How to Perform Adaptation

If you replace the mechatronic unit (Valve body & TCM) or if you overwrite the TCU software, be sure to initialize the learned values and perform initial learning "Adaptation"

Instructions:

Notice: If the oil temperature is not between 50*C (122*F) and 120*C (248*F), initial learning, adaptation can NOT be performed, it will NOT work!

Step 3 Driving Adaptation

Select "D" range then depress accelerator pedal smoothly and keep the APS values 17%, shift gear to 5th gear R keep the vehicle speed over 60kM/h. In condition that release the accelerator pedal and then depress the brake pedal normally. Stop the car then keep 5seconds

repeat this procedure 10 times. (Not necessary N-D,N-R learning

keep in mind, depends what kind of repair you performed, it can be a few days before the car relearned it self completely !
