Hyundai automatic transmission adaptation reset
A Hyundai automatic transmission adaptation reset is a process that resets the data stored in the transmission control module (TCM) about specific vehicle and driver characteristics. This is done in order to optimize the operation of the transmission in accordance with new operating conditions.
Reasons for resetting automatic transmission adaptation:
* Installation of a new automatic transmission or repair of an existing one.
* Significant changes in driving style or vehicle performance (for example, engine tuning).
* Problems with automatic transmission operation, such as shift delays or jerking.
Procedure for resetting automatic transmission adaptation:
The exact procedure for resetting the automatic transmission adaptation may vary depending on the Hyundai model, but it usually includes the following steps:
1. Warm up the engine and transmission by driving a few kilometers.
2. Find a safe place to stop the car.
3. Place the vehicle in Park (P).
4. Turn off the engine.
5. Press and hold the brake pedal.
6. Turn on the ignition, but do not start the engine.
7. Continue holding down the brake pedal for approximately 1 minute.
8. Turn off the ignition and take your foot off the brake pedal.
9. Start the engine.
Important:
* After resetting the adaptation, some “retraining” of the automatic transmission will be required in accordance with your driving style. This may take from a few minutes to several days.
* If problems with the automatic transmission do not disappear after resetting the adaptation, additional diagnostics and repairs may be required.
