ADAPTATION DATA Volvo S40 II

ADAPTATION DATA

There are two functions for adaptation in the transmission control module (TCM) software which can be activated

  1. Resetting adaptation - should be performed after replacing an internal component or the whole transmission. the transmission control system the transmission fluid the entire transmission transmission control module (TCM).
  2. Adaptation function - This function helps the mechanic to adapt the transmission. This makes it easier to reset the function of the transmission after repair or replacement of, for example: the transmission control system the transmission fluid the entire transmission transmission control module (TCM).

When the adaptation function has been activated, the test drive instructions must be followed. The following shifts can be adapted

  1. 1-2
  2. 2-3
  3. 3-4
  4. 4-5
  5. N-D
  6. 5-4
  7. 4-3
  8. 3-2
  9. 2-1
  10. N-R.

While the function is activated, the general warning lamp in the combined instrument panel indicates when each shift has been adapted to its target value.

When the general warning lamp (triangle) flashes after each shift, the adaptation is complete.

Adaptation of the transmission is activated via the VIDA vehicle communication socket.

Scheme 222

Scheme 222: GAUGE FOR TRANSMISSION OIL DATA

A counter for transmission oil quality is built into the software for the transmission control module (TCM). The counter counts up the amount of time the oil is above a certain temperature. When the counter has reached the maximum value, the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for an oil change is stored in the control module. When replacing transmission fluid, the counter must be reset to prevent a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) being stored incorrectly. This applies when the transmission fluid is changed and when the fluid is changed during a repair.

The reset function is activated via the VIDA vehicle communication socket.
