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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Inspect learning results
- Verify that variable speed shock and shift shock have decreased compared to the conditions before learning.
