AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM REGISTRATION

Note


  • When the automatic transaxle is replaced, the transaxle compensation code must be input into the TCM (proceed to Procedure 1). After the automatic transaxle is reinstalled, the Quick Response (QR) code label will be positioned where the code cannot be read. Therefore, before reinstalling the automatic transaxle, record the transaxle compensation codes or input them in the intelligent tester.

  • When the TCM is replaced, the existing transaxle compensation codes must be input into the new TCM (proceed to Procedure 2).


  1. INPUT TRANSAXLE COMPENSATION CODE INTO TCM (Procedure 1)

    Note

    Transaxle compensation codes are unique, 60-digit alphanumeric values printed on a QR label on the transaxle. If an incorrect transaxle compensation code is input into the TCM, shift shock may occur.


    1. A019KN5E02

      Record the transaxle compensation code specified on the QR label.

      Tech Tips

      The transaxle compensation code is imprinted on the QR label.

    2. Move the shift lever to N or P.

    3. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    5. Turn the intelligent tester on.

      Note

      Do not start the engine.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Utility / A/T Code Registration.

    7. Select "Set Compensation Code".

    8. Register the compensation code.


      1. Press "Input".

      2. Manually input the transaxle compensation code. The code is a 60-digit alphanumeric value printed on the QR label. After inputting the code, press "OK".

    9. 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 transaxle compensation code is input into the TCM, shift shock may occur.

    10. Press "NEXT" to set the compensation code to the TCM.

      Tech Tips


      • If the registration process fails, the compensation code may be incorrect. Check the compensation code again.

      • If the attempted compensation code is correct, a problem with the wire harness or a bad connection with the DLC3 may cause a registration failure. Check the wire harness and the DLC3 connection. If no problem is found, the TCM may be malfunctioning. Check the TCM and repeat this operation.

    11. Press "EXIT".

  2. TRANSFER TRANSAXLE COMPENSATION CODE (Procedure 2)

    Note

    Transaxle compensation codes are 60-digit alphanumeric values imprinted on a QR label on the transaxle. If an incorrect transaxle 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 transaxle compensation code to the intelligent tester.


    1. Move the shift lever to N or P.

    2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    4. Turn the intelligent tester on.

      Note

      Do not start the engine.

      Tech Tips

      The transaxle compensation code is imprinted on the QR label.

    5. Read the transaxle compensation code.


      1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Utility / A/T Code Registration.

      2. Select "Read Compensation Code".

      3. Press "Save".

      4. Press "Save" or "Overwrite".

        Tech Tips

        Press "Overwrite".

        Note

        Do not use the code specified on the transaxle QR label even if the transaxle compensation code cannot be read using the intelligent tester. The code printed on an in-service transaxle may not match its current characteristics. Replace the TCM with a new one and perform a road test to allow the TCM to learn.

      5. Press "EXIT".

      6. Turn the engine switch off.

    6. Replace the TCM.

    7. Set the transaxle compensation code.


      1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

      2. Turn the intelligent tester on.

      3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Utility / A/T Code Registration.

      4. Select "Set Compensation Code".

      5. Press "Open".

      6. Press "Open" again to proceed.

      7. Press "Exit".
