Step-by-step tutorial: GM DCT Hydraulic Flush Procedure using GM Scanner GDS2 software and Techline Connect SPS2 subscription.

What’s needed:

A GM MDI hardware (MDI2 clone,VNCI MDI2,VXDIAG VCX NANO GMetc)

Techline Connect SPS2 subscription

Bosch MDI2 hardware is not cheap, if you buy it from ACDelco $850-$1100.

Additionally, the GM GDS2 (Techline Connect) needed to run the hydraulic flush is subscription-based. A three-day subscription was $64. Once you purchase the subscription, you’ll receive the link for the software.

Completing the fluid flush and subsequent filter change isan easy change that requires some patience.

NOTE:
– The DCT holds ~11.7 quarts of fluid when dry. The DCT is NEVER dry—the flush forces all the fluid through the filter. Once drained, about 1.5 quarts are remaining in the DCT. So, the fill will accommodate about 10 quarts.
– Once you complete the initial fill, it’s crucial to start the car and cycle between reverse, drive, and neutral for 30-45 seconds multiple times. Turn the car off, and add more fluid (about .5-.75 quarts) until you have a slow drip coming from the fill line.

Procedure:

Let’s get into GDS2 (Techline Connect)

We’ll start by plugging in our MDI2 and getting GDS2 fired up.

Next, we’ll get logged in and connected to the car using the MDI2.

We’ll get the car read in and ready to browse for the transmission control module.

Now that we’re read in let’s navigate to the transmission control module.

Select ‘Module Diagnostics’

Go down to K71, which is the Transmission Control Module

Select Control/Reset Functions

Select Hydraulic System Flush Procedure

Get ready to start the procedure. It is not exaggerating. It will take up to 10 minutes to complete the flush procedure. You won’t begin the procedure yet, this is just an alert that it can take up to long.

There are conditions that must be met to begin the flush procedure.

1) The transmission fluid must be at least 50c (122f)
2) The car must be running (while it is not stated in the screenshot, the engine’s RPMs will fluctuate between 500-2100 RPM during the cycle, which obviously can’t happen with the vehicle off). 2022+ updates the procedure to state that the engine must be running.
3) Don’t skip leg day, you’ll need to depress the brake for the entire duration to prevent the car from rolling.

Once the conditions have been met (50c and brake pressed), you’ll be directed to shift into neutral

Once shifted into neutral, click continue to begin the hydraulic flush procedure. You’ll hear the engine RPM fluctuate between 500-2100 RPM. Throughout the procedure, you will hear several clicks from the solenoids and modules inside the transmission as the fluid is system is pressurized and fluid passes through the filter. Hang tight, it will take nearly 10 minutes.

Once done, you’ll receive a completed message.

Click Continue to exit the procedure.

Close out of GDS2 and disconnect theVNCI MDI2from the OBDII and laptop. You don’t need them until you’re done with draining and refilling.

Lift your car. Remove the rear shear shield. Remove the FILL PLUG FIRST! You can use a ratcheting wrench, which worked flawlessly. Make sure you have at least a 11 quart drain pan. Give it some time to allow the fluid to cool, after all you did just warm it to 122+ degrees. The DCT fluid is low viscosity, meaning it will drain quickly. Remove the drain plug to drain. Remove and replace the DCT external canister filter (careful, it will be messy).

Insert the new canister filter. The filter comes with o-rings for the seat of the external aluminum housing and fill plug (set aside the old fill plug o-ring you’ll use it later if you read below). Reinstall the drain plug. Take your time to replace the o-rings and get everything sealed up.

I’d suggest picking up a:

Metric M20 M20X1.5 Male to Barb Hose ID 1/2” Brass Fitting
Brass Pipe Fitting Metric M20 x 1.5 Male To 1/2″ NPT Female Adapter
1/2 Inch ID (5/8 Inch OD) PVC Clear Vinyl Tubing (4-5’ is sufficient)
Small/Medium Funnel
Plumbers/Teflon tape

Put it all together and it’ll look something like this:

Install the fitting using the old o-ring from the fill plug. Now pass the vinyl tube through one of the top spokes on the wheel and press it onto the fitting.

Now fill the transmission. You’ll easily fill 9 quarts with no issue. Stop periodically to ensure the hose is still attached to the fitting, which is would be if you tug too hard on it. Once you’ve finished 9 quarts, you’ll need to slow down because the transmission will fill before you see it backing up in the tube. Pour slowly and check the tube to see if it’s backing up. If you don’t hear gurgling from the tube, you’re reaching the full point and your tube is likely backing up — get ready to clean the mess.

Once you have it filled, remove the fitting and vinyl tube, install the fill plug, and start the car. Cycle through drive, reverse, and neutral waiting 30-45 seconds each. Stop the car, remove the fill plug and top off (using your DCT fill contraption). Once you have a very slow leak from the fill plug, you’re done. Replace the fill plug and remove the tubing.

Start the car so the fluid can warm and check for leaks.

Put away the tools that you don’t need again, e.g., your fluid contraption, empty bottles, fluid containers, ratcheting wrenches, etc.

