Resetting the Transmission Fluid Change Counter






Resetting the Transmission fluid change counter

Hint: The transmission control module (TCM) has a counter for the oil quality. The counter counts up if the transmission is exposed to too high a load or an ambient temperature that is too high. If the counter is not reset when the oil is drained or changed, there is a risk that a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be stored incorrectly. Therefore it is important that the "Transmission oil change" counter is reset.

Note! This only applies when the transmission fluid is changed and when the fluid is changed during repairs to the transmission temperature sensor.




- Ignition on.
Click on the VCT2000 symbol to reset the counter.
