Adaptation Data

There are two functions for adaptation in the transmission control module (TCM) software which can be activated:

• Resetting adaptation - should be performed after replacing an internal component or the whole transmission.
  • the transmission control system
  • the transmission fluid
  • the entire transmission
  • transmission control module (TCM).
• Adaptation function - This function helps the mechanic to adapt the transmission. This makes it easier to reset the function of the transmission after repair or replacement of, for example:
  • the transmission control system
  • the transmission fluid
  • the entire transmission
  • transmission control module (TCM).

When the adaptation function has been activated, the test drive instructions must be followed. The following shifts can be adapted:

• 1-2
• 2-3
• 3-4
• 4-5
• N-D
• 5-4
• 4-3
• 3-2
• 2-1
• N-R.

While the function is activated, the general warning lamp in the combined instrument panel indicates when each shift has been adapted to its target value.

When the general warning lamp (triangle) flashes after each shift, the adaptation is complete.

Adaptation of the transmission is activated via the VIDA (Volvo scan tool) socket.
