Applications Shift Speeds-Approximate* Km/h (MPH) (E-150, E-250, E-350 with 5.4L) (Under 8500 GVW Rating)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford RV Cutaway, 2002 Ford Econoline, 2002 Ford E550 Super Duty, 2002 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2002 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
All gasoline applications have new adaptive shift strategies. Whenever the vehicles battery has been disconnected for any type of service or repairs the strategy parameters that are stored in the keep alive memory (KAM) will be lost. The strategy will start to relearn once the battery is reconnected and the vehicle is driven. This is a temporary condition and will return to normal operating condition once the powertrain control module (PCM) relearns all the parameters from the driving conditions. There is no time frame set for this process. If this concern is present during down shifts or converter clutch apply, it is not the shift strategy and will require diagnosis as outlined in the appropriate article.
The customer needs to be notified that they may experience slightly different upshifts either soft or firm and that this condition is temporary and will eventually return to normal operating condition.
