Note: If the harsh shift is noted when the vehicle is coming to a stop and shifting into 1st gear, this downshift is most likely a 3-1
shift.
Note: This sequence is MY 2016 specific and varies from MY 2015. The following adaptive learning procedure was developed
to further learn clutch pressures and volumes required for specific shifts. To expedite the learning process, it is recommended to
utilize a road with minimal traffic volume that has as smooth and level surface as possible.
To Learn C1 (For 6-7 or 3-1 Shift)
1. Pressure Learns:
Note: It is recommended to utilize a road with a speed limit between of 30-45 mph (48-72 km/h) for this procedure.
• Shift the transmission into 6th gear with the PRNDM in the M position. Obtain an engine speed between 1000 and 1600
engine rpm. Maintain this condition for a total of about 5 miles (8 km). Cruise control may be used and has been found to
result in faster learning of the clutch values.
2. Volume Learns:
•
Complete 15 light throttle 6-7 upshifts at approximately 15% throttle to further learn C1.
To Learn C2 (For 6-5 Shift)
1. Pressure Learns:
Note: It is recommended to utilize a road with a speed limit 40-45 mph (64-72 km/h) for this procedure.
•
Perform 10 normal mode 6-5 coast down shifts (zero/light brake) to learn the C2 Return Spring pressure.
2. Volume Learns:
•
Shift the transmission into 8th gear with the PRNDM in the M position. Obtain an engine speed between 1000 and 1750
rpm. Maintain this condition for a total of about 5 miles (8 km). Cruise control may be used and has been found to result in
faster learning of the clutch values.
To Learn C3 (For 2-3, 4-5, or N-D Shift)
1. Pressure Learns:
•
Perform 10 normal mode 8-7 coast down shifts (zero/light brake) to learn the C3 Return Spring.
2. Volume Learns:
•
Complete 15 light throttle 2-3 upshifts at approximately 15% throttle to further learn C3.
