GENERAL DESCRIPTION
12. TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM)
The electronic control of the transmission is performed by a microcomputer. The microcomputer is an independent controller and is referred to as a Transmission Control Module (TCM). TCMs are available in both 12V and 24V congurations to match the conguration of the vehicle electrical system. The TCM (refer to Figure 13) receives and processes signals from various switches and sensors. The TCM determines shift sequences, shift timing, and clutch apply and release pressures. The TCM uses the information to control transmission solenoids and valves, supply system status, and provide diagnostic information.

SHIFT SELECTOR
The vehicle is equipped with a lever-type shift selector (refer to Figure 14). In addition to the lever assembly provided for the operator, other components associated with the shift selector are the manual selector valve in the main control valve body and an Internal Mode Switch (IMS) mounted on the selector shaft inside the transmission oil pan. Shift selector components (with the exception of the transmission selector shaft) are customer-supplied. A. Shift Selector Range Positions The operator chooses the transmission range by moving the selector lever to the appropriate gate position (refer to Figure 14). When properly adjusted, the shifter gates prevent inadvertent shifting between ranges and correspond to the internal transmission detent positions. A positive detent is provided in the transmission to maintain the selector shaft in the selected position.

Figure 14. Typical Lever-Type Shift Selector
The TCM shift calibration determines the available forward ranges for each selector position. Although specic installations vary, typical selector positions for the 1000 and 2000 Product Families are: PPark. Parking pawl or parking brake is engaged, if available. This position is not available on all shift selectors. RReverse. NNeutral. May be used when starting the engine and for stationary operations. ODOverdrive. The highest forward range used for normal driving. The transmission shifts to rst range for starting, then automatically upshifts through the ranges (as operating conditions permit) until the highest range is attained. D, 2, 1Forward Range. The transmission shifts to rst range for starting. The range selected on the shift selector is the highest range which will be attained during automatic shifting (on GM truck applications, a position M is used for Tap Up/Tap Down functionality). B. Manual Selector Valve The manual shift selector shaft is attached to the manual selector valve within the transmission main control valve body. The selector valve has three positions: reverse, neutral, and forward. NOTE: For transmissions equipped with a P (Park) position, the selector valve remains in the neutral position when the selector is moved to P (Park). The neutral and reverse selector valve positions (refer to Appendix HHydraulic Schematics) exhaust the C1 and C2 rotating clutches. By exhausting C1 and C2 clutches, forward range is inhibited. This provides the capability for the operator to override the electronically commanded ranges if neutral is required.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
C. Internal Mode Switch (IMS) An internally-mounted switch, commonly called an Internal Mode Switch or IMS (refer to Figure 15), mounts inside the transmission oil pan at the shift selector shaft. The IMS detects the angular position of the shift selector shaft. This position is communicated to the TCM so that certain vehicle control functions can be coordinated with the position of the shift controls. The neutral signal output of the IMS is typically used as conrmation that the transmission is in neutral before the engine starter is engaged.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) can be mounted to the engine, chassis, or transmission. The TPS (refer to Figure 16) contains a pull actuation cable and a potentiometer. One end of the cable is attached to the engine fuel lever and the other, inside a protective housing, to the TPS potentiometer. Output voltage from the TPS is directed to the TCM through the external harness. The voltage signal indicates the throttle position and, in combination with other input data, determines shift timing.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
15. SPEED SENSORS
There are three speed sensors available for use with 1000 and 2000 Product Families transmissions: the input (engine) speed sensor, the turbine speed sensor, and the output speed sensor (refer to Figure 17). The speed sensors provide rpm information to the TCM. The speed ratios between the various sensors allow the TCM to determine the transmission operating range. Speed sensor information is also used to control the timing of clutch apply pressures, resulting in the best possible shift quality.
V04736
Figure 17. Typical Speed Sensor
The speed sensors are variable reluctance devices which convert mechanical motion to an AC voltage. Each sensor consists of a wire coil wrapped around a pole piece that is adjacent to a permanent magnet. These elements are contained in a housing which is mounted adjacent to a rotating ferrous member (such as a gear tooth). Two signal wires extend from one end of the housing and an exposed end of the pole piece is at the opposite end of the housing. The permanent magnet produces lines of ux around the pole piece. As a ferrous object (such as a gear tooth) approaches and passes through the gap at the end of the pole piece, an AC voltage pulse is induced in the wire coil. The TCM calculates the frequency of these AC pulses and converts it to a speed value. The AC voltage generated varies from 150mV at low speed to 15V at high speed. The signal wires from the sensor are formed as twisted pairs to cancel magnetically induced elds. The cable is also shielded to protect from voltage-related elds. Noise from other sources is eliminated by using two-wire differential inputs at the TCM. NOTE: Do not rotate the speed sensor in the retaining bracket. Orientation is xed, and if changed, may cause improper operation. A. Input (Engine) Speed Sensor The input speed sensor is externally mounted in the torque converter housing directed at the ribs protruding from the torque converter. The input speed sensor connector should be positioned at approximately four oclock, as viewed from the left side of the transmission (refer to Figure 18). B. Turbine Speed Sensor The turbine speed sensor is externally mounted in the main housing directed at the tone wheel or PTO drive gear attached to the rotating clutch module. The turbine speed sensor connector should be positioned at approximately three oclock, as viewed from the left side of the transmission (refer to Figure 18).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
C. Output Speed Sensor The output speed sensor is externally mounted in the rear cover and directed at the teeth of a tone wheel splined to and rotating with the output shaft. The output speed sensor connector should be positioned at approximately ve oclock, as viewed from the left side of the transmission (refer to Figure 18).
ENGINE SPEED SENSOR CONNECTOR ORIENTATION = 4 o'clock
TURBINE SPEED SENSOR CONNECTOR ORIENTATION = 3 o'clock
OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR CONNECTOR ORIENTATION = 5 o'clock

CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY
The hydraulic control valve assembly (Figure 19) governs uid ow to the clutches (including the torque converter clutch). Solenoids, actuated by the TCM, control valve movement. The control valve assembly consists of two components, the main valve body and the control valve body. The main valve body contains the pressure control valves (PCV), the TCC valve, the exhaust backll valve, and the control main relief valve. The shift valve body contains the shift valves, the control main pressure valve, and the manual selector valve. The control valve assembly attaches to the bottom of the gearbox module and is enclosed by the oil pan. An internal wiring harness connects the solenoids and Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) to the main transmission connector and external wiring harness.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A. Main Modulation Main pressure is reduced by utilizing an on/off Main Mod solenoid that is located in the control valve body assembly. The Main Mod solenoid body is bolted to the main valve body. Main pressure will be reduced under various conditions such as low throttle, low torque, low engine speeds, and low output speeds. The primary benet of modulating main pressure is to increase cooler ow at low engine speeds.

SECTION 2DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

21. CHECK TRANS LIGHT
The electronic control system is programmed to inform the operator of a problem with the transmission system and automatically take action to protect the operator, vehicle, and transmission. To do this, the TCM turns on the CHECK TRANS light on the instrument panel, which noties the operator that a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) has been stored. Each time the engine is started, the TCM will illuminate the CHECK TRANS light, then turn it off after a few seconds. This is a circuit check to verify that the lamp and wiring are in proper working order. Illumination of the CHECK TRANS light at any time after start-up indicates that the TCM has set a DTC. Allison DOC For PC Service Tool is used to verify that the TCM has set a DTC (refer to Section 22). While the CHECK TRANS light is on, upshifts and downshifts may be restricted and direction changes (DR, RD) may not occur. The torque converter clutch is inhibited when transmission shifting is restricted or during any critical transmission malfunction. The 1000 and 2000 Product Families transmissions DTCs are latching DTCs. When a failure condition is detected, the DTC set by the TCM remains active for the entire time the ignition is on. When the ignition is turned off and then on again, the transmission DTCs will reset and the TCM will recheck for the failure condition. If the failure condition is not present, the previously set DTC will remain in history; the CHECK TRANS light will turn off after the circuit check, and the transmission will function normally unless another failure occurs. This feature allows the vehicle to be driven to a service outlet.
22.
RANGE INHIBIT RESPONSES
The range inhibit feature is a function of the TCM logic. The TCM senses when certain input variables are exceeded and takes action to prevent transmission damage. The TCM inhibits neutral-to-range shifts and illuminates a light on the dash when the inhibit is active. Listed below are three variables that, when exceeded, cause inhibited shifts (with thresholds listed).
Engine speed above 1000 rpm Throttle setting above 40 percent Output speed above 225 rpm
There are two levels of the special logic inhibits.

Self-clearing inhibitThis inhibit clears itself if one of the above conditions is not present after a
calibrated time. This is three seconds in the case of medium-duty vehicles. If the shift inhibit is active, but not latched, the bulb will stay lit until self-cleared.
Latching inhibit This inhibit latches when one of the conditions listed above is still present after a
calibrated time. This is above three seconds for medium duty vehicles. To clear a latching inhibit, move the selector into any other position than the one originally selected.
23.
ALLISON DOC FOR PCSERVICE TOOL INHIBITS
If an inhibit has occurred since the last DTC was cleared, the inhibit state will indicate ON and will stay ON until the next manual DTC clear with Allison DOC For PCService Tool. These latched inhibits do not turn OFF after a specied number ignition cycles.
DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

The range inhibit light will illuminate and/or an inhibited state will be shown on Allison DOC For PCService Tool when the transmission is inhibited to Neutral for the following reasons:
Low Main Pressure
If the transmission pressure switches do not indicate transmission pressurized at start-up, shifts-to-range may be inhibited and the range inhibit light will illuminate. Allison DOC For PCService Tool will indicate an active inhibit. Common causes are transmission low on uid, transmission lter has just been changed, or pan has been removed and uid recently drained. May produce DTC P0701.
Transfer Case Neutral
If the transfer case is shifted into neutral while the transmission is in drive or reverse at a speed above idle, the transmission will continue to command range until the output speed is reduced to a point where neutral range is commanded. The range inhibit light will illuminate and Allison DOC For PCService Tool will indicate an active inhibit.
Diagnostic Active
This indicates that an active diagnostic code was set and the driver attempted a range selection that was inhibited. In some failure modes, reverse cannot and will not be commanded. If reverse is selected during these failure modes a range inhibit light will illuminate in reverse. During diagnostic responses, Neutral-to-Range Inhibits and Direction Change Inhibits continue to operate, but they may latch under certain conditions. In these cases, shutting down ignition and waiting for at least 5 seconds before restarting will clear the inhibit condition. Allison DOC For PCService Tool will indicate an active inhibit.
Auto Neutral for PTO
Neutral-to-Drive and Neutral-to-Reverse shifts will be inhibited to neutral and Allison DOC For PCService Tool will show an inhibited state when TCM detects that auto neutral function input is active.
Reverse Enable
Neutral-to-Reverse shifts will be inhibited to neutral and Allison DOC For PCService Tool will show an inhibited state when no input is detected from dash or oor mounted reverse enable switch when selecting reverse range. Allison DOC For PCService Tool will indicate an active inhibit. This function is only used in European transit and tour buses applications.
Refuse Packer Step Switch
Transmission operation is limited to only 1st range. Neutral-to-reverse shifts will be inhibited to neutral and Allison DOC For PCService Tool will show an inhibited state when input is detected from a step switch indicating that personnel is present on rear step platform.
Auxiliary Function Range Inhibit
Neutral-to-Drive and Neutral-to-Reverse shifts will be inhibited to neutral and Allison DOC For PCService Tool will show an inhibited state when input is detected from an auxiliary switch or device. This inhibit will remain active until the auxiliary switch input is shut off and range is reselected.

PTO Neutral Lockup
Allison DOC For PCService Tool will show an inhibited state when Neutral Lockup is active and range shifts are being inhibited to neutral. When the selector is moved, lockup is released and the inhibit clears.
Engine Speed
Neutral-to-Drive and Neutral-to-Reverse shifts will be inhibited to neutral and the range inhibit light will illuminate if the Engine Speed is greater than a calibrated value (1400 rpm for medium duty non-emergency vehicles). Allison DOC For PCService Tool will indicate an active inhibit.
Output Speed
Reverse-to-Drive, Drive-to-Reverse, and Neutral-to-Reverse shifts initiated above 300 rpm of output speed will be inhibited to neutral and the range inhibit light will illuminate. Allison DOC For PC Service Tool will indicate an active inhibit.
Throttle
Reverse-to-Drive, Drive-to-Reverse, Neutral-to-Drive, and Neutral-to-Reverse shifts where throttle position is greater then 25 percent will be inhibited to neutral and the range inhibit light will illuminate. Allison DOC For PCService Tool will indicate an active inhibit.
IMS Function or Alignment
Reverse-to-Drive, Drive-to-Reverse, Neutral-to-Drive, and Neutral-to-Reverse shifts will be inhibited to neutral and the range inhibit light will illuminate when an IMS failure or misalignment is detected. A common cause would be an error in the four-bit IMS input signal that is sent to the TCM. Allison DOC For PCService Tool will indicate an active inhibit.
IMS PS4 Disagree
Reverse-to-Drive, Drive-to-Reverse, Neutral-to-Drive, and Neutral-to-Reverse shifts will be inhibited to neutral and the range inhibit light will illuminate when the Pressure Switch 4 (PS4) status is in the incorrect state when compared to the IMS state. Allison DOC For PCService Tool will indicate an active inhibit. This inhibit may be caused by a defective IMS, PSM, or valve body concerns.
MSV Mis-Alignment/Unable to detect ratio after shift to range
If the range verication test fails to detect turbine speed pull-down or valid gear ratio when the Manual Selector Valve (MSV) shifts to either forward or reverse range from neutral, the transmission will shift back to a neutral condition and the range inhibit light will illuminate. Conditions that may cause this include: Attempts to shift the transmission from Neutral-to-Drive or Neutral-to-Reverse with the transfer case in neutral; transmission low on uid; misadjustment in the IMS or Selector Linkage; turbine or output speed sensor failure that may prevent the pull down test/ratio test from passing; solenoid A or B hydraulically failures; and possibly failed range clutch (C1 or C5 for 1st, C3 or C5 for Reverse). Allison DOC For PCService Tool will indicate an active inhibit response.
Wheel Spin or Lock
When the TCM detects that wheel lock or spin is occurring, the TCC is disengaged and a lock-to-range response is commanded for 6 seconds. Allison DOC For PCService Tool will indicate an active inhibit response.

24. ALLISON DOC FOR PCSERVICE TOOL
Allison DOC For PCService Tool v5.0.0 (or later) is available through Kent-Moore Heavy-Duty Division.

SECTION 3BASIC KNOWLEDGE

31. BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
To service 1000 and 2000 Product Families Allison 4th Generation Controls, the technician must understand basic electrical concepts. Technicians need to know how to use a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) to make resistance and continuity checks. Most troubleshooting checks consist of checking resistance and continuity, and checking for shorts between wires and to ground. The technician should be able to use jumper wires and breakout harnesses and connectors. Technicians unsure of making the required checks should ask questions of experienced personnel or nd instruction. The technician should also have the mechanical aptitude required to connect pressure gauges or transducers to identied pressure ports used in the troubleshooting process. Pressure tap locations and pressure values are shown in Appendix BMain Pressure Check Procedure. Input power, ground, neutral start circuitry, etc., can cause problems with electronic controls or vehicle functioning and may not generate a DTC. A working knowledge of 1000 and 2000 Product Families Allison 4th Generation Controls vehicle installation is necessary in troubleshooting installation-related problems. Refer to Section 7 for information concerning performance complaints (non-DTC) troubleshooting. A complete wiring schematic is shown in Appendix J. Refer to the 1000 and 2000 Product Family Tech Data for information concerning electronic controls installation and the Installation Checklist. Reliable transmission operation and performance depend upon a correctly installed transmission. For proper installation, review the Installation Checklist in the 1000 and 2000 Product Family Tech Data, available on the extranet under Engineering at www.allisontransmission.com.
32.
USING THE TROUBLESHOOTING MANUAL
Use this manual as an aid to troubleshooting the 1000 and 2000 Product Families Allison 4th Generation Controls. Every possible problem and its solution cannot be encompassed by any manual. However, this manual does provide a starting point from which most problems can be resolved. Once a problem solution is discovered in the manual do not look further for other solutions. It is necessary to determine why a problem occurred. The root cause of a problem as well as the symptom must be corrected to ensure trouble free operation. For example, taping a wire that has been rubbing on a frame rail will not correct the problem unless the rubbing contact is eliminated.
33.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1000 and 2000 Product Families Allison 4th Generation Control functions are controlled by the TCM. The TCM reads shift selector range selection, output speed, and throttle position to determine when to command a shift. When a shift occurs, the TCM monitors turbine speed, output speed, and throttle position to control the oncoming and off-going clutches during the shift. When the TCM detects an electrical fault, it logs a DTC indicating the faulty circuit and may alter the transmission operation to prevent or reduce damage. When the TCM detects a non-electrical problem while trying to make a shift, the TCM may try that shift a second or third time before setting a DTC. Once that shift has been retried, and a fault is still detected, the TCM sets a DTC and holds the transmission in a fail-to-range mode of operation.
31
BASIC KNOWLEDGE
The 1000 and 2000 Product Families transmission utilizes clutch to clutch shift control to achieve range changes. In every case (except shifts to or from neutral), one clutch is exhausted and another applied to make a range shift. The handoff between exhausting and applying clutches is very precisely controlled by use of two Variable-Bleed Solenoids (VBS), commonly known as Pressure Proportional to Current (PPC) solenoids. These solenoids are labelled PCS1 and PCS2 in the transmission, and are referred to as pressure control solenoids. For example, to make a 12 shift, PCS1 is used to trim pressure off C5 clutch, and PCS2 is used to trim pressure on C4 clutch. The TCM (transmission control module) modulates the current to both PCS1 and PCS2, which translates to a proportional level of pressure to the clutch. In order to make a shift, the TCM uses software and calibration settings of several program parameters to determine the level of current sent to the respective pressure control solenoids. These parameters are referred to as adaptive values. With a new transmission and TCM calibration, the adaptive values are set to base calibration level. The transmission uses the base calibration to perform the rst of each type of shift. However, once it has performed a shift, the TCM evaluates the actual shift and compares it to an ideal shift in the TCMs memory. Based on that comparison, the TCM changes the settings of the adaptive values to a level that it believes will result in a shift closer to the ideal shift the next time it makes that type of shift. This is referred to as adaptive shifting. When the transmission/TCM calibration is new, the TCM is in fast adaptive mode. In other words, the TCM is allowed to make relatively large changes in the adaptive values after each shift. Once the TCM determines that a given shift is close to its ideal level it switches to slow adaptive mode. In slow adaptive the TCM still is evaluating shifts and changing adaptive values, but is only allowed to do so in smaller increments. The TCM is programmed to try to switch from fast to slow adaptive mode within approximately ve shifts. It is important to understand that there are many different distinct shifts recognized by the TCM, and each of these shifts has its own adaptive values. For example, there are upshift and downshifts to and from each range, as well as unique adaptive values for several different throttle regions for each upshift and downshift. The point is, it may take a signicant amount of time before most of the shifts converge from fast to slow adaptive, and thus it is not unusual to experience somewhat harsh or unpleasant shift quality until these shifts are adapted. TCC engagement is accomplished by a separate PPC (pressure proportional to current) TCC solenoid. There are adaptive values for this as well, and thus it will also require some driving for TCC engagement to adapt.
34.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN THE TROUBLESHOOTING PROCESS
Before beginning the troubleshooting process, read and understand the following:

