DESCRIPTION
Some customers may complain of a busy shift from 6th to 5th gear at highway speed. This is due to the characteristics of the Transmission Control
Module (TCM) calibration. The TCM setting emphasizes acceleration, a slight depression of the accelerator pedal creates a shift from 6th gear down to
5th gear.
The TCM logic has been modified, specifically, the hill climb judgement parameters have been changed to reduce sensitivity.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1.
Reboot the IDS to clear memory before reprogramming.
2.
Using IDS B50.2 or later software, reprogram the TCM to the latest calibration (refer to "Calibration Information" table) by following the
"Module Reprogramming" procedure.
3.
After performing the TCM reprogramming procedure, verify the repair by starting the engine and making sure there are no MIL illumination or
abnormal warning lights present.
4.
Fill out an "Authorized Modifications" label (P/N 9999-95-AMDC-97) with the new TCM calibration information, your dealer code, and todays
date.
5.
Place the "Authorized Modifications" label on the "A" pillar below the tear tag in the driver door jamb. The "Authorized Modification" label will
inform technicians of the TCM calibration change if future repairs are necessary.
