- Summary
- Complaint Harsh upshifts, downshifts, or jolting in lower gears when accelerating. Cause Incorrectly installed (rotated) rotational speed sensors on the EHS (VGS Control Unit) can cause abnormalities in signals. As a result, poor adaptation values are stored and harsh gearshifts are felt. This only affects vehicles with VGS control units produced between days 182-296 of 2025 (July 4, 2025-October 23, 2025). Remedy 1. Collect initial transmission EEPROM file 2. Check EEPROM .txt file for VGS control unit serial number and production date (attachment figure 1) - If the valve body is already removed, you can inspect the control unit for its stamped serial number (attachment figure 2) If the production date is or is within 25182-25296 (07/4/25-10/23/25): The complete valve body will require replacement. 1. Remove transmission oil pan & inspect fluid/pan/filter condition - compare findings to extended fluid condition examples provided in Xentry blue book under general information for VGS 2. Replace complete EHS valve body, fill to near max fluid level, & complete initial start-up - Ensure all oil guide pipes are installed in the new valve body to prevent a new concern after replacement. (See photos in WIS instructions) - Verify the new valve body production date is outside of day 182-296 of 2025 (attachment figure 2) If the production date is outside of this range: This LI is not applicable. 1. Perform IPR and follow recommended instruction
