How To Perform N Position Learning
If the automatic transmission or the TCU is replaced, be sure to initialize the learned values and perform N position learning.
1.
Stop the vehicle by shifting the shift lever to the P range and chock the tires. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
Check that the vehicle is stationary before operation.
2.
Release the shift lock, and shift the shift lever to the N range.
3.
Check that the TCU N position mark is correct.
4.
Check that the N position is correctly displayed on the High-Scan Pro.
The command cannot be input unless the ignition switch is on, the shift lever is in the N range, the engine is stopped, and the vehicle speed is 0 km/h.
-
Input NG is indicated: Check again that the N position mark is correct. If it is incorrect, adjust it.
-
Input OK is indicated: Turn the ignition switch off after releasing the shift lock and shift the shift lever to the P range. Turn the ignition switch on after 5 seconds.
5.
Shift the shift lever from the P to the D position, then check that the indicator displays the correct position.
A.
Display is correct: Check the trouble code.
B.
Display is incorrect: Perform the initial learning.
How To Perform Initial Learning
If the automatic transmission or the TCU are replaced, or the TCU software is overwritten, be sure to initialize the learned values and perform initial learning.
1.
Warm-up
Raise the ATF temperature by leaving the vehicle idling or performing a city drive. Check the ATF temperature using the special tester and make sure it is between 66 and 110°C. If the oil temperature is outside this range, work to bring it inside the range.
Do not attempt to raise the oil temperature by stalling the engine.
If the oil temperature is not between 66 and 110°C, initial learning cannot be performed. Before learning, check for shift shock or variable speed shock.
2.
Garage shift learning
With the vehicle stationary, depress the brake and keep the shift lever in N for 3 seconds. Then, shift from N into D, and maintain this condition for 3 seconds. Repeat this procedure 5 times. Then repeat 5 times in the same way for R.
3.
Gear shift control learning
In D, with the throttle opening angle between 25 and 35%, drive until 6th gear and a vehicle speed of 110 km/h or higher is reached. Then, release the accelerator pedal and coast, and bring the vehicle to a stop within 60 seconds. Repeat this procedure 10 times.
4.
Check learning results
Check that variable speed shock and shift shock have decreased compared to the conditions before learning.
