Quick Question ! Does a new Trans need to be programmed to my car?

[thegtway]

We are replacing the 6r80 transmission in my 2016 mustang GT (not replacing anything computer related). After completed does the car need to be taken anywhere to get the new transmission programmed to my vehicle or should my car learn the new transmission on its on ?

Needs to be programd

Yep - and you need to do a crank relearn procedure as well after the trans has been programmed. Anytime there is major engine or trans work performed, a crank relearn is mandatory.

As long it’s from the same generation, and from a Mustang GT, no programming needed. No crank relearn needed, but always good practice.

The pcm needs to be programed to the replacement transmission/valve body . The solenoids in the main control have different flow rates and need to be programed into the pcm .

1. If a new main control was installed, record the 12-digit solenoid body identification and 13-digit solenoid body strategy from the replacement solenoid body tag provided with the main control service kit. Place the replacement tag over the existing identification tag.

Mine didn’t require anything when I put in my latest PBH tranny. 1600 miles on it and shifts/performs exactly like it did with my previous one. PBH said it’s not necessary as well. If it was from an F-150, that would be different.

Right out of the service manual .

1. If a new transmission or a new main control was installed, the solenoid body strategy must be updated.
   Refer to: Transmission Strategy Download (307-01 Automatic Transmission - 6-Speed Automatic Transmission – 6R80, General Procedures).

This may only apply to “New” PCM’s and “New” valve bodies.
