INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this bulletin is to announce that the automatic transmission learning control procedure can now be performed using the SSMIII with the latest version (Oct. 2007). Details can be found on the SSMIII help menu under "Learning and inspection mode related to AT".
The learning control needs to be preformed when the TCM is reprogrammed or replaced, disassembly or replacement of the transmission, replacement of the valve body or when Clear Memory 2 is executed.
In addition, if a vehicle is experiencing a harsh shift, shift shock and/or delayed shift with no diagnostic codes set and nothing is found during basic diagnostics, the learning procedure should be performed. When performing the A/T Learning Procedure as a stand alone procedure, the following claim information has been added to Subaru Warranty Wizard®.
