6R80 Reset or Disable Adaptive Transmission Tables

[MidnightStars]

Hello all,

Outside of simply disconnecting the car's battery for a few hours, how do you reset the adaptive transmission tables? Better yet, how can you outright disable it through FORScan?

Tried looking far and wide for answers, but everything was about the 10R80, or locked away with a simple answer "I disabled it," with no means on how to do it. Can't make a thread on the FORScan forums, because you need some special invitation code to even make an account on it...

PCM - Clear Transmission Adaptive Tables under the services tab. https://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=90306#p90306

Also, if Forscan disable is available for your transmission, this is what to look for: https://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=90306#p90306

Sweet, thank you. I'll report back what I find tomorrow

Check this thread out; even though it’s for the 10R80, most of what is discussed and how to do it may also apply to the 6R80 too:

You can disable the adaptives on the 6R80. Mine has been off for about 5K miles. No issues.

How did you accomplish this?

It is an option in ForScan

Thank you all for your help. I have found the settings, and have proceeded to clear, halt, and stop the adaptive transmission. She shifts smoother than butter now, I have long forgotten just how smooth the 6R80 is capable of shifting, I can't feel a thing!

How did you accomplish this?

Take a look at what MiamiGT350 shared. If you have FORScan, that's how.
These modules/scripts are found within the BCM (BdyCM).

I personally ran "Clear...," "Halt...," and "Stop...," in that order.

Good to hear you’re able to perform the updates you wanted via Forscan.

So the drivability is night-n-day from what it used to be?

I don’t know why auto manufacturers believe there is a need for “adaptive learning” transmission code when it’s doing nothing but causing owners to dislike how the trans shifts/pertorms.

Surprisingly, yeah. I've driven it in this condition for about six years, and personally complained to myself about the 1-2-3 and sometimes 3-4 shifts being unusually rough or "hesitant." And when switching between drive & reverse (especially from drive to reverse), it feels like being shot or something WHY does the whole thing CLUNK!?

Transmission reset, then all shifts are perfectly smooth, even between drive and reverse. 99% of the time, I can't tell if it shifted. The only definite shift I can feel is 1-2, but easily forgetable from how smooth everything is overall.

In sport mode, it has the proper, non-hesitant, firm shift--rougher than drive mode, but an expected amount of shift force.

I absolutely hate the adaptive transmission learning feature of my car. Every 6-9 months I have to reset KAM from my tuner because my transmission starts misbehaving. Clunking, sometimes it lags 3-4 seconds when I floor the gas trying to change lane. I will have to check to see if I have the option to disable it in Forscan, Thank you guys for the information.

Just an update on this, I have a 2016 V6 with the 6R80. This procedure works, and I used the same steps of Clear, Halt and then stop the adaptive learning. This change made me to like my car again...I was really frustrated with the transmission as it was very unpredictable and weird shifting most of the times. Now It's shifting as it should and very consistant. The programming is not changing and it's very predictable.

Excuse me.
I have the same transmision as yours. How did you executed? First clear transmision and then stop adaptative learning? Or did you halt as a second step before pushing stop. I still dont know the difference between halt and stop. Thank you.

 

[K4fxd]

Anything listed as adaptive I turned off or halted.

 

[akmon]

Ok. Thank you. You applied both, stop and halt. I'll proceed tomorrow. Many thanks.
