shifting into a higher gear. RPM’s typically drop and the engine has to work harder to
accelerate the vehicle. If this setting is too low, TCC will unlock too easily. This can
be an annoyance as it locks and unlocks too often in the course of normal cruising. If
this setting is too high, the vehicle may feel unresponsive during medium to high speed
cruising. As more throttle is applied, the engine may feel like it is struggling until the
TCC finally unlocks and allows the engine to more easily accelerate the vehicle. The
proper setting is subjective. And also dependant on the characteristics of the vehicle
and its powertrain – vehicle weight, engine torque, etc. Some experimentation will
likely be required to find the preferred value for this setting.
•
PERF AGGRESS . This setting determines how much more aggressive the shift
strategy becomes when in Performance Mode. A higher number means that the
transmission will hold gears longer and be quicker to downshift. This adjustment is
applied on top of whatever adjustment is already in place through the SHIFT
AGGRESS setting.
•
PERF FIRMNESS . This setting determines how much shifts are firmed up when in
Performance Mode. A higher number means firmer shifts. This adjustment is applied
on top of whatever adjustment is already in place through the SHIFT FIRMNESS
setting.

DONE . This will take you back to the main menu.
Error Codes
The EZ-TCU™ system features a diagnostics feature. The TCU constantly monitors various inputs for
any deviations from normal operation. If any is detected, the LED on the front face of the TCU flashes
rapidly as a warning that there is a problem (the LED is lit solid when the TCU is powered on and
working normally or it will flash a slower on/off pattern if the TCU started up in Flash Mode). Also,
the SE Status Indicator displayed on the Live Data screen acts like a Check Engine Light. It will signal
if an error code has been set. The handheld can be used to read any error codes that have been set.
Once an error code is set, it is saved in the TCU until the TCU is reset by keying-off and allowing the
TCU to complete is shutdown procedure (takes approximately 5-10 seconds). Or error codes can be
cleared with the handheld at any time.
The picture on the left is showing error codes. After clearing them, the picture on the right shows what
the EZTCU Codes screen normally looks like.
