  1. This procedure quickly optimizes shift quality. Procedure must be performed after disconnecting battery or loss of voltage supply to Transaxle Control Module (TCM), replacing TCM, transaxle internal components, solenoid assembly or torque converter.
  2. Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB) 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: oil temperature must be greater than 60°F (16°C), brakes must be applied when indicated, engine speed greater than 500 RPM, throttle angle less than 3 degrees, gearshift must be moved only when indicated, gearshift must remain in overdrive as indicated until DRB indicates procedure is completed.
  3. 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 oil temperature. Oil temperature must be monitored with DRB.
  4. If oil temperature is less than 60°F (16°C), allow engine to idle until oil temperature is greater than 60°F (16°C). If oil temperature is greater than 200°F (94°C), allow transaxle to cool until oil temperature is less than 200°F (94°C).
  5. Connect DRB to data link connector, located near brake pedal at bottom of instrument panel. Using proper cartridge and DRB manufacture's instructions, move through program to enter 41TE/AE menu. Start vehicle. Select ADJUSTMENTS function.
  6. Apply brakes. Select QUICK-LEARN function. Place gearshift in Neutral and then "OD" (overdrive) when indicated. Wait until TEST COMPLETE is indicated on DRB. Place gearshift in Park. Release brakes. Remove DRB.
