INTRODUCTION

This is to announce that TCM reprogramming files are now available to enhance the performance of the valves within the valve body. The purpose of this enhancement is to reduce the possibility of intermittent valve sticking. The current shifting or functionally of the transmission is not affected by this enhancement. It is recommended that reprogramming be performed on all applicable vehicles to assure proper transmission operation.

NOTE: TCM reprogramming files were sent to all SDS users, as reprogramming SSMIII Flashwrite files on Friday September 11, 2009.
