Shift flares are when the engine RPM increase while shifting… Kind of like me learning to drive standard!… The technician may find diagnostic trouble code P1260 stored in the system. Cause: A potential cause for the above conditions is a flaw in the passive anti-theft system. Correction: Follow the manufacturer’s recommended diagnostic and repair procedures which include updating the powertrain control module with the latest calibration file. NOTE — for those obtaining the DVD updates the calibration file was NOT included in version VCM 2010.9.
