Honda HRV Damage CVT Chain, CVT Transmission Teardown 2016 CVT Transmission Dismantle,

2016 Honda HR-V RU 1.8L CVT Transmission FWD
Code P0796 Honda Possible Causes
*Low transmission fluid level
Dirty transmission fluid
Faulty pressure control solenoid valve 'C'
Pressure control solenoid valve 'C' harness is open or shorted
Pressure control solenoid valve 'C' circuit poor electrical connection
*How do I Fix the Code P0796 Honda?
Check the "Possible Causes" listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look
for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector's pins.
*Code P0796 Honda
When a transmission solenoid has malfunctioned, in most cases the problem is not the electrical part of the solenoid; the problem is foreign material obstructing the mechanical function of the solenoid or the flow of the fluid through the transmission valve body. If the transmission fluid is dirty, it's recommended to change the transmission fluid and if possible, remove the transmission pan for further diagnosis. Excessive debris or metal particles on the transmission pan could be an indication that there is a mechanical transmission failure, and that the transmission will need to be rebuilt or replaced.

Thanks for taking time to show us the tear down. Great video!

This is crazy, we have a 2014 Honda Accord with the 2.4L and CVT. It’s been amazing for all these years with no problem. I must admit, we do a drain and fill of the transmission fluid every 2-3 engine oil changes.

[@dystopia-usa]

Every 10K miles you drain/refill your CVT fluid? Hope you didn't fall for the 10K oil change marketing misinformation.

[@hahaholycrap]

I also have a 2014 accord 2.4 cvt with 240,000km on the original fluid. Pretty reliable.

[@MrSamPhoenix]

@@hahaholycrap wow! I wouldn’t have thought the CVT could handle all those miles/kilos without any service. But yes, the CVT in that Accord is the best example of a CVT to date.

[@Reb7771]

Thanks for showing. Our 2016 HRV EX-L CVT just crashed. It's my wifes car and only 88k miles when the CVT destructed. Honda says lifetime fluid but that's irresponsible. Honda has an extended Warranty but they would not do anything for us being 3 months out of the extended warranty (for this known defective transmission). This will be our last Honda based on the poor reliability, high cost of replacement, and Honda not helping at all for their poor quality and design. We have had 5 Hondas all early models that were very reliable but the newer ones had less quality and especially this 2016. Thanks for sharing the destroyed junk Honda CVT.

[@MrSamPhoenix]

Yeah, don’t listen to the manufacturers when it comes to “lifetime” statements. We own a 2014 Honda Accord 2.4L with the CVT. It’s been a wonderful car for a decade. And the CVT has been amazing. But I must admit, I do a drain and fill of the CVT every three oil changes. This has kept the transmission happy for all these years. 88k is too extreme of a fluid change interval. It was bound to break around that mileage without ever being serviced.

[@hitbyGROSJEAN]

This is why every time I go shopping for a car (doesn’t matter which brand) always and I mean ALWAYS ask about transmission service history and for proof if possible. Most people do not service the transmission and then they think “oh the quality must not be good anymore”. Honda CVTs have generally been good but changing the fluid every 30,000-50,000 miles is crucial for long lasting performance. Unfortunately with most newer cars, the transmissions are sealed and cannot be opened unless you have a hoist and special tools to check. I’m glad my 2006 Accord has a transmission dipstick. P.S., CVT fluid gets dirtier faster than regular geared automatic transmission fluid.

[@SW0831]

The part that damaged is called Belt, There's also a Chain on different CVT transmission but in this case it's a Belt. Thanks for sharing the vidio anyway.

[@beka.m.3490]

Toyota from 2019 cvt s are different .they istalled first start gear in cvt to avoid belt failure. when car starts the first gear makes car to move ,after that we will see belt in action after 30 kmh .of course every transmission needs to get fluid changed at most 40k and this oil must be original brand fluid that manufacture claims . Not many people with cvt failure want to admit that mostly cvt or regular automatic transmission failures are because of outdated maintenance or car usage in extreme conditions .

