A/T Controls - Resetting PCM/TCM Adaptive Values
2008 Hyundai Entourage V6-3.8LSECTION A/T Controls - Resetting PCM/TCM Adaptive Values
Group: AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
Number: 10-AT-Oil
Date: AUGUST 2010
Model: ALL

RESET AND RELEARN ADAPTIVE VALUES
This bulletin supersedes TSB 09-AT-002-1 to include Equus and Sonata HEV
CAUTION:
After replacing a transaxle or reprogramming the PCM/TCM, to improve the shift quality condition, follow this procedure to reset and relearn the adaptive learning.
DESCRIPTION:
The PCM or TCM contains logic to adjust solenoid duty and line pressure as needed to compensate for normal clutch wear over the life of the transaxle. This bulletin provides the procedures necessary to reset (erase) and "relearn" the PCM/TCM adaptive values.
After the following repairs have been completed, the PCM/TCM adaptive values must be reset in order to provide optimum shift quality:
^ Replace automatic transaxle
^ Reprogram or exchange a PCM/TCM from another vehicle
I. RESET PCM/TCM ADAPTIVE VALUES WITH GDS:
1. Attach a GDS and select VIN and A/T menu.
2. From the main screen, select "Option Treatment"
3. Select "Resetting Auto TIA values" and follow the screen prompts.
Turn the ignition key off for 10 seconds.
NOTE:
GDS must be used to reset the adaptive learning for the following vehicles.
II. RELEARN ADAPTIVE VALUES:
NOTE:
After the adaptive values have been reset (erased), an "adaptive learning" procedure must be completed as shown.
4. Attach a GDS and select VIN and A/T
5. Select Current Data and "Throttle Position".
6. Drive the vehicle until the ATF temperature is within the range shown.
7. Request an assistant to monitor the GDS. Accelerate from a stop at the specified IPS specification while the transmission shifts through gears 1-2-3-4-5-6 and decelerate slowly to a stop. Stop for 5 seconds. Repeat 5 times.
NOTE:
Hold the accelerator pedal steady during the upshifts.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed legal speed limits.
If additional adaptation is needed, perform the following additional procedures:
8. Perform several sequential downshifts (5-4, 4-3, 3-2 and 2-1) at small to moderate throttle openings.
9. Perform several skip shifts (6-4, 5-3, 5-2, 3-1, etc.) at moderate to large throttle openings.
10. With the vehicle stopped, move the shift lever from P to N to D and back, stopping 3~5 seconds in each gear. Repeat 5 times.
NOTE:
Adaptive learning occurs only within the ATF temperature ranges shown:

- • 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.
