Update Programming, ECM, TCM Software Update and Valve Body Replacement for Harsh Up - Down Shift from Transmission when Cold

Customer may experience harsh up shift in gears 1-2 and 2-3, or harsh down shift in gears 3-2 and 2-1. The symptom is most noticeable at transmission temperatures below 60°C (140°F).

No DTCs are stored in the TCM or the ECM for this complaint.

Comfort concern only.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

For harsh 1-2-3 up/downshifts when cold:

Internal transmission pressure difference on solenoid valve -N283- during shifting.

Updated ECM and TCM software and updated transmission valve body addresses:

Harsh Up/Down Shift 1-2-3, 3-2-1

PRODUCTION SOLUTION

Updated transmission valve body, ECM and TCM software.

SERVICE

Check the ECM and TCM software level using the VAS 5051/5052.
Tip:

If the update programming button does not appear, the latest version has already been installed.

NOTE: If software level is equal to or above updated software level noted in Updated ECM or TCM Software table, DO NOT continue with this technical bulletin , contact technical assistance by selecting the "Technical Assistance" tab in ElsaWeb and follow the instructions to obtain a 6 digit pin.

If ECM or TCM software level is below updated software level noted in Updated ECM and/or Transmission Control Module Software table:

Install updated transmission valve body Part No. 09G325039* (* = install latest suffix part number available for the model), See Repair Manual Group 38 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, 6spd. Automatic Transmission.
Update ECM and TCM program following the procedure below.

Update Programming Procedure

Tip:

To Update-Programming using SVM, review and follow instructions in Technical Bulletin Instance 2014603 "Software Version Management".

The SVM Process must be completed in its entirety so the database receives the update confirmation response. A warranty claim may not be reimbursed if there is no confirmation response to support the claim.

NOTE: Prior to launching VAS-PC application and starting control module update process, confirm tester screen saver and power settings in accordance with Special Tools and Equipment - Service Information Circular # VSE-08-18. Failure to do so may result in the tester entering power save mode during data transfer, and subsequent control module failure.
When using a VAS 6150/5051B or VAS 5052A tester in conjunction with a VAS 5054A wireless transmitter head for a flash procedure, please connect a USB cable between the transmitter head and the tester. Failure to do so may lead to errors during the flash procedure.

Update the Engine Control Module using the SVM action code as listed in the table below:
