Advance Setup 3:

MIN TCC LOCK:

This setting is the minimum vehicle speed required for the TCU to lock the torque converter

clutch. Locking the TCC while cruising is good for fuel economy. It also allows the transmission fluid to cool.
However, TCC lockup can be completely disabled if desired by entering an unobtainable speed in this setting. The
vehicle would then always be below the minimum speed for TCC lockup.

MAX TCC TPS:

This setting is the maximum throttle opening allowed before the torque converter clutch is un-

locked. When the TCC locks up, it can feel similar to shifting into a higher gear. RPM’s typically drop and the
engine has to work harder to accelerate the vehicle. If this setting is too low, TCC will unlock too easily. This can be
an annoyance as it locks and unlocks too often in the course of normal cruising. If this setting is too high, the
vehicle may feel unresponsive during medium to high speed cruising. As more throttle is applied, the engine may feel
like it is struggling until the TCC finally unlocks and allows the engine to more easily accelerate the vehicle. The
proper setting is subjective and also dependant on the characteristics of the vehicle and its powertrain – vehicle
weight, engine torque, etc. Some experimentation will likely be required to find the preferred value for this setting.

PERF AGGRESS: This setting determines how much more aggressive the shift strategy becomes when in Perfor-
mance Mode. A higher number means that the transmission will hold gears longer and be quicker to downshift. This
adjustment is applied on top of whatever adjustment is already in place through the SHIFT AGGRESS setting.

PERF FIRMNESS:

This setting determines how much shifts are firmed up when in Performance Mode. A higher

number means firmer shifts. This adjustment is applied on top of whatever adjustment is already in place through the
SHIFT FIRMNESS setting.

DONE:

This will take you back to the main menu.
