TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving M solenoids, each marked with a unique one of M identifiers, where M is an integer greater than one;
receiving M lookup tables associated with respective ones of the M identifiers, wherein each of the M lookup tables establishes a relationship between input current and output pressure for only one of the M solenoids;
assembling a transmission with a selected one of the M solenoids;
selecting one of the M lookup tables based on one of the M identifiers marked on the selected one of the M solenoids;
storing the selected one of the M lookup tables in memory of a transmission control module of a vehicle that is assembled with the transmission; and
controlling output pressure of the selected one of the M solenoids based on the selected one of the M lookup tables and the input current using the transmission control module.

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving data at a storage module indicating a unique identifier marked on a solenoid; receiving a lookup table at the storage module that is associated with the unique identifier and that establishes a relationship between input current and output pressure for the solenoid; storing the lookup table from the storage module in memory of a transmission control module of a vehicle; and controlling output pressure of the solenoid within a transmission of the vehicle based on the lookup table using the transmission control module. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
