Section 5Automatic Transmission LearningNote: Please refer to the Banks IQSoftware & Installation Kit Owner’sManual for software installation andoperation instruction before beginningSection 6, Automatic TransmissionLearning.The 6.6L Chevy Duramax Trucksequipped with the Allison 10006-speed automatic overdrivetransmission use an adaptive shiftcontrol logic. This will require thetransmission to adapt to the additionalpower created by the Banks Powerproducts before it will shift properly.Failure to follow the sequence canresult in damage to the transmission.Perform the following sequence at alocation where it is safe to acceleratewithout exceeding the posted speedlimit.1. Set Six-Gun Tuner to Level 1 powersetting, start the truck and allow theengine to reach normal operatingtemperature.2. Adjust Six-Gun to Level 2, powersetting.3. Drive vehicle for 5 to 10 milesensuring a complete shift cycle thougheach gear. (The transmission shiftadaptation learning process requires15 to 30 complete shift cycles to learnnew shift program.)4. Increase power level by one andrepeat Step 3 until the desired powerlevel is achieved.WARNING: Take particular care notto do wide open runs in 5th gearwhen in Automatic transmissionLearning Mode.The Allison 1000 6-speed automatictransmission will continually adaptto the power output of the engine tooptimize shift quality. The transmissionwill quickly adapt to the power settingif the driving cycle includes regulargear changes at high loads. Thetransmission learning procedure willneed to be repeated when switchingback to the higher power settingsonce the transmission adapts tothe lower power settings. It will beapparent when the transmissionadapts to the lower settings bymonitoring the feel of the gearshift.Gear changes will be noticeably harderwhen initially switching from a higherto lower power setting. This will softenas the transmission adapts to the newsetting.-END, SECTION 5-20 96819 v.3.0
