b. Install two pieces of the adhesive-back shim stock to the front-side (vertical side as viewed in vehicle) of the electronic brake control module and PCM bracket assembly, starting 1/2 inch in from the outer edge. The second piece should be spaced 1/2 inch in from the first piece before installing. (Refer to illustration.)

c. Install three pieces of the adhesive-back shim stock to the top-side (horizontal side as viewed in the vehicle) of the electronic brake control module and PCM bracket assembly, starting one inch in from the outer edge. The second and third pieces should be spaced one inch away from the other pieces before installing. (Refer to illustration.)

NOTICE: To prevent PCM pin damage, make sure connectors are aligned with PCM connector housings before installing the connectors.

3. Perform 10 sets of upshifts (1-2, 2-3, 3-4) at thirty percent throtle.

4. While coasting at 56k/h (35 mph), slowly accelerate to half throttle to achieve a 4-3 downshift.

5. With gear shift selector in D3 and while coasting at 32 km/h (20 mph), slowly accelerate to seventy-five percent throttle to achieve a 3-2 downshift.
