People have posted the tranny relearn procedure here, but it is not done with the Predator.
Do a search to find the post if you need it.

Does it always do this?
Are there any codes when this happens?

One way to speed up the trans relearn is to start from a stop in D, let it upshift to 5th or 6th(depending on trans), then put it in 1st and let it downshift until you come to a full stop, repeat this 2 more times.
And dont worry it will not downshift into 1st as soon as you put it in 1st it will shift down through the gears until you reach 1st.
