Engine Control Module: Procedures
Pinion Factor Setting
PINION FACTOR SETTING
NOTE: This procedure must be performed if the PCM has been replaced with a NEW or replacement unit. Failure to perform this procedure
will result in an inoperative or improperly calibrated speedometer.
The vehicle speed readings for the speedometer are taken from the output speed sensor. The PCM must be calibrated to the different combinations of
equipment (final drive and tires) available. Pinion Factor allows the technician to set the Powertrain Control Module initial setting so that the
speedometer readings will be correct. To properly read and/or reset the Pinion Factor, it is necessary to use a scan tool.
1. Plug the scan tool into the diagnostic connector located under the instrument panel.
2. Select the Transmission menu.
3. Select the Miscellaneous menu.
4. Select Pinion Factor. Then follow the instructions on the scan tool screen.
Quick Learn Procedure
QUICK LEARN PROCEDURE
The quick learn procedure requires the use of the scan tool. This program allows the electronic transaxle system 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 scan tool indicates the procedure is complete
-
The calculated oil temperature must be above 15.5° C (60° F) and below 93° C (200° F)
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/TCM Programming
PCM / TCM PROGRAMMING
PCM / TCM FLASH PROGRAMING
This procedure will need to be done when one or more of the following situations are true:
1. A vehicle's Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has been replaced.
2. A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set P1602 - PCM Not Programmed.
3. An updated calibration or software release is available for either the PCM or TCM ECUs.
This procedure assumes that the wiTECH(TM) Vehicle Connection Interface (VCI) pod, StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) devices are configured to
your dealership's network with either a wired or wireless connection. The wiTECH(TM) VCI pod, 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
