Garage Gurus | How to Do a Quick Learn on a Transmission

[@user-jd4kp3lp9r]

Working on 2015 caravan did fluid and filter.but now i have shutter in 2nd gear.i tired to reset few rimes already with snap on edge.

[@loose450]

Should the transmission fluid be at operating temp before performing this? Seems like not as it wasn't mentioned in the procedure but thought is was worth asking about.

[@thezombino6119]

Whether it's operating temp or not - the transmission has adaptive values based on temperature and some other data prospects. The engine will keep the transmission engaged at higher engine RPM's the cold the engine is. This is for emissions so that the engine reaches operating temperature quickly. Once that has been done, smooth easy shifting will follow and your transmission may adapt to how you are driving, braking, etc. Tldr; you can perform this at any temp.

[@ersendal2466]

as it says it all ,, i guess its not a merely test but relearn the clutches and pressure applied.

NEED HELP!! I have a 2018 Ram 2500HD with the 66rfe....using the Zeus+ I start todo the Quick Learn and it gives me a message thatsays "error code0x12. Unable to determine engine speed.Any deas???? I have tried everything. All the rest of the data shows its reading engine speed fine.

[@stevanzaharic]

Best calibration is drive car normal till engine get warm.Stop on left corner on road and let car idle in DRIVE for 1 or 2 minutes.Swich engine off in DRIVE ignition ON position and press acelerator pedal down,hold for few minutes and put transmition in Park,relise pedal and ignition off. This is proper way of calibration of transmition and vehicle will get better preformance,because pedal,TPS and transmition is calibrated.I have ForScan software for ford which has many self testing procedure,but not for transmition self test.

Does this work on a Volvo xc70 2008?

[@thezombino6119]

​@@MichaelXC70 no

It works in a Caravan?

I bought the otofix d1 lite but im gonna run this by the mechanics at work before I mess with it. Don't want to make something worse when I'm just trying to make things better.

[@KevyB.]

I have one too. Did it work for you?

[@EjiroUdugba]

My town and country started showing excess pressure fault after slight overheat....fan has been replaced, but transmission appears to be stuck in one gear

[@aaronsamuelprice442]

I have a 2019 chevrolet equinox ls, we changed the shift solenoid and it drove perfectly but now we are trying to do the transmission fast learn adapt but Drive is not showing. Any help please?

[@larryhutchens7593]

Got any way to do this without having to buy an expensive piece of E-junk to set another piece of expensive E-junk. Sure, everybody has an expensive Snap on tool. Any other way of doing this on an older car with the 41TE trans?

[@hjer731]

Get an Xtool A30M. Cheapest scanner that will do it

[@larryhutchens7593]

@@hjer731 So that will connect to the access plug on an OBD-1 Chrysler A-604 trans? I tried one from O'Reilley's that was supposed to work but the kit didn't come with the proper trans diagnosis connector. It had one for the engine but not the trans. It's OBD-1 bub not OBD-2 and, as far as I can find out, only Chrysler made them. I have an Actron that was fairly cheap so tell me how I can hook it up when the connector on the trans access port is completely different than the one on the Actron. Please inform me.

[@hussainquillmann9338]

​@@larryhutchens7593why in the world even fix that one? I gotta know the story here

[@larryhutchens7593]

@@hussainquillmann9338 Fixed it because I wanted to. Old car with very low miles so why not. Gripe is with the old electronics systems, OBD-1 when everybody was doing their own thing. Electronics great but they can be very aggravating. Had to assume that the trans control modules that I located were old and old electronics slow down & fail to work properly. Solved the problem by locating a 3 speed trans that fit the engine & went that way. Only thing electronic on the 3 speed is the TCC control solenoid & that is mostly electric. All these new multi speed transmissions are totally clutch engagement (no bands) & have to be controlled by an electronic module which is in turn controlled by inputs from the ECM.

What happened if the emergency brake is frozen or just does not hold? Due to most people dont use it?

[@myREALnameISiAM]

Which computer do you use?

[@UberLove1337]

What if a my 2008 dodge avenger won’t do a quick learn. After having my valve body replaced?

[@AnythingAuto]

what does status ff mean?

[@stitchedbyfelicia]

I have this scanner. But the system function doesn’t show on my Zeus.

[@tahir1156]

Thnx informative clip

[@mayelaz9872]

what model of toolscan are you using??

[@djsi38t]

Can I borrow your 10 thousand dollar scan tool?...JK.Why is this necessary?You are saying that simply changing the fluid can make the trans misbehave?Is this due to the viscosity change in the fluid?Also should this test be performed with trans at operating temp?...Where are you we have questions here?

[@rogerstubert]

What he is doing is a quick learn. Disconnect the battery and reconnect t. Drive the car through all the gears and it’ll relearn pal. That’s what you can do. Doesn’t hurt to do this procedure after ANY transmission service or repair.

[@dooleygank3942]

Many vehicles do not reset the stored transmission values by disconnecting the battery. For example, after 2005 some Toyotas require the reset to be done by a scan tool/computer

[@repairvehicle]

Must be very smart customer. I have done video on same van that lasted 500k miles without engine repairs and transmission repaired after 400k miles

[@stevanzaharic]

You traying to say "smart custemer" to pay for self testing procedure for nothing which is not able to change nothing in transmition .If transmition has trouble codes it can be shift solenoids problems which cousing problems failing due to not regulate service of change of trasmition oil which course block of solenoids or leacking inside and some gears is failing in performance.
