TCM Reprogramming

If the TCM is reprogrammed, TCM Reprogramming must be performed. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) .

Ensure the following conditions exist in order to prepare for TCM programming or reprogramming:

• The battery is fully charged.
• The ignition switch is in the RUN position.
• The Techline equipment cable connection at the data link connector (DLC) is secure.

Program the TCM using the latest software matching the vehicle. Refer to up-to-date Techline equipment user instructions.

If the TCM fails to program, proceed as follows:

• Ensure the TCM connection is good.
• Inspect the Techline equipment for the latest software version.
• Attempt to program the TCM. If the TCM still cannot be programmed properly, replace the TCM.

After successful reprogramming of the TCM, reset the transmission adapts and perform the Transmission Adaptive Learn Procedure. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Learn Procedure in Automatic Transaxle - AF33-5.
