Transmission reset proceedure

[XXX5]

Does anyone know or have a link to the definitive tranny reset procedure? I've done a search but cant seem to find one for F15's. I have read to turn on ignition, (not motor) hold gas pedal down fully for 30 seconds but it is unclear if you release then turn off ignition or turn off then release the gas pedal. I want to reset my car as its being a bit clunky lately. Thanks

has this ever proven to work?

People swear it does help unlearn the adaptive settings which are based on your driving habits. They seem to say it shifts smoother but of course it is then learning again so hard to say how long the improvement might last.

1) hit start button once to turn on power (Don't start the engine)
2) then press the accelerator down to the floor for 5 sec
3) then hit start button once to turn off power
4) then remove foot from accelerator
5) then waite for 2 minutes
4) then start the engine like normal and try it out!

5 seconds? Never seen that short of a time before, usually 25 or 30 seconds. Have you tested it yourself utilizing this proceedure?

With the gear selector you follow this procedure...

Up up down down left right left right A B A B

What? Are you kidding or serious? I asked a straightforward question this should be simple no? Just want to know the acttual proceedure that works. thanks

I recall doing this on my E60 a few times and to be perfectly honest, I wanted to believe it worked but it probably didn't. I recall the dealer resetting my transmission behavior when I complained about jerkiness of shifting at certain times.

Saw this on youtube .... Don't have any idea if it works for the F15 ..... Good luck

Hes not serious, thats a famous video game code. If you google what he typed you will find it... think its called the konami code if I remember correctly (as an old video gamer).

I would like to know the answer to this as well, actually (as I dont know... I tried the 30 second approach and that did not seem to work).

I know the reset procedure:
Drive in Sport/Sport+ only
Using 100% throttle every time you depart from stop
Drive at maximum speed possible according to road conditions
Use panic stop whenever possible
For downhill or inclement weather also downshift to ensure compression braking

Enjoy!

Sorry i was just kidding. Trying to add a little humor but i guess that failed miserably.

Kidding... I have searched for 2 hours to find an A and B in my car.

I searched for 2 hours to, no "A" and "B". All i could find was a quarter, old parking tic and a messed up gum.

So no one on here knows a verified proceedure or if it really works for a f15. Interesting

Ok so.i noticed some significan difference when holding the pedal down for 40 secs. Looks like it does work.
Do not hold brake
Push start to turn on car just once
Hold accelerator for about 40 seconds
Push start again car will shut off
Release gas pedal
Wait about 2minutes
Lock unlock the car and drive

The “hold the gas pedal down” routine did not work in zf8 trannies in the E70 (not sure if it ever worked for the 6-spd). Using ISTA+ is probably the best way to go.

This procedure worked on the F25, but I haven't tried it on my F15!

It worked on my E53s and E70. Honestly forgot about it.

[switchman]

I believe reset only applies to E53, E70 most probaly don't work so much more on f15.
