    Default E38 5.3 LMG Crank relearn

    my swap ( 2007 5.3 LMG/ 4L60E/BCM, underhood fusebox/'07 cluster and lots of the '07 harness into '97 Tahoe) is done, I had the first testdrives and only a few things have to be addressed.

    1.) If've got the crank relaern DTC but couldn't perform a crank relearn with the latest EFIlive software. All signals are there ( P/N switch, brake applied..) but the bidirectional control seems not to start. When I don't press the brake the "press brake" message is displayed if I do so it disappears but nothing happens. Is there anything else I have to do? I went through some crank relearn threads but nothing new on this side..

    2.) I have no tranny related DTC'S but the torque convertor clutch doesn't lock

    3.) the engine seems to have reduced power. On the last third of the gas pedal nothing changes, also no downshifts appear

    The only DTC'S I have are the crank relearn and the immobilizer key not programmed, that's all

    Any ideas in these topics?

    crank relearn is done. It was my fault, after hitting the case relearn button I waited for something to happen. It's just a matter of tranny in P, footbrake applied and then after clicking on case relearn starting to rev up until about 4000rpm, then foot off the throttle and that's it.

    Sometimes things are all too easy.

    The torque converter not locking up is still there, I've got no DTC's from the tranny at all...

    Harald,

    For CASE relearn:
    - did you get the "stumble" at high rpm and did you immediately release the throttle...?
    - and then after rpm returned to idle, did you turn off the key and wait at least 15-30 seconds...?

    For the TCC:
    - check the wiring: the 4L60E has 2 TCC solenoids: TCC (enable) and TCC PWM (apply/control).
    - log GEAR, TCCMODE, TCCDC, TSTATE09/10/12/00/01/03 to see if the TCM is commanding the TCC or if the brake switch is inhibiting TCC apply.

    For reduced engine power:
    - log STATE03 to see if REP mode is active.

    Post your logs.

    Default interesting stuff

    I was going through the TCM tunes and found when I modify the tire spec and try to save the file I recieve a range error. Here are the screenshots:
    Data for a 285/75/16 tire according to manufactor:






    cal file, TCM details:



    When I first open that .tun file and enter that section I see:



    and that:


    there must be a glitch somewhere, as soon as I correct the tire data I have a range error???

    Looks like the scaling on H0101 is messed up. I can reproduce the same fault here. I'm getting Ross to take a look at it now...

    Also check if you are getting misfires... the presence of misfires will inhibit TCC apply.

    Default TCC solved another discovered

    TCM from 2007 4wd Tahoe OS 24235341 Calibration:24233141

    no downshifts when I hit the throttle, no TCC lockup.

    I changed the TCM tune to the one that came with the TCM its from a

    2007 2wd Suburban OS 24235341 Calibration 24235341

    This one makes the difference. I've got part throttle shifts, downshifts with more throttle, kickdown and also the TCC locks. Only difference to my old 1997 setup is that you barly feel the TCC lockup, its very smooth. Big drawback, the cal file is from a 2wd and my 4wd Tahoe doesn't shift at in low range with this tune. What could I do ?

    Reported this one to support 17th November. Only applies to specific cals. Others work ok. Basically the result is one or more cals cant be programmed at present.

    Cheers!
