Engine Control Module: Procedures
TCM Adaptation
TCM ADAPTATION - NAG1 Only
The adaptation procedure requires the use of the appropriate scan tool. This program allows the electronic transmission system to re-calibrate itself. This
will provide the proper baseline transmission operation. The adaptation procedure should be performed if any of the following procedures are performed:
-
Transmission Assembly Replacement
-
Transmission Control Module Replacement
-
Clutch Plate and/or Seal Replacement
-
Electrohydraulic Unit Replacement or Recondition
1. With the scan tool, reset the Transmission adaptives. Resetting the adaptives will set the adaptives to factory settings.
NOTE: Perform the Coast Down Adaptations first. The Transmission Temperature must be greater than 60°C (140°F) and less than 70°C
(158°F). Failure to stay within these temperature ranges will void the procedure.
2. Drive the vehicle until the transmission temperature is in the specified range.
3. Perform 4 to 5 coast downs from 5th to 4th gear and then 4th to 3rd gear.
NOTE: For Upshift adaptation, the Transmission temperature must be greater than 60°C (140°F) and less than 100°C (212°F). Failure to stay
within these temperature ranges will void this procedure.
4. From a stop, moderately accelerate the vehicle and obtain all forward gear ranges while keeping the Engine RPM below 1800 RPM. Repeat this
procedure 4 to 5 times.
5. Obtaining 5th gear may be difficult at 1800 RPM. Allow the transmission to shift into 5th gear at a higher RPM then lower the RPM to 1800 and
perform manual shifts between 4th and 5th gears using the shift lever.
6. The TCM will store the adaptives every 10 minutes. After completion of the adaptation procedure make sure the vehicle stays running for at least
10 minutes.
7. It is possible to manually store the adaptives under the 10 minute time frame using the scan tool Store Adaptives procedure.
PCM/ECM Reprogramming
PCM/ECM REPROGRAMMING - GAS
PCM / 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 (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 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'.
