Adaptive Functions

Adapt Function
Transmission Adapt Function
The 4T40-E transmission uses a line pressure control system, which has the ability to continuously adapt the system's line pressure. This compensates for normal wear of the following parts:
^ The clutch fiber plates
^ The seals
^ The springs
The PCM maintains the Upshift Adapt parameters for the transmission The PCM monitors the AT ISS sensor and the AT OSS during commanded shifts in order to determine if a shift is occurring too fast or too slow. The PCM adjusts the signal from the transmission pressure control solenoid in order to maintain a set shift feel.
Transmission adapts must be reset whenever the transmission is overhauled or replaced. In order to reset transmission adapts, select the following:
1. Tech 2
2. Special Functions
3. Transmission Output Controls
