• 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.
