ko ulit umaabot ng 4k rpm pero the car is barely moving. nataranta ako kasi akala ko nasira na!!!!!

ginawa ko pinatay ko engine then restart. ayun ok na. 1 year 6 months na tong CVT ko so far ok pa naman hanggang ngayon. kaso pansin ko kapag mainit na mainit ang panahon, feeling ko nag sli slip ang belt. kasi pag apak ko from a stop light umaabot pa ng 2k rpm bago mag move ang car. para bang naka clutch ka.

tsaka paano ba mag reset ng CVT?

[pajerokid]

i've found a site where there's instructions on restting the CVT. basically go through all the gear lever positions for a couple of seconds. forgot where na but im sure you can google it.

I'm not sure if those cretins at honda tried resetting anything electronic. i suggested this via the owner and the service advisor was dead set that the problem is mechanical. sabi sa friend ko 'useless mag reset ng cvt kasi may sira yung transmission'. galing naman nun, na deduce nila without even bringing the tranny down. ewan ko lang, i may be too old school, but any good mechanic should try everything before recommending the replacement of a whole component assembly.

so far, the car is still in honda doing god knows what. by the way, my friend's using a pearl white updated jazz... very nice. c/o her dad, not honda hehe.

by the way, someone offered a surplus tranny for 45k. ok na kaya ito? havent been to the surplus shops in the past couple of years...

a) Starts the car and let it runs until the engine cold indicator is off.
b) Switch off the engine and restart again.
c) Switch on the front lights.
d) Shift the gear to 'n'. while stepping on the brake
e) Shift the gear between 'n', 'd', 's', 'l', 's', 'd' and back to 'n'.
f) Repeated this process about 3 times about 1-2 seconds between the
gears.

try at your own risk ;)

Take it out and bring it to another casa. There's another thread in here (regarding "3-year old ECU needs replacement?") where they suggest a mechanic at another branch.

thanks niky! my friend is just waiting for their petition at honda if they will still honor the warranty even if the car wasnt regularly serviced.

[speedyfix]

sms me... might be able to source you a tranny

Update: honda has agreed to fix the car for 50k! Now they say that they have parts to replace and have spares to replace them with?! Gulo. Im asking my friend to get a list of the parts for replacement and have honda surrender the actual replaced parts. This all sounds fishy to me.

*speedyfix, sige sir will do.

I actually did this when I changed the Jazz's battery some six months ago. It looks like it works....

are those cvt reset ek-ek procedures really necessary when battery is replaced? are those procedures found in user manual? i guess not?

i've always thought that ecu's have this capability of relearning on its own after battery is replaced and user drives the car as usual ... after some distance is covered, relearning is done and everything is back to normal

[pajerokid]

apparently yes, as there's some clutch thing inside the cvt which needs recalibration when fuel economy dips or as mentioned, the battery is replaced

[speedyfix]

goodluck!

Hello Pajerokid,

I am also considering purchase of a 2nd hand Jazz CVT 1.3 IDSi. So is your car now working fine? What was the repair bill? What parts were replaced ?

Tks

300K for a tranny!

...mas mahal pa sa buong K20a w/ tranny!

They are incompetent if they cannot repair/troubleshoot cars they sell....

...50k sounds fair na rin.... casa naman kasi eh. At least may warranty yan...

[carlo_41786]

ganun pala?

Hi. Im not the owner of the car pero i feel kinda responsible coz i was the one who pushed for the Jazz.

Honda quoted 55k for a 'refurbished' cvt inclusive of labor. they get to take the replaced tranny (and i suppose 'refurbish' it again).

Good thing is that theyre gonna give a long warranty for this repair job... 6 months at least.

[pajerokid]

Update. The casa already replaced the tranny but the car wont run! hahaha. They sent the car to the plant na ata. Adios CVT! I mean, yeah it's nice and all but the potential drawbacks scare me.
