resetting transmission shift tables?

[ramhouston]

Is resetting the transmission shift tables for our trucks easy or complicated? I know for example on a Ford you simply plug in the Forscan application and can reset it in less than 30 seconds. TIA!

You can't do it without sending it to someone to reprogram. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you want to do. Do you want to change when the truck shifts?

can you reset the transmission to learn all over again? that’s the easiest way i can ask the question Lol.

Unplug the battery for a half hour. That's what I have heard.

What is your truck doing that you feel the need to do this?

nothing yet.. *knock on wood*
i just want to be educated much as possible about our trucks.

Without a trip to the dealer you will need to use alfa OBD to reset the adaptives, do a quick-learn etc. quick vid below.

side note.. other high end vehicles that use the 8hp70/75/45 use the same procedure, although in the software they use they drive the vehicle much longer before locking in the quicklearn. Seems to me the more information you give the TCM while doing the quick-learn would be beneficial. But I have not tried this variation of the procedure on the ram.

Disconnect the battery for hour or so.

Does that reset the entire truck back to default settings i'm guessing?

Radio presets and adaptive shift schedule are gone for sure, don`t have memory seats so no comment on that.

Pulling the battery cables does not reset the adaptives. I just had an 8HP out of a truck for 6 months, and everything was still the same when re-installed.
There should actually never be a reason to reset the adaptives and do a quick learn unless the TCM (valve body is replaced).

I must be using wrong terminology, not referring to the transmission self calibration for variations in clutch pack thicknesses and solenoid response times etc.
There might be a more proper term for the transmission adapting to the way the vehicle is being driven, ie. granny vs. all hell bent?

Yes, the truck learns how you drive. You want to reset that, disconnect the battery like suggested above. Or just let it learning. It will adjust to you the more you drive.

I was curious to know about this topic because friend of mine who owns a Ford had harsh downshifting on their F150.
A local F150 forum member came by to my friend's place to reset the truck's shift tables using Forscan and the truck's transmission had to learn all over again. The harsh downshifting never occurred again from that day forward.
