Resetting of the transmission's adaption
|
Resetting of the transmission's adaption is a procedure for automatic transmissions where the configured values for shifting pressure are reset to zero or a calibrated default value in the transmission control module (TCM).
Once the transmission adaption has been set to zero or a calibrated default value, the vehicle must be road tested under certain driving cycles for the TCM to relearn the optimum shifting pressure in all shifting positions.
Resetting of the transmission's adaption must be performed after one of the following measures has been taken. Failure to perform this procedure can lead to poor shifting quality, setting of diagnostic trouble codes or dissatisfied customers.
