mazda3ride Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 I was having hard shifting from 2-3 and from 6-5. I brought my 2015 Edge to the dealer and they said that there was a big update that needed to be done and they also cleared the adaptive tables. The vehicle now shifts smooth like butter when driving. I have noticed one thing however since the update and the clearing of the adaptive tables and that is the vehicle in now idling weird. So before I brought it into the dealer, it would idle at about 1K RPM's until the temperature was just over the C and then it would drop to about 600 RPM's. Now what it is doing is that it will stay at 1K RPM's until the temperature is almost at the halfway mark between C & H and then drop to 600 RPM's. If the RPM's remain at 1K, its shifts hard from P to D or P to R, The vehicle also feels like it wants to go once i take my foot off the brake.

No different than giving it a tiny bit of gas then shifting into gear. I should drop quickly once the engine heats up. Even at 10 F below zero my 3.5 slows down just a few minutes after is it started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 How long of a time are we talking about exactly from startup to the time it drops to 600 rpms? Generally, I do not idle my cars more than 30 seconds in warmer weather or more than 1 minute in colder weather. In colder weather, it does not even begin to come down till the very last second. I have also found that the best way to not have it "jerk" on you while it is idling high is to move the shifter very quickly into the desired gear. Works every time. The temperature tho ... could be a change due to calibration maybe? Worth bringing to the attention of the dealer. If you have more than 30K miles on the trans fluid, change it and see if the situation improves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not until the temperature is almost halfway between C&H. Whereas before, it would drop to 600 rpms just over C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
