Adaptation Data
There are two functions for adaptation in the transmission control module (TCM) software which can be activated
- Resetting adaptation - carried out after replacing internal components or the entire transmission the transmission control system the transmission fluid the entire transmission the transmission control module (TCM).
- Adaptation function - This function helps the mechanic to adapt the transmission. It 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 the transmission control module (TCM).
When the adaptation function has been activated, the test drive instructions must be followed. The following shifts can be adapted
- 1-2
- 2-3
- 3-4
- 4-5
- N-D
- 5-4
- 4-3
- 3-2
- 2-1
- N-R
- Neutral Control engagement and disengagement, if equipped.
While the car is in this mode, the orange/yellow warning lamp in the center of the combined instrument panel is used to indicate when each shift has been adapted to its target value.
When the orange/yellow warning lamp (triangle) flashes after each of the listed shifts, the adaptation is complete.
Note. The function is only available in certain software versions.
Adaptation of the transmission is activated via the appropriate diagnostics tool vehicle communication socket.

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 appropriate diagnostics tool vehicle communication socket.
