BACKGROUND American Honda has made several shift quality improvements in the 2015 and 2016 TLX V6. SYMPTOM There is a sensation of acceleration while coasting down a hill. There is a sensation of a surge while braking. The transmission feels like it stays in gear too long. CORRECTIVE ACTION Update the TCM software. Clear all DTCs created during the update and do the idle learn procedure. This software update will change the way the transmission shifts. After the update it may take up to 30 miles for the transmission to adapt to the clients driving habits.

Replacement TCMs don?t come with trim data. After installation, you need to run a teach-in (hydraulic pressure characteristic calibration) procedure with the HDS. The problem is that A/T DTC P287C (transmission adaptive values not learned) is set, which prevents teach-in.
BTS-151101 V2
Replacement TCMs dont come with trim data. After installation, you need to run a teach-in (hydraulic pressure characteristic calibration) procedure with the HDS. The problem is that A/T DTC P287C (transmission adaptive values not learned) is set, which prevents teach-in. This happens because the TCM is programmed to look for trim data any time the ignition is cycled. If the TCM doesnt see that trim data, it sets A/T DTC P287C. If any DTCs are set, the TCM wont initiate teach-in and, as a result, cant learn the trim data. Its a classic catch-22 situation.

Dealer message - During manufacturing of the 9-speed automatic transmission, it is possible that contamination may cause the parking pawl not to engage or the park rod may have been damaged during assembly and could dislodge, both of which can prevent the transmission from shifting into the Park position even if the driver has selected the Park position with the gear selector. Although the shift indicator will display "Park", the Park Lock may not engage allowing the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
DLR MSG - 2015 T
Dealer message - We are happy to announce the team now has a validated inspection procedure for clearing (and repairing if needed) these vehicles. We will be working over the weekend to mature and train on this procedure. As soon as next week we plan to have teams in markets inspecting and clearing dealer inventories. Specifics will be communicated as soon as they are available.
DLR MSG - Stop S
Dealer message - On December 3, 2014 Acura notified NHTSA of a Stop Sale order and Safety Recall for approximately 9,500 TLX V6 vehicles. During manufacturing of the 9speed automatic transmission, it is possible that contamination may cause the parking pawl not to engage or the park rod may have been damaged during assembly and could dislodge, both of which can prevent the transmission from shifting into the Park position. Although the shift indicator will display ?Park?, the Park Lock may not engage allowing the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
DLR MSG - Client
Dealer message - In a continuing effort to provide the highest level of client satisfaction, Acura has released a software update for the audio, navigation, and hands-free phone systems. This software update provides functional and graphical improvements to make the systems more user friendly in the 2015 MDX and TLX. Refer to VIN Inquiry status to determine which vehicles in your inventory are eligible for this update.
