Q77 Transmission Control Solenoid Valve Characterization Programming: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 HD, 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, 2018 GMC Sierra 1500, 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, and 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The solenoids in this transmission require unique performance characteristic data in order to function at maximum efficiency. This data is programmed and stored in the vehicle's transmission control module (TCM). When a transmission assembly, TCM, or solenoids are replaced during service, the performance characteristic data for the solenoids must be retrieved from a web server "cloud" repository and reprogrammed into the TCM.
Reprogramming also ensures that the characteristic data relationship is properly matched between the solenoids, valve body, and transmission.
Solenoid characterization reprogramming is performed using the TIS2Web Service Programming System (SPS).
