Hi,

I was looking thru the wiki but couldn't find the procedure, so I figured maybe I can ask here.

What is the proper way to reset the adaptation for this TCU?

I tried "Fast Adaptation" but the text box shows "aborted -- safety reasons" so I stopped. The engine wasn't running, so please let me know if the engine needs to be running as well.

Thanks.

Alex

Moving to Car Repair Support.

What's wrong with the tranny that makes you think it could benefit from this?

Please post an Auto-Scan so people can see exactly what TCU this car has.

Hello. Thank you for taking an interest. I will post a scan log when I get home.

If stationery, in drive and at idle my car sounds as expected. If I shift to either Park, Reverse or Neutral it makes a soft knocking noise. If I increase the rpm it goes away. Also if cold it tends not to be there (again the revs are higher when cold).

I have read that a adaption of the box is required (but have no real idea myself).

Any suggestions welcome. Thank you Mark.

Dual Mass Flywheel - I hadn't considered that - thought that was only on manuals - clearly not. :(

Just wanted to revive this thread a little.

According to SSP 385 (pg 58) for the ZF 6HP transmission, it is necessary to read, evaluate, or delete adaptation values and carry out an adaptation run after:

- following complaints about gearshift comfort
- after repair work has been done on gearbox
- after replacing the gearbox
- after replacing the ATF
- after replacing the mechatronics
- after software update
- after engine repairs

So it stands to reason that the 8HP transmission has similar requirements. So is it possible to delete the adaptation values? I'll post the autoscan for my car asap. But this should apply to mrdeli as well.

The procedure outline in the SSP 385 (pg 63) basically says the below. SSP 457 (pg 53) says to use the same procedure for 0BK and 0BL gearboxes.

1) 02 - gear box
2) 006 - basic settings
3) delete system-specific adaptation values
4) start


Perhaps step 3 above corresponds to "IDE00794 - Erasing of system-specific adaptation values"" mentioned in this thread?

Thanks!

Alex

I just tried this after researching on the web and found a few others who've performed the same procedure with good results.

Erasing the system-specific adaptation values does exactly what the SSP says it would. It erased all the adaptation values and counters for each of the clutches. You can see the values in Advanced Measured Values IDE07437 to IDE07456.

Immediately after the reset, the car shifts a bit rough. There are three types of adaptations the transmission needs to perform: quick, pulse, and slip.

A. Quick adaptation is the first thing to do:

1. ATF temp over 40 C
2. In D, drive with light throttle (60 - 100 Nm), max rpm 2100, 1 ->2 up shift, 2 ->3 upshift, 3 ->4 upshift
3. If possible, decelerate your speed without brake down to 40 kph/24 mph, let transmission downshift itself to proper gear

B. Slip adaptation is next:
4. After less than 24 mph, brake and stop the car completely. While still in D, hold brake and stay stationary for 7 seconds.

C. Pulse adaptation is done automatically while you're driving under light-medium throttle (less than 2100 rpm)

I believe this is necessary because the transmission reduces the frequency of automatic adaptations the higher the adaptation counter is registered in the computer. This is because each adaptation causes slight stress on the clutches/brakes. However, if you have new ATF or new mechatronics, you should re-adapt asap so the transmission shifts at the optimal points. Rough shifts causes more wear. If you do nothing, the system will automatically re-adapt over time, but that may be a long time if the adaptation counter is high.

So basically all I did was drive around the block a few times under light throttle, coast to a stop sign, then start moving under light throttle again. The more I drove/coast/stop, the smoother the shifts became. This totally fixed the slightly rough downshift I had from 4 -> 3.

I tried "Fast Adaptation" but the text box shows "aborted -- safety reasons" so I stopped. The engine wasn't running, so please let me know if the engine needs to be running as well.
Start engine, gear lever on D (not P!), handbrake ON, oil over 40C , foot on the brake , and then start "fast adaptation"- i'm sure it will start...

Hi Azet. can you verify what is supposed to happen when you do this? am i supposed to remain like this until something is displayed?

All doors and hood need to be closed as well.

understood when it says started though. will it eventually say finished or some other information? do i stay in that position?

I haven't done this using VCDS yet only using ODIS, but I would assume it would say started and possibly running while doing the adaption and then finished once complete just like ODIS does. I will say this, I always check fluid level and ensure that the level is correct before performing such and adaption as it will make a difference in the way the transmission behaves during shifts. Standstill adaption needs to be done on a level surface, engine running, trans fluid temp at 40C, all door closed including hood and trunk, Trans need to be in Drive with E brake set and your foot on the brake pedal the whole time. When adaption runs it will bang through all the gears you will feel the car/trans clunk as it engages different clutch packs. Standstill adaption I meant to supplement a driving adaption of clutches. I always do a Standstill then a driving adaption before releasing a vehicle.

If it start doing an adaption and you can feel it engaging different clutch packs as it should and then randomly fails give a warning "exited or ended for reasons due to safety" during the adaption its most likely because there is a fault stored. However based on what your saying it sounds like either a low fluid level, wrong fluid in the trans if changed or it could be normal based on the situation. The only other question that makes sense to ask is the one below.

This noise that you have does it occur if the car is only parked on a uphill or downhill position??

ok. Actually none of the above. i did a trans fluid change and wanted to re adapt the transmission. was only able to do the driving adaptation at the time. its been about 3 weeks since. does it make sense to do this now (go back thorough the reset and adaptation) or should i just leave it

I edited the post above please re read and provide all relevant answers. Type of fluid used if not factory or factory, what part number, how much did you put in and how did you check the level.

fluid and filter was changed with a zf fluid and filter kit. it took 4.5 liters. was just a routine maintenance as i was not the original owner and was unsure if it was ever done (120km). the mech said the fluid was a bit darker than usual. was just looking to run the adaptation after as i see it is recommended to do after such a service. i did the reset and did the driving scenario on light throttle in D as the thread explained earlier. what i do have is some strong engine breaking at times when decelerating. it does not happen all the time.
i was not able to do the fast adaptation as i wasnt sure what was expected.

Does the noise only occur when parked on a uphill or downhill?? You did not answer everything. Fluid type, part number and so on.
