As you know- someone cleared my TCM adaptions (with 107 k fluid//2005 S-type 3.0)) and now the car is having difficulty re-learning the 3-4 the shift point (1800-2000 rpm is does not like, but 22-2400 is fine). So based on Brutal and ZF hotline, I am going to do a fluid/filter change, clear adaptations and then they suggest a re-flash if one is available. I am using the SDD ver. 131.03 and my understanding is that the SDD will not allow for a re-flash unless it is newer


I get to this point in just looking at the system and here is what I get:





transmission control module


Calibration files to be downloaded.


z665659x202ww.phx


Do you want to continue


yes or no





I am using the open update not the coded one for good reason as I could not get a code.





Should I configure this as an existing module or a new module or does it make any difference?





and finally does anyone know or is there any way that I can find out is the z665659x202ww.phx is the valid latest. The last thing I want to do is to brick the TCM. And does the potential correct calibration file take the form of z665659x202ww.phx as a name and extension?

Other than needing outside power for the battery, what are the chances of bricking the TCM if the file loads correctly? Or just do the safe route, get the fluid change (going to use the Mercon SP), clear adaptions and drive the normal 500 miles minus all the things like sport, kick downs and aggressive driving- none of which I do anyway)

Whenever I use IDS to CLEAR ADAPTATIONS I often get a screen prompt that the following modules need reconfiguring "DO YOU WISH TO CONTINUE?"

If the files are up to date, I just get on with the CLEAR ADAPTATIONS.

I guess the software checks the calibration files and advises if there are newer ones??

I have never had any issues with following the on screen prompts.

A few times I have seen the message that the files you are attempting to load are older that the current files, do you wish to continue?
Then I just exit out of configuration of that module.

I have sdd version 145 and I was curious, so i got to the same point you are at showing the calibration file number and it is the same as the one you posted....I would say that one is the latest...sdd 131 was published in summer of 2012 i believe, so that is 9 years after your car and I would think all revisions would have been done by then

 

Thanks Scott- that sounds super and is exactly what i needed to know.

To understand the VID block I suggest reading TSB 1-186 issued almost 15 years ago.

Exactly Bob.,...that is the tsb i was trying to get over to the member with the pcm swap....it covers exactly what i was trying to explain....i do not know how to forward it on

 

We were issued these TSBs in paper form weekly or monthly and we put them into our 3 ring binders.
In the early 2000s we were told that we would no longer be issued PAPER so we had to log onto JBN with our username and password to download all documents.

This was an ADMIN TSB in .pdf so it can be downloaded and sent wherever as a .pdf.
