Power train subsystem and method of customizinig a transmission of a motorized vehicle

摘要

A method of customizing a transmission (232) for a particular vehicular application, comprising: obtaining a partially programmed transmission control module (234) comprising standard calibration parameters (136) that configure the transmission control module (234) and the transmission (232) for a range of applications of the transmission (232), and programming the partially programmed transmission control module (234) to obtain a programmed transmission control module (234) that includes custom calibration parameters (138) that configure the transmission control module (234) and the transmission (232) for the particular vehicular application, wherein the standard calibration parameters (136) and the custom calibration parameters (138) are stored on a memory device (236) externally couplable to the transmission control module (234) so that the memory device (236) is not affixed to or otherwise integrated with the transmission control module (234), the memory device (236) being couplable to the transmission control module (234) by means of a connector (630, 710, 810) which permits the removal of the memory device (236) from the transmission (232) for programming and/or replacement.
