Nooooooooooo!

Well, actually, yeah! I'm not sure if "adaptive learning" is the correct buzzword to use or not, but that's how it was referenced in a recent post, and you guys and gals know what I'm talking about.

My high-level question is: What all can the adaptive learning effect?

I know on A/T cars it can change shift points and, probably, even change how snappy/sporty or "lazy" the shift is, depending on the driver's habits. But what else? I have a M/T so the example above doesn't affect me, but is anything else affecting me? If so, what?

Finally, to clear the "learned behavior", you just disconnect the battery for a minute or two and then hook it back up, correct?

Thanks everyone!
Cheers!

It mainly alters fueling basically. If you heavy-foot it all the time, the mix richens up and vice-versa. That's why townies moan all the time about their rides feeling sluggish on the one time a month they get a chance to boot it, it's too lean. It massages the spark curve a little as well.

 

hehe all the more reason to drive it like you stole it more often.

 

Hate the "townies"!!! What is the opposite of a townie?

 

the more i drive it like that, the better my gas milage gets! if i baby it, i get 15.8-16, if I floor it, it climbs to 16.6 or so... i hat ethat adaptive learning crap!