Allison recommended wire numbers (i.e. 112) are a combination of the rst digit indicating the TCM 80-way connector number and the last two digits indicating the pin-out information (i.e. 12). Shut off the engine and ignition before any harness connectors are disconnected or connected. Remember to do the following when checking for shorts and opens: Minimize movement of wiring harnesses when looking for shorts. Shorts involve wire-to-wire or wire-toground contacts and moving the harnesses may eliminate the problem. Wiggle connectors, harnesses, and splices when looking for opens. This simulates vehicle movements which occur during actual operation. When disconnecting a harness connector, be sure that pulling force is applied to the connector itself and not the wires extending from the connector. Resistance checks involving the wiring between the TCM connectors and other components adds about one Ohm of resistance to the component resistance shown.
32
BASIC KNOWLEDGE

Inspect all connector terminals for damage. Terminals may have bent or lost the necessary tension to maintain rm contact. Clean dirty terminals or connectors with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab, or a good quality, non-residue, non-lubricating, cleaning solvent such as LPS Electro Contact Cleaner or LPS NoFlash Electro Contact Cleaner.
CAUTION:
The cleaning solvent must not be chlorine based, contain petroleum distillates, or conduct electricity. The cleaning solvent should evaporate quickly to prevent the possibility of condensation within the connectors. Always blow or shake any excess cleaner from the connector before assembling it to its mating connector or hardware. Cleaner trapped in the connector can affect the connector seal. (Refer to SIL 17-TR-94 for detailed information on the recommended cleaners.)
CAUTION:
Care should be taken when welding on a vehicle equipped with electronic controls. Refer to Appendix G.
DTCs displayed after system power is turned on while a harness connector is disconnected can be ignored and cleared from memory. Refer to Section 5, DTCs, for the DTC clearing procedure.
35.
BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION

1. Begin troubleshooting by checking the transmission uid level and ignition voltage. Remember that some problems may be temperature related. Do troubleshooting, including the uid level and ignition voltage checks, at the temperature level where the problem occurs.
NOTE: Fluid level and igniton voltage MUST be checked before any troubleshooting is performed. NOTE: If you are experiencing harsh shifts, it is important to use Allison DOC For PCService Tool to verify whether that particular shift is adapted. If it is not, the TCM is still learning how to adapt that shift and simply needs to be driven further while performing more of that particular type of shift. If a particular shift is in slow adapt but still objectionable, its good troubleshooting practice to reset the adaptive values for that shift back to base cal level. This will automatically reset the TCM to fast adaptive mode. The vehicle should then be driven to allow the TCM to re-learn the shift. Many times this will correct the problem. It is possible to reset individual shifts without affecting the other shifts.
CAUTION:
Whenever a transmission is overhauled, exchanged, or has undergone repairs, the Transmission Control Module (TCM) must be RESET TO UNADAPTED SHIFTS. This will cause the TCM to erase previous adaptive information and begin to adapt in Fast Adaptive Mode from the base calibration. Failure to follow this procedure may cause premature failure of the overhauled, repaired, or replaced transmission.
BASIC KNOWLEDGE
2. If a transmission has been overhauled, exchanged, or repaired, use Allison DOC For PCService Tool to RESET ADAPTIVE SHIFT PARAMETERS. To reset Adaptive Shift Parameters:
Select the Action Request drop-down menu. Click on the Reset Adaptive Shift Parameters menu itemthe Reset Adaptive Parameters window
displays.
The Reset Adaptive Shift Parameters window contains 10 tabs; one for each upshift and downshift
region, garage shifts and a reset tab for All regions.

To reset all adaptive shift parameters, select the ALL tab. The adaptive shift parameters are reset when you click on the RESET ADAPTIVE SHIFT
PARAMETERS buttonthe Reset Adaptive Shift Parameters Successful window displays. Click the OK button. 3. For proper operation of Allison DOC For PCService Tool v5.0.0 or later, check the following:
The desktop or laptop computer must meet the minimum system requirements (see Allison DOC

When a problem exists but a DTC is not indicated, refer to the General Troubleshooting Section (Section 7) for a listing of various electrical and hydraulic problems, their causes, and remedies. 6. If a DTC is found in the TCM memory, save all available DTC and failure record information before clearing the active indicator (refer to Section 5). 7. When certain DTCs are active, a range selection into reverse or forward may not be possible. To determine if a failure is electrical or hydraulic, perform the following limp home test. Never remove electronic control connectors while the engine is running. Always turn off the ignition, set parking brakes and chock the wheels. Failure to follow this procedure may result in unexpected vehicle movement.
WARNING!
Limp Home Test With the ignition in the OFF position (engine not running), the selector in N (Neutral), and the parking brake set, remove the 80-way connector at the TCM. It will be necessary to provide battery power at pin 41 of the 80-way connector in order to energize the neutral start relay. This can be accomplished by using a jumper wire between pin 10 and 41 at the 80-way connector. When the engine is restarted, the transmission will default to a limp home capability. In this state, PCS1 (de-energized) allows C3 clutch to be applied. If the selector valve is moved to the reverse range position, main pressure will be routed to C5 clutch, allowing reverse operation. If the selector valve is moved to the drive range position, main pressure will be routed to C1 clutch, allowing third range operation. This allows a technician to use limp home capability to determine if a hydraulic or an electrical problem exists. If reverse and third ranges are available in limp home, an electrical failure may be indicated. If only one of the two ranges or neither was obtainable, this may indicate an internal hydraulic failure (failed clutch, stuck valve, or solenoid failure). The clutches that could possibly have an indicated failure in limp home are C1, C3, and C5.

BASIC KNOWLEDGE
NOTE: Removing the 80-way connector may induce several DTCs. Make sure all codes are cleared before proceeding with further troubleshooting. 8. Test drive the vehicle to conrm a DTC or performance complaint.
If the DTC reappears, refer to the DTC section (refer to Section 5) and the appropriate DTC table.
The DTC section lists diagnostic codes and their description. Locate the appropriate troubleshooting table and follow the instructions.
If the DTC does not reappear and the test has passed, it may be an intermittent problem. Use
Allison DOC For PCService Tool and the DTC (refer to Section 5). The DTC display procedure will identify possible causes of the problem.
Appendix A deals with the identication of potential circuit problems. Refer to Appendix A if a
circuit problem is suspected. NOTE: Information concerning specic items is contained in the appendices located in the back of this manual. The appendices are referred to throughout the manual.
36.
TCM DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Using Allison DOC For PCService Tool, verify the current calibration information number (CIN)
and record or print a report of the current customer modiable constants (CMC) information for later reference. Remove the 80-way connector from the suspect TCM; inspect the 80-way connector for damaged or bent pins. Replace TCM with a new or known good TCM from a similar vehicle. If the replacement TCM corrects the original complaint, reinstall the original TCM to verify the complaint returns. If original complaint is conrmed, reinstall a new TCM. If the complaint does not return, leave the original TCM installed. Clear any DTCs that may be present and test drive the vehicle to conrm the repair.
NOTE: All 1000 and 2000 Product Families TCMs are designed to be isolated from the vehicle chassis ground. Be sure that the TCM case is not contacting the vehicle frame or any other point that might provide a ground connection.
37.
RESETTING OF TCM PARAMETERS TO SUPPORT ENGINE UPDATE

Shift Energy Management (SEM) Autoselect feature may be used on certain transmissions. Autoselect is deactivated following the rst 20 engine starts where engine and transmission communication are present. If during the rst 20 engine starts the TCM recognizes an engine to be on its list of certied engines, it will lock to the SEM active state. If the engine is not supported, the TCM will lock to a non-SEM state.
NOTE: Most engine upgrades are same type/rating; under normal circumstances there should be no reason to reset the TCM Autoselect. However, there may be a small chance that transmission performance, shift quality, or codes may result from the use of different engine models within the same engine family or when a recalibration of engine software has taken place. If a vehicle receives upgraded engine hardware or software it may become necessary to reactivate the Autoselect feature to redetect the engines current SEM status. NOTE: Once TCM Autoselect locks, the only way to reactivate is to perform a reset procedure (refer to paragraph 38).
BASIC KNOWLEDGE
38. RESETTING TCM SEM AUTOSELECT
Verify a new engine rating by checking the engine data tag. The engine must be compatible with the transmission rating. If the engine rating is not compatible, the vehicle must be returned to the OEM for engine recalibration. If the rating is correct for the transmission, perform the following steps. Allison DOC For PCService Tool is used to reset Autoselect function.
Click on the action requested button. On the drop down select Reset SEM Autoselect.
The TCM is now reset to Autoselect and will start looking for supporting engine software. Drive the vehicle; conrm DTCs have not returned. NOTE: Transmission shifts will now be in the unadaptive (base) state, so it will be necessary to drive the vehicle to allow shifts to adapt.

SECTION 4WIRE CHECK PROCEDURES

41. CHECKING OPENS, SHORTS BETWEEN WIRES, AND SHORTS-TO-GROUND (Use Digital Volt/Ohmmeter J 34520-A and Jumper Wire Set J 39197-A)
1. Make sure all connectors are tightly connected and re-check the circuit. 2. Disconnect and inspect all connectors. 3. Thoroughly clean corroded or dirty terminals. If dirty or corroded terminals are the probable cause of the problems, reconnect the clean connectors and operate the vehicle normally. If the problem recurs, proceed with Step (4). The cleaning solvent must not be chlorine based, contain petroleum distillates, or conduct electricity. The cleaning solvent should evaporate quickly to prevent the possibility of condensation within the connectors. Always blow or shake any excess cleaner from the connector before assembling it to its mating connector or hardware. Cleaner trapped in the connector can affect the connector seal. (Refer to SIL 17-TR-94 for detailed information on the recommended cleaners.)
NOTE: Please refer to Paragraph 35 to begin the troubleshooting process.
CAUTION:
4. Review the wire numbering system described in Paragraph 34. 5. If all connectors are clean and properly seated, determine which wires in the chassis harness are indicated by the DTC. For example, DTC P2727P2729, indicates an open or a short-to-ground in the PCS1 circuitwires 111 and 155. a. Check continuity of wires 111 and 155 by performing the following (refer to Figure 41): (1) Disconnect the 80-way connector from the TCM and disconnect the harness from the transmission main connector. At one end of the harness, using jumper wire kit J 39197-A and the body connector probes in J 39775-CP, connect pin 14 and 15 to each other, being careful not to distort the terminals. Jumping the wires together creates a circuit between wires 111 and 155. NOTE: Jumper wire kit J 39197-A adds a female probe J 47277.

WIRE CHECK PROCEDURES

Do not insert test probes larger than 0.81 mm into the TCM 80-way and transmission 24-way connectors. Use the gray-colored 150 Series Metripack Flexible Male Connector probe contained in Jumper Wire Kit J 39197-A when testing the TCM and transmission mating connectors. Failure to do so may distort the socket terminals inside the connectors and cause them to lose the necessary tension to maintain rm contact. (2) On the opposite end of the harness, check the continuity of the jumpered pair. No continuity in a jumpered pair circuit (innite resistance reading) indicates an open in the wire being tested. Refer to OEM wiring harness repair procedure. b. If the continuity check is good (02 Ohms resistance), remove the jumpers. Check the harness for shorts between wires and shorts-to-ground by performing the following (refer to Figure 42): (1) At the TCM end of the harness, touch one DVOM probe to one wire of the circuit being tested and touch the other probe to each terminal in the same connector, then touch the probe to chassis ground and to the transmission main housing. Do this for both wires in the circuit being tested. (2) If at any time the DVOM shows zero to low resistance, or the meters continuity beeper sounds, there is a short between the two points being probedwire-to-wire or wire-to-ground. Isolate and repair the short.

42. CHECKING AT TRANSMISSION CONNECTOR AND THE INTERNAL HARNESS FOR OPENS, SHORTS BETWEEN WIRES, AND SHORTS-TO-GROUND
1. Disconnect the external wiring harness from the transmission. 2. Inspect the connectors. Any terminals which are corroded or dirty must be thoroughly cleaned.
CAUTION:
The cleaning solvent must not be chlorine based, contain petroleum distillates, or conduct electricity. The cleaning solvent should evaporate quickly to prevent the possibility of condensation within the connectors. Always blow or shake any excess cleaner from the connector before assembling it to its mating connector or hardware. Cleaner trapped in the connector can affect the connector seal. (Refer to SIL17-TR-94 for detailed information on the recommended cleaners.)
3. If the connectors are clean and properly seated, determine which wires in the harness to test. Use the diagnostic code system schematic to locate the wire terminals. For this example, DTC P2727 and P2729 indicate an open or a short-to-ground in the PCS1 circuitwires 111 and 155 (refer to Figure 43 and Figure 44). a. At the transmission connector, check the resistance of the PCS1 circuit. Resistance of a solenoid circuit should be 5.58 Ohmscovering a temperature range of 18C to 149C (0F to 300F). Refer to Solenoid Resistance vs. Temperature chart in Appendix K. No continuity in the circuit (innite resistance) indicates an open in the internal harness, the feedthrough connector, or the solenoid coil. Replace the internal harness, replace the feedthrough connector, or replace the solenoid.

b. If the resistance check is good, check the harness for shorts between wires and to ground by performing the following (refer to Figure 44): (1) At the transmission connector, touch one probe of the DVOM to one wire of the circuit being tested and touch the other probe to each terminal in the connector and to chassis ground and the transmission main housing. Do this for both wires in the circuit being tested. (2) If the DVOM shows zero to low resistance, or the continuity beeper sounds, there is a short between the two points being probed, wire-to-wire or wire-to-ground. An indication of a short may be caused by a splice to the wire being checked. Check the wiring diagram in Appendix J for splice locations. If the short is not a splice, then isolate and repair the short.

53. DTC READING AND DTC CLEARING
DTCs can be read and cleared by using Allison DOC For PCService Tool. The use of Allison DOC For PCService Tool is described in the instruction manual furnished with each tool. A. Clearing DTCs

DTCs will automatically clear after 40 code-free warm-up cycles. DTCs can be manually cleared by the Allison DOC For PCService Tool.
B.
Clearing Active Indicators

A DTCs active indicator can be cleared, which removes the DTCs shift inhibitions while the DTC remains in the queue as inactive. The active indicator clearing method is to power down (all active indicators are cleared at TCM power down).
CAUTION:
If an active indicator is cleared while the transmission is locked in a forward range or reverse (fail-to-range), the transmission will remain in the forward range or reverse after the clearing procedure is completed. N (Neutral) must be manually selected.
54.
BEGINNING THE TROUBLESHOOTING PROCESS

A. Starting Procedure
NOTE: Review Paragraph 35, Basic Troubleshooting Information and check uid level and ignition voltage before any troubleshooting is performed. 1. Begin troubleshooting by reading Paragraph 35, checking the transmission uid level, and checking the TCM input voltage. Check for DTCs by using Allison DOC For PCService Tool. 2. When a problem exists, but a DTC is not indicated, refer to Section 7General Troubleshooting Performance Complaint for a listing of various electrical and hydraulic problems, their causes, and remedies. 3. If a DTC is found in the TCM memory, record all available DTC information and failure record data before clearing the DTC (refer to Paragraph 53). 4. Test drive the vehicle to conrm a DTC or performance complaint.
If the DTC reappears, refer to the DTC paragraph (Paragraph 55) and the appropriate DTC table. The DTC section lists DTCs and their description. Locate the appropriate troubleshooting table and follow the instructions. If the DTC does not reappear, it may be an intermittent problem. Use the Allison DOC For PCService Tool and the DTC display procedure described in Section 5. Refer to the troubleshooting table for possible causes of the problem. Appendix A deals with the identication of potential circuit problems. Refer to Appendix A if a circuit problem is suspected.

Circuit Description The Transmission Control Module (TCM) receives input on throttle position from either a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) or a signal transmitted by the engine electronic controls. Vehicles not equipped with electronically-controlled engines have a TPS attached to the engine fuel control linkage. The TPS continuously sends the exact throttle position to the transmission TCM. The TPS is a sliding resistor sensor (potentiometer) actuated by a mechanical linkage. The TCM delivers a constant voltage to one terminal of the TPS resistive strip. The other TPS terminal connects to ground. The resistor contacts of the TPS are connected to provide a regulated voltage signal input to the TCM. When actuated by the mechanical throttle cable, the contacts of the resistor move along the resistive strip. As the contacts slide along the resistive strip, a voltage is sent to the TCM. At each increment of 0.178 mm (0.007 inch) along the resistive strip, the contacts deliver a different voltage to the TCM. The different voltages are interpreted as throttle sensor movement. The TCM converts travel distance (mm) into throttle opening percentage. Conditions for Running the DTC The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). DTC P0123 Pedal Position Sensor CircuitHigh Voltage is not active.

Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0122 sets when the TCM detects a throttle position sensor voltage less than 0.55V for 5 seconds. Action Taken When the DTC Sets DTC P0122 is stored in the TCM history. The TCM uses the default throttle value, based on engine torque and speed. The TCM freezes shift adapts (DNA). The TCM inhibits TCC engagement. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy).
Conditions for Clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PCService Tool can be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without the DTC recurring. Diagnostic Aids Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM. Look for the following conditions:
A bent terminal A backed-out terminal A damaged terminal Poor terminal tension A chafed wire A broken wire inside the insulation.
When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open circuit condition, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault.
Test Description The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This step tests for the proper ignition voltage. 3. This step tests for the proper reference voltage from TCM. 4. This step tests shorting condition or opens in TPS harness. 5. This step tests for proper TPS adjustment. 6. This step tests for internal TPS intermittent shorts or open conditions.

