IF YOU CONFIRM
The customer reports a transmission judder (shake, shudder, single or multiple bumps or vibration).
NOTE: A new diagnostic logic has been established to enhance the diagnostic process by storing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) on Applied Vehicles.
The new DTCs are:
P17F1 (CVT_JUDDER [C/U INSPECTION])
P17F0 (CVT_JUDDER [T/M INSPECTION])
ACTION
- Refer to page 4, step 6 in the SERVICE PROCEDURE to confirm this bulletin applies to the vehicle you are working on.
- If this bulletin applies, reprogram the TCM (Transmission Control Module).
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE:
- Most instructions for reprogramming with C-III plus are displayed on the CONSULT PC screen.
- If you are not familiar with the reprogramming procedure, click here. This will link you to the “CONSULT-III plus Reprogramming” general procedure.
CAUTION:
|
- Connect the CONSULT PC to the vehicle to begin the reprogramming procedure.
- Start C-III plus.
- Wait for the plus VI to be recognized.
- The serial number will display when the plus VI is recognized.
- Select Re/programming, Configuration.
Figure 1
- Follow the on-screen instructions and navigate the C-III plus to the screen shown in Figure 2 on the next page.
- When you get to the screen shown in Figure 2, confirm this bulletin applies as follows.
A. Find the TCM Part Number and write it on the repair order.
NOTE: This is the current TCM Part Number (P/N).
Figure 2
B. Compare the P/N you wrote down to the numbers in the Current TCM Part Number column in Table A on the next page.
- If there is a match, this reprogramming applies. Continue with the reprogramming procedure.
- If there is not a match, this bulletin does not apply.

- If you get this screen and it is blank (no reprogramming listed), it means there is no reprogramming available for this vehicle. This bulletin does not apply.
Figure 3
IMPORTANT: If C-III plus locks up or freezes at this point or displays “cannot complete reprogramming, the CONSULT PC is set up with User Rights. Reprogramming can be completed with Administrator log in”, the TOUGHBOOK settings need to be changed so that Users have full access rights. See your Dealership’s IT System Administrator for details.
- When the screen in Figure 4 displays, reprogramming is complete.
NOTE: If the screen in Figure 4 does not display (indicating that reprogramming did not complete), refer to the information on the next page.
- Disconnect the battery charger from the vehicle.
- Select Next.
Figure 4
NOTE:
- In the next step (page 9), you will perform Erase All DTCs.
- DTC erase is required before C-III plus will provide the final reprogramming confirmation report.
TCM Recovery
Do not disconnect plus VI or shut down C-III plus if reprogramming does not complete.
If reprogramming does not complete and the “!?” icon displays as shown in Figure 5:

- Turn the ignition OFF.
- Disconnect the plus VI from the vehicle.
NOTE: The Information below is provided as Service Information and is not part of the Service Procedure in this bulletin.
DTC detection drive pattern for P17F0 / P17F1
- This new diagnostic logic will monitor conditions in the CVT while the customer is operating their vehicle in their usual daily drive patterns.
- Figure 8, on the next page, illustrate conditions under which judder can be reproduced.
- Specific drive conditions that can be used to test for judder (shake, shudder, single or multiple bumps or vibration) are:
- Slowly accelerate from a stop (zero mph), applying only slight accelerator pedal (0% – 10% throttle opening) until 40 mph is reached.
- During acceleration, torque converter engagement (full lock up) can occur between 20-35 mph.
- Prior to torque converter lock up, slowly modulate accelerator pedal:
A. Decrease accelerator pedal pressure slowly, approaching a closed throttle position.
B. Smoothly and slowly reapply accelerator pedal pressure back to approximately 10% throttle opening.
IMPORTANT:
- Slight grade (climbing hill) may aid in performing the above drive conditions.
- DTC detection logic will require three events before storing a DTC.
Figure 8 below illustrates conditions under which judder can be reproduced.
