Adaptation Data

There are two functions for adaptation in the transmission control module (TCM) software which can be activated:

• Resetting adaptation - carried out after replacing internal components or the entire transmission
  • the transmission control system
  • the transmission fluid
  • the entire transmission
  • the transmission control module (TCM).
• Adaptation function - This function helps the mechanic to adapt the transmission. It makes it easier to reset the function of the transmission after repair or replacement of, for example:
  • the transmission control system
  • the transmission fluid
  • the entire transmission
  • the transmission control module (TCM).

When the adaptation function has been activated, the test drive instructions must be followed. The following shifts can be adapted:

• 1-2
• 2-3
• 3-4
• 4-5
• N-D
• 5-4
• 4-3
• 3-2
• 2-1
• N-R
• Neutral Control engagement and disengagement, if equipped.

While the car is in this mode, the orange/yellow warning lamp in the center of the combined instrument panel is used to indicate when each shift has been adapted to its target value.

When the orange/yellow warning lamp (triangle) flashes after each of the listed shifts, the adaptation is complete.

Adaptation of the transmission is activated via the VIDA vehicle communication socket.