DTC P0218 Transmission Fluid Over Temperature
REFER TO HYDRAULIC SCHEMATICS (APPENDIX H)

Circuit Description The ow of transmission uid starts in the transmission pan. Fluid is then drawn through the lter and internal passages into the oil pump assembly. The oil pump pressurizes the uid into main-pressure that is regulated at the main-pressure regulator valve. From this point, uid is directed to the TCC solenoid and to the control-main regulator and control-main relief valve into the control-main lter assembly and on to all solenoids for use as control pressure. Hot uid leaving the torque converter is routed through the converter ow valve to cooler lines and into the cooler assembly. The transmission oil cooler is located in the radiator. The vehicle may be equipped with an auxiliary oil cooler. The cooled uid is returned to the transmission through the return cooler line and to the transmission lube circuit. The automatic transmission uid temperature (TFT) sensor, which is part of the PSM, is located in the oil pan. If the Transmission Control Module (TCM) detects a high TFT for an extended period of time, then DTC P0218 sets. Conditions for Running the DTC DTCs P0711, P0712, P0713 are not active. The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). Engine speed is greater than 200 rpm for more than 5 seconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0218 sets when the TCM detects a transmission sump temperature greater than 122C (251F) for 10 seconds. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The TCM does not illuminate the CHECK TRANS light (Non-OBD II Strategy). The TCM does not illuminate the MIL (OBD II Strategy). The TCM freezes shift adapts (DNA). The TCM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the DTC are met. The TCM stores this information as Failure Records. DTC P0218 is stored in the TCM history. The TCM defaults to hot mode shift schedule where 4th range is held and TCC is inhibited to increase engine speed and improve cooler ow.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PCService Tool may be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without the DTC recurring. The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the DTC passes test.

Diagnostic Aids Verify the customers driving habits, such as trailer towing, etc. Using Allison DOC For PCService Tool, monitor transmission uid temperature (TFT). TFT should rise steadily during warm-up cycles and then stabilize. DTC P0218 may set after DTC P0711 (not active) has set. Follow the diagnostic table for DTC P0711 before proceeding to the diagnostic for DTC P0218. Repairing the condition that set DTC P0711 will likely eliminate DTC P0218. DTC P0218 sets rst, before DTCs P0711 and P0712. If DTC P0711 is set, temperature is defaulted and diagnostics are shut off, P0218 cannot be set.
Test Description The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 3. This step inspects for air restriction and loss of transmission uid ow, causing an extremely high TFT. 4. This step tests main-pressure. 5. This step inspects for a stuck torque converter stator.

Circuit Description The Transmission Control Module (TCM) requires a switched ignition voltage input and a direct battery voltage input. This switched ignition voltage signal originates from the ignition switch or an ignition relay to supply voltage to pin 163 in the 80-way connector at the TCM. Battery direct voltage is supplied to pins 110 and 170 at the 80-way connector. Conditions for Running the DTC The test becomes enabled when the engine has been running above 400 rpm for at least 0.5 seconds. The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). Conditions for Setting the DTC P0561 sets when the TCM detects a large variation in ignition voltage or battery direct voltage. When an ignition or battery direct voltage variation of 4.0V or greater is detected for 0.5 seconds, a fault pending is reported. After 1.0 second of 4.0V or greater variation, a DTC is set with a failure response.

DTC P0614 Torque Control Data MismatchECM/TCM

Circuit Description Shift Energy Management (SEM) allows the Transmission Control Module (TCM) to request torque reduction from the engine controller. By reducing torque, shifts can be made quicker, at a more consistent output torque which reduces clutch temperatures and increases clutch life. When an engine torque rating exceeds certain limits, Lower Range Torque Protection (LRTP) is used. This feature limits engine torque in lower ranges to protect the transmission from damage if a stall condition occurs. Conditions for Running the DTC No DTC U0115 CAN bus error. Engine speed is greater than 200 rpm and less than 7500 rpm for 5 seconds. The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). This test runs for 30 seconds for the rst 20 engine starts after the engine is detected on the J1939 CAN. If P0614 is active, the test runs for an unlimited number of engine starts. Engine must be identied by the TCM (via J1939 communications) as an approved make and model. Engines identified during the cal ordering process (PCCS/CSS) as low torque will operate without setting a P0614.
NOTE:
Conditions for Setting the DTC P0614 sets when the TCM detects one of the following conditions: The PCCS/CSS calibration process has determined that the particular engine rating and transmission conguration requires SEM/LRTP but the TCM detects the ECM software is not supporting all the messaging necessary for SEM and/or LRTP, or the engine is not on the SEM/LRTP validation list All engine ratings that have been identied during the PCCS/CSS calibration process as requiring SEM/LRTP must have software that is compatible with SEM and LRTP or a P0614 is set. Valid engines with a torque rating exceeding 580 lb ft (786 Nm) must have software that is compatible with LRTP or a P0614 is set.
NOTE:

Circuit Description High Side Driver 1 (HSD1) supplies battery voltage to the Main Mod, TCC and PCS1 solenoids via wire 111. HSD1 is continuously ON during normal operation except during brief circuit tests. The TCM regulates control current to the solenoids by switching the appropriate low-side driver ON and OFF. DTC P0658 indicates the TCM has detected that all solenoids connected to the HSD1 are inactive with a supply voltage in the HSD1 circuit of 6V or less. DTC P0658 indicates a short-to-ground has occurred in the high side wiring attached to HSD1 (wire 111) or TransID (wire124). Conditions for Running the DTC Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). HSD1 is commanded ON.
550

Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0658 is set when the TCM detects all the solenoids connected to the HSD1 are inactive and the high-side voltage is less then 6V. These conditions indicate a short-to-ground has occurred at the high-side wire 111 or TransID wire 176. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P0658 is active, the following conditions will occur: If the failure occurs while in a forward range a shift to rst, third, or fth range is made. While diagnostic response is active, if shift selector is moved to neutral, transmission will shift to neutral; if the shift selector is moved to reverse, transmission shifts to reverse. If the shift selector is moved to forward range or reverse and transmission is compromised be overspeeding or direction change, transmission shifts to neutral. TCC engagement is inhibited. Main Modulation is inhibited. DTC is stored in TCM history. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates.
Conditions for clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light The Allison DOC For PCService Tool can be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids HSD1 and HSD2 will reset opening the high side circuit whenever a short-to-ground is detected. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. Use the data obtained from failure records to determine transmission range and/or certain vehicle operating variables such as temperature, run time etc. This data can be useful in reproducing the failure mode when DTC was set. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM and transmission connector. Look for the following conditions: A bent terminal A backed-out terminal A damaged terminal Poor terminal tension A chafed wire A broken wire inside the insulation Inspect OEM wiring harness routing, look for possible contact points where chafng could occur leading to an open circuit condition. Moving parts on the vehicle could be contacting the harness; this includes parking brake drum, suspension components, etc. When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. A short-to-ground at TransID wire 176 could allow this DTC to set. To check for this condition, isolate wire 176 by removing pin 24 at the transmission connector and pin 76 at the 80-way TCM connector. Clear DTCs and watch for an active DTC P0658 to return. NOTE: Be aware that a TransID DTC P0702 will be set by performing this test. If P0658 code does not return inspect wire 176 for possible shorting concern.

DTC P0701 Transmission Control SystemPerformance

Circuit Description The Transmission Control Module (TCM) monitors the status of the pressure switches at start-up to detect the presence of hydraulic pressure. Conditions for Running the DTC The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM). Engine speed is greater than 200 rpm and less than 7500 rpm for 5 seconds. This test is run after engine start-up and runs as part of the transmission hydraulic initialization.
Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0701 sets when transmission uid temperature is above 25C (13F) with an engine speed above 500 rpm for 6 seconds or 400 rpm for 15 seconds and forward or reverse range is selected and all the pressure switches do not indicate pressure. Action Taken When the DTC Sets DTC P0701 is stored in the TCM history. The TCM inhibits TCC engagement. The TCM does not illuminate the CHECK TRANS light (Non-OBD II Strategy). The TCM does not illuminate the MIL (OBD II Strategy).
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC Allison DOC For PCService Tool may be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids DTC P0701 may be logged if a forward or reverse range is selected immediately after the engine is started and before the TCM detects pressure at the switches (2 to 6 seconds after engine start). A plugged control main lter may cause this DTC to set. The control main lter is to be changed after the rst 8000 km (5000 miles). Failure to change the lter at this interval may cause this DTC and other pressure switch DTCs to set. A cracked internal suction lter tube or damaged tube seal may cause this DTC to set. A stuck lube regulator valve (located in the front support) may cause this DTC to set. A high static oil level with the vehicle running is often a good indication of this complaint. Often pressure switch DTCs are set in this scenario. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault.

Circuit Description An internal mode switch (IMS) is used by the TCM to detect the angular position of the shift selector shaft. There are ve internal switches in the IMS: A, B, C, P, and NS. The TCM uses four of these switch inputs to determine the proper gear range that is selected. The fth switch (NS), located in the IMS, is used as conrmation that the transmission is in neutral before the engine starter is engaged. Conditions for Running the DTC Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V. Engine speed is less than 350 rpm. Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0706 sets in GM medium duty applications when the engine control module allows a start in reverse or forward range. The TCM will inhibit to neutral. This DTC is set in the TCM and engine PCM/ECM.

Actions taken when the DTC Sets The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates on the second occurrence (OBD II Strategy). The diagnostic response is to shut all solenoids off, allowing the transmission to fail to hydraulic default limp home. Shift selector and hydraulic state of logic valves determines range. DTC P0706 is stored in the TCM history. The TCM inhibits TCC engagement. Due to this failure and associated response, P0722 can also set. A shift to R (Reverse) will allow reverse range if a P0878 is not active. Main Mod is disabled.
Conditions for clearing the MIL/DTC Allison DOC For PCService Tool can clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostics Aids Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM, and transmission connector. Look for the following conditions:
When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault.

Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0708 sets when the TCM detects and invalid switch condition and parity errors occur over consecutive ignition cycles. Actions Taken When the DTC Sets The CHECK TRANS light illuminates but no diagnostic response is implemented until after 50 warm-up cycles occur when an IMS switch parity error is active. A warm up cycle is dened as a 20 degree change in transmission temperature (Non-OBD II Strategy). The diagnostic response is to shut all solenoids off, allowing the transmission to fault to hydraulic default limp home. Shift selector and hydraulic state of logic valves determines range. DTC P0708 is stored in the TCM history. The TCM inhibits TCC engagement. Due to this failure and associated response, P0722 can also be set.

Circuit Description The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is incorporated into the Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM), which is located in the transmission oil pan. The TFT sensor is a thermistor that changes its resistance value based on the temperature of the transmission uid. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) measures the voltage drop across the TFT sensor. As the TFT sensor resistance changes the voltage drop recorded across the thermistor will increase or decrease proportionately. The TCM uses this information to determine sump temperature.
575

Conditions for Running the DTC DTC P0721, P0722, P0717, P0716, P0713, or P0712 is not active. The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM). The engine rpm is greater than 200 rpm for more than 5 seconds. The engine rpm is greater than 450 rpm for more than 2 seconds with output speed of 100 rpm or above, indicating that a range is selected. A valid start-up temperature is detected. Conditions for Setting the DTC One of the following conditions occur: The TCM detects a temperature change that is under a set limit when compared to samples of the minimum and maximum temperature values. The TFT has an unrealistic temperature change of more than 10C (50F) for 10 occurrences. The temperature from start up decreases 40C (104F) or more within a duration of 6 or more seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets The TCM does not illuminate the CHECK TRANS light (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates on the second occurrence (OBD II Strategy). The TCM stores DTC P0711 in TCM history. The TCM uses calibration default for temperature values, 93C (199F). Conditions for Clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PCService Tool may be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without the DTC recurring. The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition has been cycled.
576

Diagnostic Aids If DTC P0711 does not return when cleared, but was once present, an intermittent condition has occurred on the circuit shown in the thumbnail drawing. Due to the nature of intermittent conditions, it may be necessary to eliminate all of the components associated with the transmission before returning the vehicle to the vehicle manufacturer for harness replacement. The following components should be tested as indicated before suspecting an OEM vehicle harness.
TCMSubstitute a known good TCM and drive vehicle, if concern is eliminated, reinstall old TCM to
conrm complaint returns.

Internal Harness and PSMRemove the transmission oil pan, remove internal harness and PSM assembly.
Using a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), check for open or shorting conditions and check the thermistor for the proper resistance value. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM and the transmission connector. Look for the following conditions:
A bent terminal A back-out terminal A damaged terminal Poor terminal tension A chafed wire A broken wire inside the insulation.
When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. Using Allison DOC For PCService Tool monitor transmission uid temperature (TFT). TFT should rise steadily during warm-up cycles and then stabilize. DTC P0218 may set after DTC P0711 has set. Follow the diagnostic table for DTC P0711 before proceeding to the diagnostic for DTC P0218.

Conditions for Running the DTC DTC P0711, P0712 are not active. The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM). The engine rpm is greater than 200 rpm for more than 5 seconds. The engine has been running for 20 seconds with a coolant temperature above 20C (68F). Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0713 sets when the TCM detects a voltage greater than 4.84V for 2.5 seconds. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The TCM does not illuminate the CHECK TRANS light (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates on the second occurrence (OBD II Strategy). The TCM stores DTC P0713 in TCM history. TCM uses calibration default for temperature values. Conditions for Clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PCService Tool may be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a diagnostic fault occurring. The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition has been cycled. Diagnostic Aids If DTC P0713 does not return when cleared, but was once present, an intermittent condition has occurred on the circuit shown in the thumbnail drawing. Due to the nature of intermittent conditions, it may be necessary to eliminate all of the components associated with the transmission before returning the vehicle to the vehicle manufacturer for harness replacement. The following components should be tested as indicated before suspecting an OEM vehicle harness.
TCMSubstitute a known good TCM and drive vehicle, if concern is eliminated, reinstall old TCM to
conrm complaint returns. Internal Harness and PSMRemove the transmission oil pan, remove internal harness and PSM assembly. Using a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), check for open or shorting conditions and check the thermistor for the proper resistance value. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM and the transmission connector. Look for the following conditions: A bent terminal A back-out terminal A damaged terminal Poor terminal tension A chafed wire A broken wire inside the insulation. When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. DTC P0218 may set after DTC P0713 has set. Follow the diagnostic table for DTC P0713 before proceeding to the diagnostic for DTC P0218.

V08904.00.00
Circuit Description The speed sensors are variable reluctance devices which convert mechanical motion to an AC voltage. Each sensor consists of a wire coil wrapped around a pole piece that is adjacent to a permanent magnet. These elements are contained in a housing which is mounted adjacent to a rotating ferrous member. Two signal wires extend from one end of the housing and an exposed end of the pole piece is at the opposite end of the housing. The permanent magnet produces lines of ux around the pole piece. As a ferrous object (such as a gear tooth) approaches and passes through the gap at the end of the pole piece, an AC voltage pulse is induced in the wire coil. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) calculates the frequency of these AC pulses and converts it to a speed value. The AC voltage generated varies from 150mV at low speed to 15V at high speed. The signal wires from the sensor are formed as twisted pairs to cancel magnetically induced elds. The cable is also shielded to protect from voltage-related elds. Noise from other sources is eliminated by using two-wire differential inputs at the TCM. Conditions for Running the DTC The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). DTC P0717, P0721, or P0722 is not active. Turbine speed is above 200 rpm. Shift is complete and range attained is not neutral. For re truck vocations, pump is not pumping.

Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0716 is set when one of the following conditions occur: Unrealistic large change in turbine speed. Failure is set if an unrealistic change in transmission turbine speed is detected at or above 800 rpm for 0.15 seconds. Noisy turbine speed signal. Noise is determined with two counters. A low counter is incremented when turbine speed change is below 800 rpm for 2.0 seconds. A high counter is incremented when turbine speed change is above 800 rpm. When both counters accumulate 5 events, a failure is set. Action Taken When the DTC Sets When DTC P0716 is active, the following conditions will occur: If failure occurs while in a forward range and a shift has been completed, the transmission will remain in the current range. If failure occurs while in a forward range and a shift is in progress, the transmission will return to the previous range, except in post-shift state; then the transmission will continue to the commanded range. DTC P0716 is stored in the TCM history. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy). The TCM inhibits TCC engagement. The TCM freezes shift adapts. Conditions for Clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PCService Tool may be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without the DTC recurring. Diagnostic Aids Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM. Look for the following conditions: A bent terminal A backed-out terminal A damaged terminal Poor terminal tension A chafed wire A broken wire inside the insulation. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. If the condition is intermittent, connect Allison DOC For PCService Tool and select the speed sensor indicated by the DTC. If the signal is erratic, investigate and eliminate the following: Intermittent wiring connection Excessive vibration (driveline or engine torsionals) Irregular sensor gap (loose sensor, loose tone wheel, or damaged tone wheel) Install a known good speed sensor and see if normal function is restored to rule out an internal short or open in the sensor removed. Check that the speed sensor wiring consists of twisted pairs at the rate of 12 to 16 twists per 300 mm. These twists must extend the entire length of the wiring harness to within at least 50 mm of the speed sensor connector. Inspect the turbine speed tone wheel/PTO gear for possible damage. Test Description The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This step tests ignition voltage. 3. This step tests for proper turbine speed sensor resistance at the TCM side of the harness. 4. This step tests turbine speed sensor resistance.

Circuit Description Vehicles equipped with anti-lock brake system (ABS) have an option to use an physical interface between the ABS and TCM. This interface allows disengagement of the Torque Converter Clutch when the ABS is activated. This ABS action is initiated with a discrete input from the ABS system, when the ABS is activated a ground signal is sent to TCM input wire. This may be a ground signal direct from the ABS controller or a positive signal from the ABS controller that powers a relay eld coil to supply a ground through the relay contacts (some ABS systems require that the ground signal be switched through a relay). Conditions for Running the DTC The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18v (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). DTCs P0721, and P0722 are not active. Conditions for Setting the DTC This DTC will set after the TCM detects one or more vehicle acceleration cycles where the TCM ABS brake switch input is in the ON activated state. Action Taken when DTC Sets The TCM uses the default assumption that the ABS is OFF. DTC P0719 is stored in the TCM history. The TCM does not illuminate the CHECK TRANS light (Non-OBD II Strategy).

Conditions for Clearing the DTC/ CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PCService Tool can be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM. Look for the following conditions:
A bent terminal A back-out terminal A damaged terminal Poor terminal tension A chafed wire A broken wire inside the insulation.
When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. The Allison DOC For PCService Tool J1939 CAN databus viewer may be used in some applications to view the current status of ABS input. This may be useful in troubleshooting an ABS module concern. ABS system interface to the TCM input can be wired one of three different ways, check with the OEM for proper wiring information concerning ABS applied input before troubleshooting.

1. Remove ABS input wire (121) from 80-way connector. 2. Clear DTC and test-drive vehicle. Did the DTC return? Return vehicle to OEM for troubleshooting of wiring leading to ABS controller. Was the problem found and corrected? NOTE: In most cases, the TCM is not at fault. Investigate thoroughly before replacing the TCM. Refer to TCM diagnostic procedure (Section 36). Is Section 36 complete? In order to verify your repair: 1. Clear the DTC. 2. Operate the vehicle under normal driving conditions. 3. Check for proper operation of ABS. Did the DTC return?

