Initial Learning Procedure

WARNING:
  • When performing a initial learning, be aware of other vehicles, people, and other impediments to order to avoid an accident.
NOTE:
  • While self-learning control gradually reduces shock during normal driving, initial learning is performed to initially learn a certain amount of driving conditions.
  1. Warm-up
    • Increase the ATF temperature by leaving the vehicle idling or performing city driving. Verify that the ATF temperature is between 50-120 °C {122-248 ° F}  . If the ATF temperature is outside this range, work to bring it inside the range.
    CAUTION:
    • Do not raise the ATF temperature by stalling the engine.
    NOTE:
    • If the ATF temperature is not between 50-120 °C {122-248 °F}  , initial learning cannot be performed.

      Before learning, inspect for variable shift shock.

  2. Gear shift control learning
    • In D position, with the throttle opening between 25- 30 %  , drive until you reach 6th gear and a vehicle speed of 80 km/h {50 mph} or higher  . Then, release the accelerator pedal and coast, and bring the vehicle to a stop in at least 60 s  . Repeat this procedure 10 times  .
  3. Inspect learning results
    • Verify that variable speed shock and shift shock have decreased compared to the conditions before learning.
