For the first several decades of automotive history, transmissions weren’t reliant on electronics for operation. Today, that simply isn’t the case. At Jake's Auto Garage in Harper, TX, we have the knowledge and equipment necessary to take care of even the most complex transmissions, no matter what type of car, truck, or SUV you drive.
On many vehicles, any time a new transmission is installed, it must be programmed initially before use, and most vehicles that require this won’t shift at all prior to being plugged into specific software. What this means, is even with a brand-new transmission, your vehicle is still as good as useless without the right technology to program it.
New applications aren’t the only time programming is necessary, either. For many malfunctions to be corrected, and repairs to be completed, the final step is reprogramming the transmission. On some cars, if a transmission code is thrown for any reason, it must be plugged in and reprogrammed. While this may seem like an unnecessary hassle, it’s actually an excellent and innovative solution to a variety of other issues.
First of all, with the right equipment and expertise, programming a transmission is a straightforward process that isn’t particularly time-consuming. Secondly, programming or reprogramming a transmission ensures that everything is working correctly, up to specification, as it should. Finally, your transmission is a complex and intricate component, and the safeguards and programming requirements built into your system help to ensure your transmission isn’t damaged unnecessarily as a result of a malfunction.
As for how and where to reprogram or program a transmission, our technicians have you covered. No matter your repair or maintenance needs, we have exactly what you’re looking for, to keep your transmission shifting smoothly for years to come.
