Clutch and Rail Calibrations - Automatically Initiated

To ensure proper transmission operation after TCM installation, TCM, MTM, and clutch transmission need to be calibrated. Calibrations automatically initiate after vehicle air system pressure reaches operating range (approximately 100 psi).

  1. Key on with engine running.

  2. Allow vehicle air pressure to build to governor cut-off.

    Note: Clutch and Rail Calibrations automatically initiate when vehicle air pressure reaches approximately 100 psi.

  3. Ensure “N” (Neutral) is selected and engine is running. Wait for approximately 2 minutes for calibrations to complete.

    Notice
    If process is interrupted, key off, wait 1 minute, go to Step 1.
    • If vehicle display indicates a solid “N” (Neutral) in gear display, calibrations are complete. Key off, go to Step 5.
