P0949 Auto Shift Manual Adaptive Learning Not Complete

Check engine lightUsually off
EmissionsNot relevant
Drive cycleRequired
Limp modeNo

Status code for an automatically shifted manual gearbox: the control unit has not yet finished learning its adaptation values, above all the clutch touch point and the end positions of the shift actuators. Such learning runs after a new control unit, clutch or actuator, after a software update and sometimes after the battery was disconnected; Hyundai and Kia patents show how the touch point is found and corrected from shaft speed changes. No manufacturer documents this exact code publicly. The code is a reminder rather than a hardware fault; launch and shifts may be jerky until learning is done. P0950 to P0954 cover the manual control circuit, P0806 to P0808 the clutch position sensor. MIL use depends on the maker.

Likely causes

Relearn not run after clutch, actuator or control unit replacement
Adaptation values erased by software update or battery disconnection
Learning aborted by low voltage or worn clutch outside the learn window

Symptoms

  • Jerky launch or rough shifts
  • Gearbox warning or message to perform teach-in
  • Restricted gear selection until learning completes
