The Basic Setting function is not applicable to this transmission controller.

Adaptation

Adaptation channel 001 is only available in vehicles manufactured after a production split in 2006. Some 2004-2006 model year vehicles may support the Adaptation function after a dealer level flash update has been performed per the applicable TSBs/TPIs which can be located in the Official Factory Repair Information.

Prerequisites:

• Ignition on, engine off.

Important! Adaptation should be performed only under the following circumstances:

Note:
The following will delete the Clutch Adaptation values found in Measuring Value Block groups [073] ~ [077].
It is recommended to make note of the current values, then recheck the above Measuring Value Blocks after the Adaption below