Circuit Description The speed sensors are variable reluctance devices which convert mechanical motion to an AC voltage. Each sensor consists of a wire coil wrapped around a pole piece that is adjacent to a permanent magnet. These elements are contained in a housing which is mounted adjacent to a rotating ferrous member. Two signal wires extend from one end of the housing and an exposed end of the pole piece is at the opposite end of the housing. The permanent magnet produces lines of ux around the pole piece. As a ferrous object (such as a gear tooth) approaches and passes through the gap at the end of the pole piece, an AC voltage pulse is induced in the wire coil. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) calculates the frequency of these AC pulses and converts it to a speed value. The AC voltage generated varies from 150mV at low speed to 15V at high speed. The signal wires from the sensor are formed as twisted pairs to cancel magnetically induced elds. The cable is also shielded to protect from voltage-related elds. Noise from other sources is eliminated by using two-wire differential inputs at the TCM. Conditions for Running the DTC The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). DTC P0716, P0717, or P0726 is not active. Unrealistically low engine speed detected. Engine is running. Transmission turbine speed is at or above 400 rpm. Ignition is in the ON position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0727 is set when one of the following conditions occur: Unrealistic large change in engine speed. Failure pending is set if an unrealistic change in engine speed is detected at or above 1140 rpm. Unrealistic low value in engine speed. Failure is set if engine speed is detected below 61 rpm for 4 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets The TCM does not illuminate the CHECK TRANS light (Non-OBD II Strategy). The TCM illuminates the MIL on the second occurrence (OBD II Strategy). The TCM defaults engine speed to turbine speed. Turbine speed is used to determine missing engine speed. TCM inhibits TCC momentarily. DTC P0727 is stored in TCM history

DTC P0729 Incorrect 6th Gear Ratio
REFER TO 6th RANGE HYDRAULIC SCHEMATIC (APPENDIX H)

Circuit Description The Transmission Control Module (TCM) uses input from the turbine speed and the output speed sensors to determine the current commanded steady state gear ratio. The TCM then compares the known gear ratio to the calculated gear ratio for the current range. Conditions for Running the DTC Hydraulic system is pressurized. Shift to 6th is complete. Output speed is above 200 rpm. Engine initialization or shutdown is not in process. DTCs P0708, P0716, P0717, P0721, P0722, P0877, P0878 are not active.
Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0729 sets during steady state condition when the calculated sixth gear ratio differs from the known sixth gear ratio for more than 2 seconds. The TCM detects this through the use of a timer that accumulates when the transmission is in 6th gear and output speed is 100 rpm or more with a gear slip (the different between turbine and output speed) exceeding 100 rpm for 2 seconds. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P0729 is active, the following conditions will occur: A shift to 5th range is made when the failure occurs. While diagnostic response is active, if shift selector is moved to N (Neutral), transmission will shift to neutral; if the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), transmission shifts to neutral. If the shift selector is moved to D (Forward) range and transmission is compromised be overspeeding or direction change, transmission shifts to neutral. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy). DTC is stored in TCM history. TCM inhibits TCC engagement. TCM freezes shift adapts (DNA).
Conditions for clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PCService Tool can be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure.

Diagnostic Aids Inspect the speed sensor wiring and connectors for poor electrical connections. Look for the following conditions:
When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment or Allison DOC For PCService Tool for a change. Output or turbine tone wheel damage may cause erratic speed sensor input allowing this DTC to set. Use Allison DOC For PCService Tool to record a snapshot of the occurrence, monitor the engine, turbine and output speed signal on the strip chart. Look for erratic or noisy signals, which may indicate an intermittent concern at one of the speed sensor circuits. Drive the vehicle in 4th range where signals are the same to better determine if signals have a problem. You may have to clear the DTC and drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. Use the data obtained from failure records to determine transmission range and/or certain vehicle operating variables such as temperature, run time etc. This data can be useful in reproducing failures mode where DTC was set. Incorrect ratio DTCs typically indicate mechanical problems with specic clutches for range indicated. An incorrect ratio DTC may indicate a mechanically failed trim solenoid. Check the DTC information for the specic solenoid. Incorrect TCM calibration will cause this DTC to set.

REFER TO HYDRAULIC SCHEMATIC (APPENDIX H)

Circuit Description The transmission torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid is a pressure control solenoid used to control the rate of TCC apply and release. The TCM applies and releases the TCC by varying the amount of electrical current through a low side driver. The TCM uses data received from the engine speed sensor and the turbine speed sensor to calculate torque converter slip values. It can detect if the torque converter is stuck off (unlocked) or stuck on (locked) by comparing TCC slip speed to a preset value in the TCM calibration. Conditions for Running the DTC DTC P0122, P0123, P0716, P0717, P0721, P0722 P0743 (P1860) are not active. Engine speed is greater than 200 rpm for ve second. The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). Transmission is in a valid forward range. Throttle percentage is over 10 percent but less than 90 percent. Six or more seconds have elapsed since last range with TCC.
Conditions for Setting the DTC P0741 sets when the TCM detects a slip speed exceeding 80 rpm for 15 or more seconds. Indicating no TCC apply. Action taken when the DTC Sets DTC is stored in the TCM history.

Circuit Description The Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) is a multiple-switch assembly made up of three normally open (N/O) and one normally closed (N/C) pressure switches. The Pressure Switch 1 (PS1) monitors Shift Solenoid Valve 1 (SV1) positioning and relays it to the TCM. When PS1 is in the open state, SV1 should be in the destroked position.
5137

Conditions for Running the DTC Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V or greater than 18V or less than 32V. SV1 is commanded to the ON (stroked) position.
Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0751 is set when Shift Solenoid 1 (SS1) is commanded ON and Pressure Switch 1 (PS1) status remains Exhausted/OFF for a period of time that is temperature dependent (5 seconds at a temperature of 0C to 40C). The intent of this DTC is to detect a shift valve timeout condition which normally indicates a stuck shift valve in the destroked state, mechanical solenoid failure or an open circuit condition. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P0751 is active, the following conditions will occur: If the failure occurs while in a forward range a shift to 1st, 3rd, or 5th range is made. While diagnostic response is active, if shift selector is moved to N (Neutral), transmission will shift to neutral; if the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), transmission shifts to reverse. If the shift selector is moved to D (Forward) range or R (Reverse) and transmission is compromised be overspeeding or direction change, transmission shifts to neutral. DTC is stored in TCM history. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy). TCM inhibits TCC engagement. TCM freezes shift adapts (DNA).
Conditions for clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PCService Tool can be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM. Look for the following conditions:
When a P0843 and P0751 are set in combination, the TCM logic re-attempted to command the shift solenoid on. A circuit or pressure switch concern exists. Refer to P0843 for further instruction. When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. It may be necessary to check for shorting-to-ground at individual wires within a harness to isolate an intermittent condition (refer to Section 4, Wire Check Procedures and Appendix A, Section B).
5138

You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. Use the data obtained from failure records to determine transmission range and/or certain vehicle operating variables such as temperature, run time etc. This data can be useful in reproducing failures mode where DTC was set. Multiple inactive pressure switch DTCs may be due to a plugged Control main lter. Be sure that the initial 8000 km (5000 mile) lter change was performed. Whenever performing any internal valve body repair be sure that your work area is free of airborne dust and dirt that might contaminate the valve body assembly. Always store any reusable oil in a clean, covered container. It is recommended that a funnel which incorporates a screen lter be used to rell or strain the oil through an appropriate screen.

Circuit Description The Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) is a multiple-switch assembly made up of three normally open (N/O) and one normally closed (N/C) pressure switches. The Pressure Switch 1 (PS1) monitors Shift Valve 1 (SV1) positioning and relays it to the TCM. When PS1 is in the open state, SV1 should be in the destroked position.
5143

Conditions for Running the DTC Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V or greater than 18V or less than 32V. SV1 is commanded to the OFF (destroked) position. Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0752 is set when Shift Solenoid 1 (SS1) is commanded OFF and PS1 status remains Pressurized/ON for a period of time that is temperature dependent (2 seconds at a temperature of 0C up to 4 seconds at 40C). The intent of this DTC is to detect a shift valve timeout condition which normally indicates a stuck shift valve in the stroked state, mechanical solenoid failure or a circuit short-to-ground. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P0752 is active, the following conditions will occur: If the failure occurs while in a forward range a shift to 1st, 3rd, or 5th range is made. While diagnostic response is active, if shift selector is moved to N (Neutral), transmission will shift to neutral; if the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), transmission shifts to reverse. If the shift selector is moved to D (Forward) range or R (Reverse) and transmission is compromised be overspeeding or direction change, transmission shifts to neutral. DTC is stored in TCM history. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy). TCM inhibits TCC engagement. TCM freezes shift adapts (DNA).
When a P0842 and P0752 are set in combination, the TCM logic re-attempted to command the shift solenoid on. This indicates a circuit or pressure switch concern exists. Refer to P0842 for further instruction.
5144

When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. It may be necessary to check for shorting-to-ground at individual wires within a harness to isolate an intermittent condition (refer to Section 4, Wire Check Procedures and Appendix A, Section B). You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. Use the data obtained from failure records to determine transmission range and/or certain vehicle operating variables such as temperature, run time etc. This data can be useful in reproducing failures mode where DTC was set. Multiple inactive pressure switch DTCs may be due to a plugged Control main lter. Be sure that the initial 8000 km (5000 mile) lter change was performed. Whenever performing any internal valve body repair be sure that your work area is free of airborne dust and dirt that might contaminate the valve body assembly. Always store any reusable oil in a clean, covered container. It is recommended that a funnel which incorporates a screen lter be used to rell or strain the oil through an appropriate screen.

Conditions for Running the DTC Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V or greater than 18V or less than 32V. Shift Solenoid valve 3 is commanded to the OFF (destroked) position.
Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0762 is set when Shift Solenoid 3 (SS3) is commanded OFF and Pressure Switch 3 (PS3) status remains Pressurized/ON for a period of time that is temperature dependent. (2 seconds at a temperature of 0C up to 15 seconds at 40C). The intent of this DTC is to detect a shift valve timeout condition which normally indicates a stuck shift valve in the stroked state, mechanical solenoid failure or a circuit short-to-ground. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P0762 is active, the following conditions will occur: If the failure occurs while in a forward range a shift to 1st, 3rd, or 5th range is made. While diagnostic response is active, if shift selector is moved to N (Neutral), transmission will shift to neutral; if the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), transmission shifts to reverse. If the shift selector is moved to D (Forward) range or reverse and transmission is compromised by overspeeding or direction change, transmission shifts to neutral. DTC is stored in TCM history. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy). TCM inhibits TCC engagement. TCM freezes shift adapts (DNA).
When a P0872 and P0762 are set in combination, the TCM logic re-attempted to command the shift solenoid on. A circuit or pressure switch concern exists. Refer to P0872 for further instruction. When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. It may be necessary to check for shorting-to-ground at individual wires within a harness to isolate an intermittent condition (refer to Section 4, Wire Check Procedures and Appendix A, Section B).

DTC P0776 Pressure Control Solenoid 2 (PCS2)Stuck Off

Circuit Description PCS2 is used to control on-coming, off-going, and holding pressure to any one of the ve clutches. This solenoid is referred to as a Pressure Proportional to Current (PPC) solenoid since the output hydraulic pressure supplied by this solenoid is proportional to the controlled current command. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) uses information from the turbine and output speed sensors to detect if a clutch is slipping. The clutch being controlled by PCS2 will vary depending on the shift that was being completed. Conditions for Running the DTC The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). Turbine speed is greater than 60 rpm. Output speed is greater than 125 rpm. Transmission is at normal operating temperature. DTC P0708, P0716, P0717, P0721, P0722, P0875, or P0876 is not active.
Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0776 sets when the TCM detects an incorrect oncoming ratio (range-to-range) for an accumulated number of occurrences. Action Taken When the DTC Sets When DTC P0776 is active, the following conditions will occur:
If failure occurs while in a forward range, the transmission will shift to the previous range. If failure occurs while in N (Neutral) or R (Reverse), the transmission will lock in N (Neutral). If the shift selector is moved to N (Neutral), the transmission will shift to N (Neutral) (some cases may
lock in N (Neutral)).
If the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), the transmission will shift to R (Reverse) or N (Neutral). If the shift selector is returned to a forward range and the transmission is compromised by overspeeding or
a direction change, the transmission will shift to N (Neutral). DTC P0776 is stored in the TCM history. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy). The TCM freezes shift adapts (DNA). The TCM inhibits TCC engagement.

Circuit Description The Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) is a multiple-switch assembly made up of three normally open (N/O) and one normally closed (N/C) pressure switches. Pressure switch 1 (PS1) monitors shift valve 1 positioning and relays it to the TCM.
5187

Conditions for Running the DTC Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 5V. DTC P0561, P0562, P0563 are not active. Shift valve 1 is destroked. Transmission temperature is above 25C. Vehicle shutdown is not in process.
Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0842 sets during steady state (all shift valves are commanded to their proper state and a valid range is attained) operation when shift valve 1 is in the destroked state (commanded OFF) and Pressure Switch 1 (PS1) status is detected as stroked (Pressurized/ON). The intent of this DTC is to detect shorts-to-ground in the pressure switch wiring circuit or the pressure switch. This diagnostic test is designed to compare the commanded shift valve position to the pressure switch feedback. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P0842 is active, the following conditions will occur: If the failure occurs while in a forward range a shift to 1st, 3rd, or 5th range is made. While diagnostic response is active, if shift selector is moved to N (Neutral), transmission will shift to neutral; if the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), transmission shifts to reverse. If the shift selector is moved to D (Forward) range or reverse and transmission is compromised by overspeeding or direction change, transmission shifts to neutral. DTC is stored in TCM history. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy). TCM inhibits TCC engagement. TCM freezes shift adapts (DNA).
Conditions for clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PC can be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM. Look for the following conditions:
When only a P0842 is set look for an intermittent short-to-ground at pressure switch circuit. This DTC is set when the condition is present more than 3 occurrences during the current drive cycle (refer to Appendix A, Section B, Finding an Intermittent Fault).
5188

When a P0842 and P0752 are set in combination, the TCM logic re-attempted to command the shift solenoid on. A circuit or pressure switch concern is still present or continuous and not intermittent in nature. When a P0752 and P0842 are set in combination this may indicate a short-to-ground is present at the pressure switch circuit or the shift valve is stuck in the stroked state (refer to Section 54, Beginning the Troubleshooting Process). When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. It may be necessary to check for shorting-to-ground at individual wires within a harness to isolate an intermittent condition (refer to Section 4, Wire Check Procedures and Appendix A, Section B). You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. Use the data obtained from failure records to determine transmission range and/or certain vehicle operating variables such as temperature, run time etc. This data can be useful in reproducing failures mode where DTC was set. Multiple inactive pressure switch DTCs may be due to a plugged Control main lter. Be sure that the initial 8000 km (5000 mile) lter change was performed.
Test Description The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 3. This step tests for proper main pressure. 4. This step tests for an active DTC. 5.

Conditions for Running the DTC Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 5V. DTC P0561, P0562, P0563 are not active. Shift valve 3 is destroked. Transmission temperature is above 25C Vehicle shutdown is not in process. Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0872 sets during steady state (all shift valves are commanded to their proper state and a valid range is attained) operation when shift valve 3 is in the destroked state (commanded OFF) and Pressure Switch 3 (PS3) status is detected as stroked (Pressurized/ON). The intent of this DTC is to detect shorts-to-ground in the pressure switch wiring circuit or the pressure switch. This diagnostic test is designed to compare the commanded shift valve position to the pressure switch feedback. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P0872 is active, the following conditions will occur: If the failure occurs while in a forward range a shift to 1st, 3rd, or 5th range is made. While diagnostic response is active, if shift selector is moved to N (Neutral), transmission will shift to neutral; if the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), transmission shifts to reverse. If the shift selector is moved to D (Forward) range or R (Reverse) and transmission is compromised be overspeeding or direction change, transmission shifts to neutral. DTC is stored in TCM history. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy). TCM inhibits TCC engagement. TCM freezes shift adapts (DNA).
When only a P0872 is set look for an intermittent short-to-ground at pressure switch circuit. This DTC is set when the condition is present more than 3 occurrences during the current drive cycle (refer to Appendix A, Section BFinding an Intermittent Fault). When a P0872 and P0762 are set in combination, the TCM logic re-attempted to command the shift solenoid on. A circuit or pressure switch concern is still present or continuous and not intermittent in nature.
5208

When a P0762 and P0872 are set in combination this may indicate a short-to-ground is present at the pressure switch circuit or the shift valve is stuck in the stroked state (refer to Section 54, Beginning the Troubleshooting Process). When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. It may be necessary to check for shorting-to-ground at individual wires within a harness to isolate an intermittent condition (refer to Section 4, Wire Check Procedures and Appendix A, Section B). You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. Use the data obtained from failure records to determine transmission range and/or certain vehicle operating variables such as temperature, run time etc. This data can be useful in reproducing failures mode where DTC was set. Multiple inactive pressure switch DTCs may be due to a plugged Control main lter. Be sure that the initial 8000 km (5000 mile) lter change was performed.

Circuit Description Pressure Control Solenoid (MAIN MOD) is a normally closed (N/C) solenoid used to modulate the transmission main pressure schedule. The TCM commands the solenoid ON when specic transmission and engine conditions are met. When MAIN MOD is commanded ON, pressure is routed to the main regulator valve lowering the main pressure schedule. The TCM sends control current to MAIN MOD from high side driver 1 (HSD1) via wire 111. HSD1 is continuously ON unless the TCM detects a fault condition. The TCM regulates the amount of current to MAIN MOD by switching MAIN MODs low side driver ON and OFF. Wire 174 completes the circuit between MAIN MOD and its low side driver. DTC P0960 indicates that the TCM processor has detected an open condition in MAIN MODs electrical circuit. The open condition may exist in the high side (wire 111) or low side (wire 174).
5242

Conditions for Running the DTC The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). TCM initialization is in process or engine speed is greater than 200 rpm and less than 7500 rpm for 5 seconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0960 is set when the TCM detects an open circuit on the MAIN MOD circuit for more than 2 seconds. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P0960 is active, the following conditions will occur: The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy). DTC is stored in TCM history.
Conditions for clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PCService Tool can be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids DTC P0960 indicates an open in the electrical circuit for the MAIN MOD. In addition to MAIN MOD, high side driver HSD1 also supplies power to PCS1 and TCC. If DTC P0960 is accompanied by DTC P2727 (PCS1 open circuit) and/or DTC P2761 (TCC open circuit), the open is most likely in the high side of the circuit. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. Use the data obtained from failure records to determine transmission range and/or certain vehicle operating variables such as temperature, run time etc. This data can be useful in reproducing the failure mode when DTC was set. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM and transmission connector. Look for the following conditions:
Inspect OEM wiring harness routing, look for possible contact points where chang could occur leading to an open circuit condition. Moving parts on the vehicle could be contacting the harness; this includes parking brake drum, suspension components, etc. When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change.

