TRANSAXLE CONTROL MODULE (TCM) REPROGRAMMING
WARNING: This vehicle is equipped with high voltage cables, components, and wiring. The high voltage warning labels containing the high voltage symbol are located on each high voltage component. High voltage cables and wiring are orange in color. Certified rubber insulating gloves and a face shield must be worn when working with the high voltage cables, components, or wiring. The ignition key must be cycled to the OFF position for a minimum of 5 minutes, and the high voltage traction battery service disconnect plug placed in the servicing/shipping position before disconnecting the high voltage cables. Do not disconnect, disable, or touch the high voltage cables, components, or wiring during the module reprogramming procedure because high voltage is present. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or death.
Description
NOTE: After the TCM is successfully reprogrammed clear the continuous DTCs in the PCM and the TCM that may have been stored during reprogramming.
Changes made to the strategy or calibration may require TCM reprogramming. Refer to the Module Programming instructions on the scan tool.
Making Changes To The TCM Calibration
If the TCM does not complete the reflash after 2 consecutive attempts, follow the instructions listed below:
1. If the TCM reprogramming aborts during the procedure:
- Reprogram the TCM again.
- After the TCM reprogramming is successfully completed, clear the continuous DTCs in the PCM and the TCM.
2. If the TCM reprogramming aborts immediately after the start:
- Turn the key OFF.
- Disconnect the PCM body/cowl connector, and leave it disconnected.
- Turn the key ON.
- Start the TCM reprogramming.
- After the TCM reprogramming is successfully completed, turn the key OFF and connect the PCM body/cowl connector.
- Clear any PCM and TCM DTCs that may have been stored during reprogramming.

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.
