Do I need to add fluid to a transmission before programming with the RAP2 Kit?
Yes! Completing the full programming procedure requires us to work on the transmission. While a unit without fluid won’t adversely affect the programming itself, it will affect the set-up procedures that we need to do to finish the process.
Am I able to program modules beyond the TCM?
Yes! Our RAP Kit allows you to program modules and systems that extend beyond just Transmission Control Modules!
