TCM and Addaptives Question

[InferAl]

I have 2 TCM's and they both have been Flashed into the car and had the addaptives done at different times can I switch back and forth without them having to do the addaptives again

Thanks Al

The adaptives will reset everytime you pull the battery.

[InferAl]

Will it take it some time to relearn the other TCM even though it has been in the car before.And if i pull the battery cable will everything that I had done and have been driving around having the car learn for over 200 miles will that also have to be relearned

[Cam]

Yup.

[InferAl]

Yup.

Well I better wait cause I'm supposed to go to the dyno Thurs

So then don't unplug battery and plug in tcm...

since TCM has no B+ feed, adaptives are stored in non-volatile memory. disconnecting battery will have no effect on TCM.

You know what there Mr Chicken, never thought about it. But no matter what I have done with the PCM, my tranny always remained a constant with what ever tune I choose to program the TCM with. Or should I say that adaptives never played a roll in how my tranny reacted.

So swapping the TCM hot, will be OK??.

They are both sitting in there and I keep switching the plugs back and forth and can't decide if one is better than the other.One is my stock 06 TCM that was flashed to 92AK and the other is the Heat Stage 1 that is actually a 05 90AF but I think it shifts better than the flashed stock 06

I hate to add to this thread because it concerns heat who has royally ripped me off, but the heat TCM does shift harder. I took three TCM's to the track, Stock (SRT autostick enabled), Stock with AK flash, and a heat. Heat shifted the hardest.

Did you ever check the number on it with your starscan I was alsways thinking it was just a regular TCM from a earlier model LX car that had firmer shifting as I remember being said a long time ago. The number on my Heat TCM is 4692390AF, hardware 0006, software 04.12.17 which is from a 05 model

Hey inferal!! While fast56 is here why don't you get him to flash your 06 tcm to 6400 for ya!! Would solve yur shifting huh??

[lafrad]

The Heat stage 1 is definately a different animal than the stage 2. Same for most aftermarket TCM's.

In my case, my Heat stage 1 seems to be a rebadged "early model".

BUT... a Stage 2 would give me 6200 rpm shfits and such... not at all something that a stock 5.7 computer would EVER do. Same is rumored to be with other stage 2 computers from other vendors... so it very well may be from something (or adapted from something) that is more aggressive than an LX has to offer from the factory... at any time.
