Removal
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with a power take-off unit, all or part of the PTO unit may need to be removed.
1. NOTE: All gasoline vehicles will have new adaptive shift strategies. Whenever the vehicle's battery has been disconnected for any type of service
or repair, the strategy parameters that are stored in the keep alive memory (KAM) will be lost. The strategy will start to relearn once the battery is
reconnected and the vehicle is driven. This is a temporary condition and will return to normal operating condition once the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) relearns all the parameters from the driving conditions. There is no set time frame for this process. If a concern is present during
downshifts or converter clutch apply, it is not the fault of the shift strategy and will require diagnosis.
The customer needs to be notified that they may experience slightly different upshifts (either soft or firm) and that this is a temporary condition
and will eventually return to normal operating condition.
Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
3. Disconnect the connector.
4. Disconnect the shift cable at the manual control lever.
