The 4T40 automatic transmission uses a line pressure control system, which has the ability to continuously adapt the system line pressure. This compensates for normal wear of the following parts:

The powertrain control module (PCM) maintains the Upshift Adapt parameters for the transmission. The PCM monitors the input speed sensor (ISS) and the output speed sensor (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 (PC) solenoid in order to maintain a set shift feel.

Transmission adapts must be set again when the transmission is overhauled or replaced. In order to set the transmission adapts again, select the following:

1. Scan Tool
2. Transmission/Transaxle
3. Special Functions
4. Reset Transmission Adapts
