After installation, you need to run a teach-in (hydraulic pressure characteristic calibration) procedure with the HDS. The problem is that A/T DTC P287C (transmission adaptive values not learned) is set, which prevents teach-in. This happens because the TCM is programmed to look for trim data any time the ignition is cycled. If the TCM doesn’t see that trim data, it sets A/T DTC P287C. If any DTCs are set, the TCM won’t initiate teach-in and, as a result, can’t learn the trim data. It’s a classic catch-22 situation.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10193296-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10193296-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10193296","components":[{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null},{"id":"automatic-transmission","name":"Automatic transmission","parent":"powertrain"},{"id":"transmission-control-module","name":"Transmission control module","parent":"powertrain"}],"codes":["P287C"],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"ACURA","model":"MDX","year_from":2016,"year_to":2016,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2016_acura_mdx"]},{"make":"ACURA","model":"TLX","year_from":2015,"year_to":2016,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2015_acura_tlx","2016_acura_tlx"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
