CAUTION!!
A unique transmission fluid has been developed for this transmission. This fluid is NOT compatible
with ATF+4 or any other current FCA US LLC transmission fluid. For specifics about this unique
fluid see FLUIDS, LUBRICANTS AND GENUINE PARTS.
CAUTION!!
The Transmission Control Module (TCM), or Transmission Control Module Assembly (TCMA) is
extremely sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Always use a ground strap and follow the
ESD guidelines in ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE DEVICES. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in damage to the TCM/TCMA.
NOTE: If the transmission is being reconditioned (clutch/seal replacement) or replaced, it is
necessary to perform the TCM Adaptation Procedure (Refer to 08 - Electrical/8E - Electronic
Control Modules/Module, Transmission Control/ Module Programming).
