hi

To clear the CVT long-term gear ratio adaptation:



Connect the vehicle to the GT1.
Select "Service Functions"; then "Drive" and "CVT gear".
From the second column, select "Replacement/adaptation, CVT transmission" and then "Test Plan".
Scroll through the next screens and answer "Yes" to the question "Is it necessary to delete adaptation values?"
After the CVT gear ratio adaptations are deleted, perform a complete transmission "teach-in" procedure, as follows:

Clutch adaptation:



Press and hold the brake pedal. Start the cold engine.
During a cold start warm-up phase (idle speed is slightly increased), shift from P to N for 10 seconds, and then shift to D for 10 seconds. XP will be displayed in the instrument cluster.
Repeat the following sequence 10 times: shift from P to N for 3 seconds, and then shift to D for 3 seconds. XP will be displayed in the instrument cluster.
Repeat the following sequence 10 times: shift from P to N for 3 seconds, and then shift to R for 3 seconds. XP will be displayed in the instrument cluster.
Gear ratio adaptation:



Accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 50 mph. Release the accelerator pedal and allow the vehicle to coast down to a stop. The transmission adapts itself when going through 4,500 rpm, 4,000 rpm...and 1,400 rpm engine speeds. P will be displayed now in the instrument cluster.
With the engine at the operating temperature (idle speed stabilized at 800 rpm), repeat Clutch Adaptation steps 3 and 4.
Turn the ignition off.
have fun!

Gt1 is the official diagnostics tool for BMW/Mini vehicles. Will work up to F01 vehicle where it's replaced by ISID.

i tried to do one of these today and failed. i reset adaptions followed there procedure exact but it still drives terrible(xp). i checked fault codes and although there is none in dde/tcm there is one in instruments(1) thats says; transmission management signal invalid. dont really know what to do next as im not too familiar with these vechiles. i do know that it has had the transmission rebuild very recently by a gearbox specilist and its been to the main dealer. neither could sort it. the software is the latest aswell. does anyone have any advice to offer?
