TITLE:
CPS Plus Action, SW FID 890, TCM DTC 002F, Torque Converter Slip/Shudder

REFERENCE BULLETINS:
TNN 43-35

DESCRIPTION:
Some MY 2003 cars built before the following Chassis breaks may set a 002F code or have a slipping/shuddering torque converter. If the slip/shudder is present, it will be felt in 4th and/or 5th gear with a locked converter.

SERVICE:
If a customer has a complaint that matches the above description, erase the DTC and load SW FID 890 (PN 30646927).

This SW is very similar to the original SW in the TCM, so there is no need to reset the adaptation to zero. Take the car for a test drive in 4th and 5th gear with a locked converter to verify its function.





Also, cars before the chassis breaks shown should have SW FID 890 loaded before they are road tested as part of the Customer Preparation Service (CPS).

NOTE:
The engine code is the 6th and 7th position of the VIN. The factory code is the 11th position of the VIN.





If SW FID 890 has been loaded, one of the software part numbers shown can be read out of the TCM.
