Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools: OBD-II scanner, socket set, and protective gloves.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
2. Disconnect Battery
  • Using the socket set, carefully disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
  • Wait at least 10 minutes to allow all systems to reset.
3. Reconnect Battery
  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal and ensure it is tight.
  • Start the vehicle and let it idle for a few minutes to stabilize the idle speed.
4. Perform Adaptive Learning Reset
  • With the vehicle in park, turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine).
  • Use the OBD-II scanner to access the transmission control module (TCM) options.
  • Select the option to reset transmission adaptive learning. Follow the prompts on the scanner.
5. Test Transmission
  • Drive the vehicle in various conditions (city, highway) to allow the transmission to relearn shifting patterns.
  • Monitor for improvements in shifting performance.