If the DTC appears to be temperature related, suspect a defective MAIN MOD. It is possible for a solenoid to be temperature sensitive causing resistance values to uctuate. This may cause an intermittent DTC to be set.
Test Description The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 2. This step tests for the proper ignition voltage. 3. This step tests for an active DTC. 4. This step tests the OEM harness for an excessive voltage drop caused by an open condition in either wire 111 or wire 174 of the OEM chassis harness. 6.

Circuit Description Pressure Control Solenoid 1 (MAIN MOD) is a normally closed (N/C) solenoid used to modulate the transmission main pressure schedule. The TCM commands the solenoid ON when specic transmission and engine conditions are met. When solenoid MAIN MOD is commanded ON, pressure is routed to the main regulator valve lowering the main pressure schedule. The TCM sends control current to solenoid MAIN MOD from high side driver 1 (HSD1) via wire 111. HSD1 is continuously ON unless the TCM detects a fault condition. The TCM regulates the amount of current to MAIN MOD by switching MAIN MODs low side driver ON and OFF. Wire 174 completes the circuit between MAIN MOD and its low side driver. DTC P0963 indicates that the TCM processor has detected a short-to-battery condition in the low side of solenoid MAIN MODs electrical circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). TCM initialization is in process or engine speed is greater than 200 rpm and less than 7500 rpm for 5 seconds. Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0963 is set when the TCM detects a short-to-battery in the MAIN MOD solenoid return circuit for more than 2 seconds. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P0963 is active, the following conditions will occur: The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy). DTC is stored in TCM history.
Conditions for clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PC can be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids DTC P0963 indicates a short-to-battery in the electrical circuit for the MAIN MOD solenoid. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. Use the data obtained from failure records to determine transmission range and/or certain vehicle operating variables such as temperature, run time etc. This data can be useful in reproducing the failure mode when DTC was set. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM and transmission connector. Look for the following conditions:
Inspect OEM wiring harness routing, look for possible contact points where chang could occur leading to an open circuit condition. Moving parts on the vehicle could be contacting the harness; this includes parking brake drum, suspension components, etc. When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. If the DTC appears to be temperature related, suspect a defective Main Mod solenoid. It is possible for a solenoid to be temperature sensitive causing resistance values to uctuate. This may cause an intermittent DTC to be set.

Circuit Description Pressure Control Solenoid 2 (PCS2) is a Pressure Proportional to Current (PPC) solenoid used to control oncoming and off-going and holding pressure to any one of ve clutches. The TCM sends control current to PCS2 from high side driver 2 (HSD2) via wire 171. HSD2 is continuously ON unless the TCM detects a fault condition. The TCM regulates the amount of current to PCS2 by switching PCS2s low side driver ON and OFF. Wire 136 completes the circuit between PCS2 and its low side driver. DTC P0964 indicates that the TCM processor has detected an open condition in solenoid PCS2s electrical circuit. The open condition may exist in the high side (wire 171) or low side (wire 136).
5255

Conditions for Running the DTC Associated high side driver (HSD2) is enabled and no HSD2 DTCs are active. Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V or less than 32V (24V TCM). TCM initialization is in process or engine speed is greater than 200 rpm and less than 7500 rpm for 5 seconds. Engine crank time is not extended. Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0964 is set when the TCM detects an open circuit on the PCS2 solenoid return circuit for more than 2 seconds. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P0964 is active, the following conditions will occur: If the failure occurs while in a forward range a shift to 1st, 3rd, or 5th range is made. While diagnostic response is active, if shift selector is moved to N (Neutral), transmission will shift to neutral; if the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), transmission shifts to reverse. If the shift selector is moved to D (Forward) range or R (Reverse) and transmission is compromised be overspeeding or direction change, transmission shifts to neutral. DTC is stored in TCM history. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy).
Conditions for clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PC can be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids DTC P0964 indicates an open in the electrical circuit for PCS2. In addition to PCS2, HSD2 also supplies power to solenoids SS1, SS2, SS3. If DTC P0964 is accompanied by an open circuit DTC P0972 for SS1 and/ or open circuit DTC P0975 for SS2 and/or P0978 for SS3 the open is most likely in the high side of the circuit. An intermittent circuit condition can allow this DTC to set. Make sure you check for the following conditions at the OEM harness rst, then at the transmission internal harness. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM connector and the transmission main connector. Look for the following conditions:
A bent terminal A backed-out terminal A damaged terminal Poor terminal tension A broken wire inside the insulation.
Inspect OEM wiring harness routing, look for possible contact points where chang could occur leading to an open circuit condition. Moving parts on the vehicle could be contacting the harness; this includes parking brake drum, suspension components, transmission shift linkage etc.
5256

Inspect internal transmission harness wiring for possible contact areas where chang may occur leading to an open circuit condition. When diagnosing for an intermittent open condition, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. It may be necessary to check continuity at individual wires within a harness to isolate an intermittent open condition. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault.

Circuit Description Shift solenoid 1 (SS1) is a normally closed (N/C) solenoid that provides control main pressure to stroke shift valve 1 (SV1) to attain a particular range needed for the next upshift or downshift. A pressure switch is located at the end of the shift valve to send valve position status back to the TCM. The TCM sends control current to SS1 from high side driver 2 (HSD2) via wire 171. HSD2 is continuously ON unless the TCM detects a fault condition. The TCM regulates the amount of current to SS1 by switching SS1s low side driver ON and OFF. Wire 152 completes the circuit between SS1 and its low side driver. DTC P0972 indicates that the TCM processor has detected an open condition in SS1s electrical circuit.

Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0972 is set when the TCM detects an open circuit on the SS1 Pressure Control Solenoid return circuit for more than 2 seconds. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P0972 is active, the following conditions will occur: If the failure occurs while in a forward range a shift to 1st, 3rd, or 5th range is made. While diagnostic response is active, if shift selector is moved to N (Neutral), transmission will shift to neutral; if the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), transmission shifts to neutral or reverse. If the shift selector is moved to F (Forward) range or R (Reverse) and transmission is compromised be overspeeding or direction change, transmission shifts to neutral. TCC engagement is inhibited. Main Modulation is inhibited. DTC is stored in TCM history. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy). The TCM freezes shift adapts (DNA). Conditions for clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PC can be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids Code P0972 indicates an open in the electrical circuit for the SS1. In addition to SS1, high side driver HSD2 also supplies power to SS2, PCS2, and SS3. If DTC P0972 is accompanied by DTC P0975 (SS2 open circuit) and/or DTC P0952 (SS3 open circuit) and/or P0964 (PCS2 open circuit), the open is most likely in the high side of the circuit. An intermittent circuit condition can allow this DTC to set. Make sure you check for the following conditions at the OEM harness rst, then at the transmission internal harness. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM connector and the transmission main connector. Look for the following conditions:
Inspect OEM wiring harness routing, look for possible contact points where chang could occur leading to an open circuit condition. Moving parts on the vehicle could be contacting the harness; this includes parking brake drum, suspension components, transmission shift linkage etc.

Inspect internal transmission harness wiring for possible contact areas where chang may occur leading to an open circuit condition. When diagnosing for an intermittent open condition, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. It may be necessary to check continuity at individual wires within a harness to isolate an intermittent open condition. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. Use the data obtained from failure records to determine transmission range and/or certain vehicle operating variables such as temperature, run time etc. This data can be useful in reproducing the failure mode where DTC was set.

Circuit Description Shift solenoid 2 (SS2) is a normally closed (N/C) solenoid that provides control main pressure to stroke shift valve 2 (SV2) to attain a particular range needed for the next upshift or downshift. A pressure switch is located at the end of the shift valve to send valve position status back to the TCM. The TCM sends control current to SS2 from high side driver 2 (HSD2) via wire 171. HSD2 is continuously ON unless the TCM detects a fault condition. The TCM regulates the amount of current to SS2 by switching SS2s low side driver ON and OFF. Wire 133 completes the circuit between SS2 and its low side driver. DTC P0977 indicates that the TCM processor has detected a short-to-battery condition in the low side of SS2s electrical circuit.

Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P0977 is set when the TCM detects a short-to-power on the SS2 circuit for more than 2 seconds. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P0977 is active, the following conditions will occur: If the failure occurs while in a forward range a shift to 1st, 3rd, or 5th range is made. While diagnostic response is active, if shift selector is moved to N (Neutral), transmission will shift to neutral; if the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), transmission shifts to neutral or reverse. If the shift selector is moved to D (Forward) range or R (Reverse) and transmission is compromised be overspeeding or direction change, transmission shifts to neutral. TCC engagement is inhibited. Main Modulation is inhibited. DTC is stored in TCM history. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy). The TCM freezes shift adapts (DNA).
Conditions for clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PCService Tool can be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids DTC P0977 indicates a short-to-battery in the electrical circuit for SS2. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault.

DTC P2637 Torque Management Feedback SignalSEM

Circuit Description Shift Energy Management (SEM) allows the Transmission Control Module (TCM) to request torque reduction from the engine controller. By reducing torque, shifts can be made quicker, at a more consistent output torque which reduces clutches temperatures and increases clutch life. Conditions for Running the DTC The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). Engine speed is greater than 200 rpm but less than 7500 rpm for 5 seconds. SEM is enabled in the calibration.
Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P2637 sets when the TCM detects one of the following conditions for a minimum of four up shifts (consecutive or non-consecutive) during one drive cycle: Engine ECM is not responding to SEM torque reduction signal request from the TCM. A non-approved J1939 device is interfering with the SEM torque reduction signal request. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P2637 is active, the following conditions will occur: The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). DTC is stored in TCM history.

Circuit Description High Side Driver 2 (HSD2) supplies battery voltage to the PCS2, SS1, SS2, SS3 solenoids via wire 171. HSD2 is continuously ON during normal operation except during brief circuit tests. The TCM regulates control current to the solenoids by switching the appropriate low-side driver ON and OFF. DTC P2670 indicates the TCM has detected that all solenoids connected to the HSD2 are inactive with a supply voltage in the HSD2 circuit of 6V or less. DTC P2670 indicates a short-to-ground has occurred in the high-side wiring attached to HSD2 (wire 171). Conditions for Running the DTC Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). HSD2 is commanded ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P2670 is set when the TCM detects all the solenoids connected to the HSD2 are inactive and the high side voltage is less then 6V. These conditions indicate a short-to-ground has occurred at the high side wire 171. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P2670 is active, the following conditions will occur: If the failure occurs while in a forward range a shift to rst, third, or fth range is made. While diagnostic response is active, if shift selector is moved to neutral, transmission will shift to neutral; if the shift selector is moved to reverse, transmission shifts to reverse. If the shift selector is moved to forward range or reverse and transmission is compromised be overspeeding or direction change, transmission shifts to neutral. TCC engagement is inhibited. Main Modulation is inhibited. DTC is stored in TCM history. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates.
Conditions for clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light The Allison DOC For PCService Tool can be used to clear the code from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids The High Side Drivers (HSD1 and HSD2) will reset opening the high side circuit whenever a short-to-ground is detected. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. Use the data obtained from failure records to determine transmission range and/or certain vehicle operating variables such as temperature, run time etc. This data can be useful in reproducing the failure mode when DTC was set. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM and transmission connector. Look for the following conditions:
A bent terminal A backed-out terminal A damaged terminal Poor terminal tension A chafed wire A broken wire inside the insulation
Inspect OEM wiring harness routing, look for possible contact points where chafng could occur leading to an open circuit condition.

Circuit Description Pressure Control Solenoid 1 (PCS1) is used to control on-coming, off-going, and holding pressure in any one of ve clutches. This solenoid is referred to as a Pressure Proportional to Current (PPC) solenoid since the output hydraulic pressure supplied by this solenoid is proportional to the controlled current command. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) uses information from the turbine and output speed sensors to detect if a clutch is slipping. The clutch being controlled by PCS1 will vary depending on the shift that is being completed. Conditions for Running the DTC The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). Turbine speed is greater than 60 rpm. Output speed is greater than 125 rpm. Transmission is at normal operating temperature. DTC P0708, P0716, P0717, P0721, P0722, P0877, or P0878 is not active.
Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P2723 sets when the TCM detects an incorrect oncoming ratio (range-to-range) for an accumulated number of occurrences. Action Taken When the DTC Sets When DTC P2723 is active, the following conditions will occur:
If failure occurs while in a forward range, the transmission will shift to the previous range. If failure occurs while in N (Neutral) or R (Reverse), the transmission will lock in N (Neutral). If the shift selector is moved to N (Neutral), the transmission will shift to N (Neutral) (some cases may
lock in N (Neutral)).

Diagnostic Aids This DTC indicates the on-coming clutch being controlled by PCS1 is not applied or applied too slowly. This could indicate a leak or obstruction in a specic clutch apply circuit. Check Allison DOC For PC Failure Record data for previous or current range information when the DTC was set to determine the specic shift when the DTC was set. Refer to the Solenoid and Clutch Table (Appendix C) to determine which clutch circuit is suspect. If the condition is intermittent, connect Allison DOC For PC and select the speed sensor indicated by the DTC. If the signal is erratic, investigate and eliminate the following:
Intermittent wiring connection Excessive vibration (driveline or engine torsionals) Irregular sensor gap (loose sensor, loose tone wheel, or damaged tone wheel)
NOTE:
Test Description The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 3. This step tests the ignition voltage. 4. This step tests for erratic speed sensor readings or signal dropout. 5. This step tests for internal hydraulic leakage. 6. This step tests for clutch capacity.

Perform the Allison Transmission Fluid Checking Procedure (Appendix R) and correct the uid level if necessary. Did you perform the procedure? 1. 2. 3. 4. Install Allison DOC. Start the engine. Record the DTC Failure Record data. Use the Failure Record data to determine during which shift the DTC was set. 5. Using Allison DOC, measure ignition voltage. Is voltage within the specied value?

Step 4 Action 1. Turn the ignition ON and drive the vehicle under normal operating conditions. Make the shift determined in Step 3. 2. Using Allison DOC, monitor turbine, engine, and output speed sensor readings. Is speed sensor data erratic or are dropouts in signal indicated? 1. Connect a 2000 kPa (300 psi) pressure gauge to the main-pressure tap (refer to Mechanics Tips). 2. Use Allison DOC, in clutch test mode, to cycle through all transmission ranges with the engine at idle and vehicle brakes applied. 3. Record main pressure in each range. Was the main pressure low in a specic range or in ranges where the same clutch was applied? CAUTION: Do not perform a clutch test on fourth and fth range under stall conditions (above 1400 rpm with brakes held), or possible clutch damage could occur. 1. Using Allison DOC, select the clutch test mode. 2. With engine at idle speed, vehicle brakes applied, select D (Drive). 3. Using clutch test mode, select and attain rst range. Turbine speed should go to zero. 4. Increase engine speed to 1400 rpm. Did turbine speed remain at zero? 5. Return to idle and repeat sub-steps 3 and 4 for 2nd through 5th range. Did turbine speed remain at zero in all ranges? Remove the dipstick and inspect the transmission uid for clutch debris or burnt odor. If necessary, drain a small amount of uid for this inspection. Are there signs of a clutch failure? Remove the transmission for overhaul or replacement. Is the overhaul or replacement complete? Inspect the control valve body for stuck or sticking trimmer valves (refer to Mechanics Tips). Was a valve problem found and repaired? Replace PCS3. Is solenoid replacement complete? In order to verify your repair: 1. Clear the DTC. 2. Use Allison DOC to reset adaptive for all shifts. 3. Operate the vehicle in all ranges under normal driving conditions. Did the DTC return?

Circuit Description Pressure Control Solenoid 1 (PCS1) is used to control on-coming, off-going, and holding pressure in any one of ve clutches. This solenoid is referred to as a Pressure Proportional to Current (PPC) solenoid since the output hydraulic pressure supplied by this solenoid is proportional to the controlled current command. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) uses information from the turbine and output speed sensors to detect if a clutch is in a tie-up condition or 3 clutches are applied. The clutch being controlled by PCS1 will vary depending on the shift. Conditions for Running the DTC The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM).

Circuit Description Pressure Control Solenoid 1 (PCS1) is a Pressure Proportional to Current (PPC) solenoid used to control oncoming and off-going and holding pressure to any one of ve clutches. The TCM sends control current to PCS1 from high side driver 1 (HSD1) via wire 111. HSD1 is continuously ON unless the TCM detects a fault condition. The TCM regulates the amount of current to PCS1 by switching PCS1s low side driver ON and OFF. Wire 155 completes the circuit between PCS1 and its low side driver. DTC P2727 indicates that the TCM processor has detected an open condition in PCS1s electrical circuit. The open condition may exist in the high side (wire 111) or low side (wire 155).
5345

Conditions for Running the DTC Associated high side driver (HSD1) is enabled and no (HSD1) DTCs are active. Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V or less than 32V (24V TCM). TCM initialization is in process or engine speed is greater than 200 rpm and less than 7500 rpm for 5 seconds. Engine crank time is not extended. Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P2727 is set when the TCM detects an open circuit on the PCS1 circuit for more than 2 seconds. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P2727 is active, the following conditions will occur: If the failure occurs while in a forward range a shift to 1st, 3rd, or 5th range is made. While diagnostic response is active, if shift selector is moved to N (Neutral), transmission will shift to neutral; if the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), transmission shifts to reverse. If the shift selector is moved to D (Forward) range or R (Reverse) and transmission is compromised be overspeeding or direction change, transmission shifts to neutral. DTC is stored in TCM history. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy).
Conditions for clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PCService Tool can be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids DTC P2727 indicates an open in the electrical circuit for PCS1. In addition to PCS1, high side driver HSD1 also supplies power to the Main Mod and TCC solenoids. If DTC P2727 is accompanied by P0960 (Main Mod open circuit) and/or P2761 (TCC open circuit), the open is most likely in the high side of the circuit. An intermittent circuit condition can allow this DTC to set. Make sure you check for the following conditions at the OEM harness rst, then at the transmission internal harness. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM connector and the transmission main connector. Look for the following conditions:
Inspect OEM wiring harness routing, look for possible contact points where chang could occur leading to an open circuit condition. Moving parts on the vehicle could be contacting the harness; this includes parking brake drum, suspension components, transmission shift linkage, etc. Inspect internal transmission harness wiring for possible contact areas where chang may occur leading to an open circuit condition.
5346

When diagnosing for an intermittent open condition, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. It may be necessary to check continuity at individual wires within a harness to isolate an intermittent open condition. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. Use the data obtained from failure records to determine transmission range and/or certain vehicle operating variables such as temperature, run time etc. This data can be useful in reproducing the failure mode where DTC was set.

