    • Disconnect the TCM electrical connector.
    • A new TCM requires programming. Refer to Control Module References .
    • It is recommended that transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset. Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, the ECM, powertrain control module (PCM) or TCM will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned. Reset the TAP values.
