RESETTING CUSTOMER PARAMETERS
Before software downloading, VIDA reads in all customer parameters from the vehicle and saves these locally on the VIDA station.
When downloading is complete VIDA restores the customer parameters in the vehicle.
Under the SOFTWARE tab in VIDA there is a RESET CUSTOMER PARAMETERS button, which is used to, see which parameters have been reset in the vehicle. Only parameters whose values have been changed from the factory settings are shown.
COUNTER FOR TRANSMISSION FLUID 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.
RESETTING THE ADAPTATION VALUES
There are three functions in the software for the Transmission Control Module for adaptation which can be activated
- Resetting adaptation. Must be performed after replacing an internal component or the whole transmission.
- Resetting the gauge for oil degradation.
- Adaptation of gear selector lever in neutral position.
