If this Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is being replaced with a new unit, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to determine if alignment of the PROXI configuration data into the new ECU is needed. If PROXI alignment is needed, follow the routine outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROXI Configuration Alignment under the Body Control Module (BCM) Miscellaneous Functions menu.
The Valve Body Solenoid Learn procedure must be performed when the TCM and/or valve body is replaced. Failure to perform the Valve Body Solenoid Learn procedure will result in reduced shift quality.