1. Install Allison DOC. 2. Start the engine. 3. Record the DTC Failure Record data. 4. Monitor ignition voltage. Is the voltage within the specied values? 1. Clear the DTC. 2. Start the engine and test-drive the vehicle. 3. Attempt to duplicate the same conditions observed in the failure records (range attained, temperature, etc.). NOTE: This DTC is intended to detect an open condition in the PCS1 electrical circuit. Did DTC P2727 return?

Circuit Description TCC Pressure Control Solenoid is a Pressure Proportional to Current (PPC) solenoid used to control the torque converter clutch apply and release. The TCM sends control current to solenoid TCC from high side driver 1 (HSD1) via wire 111. HSD1 is continuously ON unless the TCM detects a fault condition. The TCM regulates the amount of current to TCC by switching TCCs low side driver ON and OFF. Wire 178 completes the circuit between TCC and its low side driver. DTC P2761 indicates that the TCM processor has detected an open condition in solenoid TCCs electrical circuit. The open condition may exist in the high side (wire 111) or low side (wire 178).

Conditions for Running the DTC DTC P0122, P0123, P0716, P0717, P0721, P0722 are not active. Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V or less than 32V (24V TCM). TCM initialization is in process or engine speed is greater than 200 rpm and less than 7500 rpm for 5 seconds. TCC is commanded on.
Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC P2761 is set when the TCM detects an open circuit on the TCC Pressure Control Solenoid return circuit for more than 6 seconds. Actions taken when the DTC Sets When DTC P2761 is active, the following conditions will occur: DTC is stored in TCM history. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates on the second occurrence (OBD II Strategy). Reverse operation is disabled.
Conditions for clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PCService Tool can be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids Code P2761 indicates an open in the electrical circuit for the TCC solenoid. In addition to TCC, high side driver HSD1 also supplies power to solenoids PCS1 and Main Mod. If DTC P2761 is accompanied by DTC P0960 (Main Mod open circuit) and/or DTC P2727 (PCS1 open circuit), the open is most likely in the high side of the circuit. When this DTC is set there can be a noticeable reduction of engine performance. An intermittent circuit condition can allow this DTC to set. Make sure you check for the following conditions at the OEM harness rst, then at the transmission internal harness. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM connector and the transmission main connector. Look for the following conditions:
Inspect OEM wiring harness routing, look for possible contact points where chang could occur leading to an open circuit condition. Moving parts on the vehicle could be contacting the harness; this includes parking brake drum, suspension components, transmission shift linkage etc. Inspect internal transmission harness wiring for possible contact areas where chang may occur leading to an open circuit condition.
5360

When diagnosing for an intermittent open condition, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. It may be necessary to check continuity at individual wires within a harness to isolate an intermittent open condition. You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a fault. Use the data obtained from failure records to determine transmission range and/or certain vehicle operating variables such as temperature, run time etc. This data can be useful in reproducing the failure mode where DTC was set.

Circuit Description The Controller Area Network (CAN) dened by SAE J1939 allows the integration of various vehicle components into an overall vehicle system by providing a standard way of exchanging information between the various modules used in a vehicle. Use of a J1939 network, or data link, for on-vehicle communication reduces the amount of wiring in a vehicle, and allows the many different components and subsystems access to a wider range of information. Allison utilizes the J1939 communication link for vehicle operation controls, power train interaction, and conveying vehicle management information. Conditions for Running the DTC Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V or less than 32V (24V TCM). Engine speed is greater than 200 rpm and less than 7500 rpm for 5 seconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC U0010 is set when the TCM detects no communication on the Controller Area Network (CAN) backbone harness for 3 seconds or more. This indicates that the CAN communication has reset due to a short-to-ground or power on wires 108 or 128.

Actions taken when the DTC Sets The TCM does not illuminate the CHECK TRANS light (Non-OBD II Strategy). The MIL illuminates (OBD II Strategy). DTC U0010 is stored in the TCM history. TCM defaults to last used adaptive shift values and engine throttle percentage is calculated from torque converter slip speed. TCM inhibits shift adapts (DNA).
Conditions for clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PCService Tool can be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids If an active U0010 is present, Allison DOC For PC communication will not be possible. If only intermittent communication is possible at the 9-pin vehicle diagnostic connector, install J 47276 T Breakout and TCM Reashing Harness at the TCM 80-way connector (do not reconnect vehicle harness 80-way harness).
Connect J 42455 load box at J 47276 T Breakout and TCM Reashing Harness 37-pin AMP connector. Supply 12V at J 42455 load box to power up the TCM. Connect Allison DOC For PC interface device at J 47276 T Breakout and TCM Reashing Harness
9-pin connector. This setup allows communication directly to TCM. If no communication is available replace the TCM with a known good module. Test again (refer to Section 5 for complete T harness hook-up information). Install J 47276 T Breakout and TCM Reashing Harness at the TCM 80-way connector. Do not reconnect vehicle harness 80-way harness. 1. Connect J 42455 load box at J 47276 T Breakout and TCM Reashing Harness 37-pin AMP connector. 2. Supply 12V at J 42455 load box to power up the TCM. 3. Connect Allison DOC For PCService tool interface device at J 42455 load box. 4. This conguration should allow communication directly with the TCM, if no communication is available replace the TCM with a known good module. Test again. Refer to Section 5 for complete T harness hook-up information. Systematically disconnecting modules on the CAN data bus until communication is established with Allison DOC For PCService tool may be useful in determining that an individual module is causing a short on the CAN data bus.
A short between wires 108 and 128 within the CAN harness could allow this DTC to set. A short between wires 128 and 149 within the CAN harness could allow this DTC to set. A short to a vehicle ground and wire 128 could allow this DTC to set. A short to vehicle power and wires 108 or 128 could allow this DTC to set.
For proper data communications it is necessary to have two 120 Ohms resistors installed in parallel at the J 1939 CAN backbone harness ends, this can be done externally or internally at the control module or TCM, depending on the OEMs conguration. The only way to determine the proper CAN conguration is to refer to specic vehicle wiring schematics from OEM.

The CAN backbone harness can be congured in one of three different ways: 1. Traditional Stub Interface, in this set-up the terminating resistors are located externally at the end stubs of the CAN backbone harness. 2. Pass Through Interface, in this set-up the OEM can eliminate the TCM stub connection.

When diagnosing for an intermittent short-to-ground or power, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. It may be necessary to check for shorts at individual wires within a harness to isolate an intermittent condition. Refer to Section 4, Wire Check Procedures. You may have to drive the vehicle on rough roads to determine if the problem occurs with vibration or under specic driving conditions, left or right hand turns, etc. Use the data obtained from failure records to determine transmission range and/or certain vehicle operating variables such as temperature, run time etc. This data can be useful in reproducing failures mode where DTC was set. If this DTC is present in new vehicle, harsh shifting may occur due to adaptive (DNA) function inhibit.

Circuit Description SAE J2284 or CAN 2 is an option that allows the integration of high speed (500K baud) communication and is currently only for GM LAN applications. If any of the CAN circuits are shorted-to-battery voltage, ground, or between them, no communication is possible on the CAN serial data bus, and a DTC U0073 is set. For medium duty applications J2284 CAN 2 communication can be used to perform TCM recalibration via PCCS Load Station. Conditions for Running the DTC The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V and less than 32V (24V TCM). Engine speed is greater than 200 rpm and less than 7500 rpm for 5 seconds. Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC U0073 is set when the TCM detects no communication on the Controller Area Network (CAN) backbone harness for 3 seconds or more. This indicates that the CAN communication has reset due to a short-to-ground or power on CAN 2 high or low wires. Action Taken When the DTC Sets The TCM does not illuminate the CHECK TRANS light (Non-OBD II Strategy). The TCM does not illuminate the MIL (OBD II Strategy). DTC U0073 is stored in the TCM history. The TCM defaults to the last-used adaptive shift values and engine throttle percentage is calculated from torque converter slip speed. The TCM inhibits shift adapts (DNA). Conditions for Clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC For PCService Tool may be used to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without the DTC recurring.

Diagnostic Aids When an U0073 is active no communication will be possible at the OBD II vehicle diagnostic connector. Install J 47276 T Breakout and TCM Reashing Harness only at the TCM 80-way connector. Connect J 42455 load box at J 47276 T Breakout and TCM Reashing Harness 37-pin AMP connector. Supply 12V at J 42455 load box to power up the TCM. Connect Allison DOC For PCService Tool interface device at the OBD II connector supplied on the J 47276 T Breakout and TCM Reashing Harness. This setup allows communication directly to TCM, if no communication is available replace the TCM with a known good module. Test again. Refer to Section 5 for complete T harness hook-up information. By systematically disconnecting modules on the CAN data bus until communication is established with the Allison DOC For PCService Tool, may be useful in determining that an individual module is causing a short on the CAN data bus. A short between wires 106 and 127 within the CAN harness could allow this DTC to set. A short between wires 127 and 167 within the CAN harness could allow this DTC to set. A short to a vehicle ground and wire 106 or 127 could allow this DTC to set. A short to vehicle power and wires 106 or 127 could allow this DTC to set. For proper data communications it is necessary to have two 120 Ohms resistors installed in parallel at the J 2284 CAN 2 backbone harness ends, this can be done externally or internally at the control module or TCM depending on the OEMs conguration. The only way to determine the proper CAN conguration is to refer to specic vehicle wiring schematics from OEM.
If only intermittent communication is possible at the 9-pin vehicle diagnostic connector, install J 47276 T Breakout and TCM Reashing Harness at the TCM 80-way connector (do not reconnect vehicle harness 80-way harness). Connect J 42455 load box at J 47276 T Breakout and TCM Reashing Harness 37-pin AMP connector. Supply 12V at J 42455 load box to power up the TCM. Connect Allison DOC For PCService Tool interface device at J 47276 T Breakout and TCM Reashing Harness 9-pin connector.
This setup allows communication directly to TCM. If no communication is available replace the TCM with a known good module. Test again (refer to Section 5 for complete T harness hook-up information). The CAN2 backbone harness can be congured in one of three different ways: 1. Traditional Stub Interface, in this set-up the terminating resistors are located externally at the end stubs of the CAN backbone harness. 2. Pass Through Interface, in this set-up the OEM can eliminate the TCM stub connection. This setup allows the CAN wiring to enter the TCM on one set of pins and continues out through a second set of pins, eliminating the TCM stub connector. Two terminating resistors are still located externally on the end stubs.

3. Backbone termination, this set-up allows the elimination of one of the two external termination resistors. With the addition of a jumper wire between the TCM terminals 106 and 126, an internal TCM 120 Ohm resistor is wired in parallel between the CAN high and low wires. Refer to Appendix P, J1939 and J 2284 for detailed CAN backbone option drawings. Temporary Backbone If available, to determine who owns the problem, and after receiving the proper authorization from the OEM. Connecting a temporary backbone between the engine and the transmission can be used to identify the source of the concern. NOTE: This procedure is not covered under Allison warranty and must be authorized and covered by the vehicle or engine OEM.
Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM. Look for the following conditions: A bent terminal A backed-out terminal A damaged terminal Poor terminal tension A chafed wire A broken wire inside the insulation. When diagnosing for an intermittent short-to-ground or power, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. It may be necessary to check for shorts at individual wires within a harness to isolate an intermittent condition. Refer to Section 4, Wire Check Procedures.

Reashing Harness 9-pin connector. This setup allows communication directly to TCM. If no communication is available replace the TCM with a known good module. Test again (refer to Section 5 for complete T harness hook-up information). When Allison DOC For PCService Tool communication with the TCM can be established at the vehicle OBD II diagnostic connector and the U0100 is active, generally it points to an open connection at high or low wires at the ECM/PCM or terminal in the wrong location at the engine ECM connector. For proper data communications it is necessary to have two 120 Ohms resistors installed in parallel at the CAN 2 backbone harness ends, this can be done externally or internally at the control module or TCM depending on the OEMs conguration.

The Data bus viewer option in Allison DOC For PCService Tool can be used to view different modules that may be located between the ninepin diagnostic connector and the engine ECM/PCM. By comparing which modules are still communicating on the data link often times an open condition can be tracked to a specic portion of the CAN2 data link (refer to Appendix SAE J1939 Message and Parameter Received Overview to determine proper message and parameter received).

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM. Look for the following conditions: A bent terminal A backed-out terminal A damaged terminal Poor terminal tension A chafed wire A broken wire inside the insulation. When diagnosing for an intermittent open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. It may be necessary to check for opens at individual wires within a harness to isolate an intermittent condition. Refer to Section 4, Wire Check Procedures.

Circuit Description The Controller Area Network (CAN) dened by SAE J1939 allows the integration of various vehicle components into an overall vehicle system by providing a standard way of exchanging information between the various modules used in a vehicle. Use of a J1939 network, or data link, for on-vehicle communication reduces the amount of wiring in a vehicle, and allows the many different components and subsystems access to a wider range of information. Allison utilizes the J1939 communication link for vehicle operation controls, power train interaction, and conveying vehicle management information There are two versions of J1939 currently in use on1000 and 2000 Product Families transmissions, version J1939-11, the most widely used, which incorporates a shield wire and J1939-15, which uses a two-wire connection without shielding. For proper J1939 communication to occur there must be two terminating resistors included in the CAN backbone at the ends of the network, each of these resistors are 120 Ohms and placed in parallel between the high and low CAN wires. OEMs have two options available for CAN wiring: (1) Two externally mounted 120 Ohm resistors. (2) One internal 120 Ohm resistor contained inside the TCM, to use this option a jump wire must be added between TCM pins 107 and 148 the other resistor can be either inside another module or externally mounted.

Conditions for Running the DTC Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM) or greater than 18V or less than 32V (24V TCM). Engine speed is greater than 200 rpm and less than 7500 rpm for 5 seconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC U0115 is set when the TCM detects that no engine torque or throttle messages are being received on the Controller Area Network (CAN) backbone harness for 3 seconds or more. Actions taken when the DTC Sets The TCM does not illuminate the CHECK TRANS light (Non-OBD II Strategy). The TCM does not illuminate the MIL (OBD II Strategy). DTC U0115 is stored in the TCM history. TCM defaults to last used adaptive shift values and engine throttle percentage is calculated from torque converter slip speed. TCM inhibits shift adapts (DNA).

Reashing Harness 9-pin connector. This setup allows communication directly to TCM. If no communication is available replace the TCM with a known good module. Test again (refer to Section 5 for complete T harness hook-up information). When Allison DOC For PCService Tool communication with the TCM can be established at the nine pin vehicle diagnostic connector and the U0115 is active, generally it points to an open connection at wires 108, 128, or 148 at the ECM/PCM or terminal in the wrong location at the engine ECM connector. Engine ECM/PCM parameters improperly set can cause this DTC to set. If DTC U0115 has recently become active shortly AFTER an engine update and the rest of the troubleshooting procedures for U0115 has been performed then see Resetting of TCM Parameters to Support Engine Update Section 37. Vehicles that use SEM/LRTP may set a DTC U0115 when engine performance complaints are present, this may include injector concerns that could allow an engine default to a fail safe mode. Some engine manufacturers may interrupt engine torque messaging, which will allow a DTC U0115 to set. Inspect the

engine side for possible engine DTCs that may indicate this concern is present and correct before performing further troubleshooting on a DTC U0115. For proper data communications it is necessary to have two 120 Ohms resistors installed in parallel at the J 1939 CAN backbone harness ends, this can be done externally or internally at the control module or TCM depending on the OEMs conguration.

Intermittent cycling of the TCC could indicate a J1939 wiring problem exists. It is possible to have an open condition at the CAN backbone harness allowing TCC to cycle without an U0115 setting. For an U0115 to set, an open condition needs to be present for 3 seconds. If this DTC is present in new vehicle, harsh shifting may occur due to adaptive (DNA) function inhibit.

DTC U0442 Invalid Data Received from ECM/PCM B (CAN1/J1939)
Circuit Description The Controller Area Network (CAN) dened by SAE J1939 allows the integration of various vehicle components into an overall vehicle system by providing a standard way of exchanging information between the various modules used in a vehicle. Use of a J1939 network, or data link, for on-vehicle communication reduces the amount of wiring in a vehicle, and allows the many different components and subsystems access to a wider range of information. Allison uses the J1939 communication link for vehicle operation controls, power train interaction, and conveying vehicle management information. Conditions for Running the DTC Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V for 12V TCM or greater than 18V or less than 32V for 24V TCM. J1939 EC1 engine controller message is available.
Conditions for Setting the DTC DTC U0442 is set when engine temperature is above 60C and the TCM has learned initial engine torque and power limits, then broadcasted max torque indicates a value under 135.6 lb ft (100 Nm) of previous learned max values or max peak power values are 38 Kw under previous learned max power values. Actions taken when the DTC Sets The CHECK TRANS light is not illuminated DTC U0442 is stored in the TCM history. Substitute percent load for throttle pedal and/or adjust shift schedule.
Conditions for clearing the DTC/CHECK TRANS Light Allison DOC can be used to clear the code from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure. Diagnostic Aids Since this DTC did not return, the engine conditions that were previously present have not been reproduced. To verify engine concern return vehicle to OEM to check for historic engine DTCs that may indicate if de-rate was due to overtemp condition or engine component failure. Test Description 2. This step checks if the DTC is active.

Step 2 Action 1. With the Allison DOC connected, start the engine. 2. Clear the DTC and drive vehicle to see if DTC returns. NOTE: DTC U0442 indicates that the TCM is receiving a reduced engine torque curve when compared with previously broadcasted values (if enabled in calibration). This indicates an engine concern has de-rated engine torque and/or power to prevent engine damage. Did DTC U0442 return? DTC U0442 indicates that the engine controller has reduced engine torque and power output to prevent engine damage. When this DTC is active, this indicates that an engine concern is still present and the vehicle must be returned to the OEM for troubleshooting. Did the OEM repair the engine concern? In order to verify your repair: 1. Clear the DTC. 2. Conrm with Allison DOC in the test passed section that the diagnostic test was run. Did the DTC return?

