ATM software is an electronic process that regulates and optimizes the operation of an automatic transmission (AT) to ensure smooth, efficient gear shifts.
The purpose of automatic transmission software adaptation:
* Optimize gear shift points for maximum fuel economy and performance.
* Compensate for wear of automatic transmission components over time, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operation of the gearbox.
* Eliminate jerking, slipping and other problems with gear shifting that arise due to changes in automatic transmission characteristics.
Automatic transmission software adaptation process:
* Special diagnostic equipment is connected to the automatic transmission control module (TCM).
* The car starts and idles.
* A series of controlled gear shifting procedures are performed that include acceleration, braking and driving at different speeds.
* The TCM collects real-time data during adaptation procedures and uses it to adjust gear shift parameters.
* Upon completion of adaptation, the TCM saves the updated parameters, optimizing the operation of the automatic transmission for a particular vehicle.
When automatic transmission software adaptation is required:
* After replacing or repairing automatic transmission components
* If there are problems with gear shifting (for example, jerking, slipping)
* If the automatic transmission software has been changed
* To optimize the operation of the automatic transmission after a long period of operation or changes in driving conditions
Advantages of automatic transmission software adaptation:
* Improved shift smoothness and efficiency
* Increased fuel economy
* Reduced wear of automatic transmission components
* Improved vehicle performance
