ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit higher than expected engine rpm increase during a 2-3 upshift. This may be caused by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) calibration.





ACTION
Reprogram the PCM. The revised calibration should reduce the possibility of 2-3 upshift flare up. Refer to the PCM Reprogramming Information Chart to identify the appropriate calibration.





Obtain an Authorized Modifications Decal (FPS 8262 - obtainable through DOES II, 25/pkg) and list the date, dealer number, and summary of modifications performed. Select a prominent place adjacent to the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal suitable for installing the Authorized Modifications Decal. Clean the area, install the decal, and cover it with a clear plastic decal shield.
