STANDARD PROCEDURE - QUICK LEARN
PROCEDURE
The quick learn procedure requires the use of the
scan tool. This program allows the electronic trans-
axle system to recalibrate itself. This will provide the
best possible transaxle operation.
NOTE: The quick learn procedure should be per-
formed if any of the following procedures are per-
formed:
•
Transaxle Assembly Replacement
•
Powertrain Control Module Replacement
•
Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly Replacement
•
Clutch Plate and/or Seal Replacement
•
Valve Body Replacement or Recondition
To perform the Quick Learn Procedure, the follow-
ing conditions must be met:
•
The brakes must be applied
•
The engine speed must be above 500 rpm
•
The throttle angle (TPS) must be less than 3
degrees
•
The shift lever position must stay until
prompted to shift to overdrive
•
The shift lever position must stay in overdrive
after the Shift to Overdrive prompt until the scan
tool indicates the procedure is complete
•
The calculated oil temperature must be above
60° and below 200°
(1) Plug the scan tool into the diagnostic connector.
The connector is located under the instrument panel.

The PCM engine control strategy prevents reduced
idle speeds until after the engine operates for 320 km
(200 miles). If the PCM is replaced after 320 km (200
miles) of usage, update the mileage and vehicle iden-
tification number (VIN) in the new PCM. Use the
scan tool to change the millage and VIN in the PCM.
If this step is not done a diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) may be set and SKIM must be done or car will
not start if it is a SKIM equipped car. If a SKIM car
you must do a secret key transfer also. Refer to the
appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Manual and the
scan tool.
To avoid possible voltage spike damage to PCM,
ignition key must be off, and the negative battery
cable must be disconnected before unplugging the
PCM connectors. Note radio programs.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable and iso-
late (Fig. 5).
