CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
When the automatic transmission is replaced, the transmission compensation code must be input into the TCM (Proceed to step 1).
After the automatic transmission is reinstalled, the Quick Response (QR) code label will be positioned where the code cannot be read. Therefore, before reinstalling the automatic transmission, record the transmission compensation codes or input them into the intelligent tester.
When the TCM is replaced, the existing transmission compensation codes must be input into the new TCM (Proceed to step 2).
PROCEDURE
SET TRANSMISSION COMPENSATION CODE INTO TCM (step 1)
Note
Transmission compensation codes are unique, 60-digit alphanumeric values printed on the QR label. If an incorrect transmission compensation code is input into the TCM, shift shock may occur.
| *1 | Transmission Compensation Code |
| *2 | QR Code Label |
Record the transmission compensation code specified on the QR label.
Tech Tips
The transmission compensation code is imprinted on the QR label.
Move the shift lever to the N or P position.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Note
Do not start the engine.
Turn the tester ON.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Utility / A/T Code Registration.
Select "Set Compensation Code".
Register the compensation code.
Manually input the transmission compensation code. The code is a 60-digit alphanumeric value imprinted on the QR label.
Check that the compensation code displayed on the screen is correct by comparing it with the 60-digit alphanumeric value on the QR label.
Note
If an incorrect transmission compensation code is input into the TCM, shift shock may occur.
TRANSFER TRANSMISSION COMPENSATION CODE (step 2)
Note
Transmission compensation codes are 60-digit alphanumeric values imprinted on the QR label. If an incorrect transmission compensation code is input into the TCM, shift shock may occur.
Tech Tips
The following operation is available for use with TCMs that can transmit the registered transmission compensation code to the intelligent tester.
Read the transmission compensation code.
Move the shift lever to the N or P position.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Note
Do not start the engine.
Turn the tester ON.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Utility / A/T Code Registration.
Select "Read Compensation Code".
Press "Save".
Select "Save".
Select "Overwrite" to transfer the compensation code to the tester.
Note
Do not use the code specified on the transmission QR label even if the transmission compensation code cannot be read using the intelligent tester. The code printed on an in-service transmission may not match its current characteristics. Replace the TCM with a new one and perform a road test to allow the TCM to learn.
Turn the engine switch off.
Replace the TCM.
Set the transmission compensation code.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Note
Do not start the engine.
Turn the tester ON.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Utility / A/T Code Registration.
Select "Set Compensation Code".
Press "Open".
Select "Open".
Transfer the compensation code into the TCM.
