Condition
Some customers may comment on delayed acceleration or lack of performance from the automatic transmission when applying throttle at low speeds. This may also be described as a flat spotting or delayed shifting at approximately 30-40 km/h (18-25 mph).
Correction
A revised transmission calibration has been developed to address these issues. Reprogram the TCM with an updated software calibration. This new service calibration is available on TIS2WEB using the Service Programming System (SPS). As always, make sure your Tech2® is updated with the latest software version.
