General Procedure

  1. Using the scan tool, select Module Programming and Programmable Parameters under the toolbox icon and select transmission. Follow the instructions displayed on the scan tool. There are fields to enter the solenoid body 7-digit identification and 13-digit strategy recorded from the solenoid body.
    2. NOTE: If the solenoid body information is not correct, transaxle damage or driveability concerns can occur.
  2. Enter the solenoid body identification and strategy. The scan tool will verify that the numbers entered are valid and display a message if the information is not valid. The scan tool checks to see if the file is present on the scan tool. If the file is present, the technician may proceed with downloading the file to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). If the file is not present, the scan tool will need to be connected to the Professional Technician Society (PTS) server to download the file onto the scan tool.
  3. Verify that the file is present on the scan tool. If the file is present, go to Step  8. If the file is not present, continue with this procedure.
  4. Connect the scan tool to the Professional Technician Society (PTS) server.
  5. Open a vehicle service session and from the On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) tab select Trans Strategy.
  6. Following the directions listed on the screen, download the strategy file.
  7. Reconnect the scan tool to the vehicle.
  8. Follow the instructions displayed on the scan tool.
  9. If a new solenoid body was installed, place the replacement solenoid body service tag that is provided with the solenoid body service kit, over the existing solenoid body service tag.