Nonsense. Toyota CVT's are built to last. In Chicago there are many Toyota hybrid cabbies. And if there is one car that gets beaten...it's a cab.

[@IsaiasEsc]

the 16 HRV has a warranty extension for this concern up until 7 years or 150k miles in the US.

[@boomerguy9935]

Yes! See my post above. Once mine was found to be good, it was reprogrammed for better shifting and the warranty was extended.

[@Reb7771]

We were 3 months out and Honda denied and wanted 7500 plus for a new CVT. Very non-caring and not willing to help whatsoever. Last Honda (had 5) for us ever. Almost bought a Honda Pioneer side by side and glad I didn't. The more I read on those people having trouble with the CVT transmissions also. Good riddens Honda Junk. Sad used to be some great engineering.

[@mathisnotforthefaintofheart]

Currently, only Toyota is known to make reliable CVT's in their hybrids. You can look it up...plenty of hybrids that have surpassed 200K without much issue. In Chicago there are many Toyota hybrid cabs, and cabs typically aren't "spared". So go for a Toyota/Lexus hybrid and you won't have any issues.

[@keaujibaha2594]

Honda hybrid uses dual clutch not CVT

[@Reb7771]

The Toyota CVTs are not belt driven CVTs either. They are eCVTs which are mechanical gear driven transmissions and not the absolute junk of these new Honda/Subaru and Nissan CVTs. The Toyota Hybrid eCVTs are rock solid and can outlast the life of the car. Fluid changes are easy but critical. They are critical for the Honda CVTs too but Honda says lifetime fluid which contributes to failures. Now Honda has backtracked and says change every 30k (which they should have done all along if honest). Our transmission shop nearby sees lots of failed Honda CVTs and advises there will likely be a class action lawsuit for this garbage.

[@analinhernandez1644]

Can you change the housing and make the 2 wheel drive four wheel drive??? I thing everything is the same inside

Why did the chain broke?

[@angelicolagi]

Do you have a link for transmission chain?

[@TheChargeShow]

I've got a Honda Jazz/Fit from 2005. Very slight judder when I take off. Not an issue really. I've changed the fluid, no change. I've considered using the Xado EX120 additive which has amazing reviews for my car for this issue. But I'm just curious to know what people think causes this issue? Apparently there is some gear teeth that may be worn, or starter clutch issue. Thoughts anybody? :)

[@boomerguy9935]

That Honda Jazz/Fit has a regular automatic transmission instead of a CVT. Apples and oranges. I have a 2009 Fit and a 2016 HRV. Each has a completely different transmission. Even though the Fit shifts more abruptly, I prefer it over the CVT which always seems to be hunting for the correct gear ratio. Honda did a recall on my Fit's CVT to check if there was any damage. The local Honda garage checked it, re-programmed it and extended the warranty to 150K miles. It shifts better than before (not so much hunting for the correct ratio) but it still shifts like a CVT. So far, so good.

[@trey6543210]

Great video,,,, This is a very simple transmission, Forward Reverse clutch pack, Rev Carrier and a Belt. Frictions looked good. Oil Pump in sump stays primed, With the oil cooler off you could overfill it with new oil and push a drain elbow in the "To Cooler" port and flush the Converter easy enough, get a complete flush.They use a Cycloidal pump which is very durable. If they could figure out the belt duty cycle this would be bullet proof. My grandson just got a 2015 Civic EX with one of these and the programming is very good. Butterfly(Paddle) shifter that work great and is very cool. The Bands that hold the belt segments together is breaking because of fatigue(Duty Cycle) or shock loads. That's the main problem it looks like or this transmission would still be going. Again, thanks for the look inside. Retired Ind. Allison Trans. Specialist

The problem is after the year 2013 there are SO MANY cars and SUVs with this transmission that it's getting harder to weed them out unless you can still find ones older than that but that will only go on for so many years until those ones finally begin to die out and disappear. 100% the plan of these manufacturers to force us to keep coming back to them more and more frequently.