SECTION 6INPUT AND OUTPUT FUNCTIONS

61. SPECIAL INPUT AND OUTPUT FUNCTIONS
Each transmission control system provides additional functional control of transmission and/or vehicle operations tailored to the expected duty of the vehicle. Specic vocational requirements can be satised using input and output functions. Although these features may be used independently to control the function of the TCM, they can be combined to provide more comprehensive vehicle control functions. An example of the combined use of input and output functions is the combination of control signals which automatically commands the transmission to neutral when a PTO is operated. NOTE: Wiring diagrams for input and output functions are shown in Appendix N. A. Input Functions Input functions are control signals that send vehicle data to the TCM to designate the operating state of other vehicle systems. Ground input control wires activate the programmed function when the input wire is switched to an isolated circuit ground. Power input control wires activate the programmed function when the input wire is switched to 12V or 24V power, or a signal can be sent via the J1939 communication link. Typical input functions are:

Secondary Shift Schedule PTO Enable Auxiliary Function Range Inhibit Engine Brake Enable and Preselect Request Automatic NeutralSingle Input Reverse Enable Anti-lock Brake Response Service Brake Status Kickdown Refuse Packer Step Switch Overdrive Disable 3rd Lockup Pump Mode Transfer Case Low Grade Braking Enable Crank Input
B.
Output Functions Output function signals send data from the TCM for use in controlling the operation of nontransmission components. As determined by programmed logic or attainment of preselected conditions, the TCM activates the appropriate output control wire (the circuit goes from OPEN to GROUND). This energizes a customer-supplied relay or switch to complete the external vehicle circuit. A J1939 message can be used as an alternative to actuate certain output functions. The output functions may be turned on and off based on the state of the input function signals and the operating state of the transmission. Typical output functions are:

Engine Brake Enable Sump/Retarder Temperature Indicator Range Indicator Output Speed Indicator A Output Speed Indicator B PTO Enable Lockup Indicator Trailering Mode Indicator Overdrive Disable Indicator

APPENDIX ADIAGNOSING INTERMITTENT DTCS

Intermittent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are a result of faults that are detected, logged, and then disappear, only to recur later. If, when troubleshooting, a DTC is cleared in anticipation of it recurring and it does not, check the items in the following list for the faults source. A. Circuit Inspection Intermittent power/ground problemscan cause voltage problems during TCM diagnostic checks which can set various DTCs depending upon where the TCM was in the diagnostic process.

Damaged terminals. Dirty or corroded terminals. Terminals not fully seated in the connector. Check indicated wires by uncoupling connector and gently pulling on the wire at the rear of the connector and checking for excessive terminal movement. Connectors not fully mated. Check for missing or damaged locktabs. Screws or other sharp pointed objects pushed into or through one of the harnesses. Harnesses which have rubbed through and may be allowing intermittent electrical contact between two wires or between wires and vehicle frame members. Broken wires within the braiding and insulation.
B.
Finding an Intermittent Fault Condition To nd a fault, like one of those listed, examine all connectors and the external wiring harnesses. Harness routing may make it difcult to see or feel the complete harness. However, it is important to thoroughly check each harness for chafed or damaged areas. Road vibrations and bumps can damage a poorly installed harness by moving it against sharp edges and cause some of the faults. If a visual inspection does not identify a cause, move and wiggle the harness by hand until the fault is duplicated. The next most probable cause of an intermittent DTC is an electronic part exposed to excessive vibration, heat, or moisture. Examples of this are:

Exposed harness wires subjected to moisture. A defective connector seal allows moisture to enter the connector or part. An electronic part (TCM, solenoid, or throttle sensor) affected by vibration, heat, or moisture may cause abnormal electrical conditions within the part.
When troubleshooting Item 3, eliminate all other possible causes before replacing any parts. Another cause of intermittent DTCs is good parts in an abnormal environment. The abnormal environment will usually include excessive heat, moisture, or voltage. For example, a TCM that receives excessive voltage will generate a diagnostic code as it senses high voltage in a circuit. The DTC may not be repeated consistently because different circuits may have this condition on each check. The last step in nding an intermittent DTC is to observe if the DTC is set during sudden changes in the operating environment. Troubleshooting an intermittent DTC requires looking for common conditions that are present whenever the DTC is diagnosed. Use the failure record information from the scan tool to identify the conditions when the DTC was set.

APPENDIX ADIAGNOSING INTERMITTENT DTCS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

C. Recurring Conditions A recurring condition might be:

Rain Outside temperature above or below a certain temperature Only on right-hand or left-hand turns When the vehicle hits a bump, etc.
If such a condition can be related to the DTC, it is easier to nd the cause. If the time between DTC occurrences is very short, troubleshooting is easier than if it is several weeks or more between DTC occurrences.
Repair parts for the internal wiring harness will be available through the Allison Transmission Parts Distribution Center (PDC). Use the P/N from your appropriate parts catalog or from Appendix E in this manual. Allison Transmission is responsible for warranty on these parts. Repair parts for the external harnesses and external harness components must be obtained through the vehicle OEM and the OEM is responsible for warranty on these parts.

APPENDIX BMAIN PRESSURE CHECK PROCEDURE

B1. MAIN PRESSURE CHECK PROCEDURE
Checking main pressures helps to determine if a transmission malfunction is due to a mechanical or an electrical problem. Properly making these pressure checks requires transmission and vehicle (or test stand) preparation, recording of data, and comparing recorded data against specications provided.
MAIN PRESSURE TAP
BOTTOM VIEW
V05742
Figure B1. Main Pressure Check Point
WARNING!
Observe safety precautions during hydraulic pressure check procedures. All personnel must stand clear of the vehicle. Take precautions against movement of the vehicle. Be sure that gauges (vacuum, pressure, and tachometer) have extended lines so that they can be read from inside the vehicle.
All transmission uid level and pressure checks must be made at normal operating temperatures 7193C (160200F) sump; 82104C (180220F) converter-out. Check transmission uid level. 1. Connect a 02070 kPa (0300 psi) oil pressure gauge at the main pressure tap (refer to Figure B1). Use Allison DOC to check engine rpm. See Table B1 for main pressure levels. 2. Disconnect the driveshaft. 3. With brakes applied, check main pressure with the engine running at 2100 rpm and 600 rpm. 4. Continue the procedure for all ranges.

APPENDIX CSOLENOID AND CLUTCH TABLE

C1. SOLENOID AND CLUTCH TABLE
Normal operation of the transmission requires application of two clutches to attain a forward or reverse range. A unique combination of solenoid and shift valve actuation produces clutch application in a given range. Table C1 lists the transmission range shifts, the clutches that are applied in each range, and the electrical state (ON/OFF) of each solenoid for each range. Table C1. Solenoid and Clutch Table

Insert a small blade screwdriver through the slot in the connector body (being careful not to damage the blue interfacial seal) and apply upward pressure on the red spacer until the spacer lifts to the pre-stage location (approximately 1/8 inch). Carefully continue to evenly lift the red spacer out of the connector body until the four lock arms release. Remove the red spacer and set aside for later use. (The spacer must be replaced if any of the four lock arms is broken during removal.) 6. Insert metal blade of J 38125-12A or J 39227 removal tool into front of connector body at desired terminal/wire lead cavity location (refer to Figures E2A and E2B). 7. Apply pressure to the terminal locking nger (part of connector body) with removal tool. 8. Remove the selected terminal by lifting the locking nger and pulling the wire and terminal rearward out of the connector. NOTE: Care should be taken not to damage or break the terminal locking finger during removal. If the locking finger is damaged or broken, proper terminal retention will be lost after reassembly. 9. Take note of what wire (number) goes to what terminal cavity in connector body for reassembly. D. Terminal Crimping 1. Lift the wire stop blades in the up position. 2. Insert the terminal fully into the correct die prole and the locator slot until the terminal is fully seated and stops. 3. Bring down the wire stop blades. Make sure the wire stop blades are fully seated on the terminal behind the conductor grip section. 4. Strip the wire to a strip length of 4.705.60 mm. 5. Slide the pre-stripped wire into the terminal; make sure to aim the wire brush towards the tip point on the wire stop blade. Align the wire so that it is parallel and sitting into the terminal. Maintain a light and constant pressure on the wire that is seated in the terminal at all times. 6. (Do not release the wire.) Be sure to hold the wire and terminal in place until the terminal is fully crimped. 7. Close the tool until the ratchet releases. 8. Lift the wire stop blades up. 9. Carefully remove the crimped terminal.
E14

D. Terminal Crimping (contd) 10. Insert the new terminal through the grommet at the back of the connector body. Push on the wire until the terminal is completely in the cavity. The locking nger in the connector body should engage the terminal, which should stay in place when the wire is lightly pulled. NOTE: If cavities do not have a terminal/wire lead or grommet cover pin (or if grommet cover pin is damaged) install cavity plug #12034413 into corresponding cavity in grommet seal in connector body. 11. Install wire dress cover on connector body. 12. Install convolute over wire leads while placing convolute into wire dress cover grooves and snap convolute capture into place. Procedure for proper mating of the 80-way cam lever connector to the TCM 1. Bring the connector to the TCM squared-up (not at an angle). 2. Squarely press the connector onto the TCM until the cam handle moves of its own accord (about 3/4 inch travel). This is known as a prestage. 3. Gently move the cam handle to the locked position. 4. Engage the connector position assurance slide.

APPENDIX FTHROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT

F1. TPS ADJUSTMENT
A. Description of Operation 1. To properly communicate throttle position to the TCM, the throttle position sensor must convert mechanical movement to an electrical form the TCM can understand. To accomplish this, contacts move across a resistive strip inside the sensor which translates position into voltage (refer to Figure F1).
THROTTLE POSITION LINKAGE CONTACTS RESISTIVE STRIP
V00656.01
Figure F1. Throttle Position-to-Voltage Conversion
2. Each position gives a different voltage. The TCM then converts this voltage into throttle percent. Each millimeter of travel converts to approximately 0.110 volts. Figure F2 diagrams the voltage and throttle movement relationship.

3. Throttle percent is proportional to the amount of travel of the throttle position sensor. Therefore a small amount of travel corresponds to a low throttle percentage, and a large amount of travel corresponds to a high throttle percentage (refer to Table F1). 4. The throttle position sensor is self-calibrating within its normal range of operation. Each time the vehicle is started and the TCM is initialized, the idle position that is stored for closed throttle is increased from its previous lowest reading. Also, the wide open throttle position is reduced from its previous highest reading. Once the new position is read from the TPS, the idle and wide open throttle set points are continuously readjusted to the lowest and highest points, respectively. This compensates for fuel control system wear or previous mechanical adjustment. One area of particular concern is when the throttle sensor extends into the error zone. This indicates a TPS misadjustment to the TCM, and 100 percent throttle is assumed until readjustment is performed. Simply clearing the DTC will not resolve the situation; use the Scan Tool to reset the TPS calibrations after a TPS adjustment. B. Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Adjustment When properly installed by the equipment manufacturer (refer to Figure F3), the TPS should not require adjustment. Conrm that the throttle sensor is installed to manufacturer specications before adjusting the throttle position sensor. The idle position should be approximately 8.9 mm or 0.98 volts or higher, and the full throttle position should be approximately 35.7 mm or 3.921 volts or lower. The TPS is self-calibrating, meaning there is no optimum closed throttle or wide open position. As long as the travel is within the 8.535.7 mm range the TPS is set properly. A total stroke of 15.222.9 mm must be maintained. Watch the movement of the throttle sensor as the controls move it through the full stroke. Make certain the idle and full throttle positions are not in the error zones (refer to Figure F2). The error zones occur when the idle position is less than 2.5 mm, or when the full throttle position is more than 40.6 mm. When idle or wide open throttle positions are in the error zones, the TCM will log a code. When a TPS code is logged the TCM assumes a default throttle setting which will negatively affect shift quality. NOTE: Use J 39700 Breakout Box and J 47275 TCM Breakout Harness Adapter for measuring voltages.

APPENDIX GWELDING ON VEHICLE/VEHICLE INTERFACE

G1. WELDING ON VEHICLE
When frame or other welding is required on the vehicle, take the following precautions to protect the electronic control components: 1. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors at the transmission control module (TCM). 2. Disconnect the positive and negative battery connections, and any electronic control ground wires connected to the frame or chassis. 3. Cover electronic control components and wiring to protect them from hot sparks, etc. 4. Do not connect welding cables to electronic control components.
WARNING!
Do not jump start a vehicle with arc welding equipment. Arc welding equipments dangerously high currents and voltages cannot be reduced to safe levels.

APPENDIX LELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE

L1. ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)/RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)
All electrical and electronic systems generate electromagnetic elds that can interfere with other electronic systems. Allison Transmission electronic transmission controls comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations and other guidelines concerning emitted radio frequency interference for transportation electronics. The position of Allison Transmission is that manufacturers and installers of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)/Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) emitting equipment are responsible for adhering to FCC regulations and other guidelines concerning emitted radio frequency interference for transportation electronics. Some radio-telephone or two-way communication radios (land-mobile radio), or the manner in which they are installed, can adversely affect vehicle operation or be affected by other vehicle components. Expenses incurred to protect vehicle-related systems from EMI/RFI emissions by radio-telephone or two-way communications radios (land-mobile radio) or to integrate such devices into vehicles are not the responsibility of Allison Transmission.
L2.
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR RADIO EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
The following general guidelines for installing radio-telephone or two-way communications radios (land-mobile radio) in a vehicle supplement, but DO NOT replace, detailed instructions provided by the radio equipment manufacturer. Detailed installation instructions are the sole responsibility of the radio equipment manufacturer. Experience has shown that most EMI/RFI problems can be prevented or eliminated by following the guidelines. If EMI/RFI problems persist after following the guidelines and after making sure the installation conforms to the guidelines, contact the vehicle and radio equipment manufacturers for additional installation or equipment operation instructions. A. Transmitter Installation 1. Locate remote radio transmitters as far away from other electronic devices and as near to the side of the vehicle body as possible. 2. Mount transceivers (transmitter and receiver in one box) under the dash so as not to interfere with vehicle controls or passenger movement. B. Antenna Installation Each vehicle and body style reacts differently to radio frequency energy. When dealing with an unfamiliar vehicle, test various antenna locations by using a magnetic mount antenna and checking for adverse effects. Antenna location is a major factor in EMI/RFI problems. C. Antenna Cable Routing 1. Use high quality, 95 percent shield coverage, coaxial (coax) cable. Route the coax well away from any electronic components. 2. Route antenna cables as far away from vehicle wiring as possible to reduce the likelihood of the vehicle wiring acting as an antenna for interference.

APPENDIX LELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE

D. Radio Wiring and Connector Location 1. Connect transmitter power leads directly to the battery. 2. For transceivers (transmitter and receiver in one box) with ignition control, place a 12V power contactor at the vehicle battery. Drive the contactor coil, through an appropriate in-line fuse, from an ignition circuit not powered during engine cranking. 3. Any negative lead from a handset or control unit must return to battery negative. 4. Connect the positive lead from a handset or control unit directly to battery. 5. Fuse handset or control unit positive and negative leads separately from the transceiver negative and positive leads. Use correctly rated fuses. E. Power and Ground Wire Routing Route radio power and ground wires as far away as possible from electronic control modules. F. Troubleshooting The following are common causes of EMI/RFI problems:

Power leads connected to points other than the battery Improper antenna location Poor shielding or connections to antenna cable Transmitter or transceiver wiring too close to vehicle electronics
L3.
EXTERNALLY-GENERATED SPEED SENSOR SIGNALS

A. Checking for Externally-Generated Speed Sensor Signals Use the following procedures to determine if speed sensor signals generated by a source external to the transmission or wiring harness are present: 1. Turn the ignition ON. 2. Keep the engine OFF. 3. If the TCM is ON, connect Allison DOC For PC.
NOTE: If false speed signals were present at the previous shutdown, the TCM might still be ON even though the ignition is OFF. Allison DOC For PC is powered by ignition power so the ignition must be ON to use Allison DOC For PC to read the speed signals. 4. Read the speed sensor signals. 5. If a speed sensor signal is other than one (1), then there is a short to another circuit that is carrying an AC or PWM signal. 6. Check resistance of the sensor. 7. Check for shorts to other circuits within the harness or transmission connector. 8. Check to be sure there is no conductive material inside the connector. 9. Check to be sure the speed sensor circuit wires are a twisted pair. 10. Check for a properly grounded drain wire. 11. Check for the presence of a strong external AC signal. 12. Repair or replace parts as required.

APPENDIX NINPUT AND OUTPUT FUNCTIONS

Use Appendix N, or Tech Data, and Datalink Communication on the Allison Transmission website to determine the wiring circuit schematic and/or J1939 messaging/parameters used for the function. Use the appropriate section in the Allison DOC For PCService Tool to verify the proper signal is received and/or is enabled by the TCM. 1. To access Input/Output wiring schematic from Allison DOC For PCService Tool, double-click on the function name displayed, this will link to the Troubleshooting Manual Appendix N. 2. Allison DOC For PCService Tool can be useful in troubleshooting input/output concerns. After connecting to the vehicle, go to the Diagnostic button (F3) and select TCM/Calibration Information or the Data Monitor sections. 3. In this section the Input/Output wire state and/or Data bus status is displayed and can be monitored for proper operation. With the input function switched ON, compare the wire state/data bus status to the actual function state. If they are not switching at the proper time there may be a switch, relay, circuit concern or possibly a CAN bus concern. The CAN Data Bus Viewer included in Allison DOC For PCService Tool may be used to monitor and/or record a snapshot of the J1939 messaging and parameter status. The TCM receives analog input as either a positive or a negative input, which is calibration dependant. Allison DOC will display the active input or output function and the polarity of the input or output function. A Digital Volt/Ohmmeter (DVOM) may be used to check the output functions, but be aware that the output wire may only be operational during specic operating conditions that must be met within the TCM logic. It may be necessary to isolate the output circuit and supply an alternate source of voltage or a ground to complete the circuit to determine if the circuit is operating properly. Never use a test light to check input/output wiringthis could cause internal TCM damage.

WARNING!
Description This function is enabled when wire 143 is switched to send power to the TCM. Enabling the function alerts the TCM that PTO operation has been requested by the operator. When the function is enabled and all of the following conditions exist, the TCM activates the output function by switching wire 150 to ground. When this function is enabled, the TCM disables the modulated main pressure feature in the transmission, resulting in transmission operation at full main pressure. Required operating conditions for enabling this function are:

Throttle position is low Engine speed and output speed is within Customer Modiable Constant limits
When turbine speed for lockup engagement (a Customer Modiable Constant) is reached during PTO operation with the transmission in neutral or park, the TCM commands engagement of the transmission lockup clutch, thus providing direct drive from the engine to the PTO drive gear. The lockup clutch will automatically disengage at an engine/turbine speed which is 100 rpm lower than the engagement speed.
N4

Uses Permits operator to control engagement and disengagement of the PTO with a switch Provides inhibits for PTO engagement based on engine speed or transmission output speed Provides for automatic disengagement of PTO based on engine speed or transmission output speed Provides a mechanism to disable the modulated main pressure feature in the transmission
WARNING!
If the PTO is used to drive high inertia equipment (e.g. alternator, blower, chaindriven mechanical devices), the Max. Engine Speed for PTO Engagement should be set as closely as possible to the engine idle speed. Engagement of the PTO at high speed, whether by activation of this function or automatic reengagement of the function following a disengagement due to overspeed, may cause damage to the PTO system.

