ECU adapting to driving separately in C and S?
Does the ECU adapt to your driving characteristics separately for S and C? I tend to drive mostly in S thinking that quicker shifts will be easier on the tranny but I do a LOT of slow driving in the lower mainland BC. I was curious If I did commuting in C that I could switch to S and not have it all granny shifting not double clutching like it should (f&f reference, relax).

I've always wondered the same thing too tbh.
Some people say it adapts to individual modes. Some say that if you drive around in C all the time it makes S sluggish :S
So i just used to use M mode 24/7 lol

In my experience, yes it does. When I first bought my car 2 years ago, I only drove on S or M even when it was bumper to bumper traffic. All that slow driving on S mode eventually made the transmission adapt & it started to shift earlier than C mode would. Got curious so I started playing on C mode, gassing it more from stoplights. Eventually my C mode started shifting around 2k RPMs while my S mode was shifting around 1.7k or so. I have since reset my transmission
