(1). Yes - proceed to Sticking Valves - Main Control Valve Body Step 2.

(2). No

• For vehicles built on or before 1-Nov-2021, proceed to - Transmission Solenoid Strategy Step 1.

• For vehicles built on or after 2-Nov-2021, proceed to - Sticky Valves - Main Control valve Body Step 1.

Transmission Solenoid Strategy - Procedure Group C

1. Reprogram the transmission strategy download into the PCM/TCM. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.

NOTE: When prompted, select Transmission Replacement (Full Assembly) Only and re-enter
the production transmission serial information on the side of the transmission.

2. Perform the adaptive learning drive cycle. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.

3. Does the vehicle still exhibit the condition after performing the adaptive learning drive?

(1). Yes - proceed to Sticking Valves - Main Control Valve Body Step 1.

(2). No - repair is complete.

NOTE: Advise the customer that this vehicle is equipped with an adaptive transmission shift
strategy which allows the vehicle's computer to learn the transmission's unique parameters
and improve shift quality. When the adaptive strategy is reset, the computer will begin a
relearning process. This relearning process may result in firmer than normal upshifts and
downshifts for several days.

Sticking Valves - Main Control Valve Body - Procedure Group C

1. Determine the appropriate clutch(s) to be cycled related to the symptoms present. Refer to WSM, Section
307-01. Proceed to Step 3.

2. Determine the appropriate clutch(s) to be cycled related to DTCs present. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.

3. Record and clear all DTCs present before performing the PCM – Transmission Accelerated Main Control
Break In routine.

CAUTION: Failure to use a frame engaging lift could damage the vehicle.

4. Prepare vehicle for the PCM - Transmission Accelerated Main Control Break In routine by positioning on a
frame-engaging lift with wheels off the ground to prevent vehicle movement.

5. Using the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS), perform the PCM - Transmission Accelerated Main
Control Break In routine 3 times on the appropriate clutch(s) determined to be cycled.

6. Perform the adaptive learning drive cycle. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.

7. Does the vehicle still exhibit the condition after performing the PCM - Transmission Accelerated Main
Control Break In routine and adaptive learning drive cycle?

(1). Yes - proceed to Step 8.

 (1). Yes - proceed to Step 8.

(2). No - repair is complete.

NOTE: Advise the customer that this vehicle is equipped with an adaptive transmission shift
strategy which allows the vehicle's computer to learn the transmission's unique parameters
and improve shift quality. When the adaptive strategy is reset, the computer will begin a
relearning process. This relearning process may result in firmer than normal upshifts and
downshifts for several days.

8. Overhaul (clean and inspect) the main control valve body and road test vehicle following the adaptive
learning drive cycle. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01.
