  • In this video I share with you a problem That I ran across while checking my wife's battery on her 2015 Honda civic. I was just scanning around in the engine bay and noticed a shiny aluminum staring back at me, so I went in to investigate. I found this rubber plug setting to the side of this gaping hole in the top of the cvt transmission. I figured pressure was the problem, so I looked around for the vent and found i all stopped up. Next step was to clean and inspect everything then re assemble and fire it back up. This was a fun little project and I hope it helps you tackle your problems easily. Ill link the parts that I used in this video incase you want to repair you 2015 civic.

    Thank you! My son’s plug popped out twice in the last week and a half, drained all the tranny fluid. Original Google searches said it was the fill cap filled with debris, but that was clean. I found your video, and that seems to have been the problem. BTW: my son‘s 2015 has 210 K on it. And other than this, we’ve had no issues (knock wood).

    Thank you so much for your help! I have the same year, make and model of your wife’s car and that was the same issue I found when my battery had to be replaced over the weekend. So glad it was an easy fix. Honda was telling me they would clean it for $100.

    Too lazy to buy a new cap, i follow all the steps and before placing the cap back on i just placed a few tight loops using a simple rubber band. (It acts like a tight seal/washer) around the top. Give it a firmed twist/ pressing down the inlet. So far it doesnt pops back.😅 cheers

      Dont be lazy. The part is $4 on EBay. You dont want a rubber band breaking and falling into your tranny. That would be fatal.

    Ran into that on a newer Honda HRV. There is a TSB for that vent getting plugged and blowing out the plug.

      The plug may be worn out. A new plug will be a little thicker and stay in place more securely.

      As long as it didn't get water or debris in it you should be fine, or to be safe drain it in a clean bucket and check it and put it back in!!!

    Eso es un error de diseño enorme, yo tengo una hrv 2019 y bastó una fuerte lluvia para que entrara agua oor ese orificio directo a la transmisión. Y en la agencia fingieron demencia y quisieron culparme diciendo que yo lo habia hecho intencionalmente.

      Maybe its clogged up again, not sure if thats possible that quick. It makes me think its a breather issue some where if the transmission is pressurized. I will say maybe you need a new plug, that what im doing because mine is pretty loose.
