Materials required to adapt the Toyota Corolla automatic transmission:
* New automatic transmission
* Reprogramming software
* Automatic transmission tester
* Special tools for disassembling and assembling the gearbox
Adaptation procedure:
1. Troubleshooting: Use an automatic transmission tester to determine the cause of the malfunction. Make sure the problem is with the transmission and not with other components such as the engine or electronic transmission control module (TCM).
2. Transmission Replacement: Remove the existing transmission and install a new one. Make sure your new transmission matches the make, model, and year of your vehicle.
3. Reset TCM: Reset the TCM to clear old adaptive settings. This can be done using a diagnostic scanner or manually by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes.
4. Starting the Engine: Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. This will allow TCM to begin the learning process again.
5. Gear shift: Shift gears manually in all positions (D, N, R, P). Let the automatic transmission shift for a few minutes.
6. Driving Control: Start moving and control the vehicle in various driving conditions (acceleration, braking, steep ascents and descents).
7. TCM Reprogramming: Use TCM reprogramming software to adjust transmission settings and optimize transmission performance with the new unit.
8. Testing: Test drive the car and evaluate the operation of the automatic transmission. Make sure it shifts smoothly, on time, and without slipping or jerking.
Adviсe:
* Perform the adaptation procedure in warm conditions to facilitate the learning process.
* Use high quality automatic transmission fluids.
*Seek assistance from a qualified mechanic if you do not have the necessary tools or experience to perform this procedure.
*Once adaptation is complete, the automatic transmission should be regularly maintained to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
