I just finished up the cvt transmission fluid change on my 2.0L. Was quite the job having to get the airbox off as this was my first time, but I managed to get it done with some help from a friend. But, after completing the job and lowering the car back down and starting it, it was throwing a bunch of random codes:
Vehicle stability assist error
Brake hold system error
Power steering system error
Brake system error
Emissions system error (This was expected because we had unplugged the MAF sensor)
We drove around a bit and the power steering worked fine and the vehicle stability assist too, but the brake hold would not activate. We got some food and 20 minutes later turned the car back on and all the codes were gone. Everything worked fine including the brake hold system. I don't hear any odd noises and the car runs nice and smooth. Should I still be worried about all the codes that were being thrown? I am thinking of going down to my mechanic tomorrow to check it out, but like I said all the codes are gone so I'm not sure if I need to. If any one has experience with this, please let me know.
And just one more question. When we filled the fluid back, we had the check bolt open and poured in about 3 liters at which point it started to spill out of the check hole. So we then put everything back in place, airbox too and ran through the gears waiting in each for 5 seconds from P to L and L to P. Opened the check hole and since it wasn't flowing anymore, we added some more fluid until it started to trickle out again. In total we added about 3.7 liters while the manual calls for 3.5. Is this an issue? Should I drain some out or is that okay? When we initially took out the fluid it was flowing a little harder than when we put it back in, but, I don't think it should take more than this much fluid.
