W5J400 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1
1. NOTE: If the TCM was replaced, use the DRBIII to program the VIN information
into the TCM
2. Reconnect any disconnected components.
3. Connect the DRBIII to the Data Link Connector.
4. With the DRBIII , erase ABS DTC's.
5. With the DRBIII , erase PCM/ECM DTC's.
6. With the DRBIII , erase Transmission DTC's.
7. With the DRBIII , display Transmission Temperature. Start and run the engine until the
Transmission Temperature is HOT, above 43° C (110° F).
8. Check the Transmission fluid and adjust if necessary. Refer to the Service Information for the
proper Fluid Fill procedure.
9. Perform the ADAPTION PROCEDURE whenever the TCM and/or the Transmission has
been replaced or major Transmission repairs have been performed. If none of these apply,
proceed to ROAD TEST PROCEDURE.
10. ADAPTION PROCEDURE
11. With the DRBIII , reset the Transmission adaptives. Resetting the adaptives will set the
adaptives to factory settings.
12. Drive the Vehicle until the Transmission Temperature is in the specified range.
13. 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.
14. Perform 4 to 5 Coast Downs from 5th to 4th gear and then 4th to 3rd gear.
15. NOTE: For Upshift adaption, 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. The TCM will store the adaptives every 10 minutes. After completion of the Adaption
Procedure make sure the vehicle stays running for at least 10 minutes. To manually store the
adaptives under 10 minutes, use the DRBIII Store Adaptives procedure.
19. If the Shift Quality is not acceptable after performing the Adaption Procedure, repeat the
Adaption Procedure.
20. NOTE: If internal repairs were performed and the shift quality is still poor after
repeating the Adaption Procedure, it may be necessary to check the internal repair.
Also check for any TSBs and/or Controller Flash updates that may apply.
21. ROAD TEST PROCEDURE
22. Road test the vehicle. Make fifteen to twenty 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5 upshifts.
23. Perform these shifts from a standing start to 72 Km/h or 45 MPH with a constant throttle
opening of 20 to 25 degrees.
24. With speeds below 40 Km/h or 25 MPH, make five to eight wide open throttle kickdowns to
1st gear. Allow at least 5 seconds each in 2nd and 3rd gear between each kickdown.
25. With the DRBIII , perform the Transmission Solenoid Test.
26. With the DRBIII , read Transmission DTCs.
