Engine Control Module: Procedures
Powertrain Control Module - Programming
QUICK LEARN PROCEDURE
The quick learn procedure requires the use of the scan tool. This program allows the PCM to recalibrate itself. This will provide the best possible
transaxle operation.
NOTE: The quick learn procedure should be performed if any of the following procedures are performed:
-
Transaxle Assembly Replacement
-
Powertrain Control Module Replacement
-
Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly Replacement
-
Clutch Plate and/or Seal Replacement
-
Valve Body Replacement or Recondition
To perform the Quick Learn Procedure, the following conditions must be met:
-
The brakes must be applied
-
The engine speed must be above 500 rpm
-
The throttle angle (TPS) must be less than 3 degrees
-
The shift lever position must stay until prompted to shift to overdrive
-
The shift lever position must stay in overdrive after the Shift to Overdrive prompt until the DRBIII(R) indicates the procedure is complete
-
The calculated oil temperature must be above 60° and below 200°
1. Plug the scan tool into the diagnostic connector. The connector is located under the instrument panel.
2. Go to the Transmission screen.
3. Go to the Miscellaneous screen.
4. Select Quick Learn Procedure. Follow the instructions of the scan tool to perform the Quick Learn Procedure.
PCM/ECM Reprogramming
PCM/ECM REPROGRAMMING
PCM/ECM / TCM FLASH REPROGRAMING
This procedure will need to be done when one or more of the following situations are true:
1. A vehicle's Powertrain Control Module/Engine Control Module (PCM/ECM) has been replaced.
2. A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set P1602 - PCM/ECM Not Programmed.
3. An updated calibration or software release is available for either the PCM/ECM or TCM ECUs.
This procedure assumes that the StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) devices are configured to your dealership's network with either a wired or wireless
connection. The StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) must also be running at the latest operating system and software release level. For more help on
how to network your StarSCAN(R) or StarMOBILE(R) reference the StarSCAN(R) / StarMOBILE(R) Quick Start Networking Guide available on
'DealerCONNECT > Service > StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Online Documentation' under the Download Center.
