SHIFT QUALITY IMPROVEMENT FOR ACCENTS WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLES
DESCRIPTION:
A modified Transaxle Control Module (TCM) is available for the Accent to reduce shift shock and/or delay during the following conditions:
1. Shift shock after shifting from P-D or N-D, then accelerating.
2. Excessive delay (more than 1.5 seconds) and shift shock when shifting from P-R or P-D (also N-R or N-D).
NOTE:
Excessive delay and/or shift shock may also be caused by an ATF oil temperature sensor that is out of specification. Test the ATF oil temperature sensor according to TSB # 96-40-001 prior to changing the TCM.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
Using a 10 mm socket, remove the three bolts that mount the TCM under the driver's side of the lower crash pad, to the left of the brake pedal.
