NOTE: Only download the solenoid strategy at this time. The Adaptive Learning Drive Cycle will be completed later in this procedure.

If a new solenoid body is installed, the solenoid body strategy must be updated. REFER to: Transmission Strategy Download .

Auto-Start-Stop
NOTE: TFT must be greater than 38 °C (100 °F) for the PCM to command the pump on.

Using the scan tool verify the TFT is above 38 °C (100 °F).
- If TFT is below 38 °C (100 °F), run engine at 3000 RPM until specified temperature is achieved (approximately 2-4 minutes).
Prime the Transmission Fluid Auxiliary Pump.
1. Key ON, Engine OFF.
2. Using the scan tool, command TRANS_PMP_CMD to 80% for 30 seconds. If the pump cannot be commanded on, verify TFT is above 38 °C (100 °F).
3. Clear DTCs.
Carry out a road test until there is a stop / start event. If the restart is harsh, repeat the Transmission Fluid Pump prime procedure.
Continue road test and evaluate each stop / start event. Repeat prime procedure until three consecutive normal stop / start events are achieved.
All vehicles
Using a scan tool, drive the vehicle until the transmission is at normal operating temperature 85-93 °C (185-200 °F).
After completing the repairs perform the Misfire Monitor Neutral Profile Correction procedure.
If a new solenoid body is installed, complete the Adaptive Learning Drive Cycle. REFER to: Adaptive Learning Drive Cycle .
Check the transmission fluid level. REFER to: Transmission Fluid Level Check .
