Service Procedure
NOTE: This article is for information only. Determine the causal part number and use available labor times in
Section 7 of the SLTS Manual or claim M-time in accordance with the Warranty and Policy Manual. Causal part
number IN in this article refers to the information only status and is not able to be claimed.
PCMITCM Software
1. Using the latest software level of the EFDRS scan tool, check for later PCM/ TCM software version.
2. Is a later software version available?
(1). Yes - reprogram the PCM/ TCM to the latest software. Perform the adaptive learning drive cycle. Refer to WSM,
Section 307-01.
(2). No - proceed to Step 4.
3. Does the vehicle still exhibit the condition after reprogramming the PCM/ TCM and performing the adaptive learning
drive cycle?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 4.
(2). No - repair is complete.
NOTE: Advise the customer that 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.

4. Are any of the following DTCs present: P0751, P0752, P0756, P0757, P0761, P0762, P0766, P0767, P0771, P0772,
P2700, P2701, P2702, P2703, P2704, P2705, P2707, P2708, P0729, P0731, P0732, P0733, P0734, P0735, P0736,
PO76F, PO7D9, PO7F6 and/or PO7F7?

(1). Yes - proceed to Sticking Valves - Main Control Valve Body, Step 2.
(2). No, vehicles built on or before 1-Nov-2021 - proceed to Transmission Solenoid Strategy, Step 1.
(3). No, vehicles built after 1-Nov-2021 - proceed to Sticky Valves - Main Control Valve Body, Step 1.

Transmission Solenoid Strategy

1. Reprogram the transmission strategy download into the PCM/ TCM. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.

NOTE: When prompted, select Transmission Replacement (Full Assembly) only and re-enter the production

transmission serial information on the side of the transmission.

2. Perform the adaptive learning drive cycle. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.

3. Does the vehicle still exhibit the condition after performing the adaptive learning drive?

(1). Yes - proceed to Sticking Valves - Main Control Valve Body, Step 1.
(2). No - repair is complete.

NOTE: Advise the customer that 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.

Sticking Valves - Main Control Valve Body

1. Determine the appropriate clutch(s) to be cycled related to the symptoms present. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.
Proceed to Step 3.

2. Determine the appropriate clutch(s) to be cycled related to DTCs present. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.

3. Record and clear all DTCs present before performing the PCM - Transmission Accelerated Main Control Break In
routine.

A CAUTION: Failure to use a frame engaging lift could damage the vehicle.

4. Prepare vehicle for the PCM - Transmission Accelerated Main Control Break In routine by positioning on a frame-
engaging lift with wheels off the ground to prevent vehicle movement.

5. Using the FDRS, perform the PCM - Transmission Accelerated Main Control Break In routine 3 times on the
appropriate clutch(s) determined to be cycled.

6. Perform the adaptive learning drive cycle. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.

7. Does the vehicle still exhibit the condition after performing the PCM - Transmission Accelerated Main Control Break
In routine and adaptive learning drive cycle?

(1). Yes - proceed to Step 8.
(2). No - repair is complete.

NOTE: Advise the customer that 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.

8. Overhaul (clean and inspect) the main control valve body and road test vehicle following the adaptive learning drive
cycle. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.

9. Does the vehicle still exhibit the condition after overhauling the main control valve body and performing an adaptive
learning drive cycle?

(1). Yes, vehicles built on or before 15-Aug-2022 - proceed to CDF Clutch Cylinder Replacement, Step 1.

(2). Yes, vehicles built on or after 16-Aug-2022 - this TSB is complete. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01 for normal
diagnostics.
(3). No - repair is complete.

NOTE: Advise the customer that 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.

CDF Clutch Cylinder Replacement

NOTE: For Mexico, U.S. and Canadian vehicles less than 3 years old and has less than 36,000 miles the dealer

has the option to continue with this TSB repair or replace the transmission under the low time in service (LTIS)

policy.
