Sub ROM Unit
- Installing location: The valve body upper part
- Function: To obtain A/T fluid pressure stability by compensating for solenoid & valve body unit fluid pressure differential.
- Principle: Install additional ROM onto valve body of automatic transmission and input fluid pressure differential of solenoid & valve body so that TCM reads the input data to perform fluid pressure compensation.

- Maintenance
- When replacing with a new TCM in the vehicle
- TCM automatically reads SUB ROM DATA during I.G ON. At this time, shift range valve is off for about 2.5 second.
- When replacing A/T (regardless of new or old ones) in the vehicle
- Must erase SUB ROM DATA stored in TCM.
- Erase SUB ROM DATA in SCAN TOOL delete mode during shift stage in R-range + accelerator opening angle maintains 50% + I.G ON.
- TCM reads SUB ROM DATA from a new A/T upon I.G ON again after IGG OFF.
- Moving TCM from vehicle A to another vehicle B
- Perform the same way as in 2) above.