Get into the car and load back into GDS2 (Techline Connect). Follow the aforementioned steps to get back into the K71 Transmission Control Module menu and select Control/Reset Functions.

This time we went to select Hydraulic System Leak Test

This will take you 30 seconds and we’ll click continue

You need to be at least 50c (122f) and depress the brake, then hit continue

You’ll be prompted to shift into neutral and hit continue

Allow the procedure to run

You’ll receive a prompt when finished

Click continue to exit the procedure

If you have a 2023+, use GDS2 (Techline Connect) to navigate to the menu option to reset the DCT external canister and fluid service interval. For 2020-2022, you can reset the DCT fluid service reminder from inside the car.

Close out of GDS2 (Techline Connect) and disconnect theMDI2from the OBDII and laptop. You’re done.

Reset Flex Fuel Alcohol/Ethanol Percentage Level with Dealer, Toyota Techstream software or a cheap Bidirectional OBD2 Scan Tool (Autel, Launch, Xtool etc)?

Here is the user working experience:

"I have a 2013 5.7 Flex Fuel Crewmax (67,500 miles). I searched for a solution and found the TSB to fix it. Went to the dealer to have them fix per the TSB, but they wanted $1200 and the fuel pump is on long back order. This past winter, I started having the hard starting problems due to the high alcohol percentage level issue (the motor incorrectly thinks I’m running E85 ethanol gas but I never have, which causes extended starter motor cranking, an overly rich stumble, and strong fuel smells when it does start). I also had reduced gas mileage overall.

I’ve also read that some Flex Fuel owners who have had the dealer fix per this TSB have had the same problem return down the road. I needed a solution now and read that resetting the Alcohol Fuel Density level to zero will be a temporary fix (and some report it’s a longer-term fix). It seems that some have purchased a Techstream cable with what appears to be unlicensed software and tried to reset their Alcohol level using that tool (some with success and others report many headaches/problems with getting that software to work properly – much posts about it). Not wanting to spend my precious time trying to get that Techstream software to work, and instead of purchasing a 2 day license from Toyota Techstream (the real version), I decided to find a reasonably priced (to me) bidirectional scan tool that would reset my truck’s Alcohol Fuel Density level.

Scan tool was less expensive than a trip to the dealer. I searched and searched, and the only tool I found that said it could do this that wasn’t big bucks was theLaunch CRP919E(or many prefer theCRP919E BTBluetooth version).

I purchased the Launch CRP919E obd2 scanner ($389 free shipping). Once I received the tool, proceeded to run the updates and that took around 30 minutes.

Took my scan tool out to my truck and started my truck and plugged the scan tool in. You need to do that to get the Special Functions updates you need for Toyota and then checked my Alcohol Fuel Density Level which read 85%. I was able toboth read my alcohol percentage level (which was at 85%) and also reset that alcohol percentage level back to zero.

I have always had cheap scan tools, that could read codes and clear codes, but, for the money, this tool is very powerful. I will spend a great deal of time learning how to use the live data, and use all the special functions.

Seeing it was crazy high and the likely culprit for my problems, I then went intoDiagnostic > Automatically Search >System Sclection > Selcet "ECMECT(Engine and ECT)” System > Special Functions > Fuel Density Learning Value Reset(that will reset your alcohol level to zero – it takes like 3 seconds). My truck now starts right up no problems whatsoever, I get better gas mileage, and it runs smoother (it’s noticeably better). I’ve rechecked my alcohol percentage level since that reset and it remains at zero for now.

When the fuel alcohol percentage is reset ("Fuel Density Learning Value Reset” in the scan tool), that also resets the fuel trims.

If I ever have the problem return (I realize it may), I’ll just pull out the scan tool and reset the alcohol level (it takes about 2 minutes once you figure out how to find the function in the tool). Anyway, wanted to let you know in case you ever have this problem and you want to get a tool to fix it yourself (and also have a scanner in your garage that can do many other things (e.g., for my wife’s BMW (reset this and that)).”

Autel and Xtool bi-directional scanners also reset alcohol fuel density.

Autel’s advanced scannersUltra, MS909,MS908CVetc, go to Special Function->Fuel Density Learning Value Reset

Some users also used theXTOOL D7andD8etc scanners to reset alcohol levels on Tundra. They did add that to the latest firmware.

D7S also did it with no problem. Performed the "Fuel Density Learning Value Reset” using the D7S scan tool just now and truck started up great on cold start. Fuel trim values were reset also. The long term fuel trim was -23. After the reset it’s 0.

Hope this helps.

Free hand key added on 2016 Citroen C4

Id46 key.
Blade VA2
Frequency: 433 MHz
PIN code recovery without any problem.

Attention, on this model, when adding the second key, the free hand and centralization function does not work on this second key.
Now you can fix this problem you need to program a 3rd key (Xhorse freehand) as a bug.
From here on, the first 2 keys will work properly (freehand and remote centralizing) and only the 3 keys will not work freehand.
For your information, this problem is the same as using theAutel Im608. (same issue).

I only had this problem with Citroen C4 and C4 Picasso freehand.

Read pin and add key withOBDSTAR X300 DP Plus.

GenerateXhorse PSA keyunder this option first.
