Component Inspection

Inspect neutral position for inhibitor switch
1. Shift inhibitor switch to "P" range in order not to move the vehicle.
2. IG "ON" & Engine "OFF".
3. Release shift lock and shift inhibitor switch to N position.
4. Set SST to inhibitor switch lever shaft and align the reference line of SST with the neutral reference line of the inhibitor switch.
5. Tighten the bolts and shift to "P" position
6. Check alignment of inhibitor switch with scantool after IG ON




7. Does the scantool show the inhibitor switch position correctly?





Check TCM
1. Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF".
2. Check DTC and erase DTC with scantool
3. Turn IG OFF <-> IG ON twice or more then, check DTC again.
4. Is the same DTC set again?






How to perform Initial Learning

If you replace the automatic transmission or TCU, or if you overwrite the TCU software, be sure to initialize the learned values and perform initial learning.

Step 1) Warm-up
Raise the ATF temperature by leaving the vehicle idling or performing city drive. Check the ATF temperature using the Scan-tool and make sure it is between 50 °C (122 °F) and 120 °C (248 °F). If the ATF temperature is outside this range, work to bring the range.

CAUTION:
Don't raise the oil temperature by stalling the engine.

(Reference)
If the oil temperature is not between 50 °C (122 °F) and 120 °C (248 °F), initial learning can not be performed. Before learning, check for variable speed shock or shift shock.

STEP 2) Garage shift learning ("N->R", "N->D")
With the vehicle standing still, depress the brake and keep the shift lever in "N" for 3 seconds. Then, shift from "N" into "D", and maintain this condition for 3 seconds.
Repeat this procedure 5 times. Then repeat it 5 times in the same way for "R".

STEP 3) Garage shift control learning
In "D", with the throttle opening between 25 and 35%, drive until you reach 6th gear and a vehicle speed at 80 Km/h or higher. Then, release the accelerator pedal and coast, and bring the vehicle to a stop in 60 seconds minimum. Repeat this procedure 10 times.

STEP 4) Check learning results
Check that variable speed shock and shift shock have decreased compared to conditions before learning.

How to perform "N" position learning

If you replace the automatic transmission or TCU, be sure to perform 'N" position learning.

Step 1) Shift to P range so that vehicle is in standstill. Turn IG ON but Engine is OFF.

Step 2) After releasing shift lock, shift the shift lever to "N" position.
Step 3) Install the SST on the shaft of inhibitor switch, and then, assemble the SST with aligning neutral line on the SST with neutral line on the inhibitor switch.
Step 4) Tighten the bolt after confirm the Neutral lines are aligned with.
