MULTI-MODE MANUAL TRANSAXLE SYSTEM CALIBRATION
SYNCHRONIZATION POSITION CALIBRATION
For smoother shifting, the TCM learns the synchronization position of the transaxle gears. Perform the synchronization position calibration of the multi-mode manual transaxle while driving the vehicle after repairing system components.
Tip:When replacing the multi-mode manual transaxle system parts, proceed with the operation in the order listed.
While driving the vehicle in M-mode, shift up and down between 1st and 5th at the vehicle speeds specified below.
Check that the gears shift smoothly.
Table 1. Recommended Gear Shifting Speeds Gear Change
Gear Position
Vehicle Speed
Up shift
1st→2nd
22 to 41 km/h (13.7 to 25.5 mph)
2nd→3rd
40 to 76 km/h (24.9 to 47.2 mph)
3rd→4th
65 to 126 km/h (40.4 to 78.3 mph)
4th→5th
78 to 150 km/h (48.5 to 93.2 mph)
Down shift
2nd→1st
22 to 41 km/h (13.7 to 25.5 mph)
Tip:Leave an interval of more than 2 seconds between gear changes.
If there is a shock when changing gears after synchronization position calibration, perform synchronization position calibration again.
