(1). Yes - proceed to Step 4.
(2). No - proceed to Step 2.
2. Reprogram the transmission strategy download into the PCM/TCM. Perform the adaptive learning drive cycle.
Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 307-01.
3. Does the vehicle still exhibit the condition after performing the transmission strategy download and adaptive
learning drive cycle?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 4.
(2). No - repair is complete.
4. Overhaul the main control valve body and road test vehicle following the adaptive learning drive cycle. Refer to

(1). Upon removal of the transmission fluid pan, metal flakes may be present on the magnet. This is a normal
condition. (Figure 1)
Figure 1 - Example of a normal amount of metal flakes on the transmission fluid pan magnet
NOTE: Advise the customer this vehicle is equipped with an adaptive transmission shift strategy which
allows the vehicle's computer to learn the transmission's unique parameters and improve shift quality. When
the adaptive strategy is reset, the computer will begin a relearning process. This relearning process may
result in firmer than normal upshifts and downshifts for several days.
