TCM RESETTING 
(1)  Disconnect  the  negative  battery  cable  from  the 
before  replacing  the  transaxle  out   overhaul.
(2)  After  work  has  been  completed,  check 
trouble  codes  (DTC).  If  DTC   12  (“Battery  power  was
disconnected  since  last  power   has  been
generated,  this  DTC  must  be  cleared. Furthermore,  select  “Special  function”  on  the  scan  tool
and  then  set  the  scan  tool  to  Quick  Learn  mode  (car ry
out  this  operation  from  the  scan  tool  screen).  Then  input
the  clutch  volume  index  into  the 
PINION  FACTOR  WRITING  PROCEDURE
 REPLACEMENT OR TIRE SIZE
NOTE
With  transmissions,  the  TCM  uses  the  rotation  speed
of  the  transaxle  output  shaft  to  calculate  the  vehicle  speed
and  cumulative  distance 
  Because  of  this,  it  is
necessary  to  input  (or  update)  the  tire  size  coeffi cient  into
the  TCM  memory  after  the  TCM  has  been  replaced  or  t he
tire  size  has  been  changed.
(1)  Select  “Special  function”  on  the  scan 
  and  then  set
the  scan  tool  to  Pinion  Factor  mode  (carry  out  this operation  from  the  scan  tool  screen).  Then  input  (o r
update)  the  tire  size  coefficient   the  TCM  memory.
Note  that  new 
  do  not   a  tire  size 
already  input.
