  7. If a replacement transmission assembly is being installed or a new main control valve body is installed, the PCM must be reflashed with a new solenoid body strategy and identification data file. Refer to: Transmission Strategy Download
  8. NOTE: The 13-digit solenoid body strategy number displayed on the scan tool must match the solenoid body strategy number etched on the main control. If the numbers do not match, damage to the transmission or drivability concerns can occur.
    NOTE: If the new main control was not supplied with a replacement solenoid strategy identification stage, DO NOT INSTALL the main control as all required programming information is missing.
