Powertrain Control Module

The PCM receives inputs from various engine or vehicle sensors and driver demands to control shift scheduling, shift feel and Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) operation. The PCM has an adaptive learn strategy to electronically control the transaxle which will automatically adjust the shift feel. The first few hundred miles of operation of the transaxle may have abrupt shifting. This is a normal operation. If the battery has been disconnected for any reason, it will need to be kept disconnected for approximately 20 minutes to reset the adaptive shift pressure strategy or the scan tool should be used to clear the transmission keep alive memory (KAM) tables. For PCM location, see POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE LOCATION  table.
