Complete Repair
After reassembling the transmission, several steps are required to properly restore the vehicle before returning it to the customer.
- Initial transmission fluid fill - this may be completed before the transmission is installed in the vehicle
- Clear adaptive tables - required for overhaul and when the solenoid body has been replaced
- Reset misfire monitor - required whenever the transmission has been removed
- Road Test until the transmission fluid is up to operating temperature, this is required to make sure transmission fluid cooler is full of transmission fluid
- Perform adaptive drive cycle - required if the adaptive tables were cleared
- Set transmission fluid level - transmission fluid is now at the correct temperature and that the transmission fluid cooler has been purged of air.
- Verify the repair resolved the concern - this is also known as the "post repair roadtest"
