P288D — Shift Fork B Calibration Not Learned

The TCM has not learned the end-stop calibration for shift fork B. Engagement positions cannot be commanded with full precision until adaptation completes.

General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.

Affected components

  • Shift fork b
  • Shift fork actuator b
  • Tcm

Possible causes to check

These are possible checks, not a ranked diagnosis. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's test procedure before replacing parts.

  • Adaptation lost after battery disconnect or TCM reset
  • Shift fork replaced without learn procedure

Possible symptoms

  • Check engine or transmission warning light on
  • Harsh, delayed, or missing shifts
  • Possible limp mode (locked in one gear)
  • Slipping or shuddering during gear changes

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • A drive cycle may be required after repair
