NOTE: It is recommended that the transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset. Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, the ECM, PCM or TCM will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.

Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions .

CAUTION: Do not overfill the transmission. Overfilling will result in foaming, loss of fluid, and possible damage to the transmission.

Check and fill the transaxle as necessary.
