Q: What does code P287C mean?

Transmission Adaptive Values Not Learned. P287C means the transmission control module (TCM) has not successfully completed its adaptive learning routine for clutch or shift pressure values, so it cannot fine-tune shift quality. The computer detects this when the learned adaptive memory is blank, erased, or repeatedly fails to complete the learn cycle during normal driving.
