DTC P287C:  Transmission Adaptive Values Not Learned

General Description 

The transmission control module (TCM) absorbs each vehicle variability, and to control smoothly on switching forward/reverse, starting, and automatic shifting, the hydraulic pressure characteristic calibration are done at the factory. At the factory, the hydraulic pressure characteristic calibration is done, and records to the TCM that the calibration was successfully done. Calibrations must be done if transmission, hydraulic control unit, or TCM is replaced. When the calibration is not finished when the TCM is activated, the TCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
