Checking the diagnostic number




Checking the software

Checking the software

Note! To carry out fault-tracing, the transmission control module (TCM) must be programmed with specific software.




- Ignition on
- Read off the control module diagnostic number.
Check the read off diagnostic number against the diagnostic numbers given in the center table.
If the diagnostic number is included in the table, the control module must be programmed with the latest software.
See the technical journal for information about the most recent software.

Checking the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)




- Ignition on
- Read off diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
If any other diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) than TCM-0053 are stored, these must be fault-traced and remedied after this fault-tracing is completed.

Erasing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)




- Ignition off
- Wait for two minutes to allow time for the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) to be stored in the control module memory
- Ignition on
- Erase diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).





Continue - Test driving

------------------------

Test driving

Note! Test drive the car according to the driving schedule below to check whether the fault is still active. The test drive is compiled in order to create the conditions in which the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be stored again if the fault is active. The TEST MODE function can be used to provoke any diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). The function reduces the conditions for how quickly diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored in the control module and the test drive becomes easier.




- Start the engine
- Activate TEST MODE.

Note! Do not switch off the engine!

- Disconnect the VIDA station. Test drive the car as described below.

Warning! Please observe traffic regulations.

Note! Before test driving, the transmission should be at operating temperature, approximately 80-90°C.

Shift the gear selector to position D (third gear with Geartronic). Carefully accelerate to 50-65 km/h. Maintain the same speed for at least 20 seconds.

Hint: The car must be driven at an engine speed where the lock-up function is not normally activated.

Criteria for diagnostic trouble code (DTC):
- The transmission fluid temperature must exceed 30°C
- The engine must be running for at least 20 seconds
- Gear selector in position D, 3 or 2 (4T65EV).
Gear selector in Geartronic position and gears 4, 3 or 2 (4T65EV-GT)
- Speed 50-65 km/h for at least 5 seconds
- At least 5 seconds since the last gear shift
- Positive engine torque (no engine braking).

If the transmission control module (TCM) has been programmed with new software, the fault is probably remedied.
If new software has not been loaded, fault tracing indicates that the transmission control module (TCM) detected a fault earlier, but it is no longer active.

Has the control module been programmed with new software?

Yes - FAULT FOUND

No - No Fault Found

Resetting adaptation





Resetting the adaptation

Resetting adaptation and the counter for "Transmission oil change"

Hint: The transmission has torque controlled adaptive pressure control. Pressure control means that the transmission regulates the pressure itself during each gear shift. This avoids harsh gear shifting. Each gear shift is evaluated by the control module and stored in the memory. This allows for compensation for wear and tear in the transmission and clutch. It is important that the adaptation in the memory is reset after the transmission has been repaired. This is to ensure normal operation. The oil is replaced during repair; the "Transmission oil change" counter must be reset. If the counter is not reset when the fluid is drained and replaced, there is a risk that a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be stored in incorrect circumstances.

Note! This applies only if the transmission or one of the components in the transmission have been replaced.




- Ignition on.
