NOTE: Transmission fluid temperature must be above 110°F (43°C).

Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the LR volume.

With the vehicle speed around 25-30 MPH in manual 2nd, perform manual pulldowns to Low or 1st gear at closed throttle.
Repeat step 1 until the LR CVI become stable and the manual 2-1 becomes smooth.
