Removal Procedure
NOTE:
Refer to Fastener Notice .
IMPORTANT: The FastLearn, adapt, procedure must be performed. This
can be done in 1 step using a scan tool. If this procedure is
not done, the TCM adaptive values will be at the settings that
it learned for the old components and will be in slow
adaptive mode. Under these conditions, it will take an
unacceptably long time for the adaptive values to converge
to levels suitable for the new transmission.
