TUNE MENU

 

Shift Points

 = Sets the RPM at which shifts occur for all shifts. You will be 

presented with a menu showing 10% throttle, 40% throttle, and Wide Open 
Throttle. Under each is shown shift point RPM. You can adjust each throttle 
percentage individually. Changes won’t be saved to the tune until you click 
“Save & Exit”. 
 

Firmness

  =  Set shift firmness for all  shifts  or each 

individual shift. Once you’ve chosen a shift to adjust, 
you  will  be  presented  with  a  menu  showing  10% 
throttle, 40% throttle, and Wide Open Throttle. Under 
each is shown a number representing firmness. You 
can adjust each throttle percentage individually. Changes won’t be saved to 
the tune until you click “Save & Exit”. 
 

Tq  Conv  Cl

  =  This  allows  you  to  adjust  the  minimum  RPM  for  TCC 

engagement. Changes won’t be  saved to  the  tune until you click  “Save  & 
Exit”. 

 

DIAGNOSTICS

 

Dyno Mode

 = Enable this mode if you are doing a dyno test. 

While enabled, you  can  use the knob to shift  gears.  Push 
the  knob  to  access  options,  such  as  enabling  torque 
converter  clutch  (TCC)  activation  above  1800  RPM, 
disabling the TCC, and exiting dyno mode. 

*

Please note that it is not safe to use this mode while driving. 

 

Data Display 

=

 

Allows you to see readings on the inputs and outputs, such 

as Solenoid Ohms and current, PRNDL values, and the voltage or status of 
various inputs, such as table select and manutronic. Manutronic, push button 
shifting,  is  not  supported  with  this  module.  These  screens  will  be  helpful 
when  using  the  troubleshooting  guide  or  working  with  our  tech  support 
department. Please note that the solenoid current screen uses the knob to 
manually select the current gear, similar to dyno mode. This allows you to 
easily verify proper solenoid function in each gear. 
 

Clear Learn

  =  Clicking  on this  item will  allow  you  to  chose which  learned 

data to clear. You might want to use this if something has changed with the 
vehicle  or  transmission  to  allow  the  controller  to  re-learn  the  data.  The 
options are "TCC Learn", "Shift Timing", "All Learning", and "Exit". 
 

Sys Info

 = Displays firmware and hardware version information as well as 

serial number (ID), copyright, and patent information.
