Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Transmission Adaptation: Notes
Due to manufacturing tolerances in the transmission, and since the ECVT system is subject to many strict legislative requirements, it is essential to put the control system through a learning procedure, before the transmission can be controlled effectively.
The 'learn' mode can be recognized because the LCD gear display will display an 'X' character in addition to the current drive mode. The 'X' stands for fast adaptation - the control system is being adapted to adjust its control thus optimizing the performance of the transmission within the particular vehicle. If the transmission or EMS 2000 is changed, the fast adaptation procedure must be repeated. There are two procedures that must be completed before the XP on the display is removed.
