This procedure quickly optimizes shift quality. Procedure must be performed if the following conditions have occurred: after disconnecting battery, loss of voltage supply to TCM, TCM replacement, transaxle internal component replacement, solenoid assembly replacement, or torque converter replacement. Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB-III) scan tool with proper cartridge must be used to perform shift quality quick-learn procedure.

The following conditions must be met when performing shift quality quick-learn procedure: fluid temperature must be 60-200°F (16-94°C), brakes must be applied when indicated, engine speed greater than 500 RPM, throttle angle less than 3 degrees, gearshift lever must be in Neutral and moved only when indicated, gearshift lever must remain in overdrive as indicated until DRB-III indicates procedure is completed.

If unused replacement TCM is installed on vehicle with engine at normal operating temperature, shift quality quick-learn procedure will cause TCM to indicate a cold fluid temperature. Fluid temperature must be monitored with DRB-III. If fluid temperature is less than 60°F (16°C), allow engine to idle until fluid temperature is greater than 60°F (16°C). If fluid temperature is greater than 200°F (94°C), allow transaxle to cool until fluid temperature is less than 200°F (94°C).

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

• You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.

• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.

• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.

• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.

• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
