AS68RC TCM Programming Procedure






AS86RC TCM PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
PROGRAMMING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM)

NOTE: When replacing a Transmission Control Module (TCM), the TCM must be programmed.

NOTE: Failure to properly program the TCM may result in the illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) and setting DTC(s).

NOTE: While performing the TCM programming procedure, the vehicle battery must be maintained between 10 and 16 volts. Ambient temperature must be between 0° C (32° F) 60° C (140° F). Vehicle must be in Park with brake pedal depressed.

NOTE: The total number of TCM reflashes and/or reflash attempts must be limited to a maximum of 50 times. The TCM is considered defective if more than 50 reflashes and/or reflash attempts have occurred.

NOTE: After installing a generic TCM into the vehicle and before the software flash has been performed, it is possible to illuminate the MIL and set a P0602 - TCM Not Programmed if the engine is started before the flash is completed. If DTC P0602 sets during programming, clear DTCs after the flash has completed.

2. Ignition on, engine not running.
3. Vehicle in park with the brake pedal depressed.
4. Following the menu on the scan tool, program the TCM.
