• Power On Up Shift Learning

Zone Procedure

TPS 25%, 1st  4th gear upshift

3 zone
(Repeat 2~3times)

TPS 15%, 1st  4th gear upshift

2 zone
(Repeat 2~3times)

TPS 7~8%, 1st  4th gear upshift

1 zone
(Repeat 2~3times)

4 zone TPS 40%, 1st  4th gear upshift

(40% ~ WOT) (Repeat 2~3times)

• N→D, N→R Learning

(1) The learning zone for ‘Static Shift’ is decided depending on the ATF temperature
(-5~120 ) and engine speed.
(2) After N->R shift, select N range for 4sec or more and then shift N->R (Repeat
several times)
(3) After N->D shift, select N range for 4sec or more and then shift N->D (Repeat
several times)

• Power On Down Shift Learning

(1) The learning zone is decided depending on the ATF temperature(50~120 ) and
turbine speed.
(2) Especially it will be mainly affected from the engine condition(load and torque).
(3) There are many conditions to be satisfied, however it is important that the TPS
ratio must be higher than 30% (1.9V).
