Service Procedure

1. Prepare vehicle for the powertrain control module (PCM)/transmission control module (TCM) Transmission Accelerated Main Control Break In routine by positioning on a frame-engaging lift with wheels off the ground to prevent vehicle movement.

2. Using the latest software level of the FordeBay logo Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) scan tool, perform the PCM/TCMTransmission Accelerated Main Control Break In routine 3 times on the E and F clutches.

3. Clear the keep alive memory (KAM).

6. Shift the transmission to drive (D) from reverse (R). Wait 2 seconds.

7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 an additional 6 times for a total of 7 cycles.

NOTE: Advise the customer this vehicle is equipped with an adaptive transmission shift strategy which allows the vehicle’s computer to learn the transmission’s unique parameters and improve shift quality. When the adaptive strategy is reset, the computer will begin a relearning process. This relearning process may result in firmer than normal upshifts and downshifts for several days.

8. Does the vehicle still exhibit the condition after performing the PCM/TCMTransmission Accelerated Main Control Break In routine and adaptive learning drive cycle?

(1). Yes – proceed to Step 9.

(2). No – repair is complete.
