The ECM performs transaxle control.
A label, on which the automatic transaxle compensation values and Quick Response (QR) code are printed, is attached on the top of the automatic transaxle. The label contains encoded information about the characteristics of the automatic transaxle. When the automatic transaxle is replaced, allow the ECM to learn the characteristics of the automatic transaxle by inputting the automatic transaxle compensation values into the ECM using the Global TechStream (GTS). In this way, the shift control performance immediately after replacement of the automatic transaxle is improved. For details, refer to the Repair Manual.
The QR code, which requires a special tool to read, is used at the vehicle assembly plant.

Tech Tips
What are Quick Response (QR) Codes?
QR code, a matrix symbology consisting of an array of nominally square cells, allows omni-directional, high-speed reading of large amounts of data.
QR codes encode many types of data such as numeric, alphanumeric, kanji, kana and binary codes. A maximum of 7,089 characters (numeric) can be encoded.
QR codes (2D code) contain information in the vertical and horizontal directions, whereas bar codes only contain data in one direction. QR codes (2D code) hold considerably greater volumes of information than bar codes.
