Curve Recognition

This feature will inhibit upshifts when the vehicle is in a curve. This is to improve stability when the vehicle is cornering at high speeds. The TCM will initiate this feature when it detects a difference between left and right (front) wheel speed signals. The difference in these signals will indicate that the vehicle is in a curve. Be aware that improper tire sizes, brands and inflation pressures can influence this feature. Always address these issues first when diagnosing delayed upshift complaints.
