Initial Learning

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
  • When performing a initial learning, be aware of other vehicles, people, and other impediments to order to avoid an accident.
NOTE:
  • While self-learning control gradually reduces shock during normal driving, initial learning is performed to initially learn a certain amount of driving conditions.
  1. Warm-up
    • Increase the ATF temperature by leaving the vehicle idling or performing city driving. Verify that the ATF temperature is between 66-110 C {151-230 F}.  If the ATF temperature is outside this range, work to bring it inside the range.
    CAUTION:
    • Do not raise the ATF temperature by stalling the engine.
    NOTE:
    • If the ATF temperature is not between 66-110 C {151-230 F},  initial learning cannot be performed. Before learning, inspect for variable shift shock.
  2. Garage shift learning
    • With the vehicle standing still, depress the brake pedal and keep the selector lever in N position for 3 s.  Then, shift the selector lever from the N position into D range, and maintain in this condition for 3 s.  Repeat this procedure 5 times.  Then repeat it 5 times  in the same way for R position.
  3. Gear shift control learning
    • In D range, with the throttle opening between 25-30 %,  drive until you reach 6th gear and a vehicle speed of 80 km/h {50 mph}  or higher. Then, release the accelerator pedal and coast, and bring the vehicle to a stop in at least 60 s.  Repeat this procedure 10 times. 
  4. Inspect learning results
    • Verify that variable speed shock and shift shock have decreased compared to the conditions before learning.
