Adaptation of automatic transmission after replacing the valve body

The valve body is an important component of an automatic transmission, responsible for controlling fluid flow and pressure. The valve body may need to be replaced due to wear, damage or malfunction. After installing a new valve body, it is necessary to adapt the automatic transmission to ensure optimal operation of the transmission.

How to adapt an automatic transmission

Adaptation of an automatic transmission after replacing the valve body usually includes the following steps:

1. Clearing the memory of adaptive values

* Start the engine and warm it up to operating temperature.
* Turn off the engine and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for at least 30 minutes.
* Connect the negative terminal of the battery and start the engine.
*Check if any indicator lights or error messages are on.

2. Starting the adaptation procedure

* Make sure the vehicle is in park and the brake pedal is depressed.
* Move the gear shift lever to all positions (P, R, N, D) with a delay of a few seconds in each position.
* Move the gear shift lever to position D and press the gas pedal for 3 seconds.
* Release the gas pedal and press it all the way.
* Keep the gas pedal pressed for 15-30 seconds until you see a change in engine speed or the cooling fan turns on.

3. Completion of the adaptation procedure

* Release the gas pedal and move the gear lever to position P.
* Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes.
* Start the engine and test drive it to check the operation of the automatic transmission.

4. Error monitoring

* Use a trouble code scanner to check for any fault codes in the automatic transmission.
* If errors are found, contact a qualified technician for diagnosis and repair.
