1. Connect the DRBIII to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
2. Reconnect any disconnected components.
3. With the DRBII , erase all Transmission DTC's, also erase the PCM DTC P-0700 which
turns on the MIL indicator.
4. With the DRBIII , display transmission temperature. Start and run the engine until the
transmission temperature is HOT (above 110 deg. F).
5. Check the transmission fluid and adjust if necessary. Add oil slowly (1 pint at a time) to avoid
overfilling, especially when cold. Once oil is visible on the dipstick, do not add oil until
transmission oil temp is 180 degrees.
6. Note: If the transmission control module or torque converter has been replaced or
if the transmission has been repaired or replaced it is necessary to perform the
DRBIII quick learn procedure.
7. Road test the vehicle. With the DRBIII , monitor the engine RPM. Make 15 to 20 1-2, 2-3,
3-4 upshifts. Perform these shifts from a standing start to 45 MPH with a constant throttle
opening of 20 to 25 degrees.
8. Below 25 MPH, make 5 to 8 wide open throttle kickdowns to 1st gear. Allow at least 5 seconds
each in 2nd and 3rd gear between each kickdown.
9. For a specific DTC, drive the vehicle to the Symptom's When Monitored/When Set conditions
to verify the DTC repair.
10. Check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) during the road test. If a DTC sets during the
road test , return to the Symptom list and follow the path.
Were any Trouble Codes set during the road test?
Yes → Refer to the Symptom List for appropriate diagnostic tests.
Perform 41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

or recurring symptom.

minutes. Perform several antilock braking stops.
