WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Isuzu i-370, 2008 Isuzu i-290, 2008 GMC Canyon, and 2008 Chevrolet Colorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Complete the following procedure after the transmission is installed in the vehicle:
- With the ignition OFF or disconnected, crank the engine several times. Listen for any unusual noises or evidence that any parts are binding.
- Place transmission in neutral, start the engine and listen for any unusual noises or evidence that any parts are binding.
- While the engine continues to idle raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
- Perform a final inspection for the proper fluid level. Refer to Transmission Fluid Check .
- Lower the vehicle.
- Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions .
- Road test the vehicle.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that 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.
