Official summary

Techline summary article - replacement tcms don t come with trim data. After installation, you need to run a teach-in (hydraulic pressure characteristic calibration) procedure with the hds. The problem is that a/t dtc p287c (transmission adaptive values not learned) is set, which prevents teach-in.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
