Valve Body Programming

[tomo123]

What was the name of the trans specialist down here?

Are you sure it needs reprogramming? They would normally read the data off the old ecu and swap it back on to the new one once the valve body was replaced, using the Consult3, via the OBD2 connector.

Transmission specialist here is Mick Taylor, my car was sitting there for 2 months before I decided this is ridiculous.

When I call back the nissan dealer ill tell them they should be able to do it in house, every company i call asks for my VIN though. As soon as they find out its JDM they can't do anything.

Supposedly some computers have to be changed Leroy

I posted up directions on sau for how to put tranny ecu in diagnostics mode to get fault codes and clear/ reset them. Might be worth checking out yourself and clearing them. I had a similar problem with mine and after clearing the codes the problem disappeared. I hope you will have the same outcome. Good luck either way.

Most (all?) Nissan dealerships will have a local version of FAST and an import version of FAST.

They may be referencing this when they say "have to change computer", meaning that they have to physically get up and move to the computer that has the import version of FAST on it.

This may be seen as too much effort for some.

EDIT: Yes, I understand how salty I am. Sue me.

It's all done on the Consult3 Toughbook, no need to move desktop computers Cam.

Yes there is only one program, and they need to change the software to JDM but a good diagnostic tech can do that easily.

Found out the valve body itself doesn't need any programming, it's the mechatronic unit attached to the valve body that needs to be programmed. Currently the mission is finding a new valve body and mechatronic assembly.

If swapped out valve body might as well just put a shift kit in. Might even be cheaper!

Read on here that the transgo shift kit isn't that good for the box.

On here? I doubt it...

[tomo123]

Definitely on here, it was up recently but I can't find the post. I'll most likely still get the shit kit done while the valve body is out.

Has anyone ever swapped a PM35 stagea box with a V35 auto box? How'd you go with the programing if there was any
