For updating the Dodge Ram 1500's TCM, the owner's manual specifies certain requirements to be met. This process is necessary after transmission servicing or replacement and should be done by a dealership or authorized service center equipped with the proper tools and software. Dodge advises that the brakes should be applied, engine speed should exceed 500 rpms, throttle angle must remain under 3 degrees, shift lever should remain in park until instructed to shift to overdrive, the new overdrive position should be maintained until the relearn is finished, and oil temperature must be maintained between 60° and 200°. The typical cost for a TCM relearn ranges from $500 to $1,000 for labor and materials.
