2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, AWDSECTION Reading Clutch Adaptation Data
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Read the information below for details regarding this procedure.
The Clutch Packs will each have 4 scan tool data labels to observe under the TCM section. Using Clutch A as an example, the data labels are:
- Clutch A- Fast Filling Counter:Β This data label displays the number of Clutch Filling Pressure adaptations that have been performed. These adaptations are the first learned values on a new transmission or after clutch adaptation values are reset. You will need to allow 5 to 12 fast filling counts per clutch to properly learn the clutch adaptations. If the shift quality is sufficient after 5 counts, no further adaptation learns for that clutch are necessary.
- Clutch A- Filling Counter:Β This data label displays the number of Clutch Filling Time adaptations that have been performed. You will need to allow 5 to 12 filling counts per clutch to properly learn the clutch adaptations. If the shift quality is sufficient after 5 counts, no further adaptation learns for that clutch are necessary.
- Clutch A- Filling Pressure:Β This data label displays the clutch filling pressure value that is learned during the TCM Adaptation procedure. The TCM adaptation software will increase or decrease the clutch fluid filling pressure to improve shift performance. The clutch Filling Pressure value will change over the life of the transmission based first on initial transmission build variation and then due to normal clutch wear.
- Clutch A- Filling Time:Β This data label displays the clutch filling time value that is learned during the TCM Adaptation procedure. The TCM adaptation software will increase or decrease the Clutch Filling Time to improve shift performance. The clutch Filling Time value will change over the life of the transmission based first on initial transmission build variation and then due to normal clutch wear.
