- The transmission control module (TCM) must be programmed with the proper software/calibrations. Ensure that the following conditions exist in order to prepare for TCM programming:
 
| •  | The battery is fully charged. | 
 
| •  | The ignition switch is in the RUN position. | 
 
| •  | The Techline equipment cable connection at the data link connector (DLC) is secure. | 
 
- Program the TCM using the latest software matching the vehicle. Refer to up-to-date Techline equipment user instructions.
 
- If the TCM fails to program, proceed as follows:
 
| 3.1.  | Ensure that the TCM connection is OK. | 
 
| 3.2.  | Inspect the Techline equipment for the latest software version. | 
 
| 3.3.  | Attempt to program the TCM. If the TCM still cannot be programmed properly, replace the TCM. |