WARNING!
Description This function is enabled when a switch is opened to break the circuit between input wire 101 and wire 103, Signal Return. When an interfaced auxiliary vehicle function is activated, as denoted by the open state of the enable switch, the TCM commands an inhibit on all neutral-to-range transmission shifts. The inhibit remains in effect until the auxiliary vehicle function is disabled (wire 101 switched from open to wire 103) or the output speed exceeds a preset value. If this function is enabled in the shift calibration, the function MUST be integrated into the vehicle wiring.
CAUTION:

GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING INPUT FUNCTION H, ENGINE BRAKE ENABLE AND PRESELECT REQUEST
NOTE: All vehicle installations which utilize an exhaust- or compression-type engine brake must include a means to enable this auxiliary braking system. The preferred method to enable the brake is via an SAE J1939 vehicle communications interface. For detailed information regarding this topic, refer to Datalink Communications Tech Data. If a J1939 interface is not used for control of the engine brake, one of the following hard-wire methods MUST be used for that purpose. Performance of an engine brake is optimized when engine speed remains high during the brake operation cycle. Brake performance is also maximized by early downshifting of the transmission into lower ranges as permitted by the operating conditions. And, although the potential for transmission overheating exists during an engine braking cycle, this risk is minimized by permitting brake operation only when the transmission lockup clutch is engaged. The purpose of the Engine Brake Enable and Preselect function is to initiate the Preselect Downshift shift schedule for the transmission concurrently with the request for applying the engine brake. Simultaneously, the controls verify that other operating conditions, namely lockup clutch engagement and throttle position, are conducive to satisfactory engine brake operation. Due to the variety of vehicle interfaces which are possible, the following is offered as a guide to selecting the appropriate implementation of this function for your vehicle.

WARNING!
Description This variation of function H is enabled when wire 102 is switched to send power to the TCM. When the throttle is closed, the transmission lockup clutch is engaged and this function is enabled, the TCM activates the output function by switching wire 104 from ground to open. One of the following three user-specied preselect shift schedules will go into effect. Each provides downshifts at higher engine speeds, as compared to the standard shift schedule, resulting in improved engine braking performance.

Standard NormalDownshifts will occur at the same rpm as would occur by manually preselecting a lower range. Approximately 300 rpm over governed rpm after the shift. Standard LowDownshifts will occur at the same rpm as would occur by manually preselecting a lower range. Approximately 150 rpm over governed rpm after the shift. LowDownshifts will occur at approximately half way between 1000 rpm and the Standard Normal closed throttle shift points described above.

An approved Allison Diagnostic Tool can be used to set or modify (1) the preselect forward drive range that is activated when the input is turned on, and (2) which of the three shift schedules is preselected when the function is activated. NOTE: Output functions are normally off and become activated when its control circuit (switched input) is turned on and the TCM determines that specic operating conditions are met. The output associated with this function is based on inverted logic; the engine brake is actuated when the output function is turned off. Design and installation of the control circuit for this function therefore requires special attention in order that circuit actuation creates the desired result in vehicle operation.

NOTE: Mixing and matching analog and digital signals may cause improper responses, therefore it is not recommended. Use the Data Bus Viewer, a feature included in the Allison DOC For PCService Tool, to monitor the status of each of these parameters.

Normal Function Operation: 1. The operator turns on the exhaust brake switch, indicating a desire for braking to the exhaust brake controller (often the engine ECM). 2. The TCM receives any of the following J1939 messages: EBC1Engine Retarder Selection = a percentage value (0 to 100%), or ERC1Retarder Enable Brake Assist Switch = Brake assist enabled 3. The TCM attempts to engage TCC if a downshift is necessary. 4. Once TCC is veried as on, the TCM sends a message to the exhaust brake controller: ETC1Torque Converter Lockup Engaged Status = Transmission Torque Converter Lockup Engaged 5. The exhaust brake controller broadcasts back to the TCM: ERC1Actual Retarder Percent of Torque = a percentage value (125 to 0%). 6. Once the TCM sees this message, it invokes preselect and uses engine brake adaptive controls.

GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTING INPUT FUNCTION Y, ABS RESPONSE
Operator control of the vehicle is enhanced if the transmission lockup clutch is not applied during severe braking of the vehicle. The purpose of Input Function Y, ABS Response, is to provide a means to quickly disengage these two transmission features (if applied) when a hard vehicle braking condition is detected. The implementation of this function is recommended for all vehicle installations. Due to the wide variety of vehicle interfaces which are possible, the following is offered as a guide to selecting the appropriate implementation of this function for your vehicle.
Table N1. Implementing Input Function Y, ABS Response Controls Conguration NO ABS on Vehicle. ABS Response is enabled by high pressure in the vehicle brake system, and is used only to Without ABS Controls disable the transmission lockup clutch during severe vehicle braking. ABS Response is enabled by a signal from the ABS With ABS Controls (No system when the system is activated. This input signal is interface with service used by the transmission controls to disable the transmission lockup clutch when an ABS event has brakes) occurred. ABS Response is enabled either by a signal from the ABS system or by high pressure in the vehicle brake system. With ABS Controls This input signal is used by the transmission controls to (Interfaced with service disable the transmission lockup clutch when an ABS brakes) event has occurred or during severe vehicle braking which does not activate ABS.

WARNING!
Description This function provides the means to disengage the transmission lockup clutch during vehicle braking conditions which activate the vehicles ABS system. The control conguration for this function is dependent upon the conguration of the ABS system control and output signal. One of the variations of this function (either Y1, Y2, or Y3) MUST be used if the vehicle is equipped with ABS. This version (Y1) of the function relies upon the ABS system to provide an activation signal to the transmission controls when an ABS event has occurred. The function is enabled when the TCM senses a ground on wire 121. Wire 121 will enable the function directly if connected to an ABS system controller which switches to ground when an ABS event has occurred. For installations in which the ABS system controller provides a power output when an ABS event has occurred, this output must be used to control a relay which switches wire 121 to the transmission control system Signal Return, wire 103. Uses

Description This function provides the means to disengage the transmission lockup clutch during severe vehicle braking conditions. One of the variations of this function (either Y1, Y2, or Y3) MUST be used if the vehicle is equipped with ABS. The No ABS conguration noted below is recommended for all non-ABS vehicles. This version (Y2) of the function is enabled when application of the vehicle brakes is detected and a brake pressure switch completes the circuit between input wire 121 and wire 103, Signal Return. For vehicles equipped with ABS, this brake pressure input may be used as a parallel input to the ABS controls, thus enabling the function during severe braking conditions which do not initiate an ABS event. Depending upon characteristics of the pressure switch and system design, the potential exists for this conguration to enable the function prior to broadcast of an ABS-event signal from the ABS controller. Three different installation schemes are illustrated below, representing the requirements for a vehicle without ABS, an ABS system controller which switches to ground when an ABS event has occurred, and an ABS system controller which provides a power output when an ABS event has occurred. Uses

Signals the TCM when ABS function is activated, so that lockup clutch will be disabled. Signals the TCM during hard vehicle braking, even if an ABS event has not occurred, so that lockup clutch will be disabled. This function is required for all vehicles which are equipped with ABS.

Description This function provides the means to disengage the transmission lockup clutch during severe vehicle braking conditions and/or conditions which activate the vehicles ABS system. One of the variations of this function (either Y1, Y2, or Y3) MUST be used if the vehicle is equipped with ABS. This version of the function (Y3) is recommended for vehicles utilizing an SAE J1939 vehicle communication link to indicate ABS status. Two possible installation designs are illustrated below. This version (Y3) of the function is enabled by an indication on the J1939 communication link that the an ABS event has occurred. The response of some vehicle congurations may be enhanced by the additional input signal from the brake system which indicates that a severe braking has been detected. This input, which occurs when a brake pressure switch closes the circuit between input wire 121 and wire 103, Signal Return, enables the function in the event the severe braking does not initiate an ABS event. Depending upon characteristics of the pressure switch and system design, the potential exists for this conguration to enable the function prior to the broadcast of an ABS-active signal on the J1939 communication link.

Description This function is enabled when a normally-closed momentary switch is opened to interrupt power input to the TCM on wire 123. When this option is enabled, the transmission is limited to operation in only neutral and low forward range(s) (see Customer Modiable Constants below). Operator requests to upshifts beyond specied gear range or to shift into reverse are ignored by the TCM. If the function is enabled with R (Reverse) selected on the shift selector, the transmission will shift to neutral. If the function is enabled in a forward drive range higher than the specied gear range, the TCM will invoke preselect downshifts until the specied gear range is attained. The function is disabled when the momentary switch is released, changing the state of wire 123 to powered. Functional control complies with European legislation for refuse vehicle operation.

NOTE: Normally, an output function is activated when its control circuit (switched input) is enabled and the TCM determines that specic operating conditions are met. The output associated with this function is based on inverted logic; it is activated by the control circuit (switched input) but deactivated by the TCM when specic conditions exist.

V10727.00.00
WARNING!
NOTE: Allison Application Engineering must review all vehicle designs using this function. Description This feature facilitates automatic shifts to neutral and re-engagement of drive initiated by an SAE J1939 datalink Service Brake Status message. The function is enabled when 12V input power is switched to wire 123, a J1939 message is received to indicate that the service brakes are applied, and specied operating conditions exist. When the function is enabled, the transmission will be commanded to shift to neutral, regardless of the shift selector position. While in this state, the shift selector will ash the selected drive range. To enable this function, the throttle position must be low and output speed must be within Customer Modiable Constant limits (see below). Additionally, when wire 123 is switched on but the transmission is not in the Auto Neutral state, the maximum allowable range of the transmission will be limited by a Customer Modiable Constant (preselected forward range). The implementation shown includes the Neutral Indicator for PTO (NIPTO) feature which deactivates fast idle operation upon release of the service brakes. NIPTO provides an inhibit to prevent re-engagement of drive for up to 2.5 seconds if engine speed remains above the Neutral-to-Drive shift inhibit speed (1000 rpm) or if throttle position remains high. If the throttle position and engine speed thresholds are not attained during this period, the transmission will remain in neutral. A gear range will only be commanded when a range is reselected on the shift selector.

The function will be disabled, the transmission will be shifted back to the previously-selected (or newly-selected) drive range and normal transmission operation resumes when:

A range is selected by the operator, or Output speed exceeds the Customer Modiable Constant limit, or The Auto Neutral Enable cab switch is switched from closed to open, or The Service Brake message indicates that brakes have been released.
NOTE: Use of this feature requires installation of a rollback protection feature on the vehicle to prevent inadvertent rollback when the transmission is transitioning from Neutral to Drive. This feature must be congured to disengage when throttle position is raised above zero and a forward J1939 Transmission Current Gear message is received. Design and installation of this feature are the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturer. Uses Automatically commands neutral and activates fast idle when the service brake is applied. Automatically re-engages transmission in the selected drive range when service brake is released. Customer Modiable Constants

WARNING!
Description This function is enabled when wire 102 is switched to send power to the TCM. Once the function is enabled, the TCM will activate the function by commanding one of two user-specied preselect shift schedules (standard or low) to go into effect. The resulting preselect shift schedule will be identical to the schedule achieved by manually preselecting with the shift selector. An approved Allison Diagnostic Tool can be used to set or modify the preselect forward drive range that is activated when the input is turned on. With either preselect shift schedule, the TCM commands downshifts at higher engine speeds than with the standard shift schedule. Uses Signals the TCM to preselect a selectable forward drive range whenever the function switch is closed.

GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING INPUT FUNCTION CC: HIGH N/V
NOTE: N/V = ratio of transmission output shaft speed to road speed. Thus, High n/v relates to vehicles which are geared for relatively low road speed. For the purpose of this function, Allison Transmission denes a High n/v vehicle as having an n/v ratio in the range of 4393 transmission output rpm per kilometers/hr (70150 rpm/mph). Purpose of this function is to signal the TCM when the vehicle is being operated with a driveline conguration that produces an abnormally high n/v ratio. For proper operation, this vehicle conguration requires different transmission shifting characteristics as compared one with an n/v in the normal range. This condition is typically created by one of two situations: 1. The vehicle is equipped with a multi-speed transfer case and the low road speed ratio of the transfer case is currently selected for use. 2. The vehicle does not have a transfer case, but does use a very deep axle ratio in order for it to be geared very slowly due to its vocational use, e.g. an aircraft tow tractor. Each of these two vehicle variations requires a different interface to enable this input function. Use the descriptions above and the guide below to select the proper version of this function for your vehicle. CC1: High N/V resulting from multi-speed transfer case: Select this option if the high-reduction (low-gear speed) ratio of the vehicles transfer case produces a calculated ratio of transmission output speed (n) to road speed (v) of 43.93 rpm per kilometers/hour (70.150 rpm per miles/hour). As a result of this installation, the TCM calculates different transmission shift characteristics for the low-speed and high-speed ratios of the transfer case. CC2: High N/V driveline: Select this option if the vehicle has a single-speed (or no) transfer-case, but an axle ratio which results in full-time operation in the n/v range of 4393 rpm per kilometers/hour (70.150 rpm per mph). Wiring schematics for the installation of both activations of the High N/V input function follow.
Vehicle Conguration Has multi-speed transfer case, one of which creates a high n/v driveline ratio Full-time gearing ratio which meets CC2 denition of a high n/v driveline Function ID CC1 CC2

Description This function is enabled when a switch is closed to complete the circuit between input wire 122 and Signal Return (wire 103), and switch between wire 102 and switched power is opened. This condition alerts the TCM that the transfer case shift mechanism has been shifted to the Low position which results in a high n/v ratio (see denition in note below). When this function is enabled, the TCM adjusts specic shift calibration values to accommodate changes in vehicle performance which result from use of the deeper gear ratio associated with the Low position of the transfer case. The function is disabled when the switch between wires 122 and 103 is opened and/or power is switched to wire 102, reecting selection of the transfer case Neutral or High position. NOTE: N/V = ratio of transmission output shaft speed to road speed. Thus, High n/v relates to vehicles which are geared for relatively low road speed. For the purpose of this function, Allison denes a high n/v vehicle as having an n/v ratio in the range of 4393 transmission output rpm per kilometers/hr (70150 rpm/mph). Uses Adjust transmission operating parameters to compensate for the gear ratio change and other factors associated with shifting between High, Neutral, or Low positions of a transfer case.

P2. J2284 HARDWARE AND CONNECTIONS
SAE J2284-3 denes a high-speed 500 KBPS CAN communication link. This link is new to Allison 4th Generation Controls, and is referred to by Allison as CAN 2. Communication is accomplished through a proprietary GM protocol known as GMLAN. While its use may be expanded in the future, the only current use for CAN 2 to connect with Allison DOC and Allison engineering tools. No other J1939 components or tools may be connected. Due to hardware setting and protocol differences, CAN 2 is not compatible with J1939, and CAN 2 cannot be tied to CAN 1 in any installation. Advantages of the J2284 link include high speed (twice as fast as SAE J1939) and reduced wiring in TCM-only installations, as only one termination is required. NOTE: Use of a single termination resistor in TCM-only installations is only acceptable with J2284 (CAN 2); it is not acceptable with J1939 (CAN 1). A. TCM J2284 INTERFACE While 4th Generation TCMs can be interfaced to a J2284 network in a number of ways, only the TCM only with diagnostic connector implementation is shown here, as it provides the simplest, lowest cost installation. Other installation methods are deemed less than optimum or not allowable for the following reasons:
Stub ConnectionUse of a TCM stub connection requires a traditional backbone with two termination resistorsone located at each end. The TCM would then attach to the backbone through one stub, and the diagnostic connector would attach through another. This interference is permissible but not recommended given the availability of the single component/single termination installation. Stub connections use more hardware, cost more, and have more failure points. Pass Through ConnectionWhile the TCM has pass through pins allocated for CAN 2, their use is currently not applicable for Allison 4th Generation Controls; the TCM will be the only onvehicle component connected to J2284. These pins should not be used in any installation. Backbone TerminationThis option would use the TCM J2284 internal termination resistor to eliminate one of the two external termination resistors required in a traditional backbone arrangement.
B.
TCM-ONLY INSTALLATION WITH SAE J1962 DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR The SAE J2284 Recommended Practice allows for an installation to use only one termination resistor, providing the vehicle has only one J2284 component and one J2284 diagnostic connector on the J2284 network. By denition, this installation does not have a backbone; it is simply a direct connection between the TCM and the diagnostic connection, with a single termination resistor used to dampen the network. Use of the TCM J2284 internal termination resistor allows this installation to be simplied further. A jumper wire connects the internal termination resistor across CAN high and low to meet the single termination resistor requirement. The gure below details TCM pin connections, while a larger diagram showing the entire installation is found under J2284 TCM ONLY INSTALLATION.

The following ARE REQUIRED for installations using this J2284 interface option:

Wires 106 and 127 are a twisted pair, and must conform to the physical layer requirements of SAE J2284. Pass-through pin 47 cannot be connected. Jumper wire 126 must be 120 ohm impedance wire identical to that used throughout the rest of the J2284 network. Jumper wire 126 should be kept as short as possible. TCM must be CLEARLY LABELED as utilizing the internal termination resistor. Otherwise, technicians may be misled to believe a vehicle is missing a termination resistor, when in fact it is located where not visible to the naked eye. Exact labeling is left to the vehicle OEMs discretion, though phrasing such as INTERNAL TERMINATION RESISTOR IN USE is acceptable. The label must not be painted over during the vehicle assembly process.
C.
DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR All installations REQUIRE at least one connection point for Allison DOC, either on CAN 1 or CAN 2. If the vehicle OEM opts to meet this requirement via the CAN 2 J2284 datalink, use of the J1962 (ISO 15031-3) trapezoidal connector IS REQUIRED, with the following pin support:

NOTE: Allison does not condone use of the 9-pin SAE J1939-13 connector with J2284; this is a violation of SAE Recommended Practice. J1939-13 pins are explicitly dened for SAE J1939 and J1587 use, with no pins available for discretionary assignment. Redefining these pins in a given installation could cause confusion in the service channel when attempting to use service tools that adhere to the J1939-13 pin assignments.
TCM must be clearly labeled indicating 'internal termination resistor' use. TCM J 2284 low 'pass through' connection CANNOT be connected. Only 120 Ohm impedance wire may be used for the jumper wire. Jumper wire length should be kept to a minimum.

The cable used for the bus must be 120 ohm impedance cable. Per J 2284-3, shielding is not required, and there is no shield pin defined on J 1962 connector. The distance between the TCM and diagnostic connector must be <5 meters.
Use of a SINGLE TERMINATION RESISTOR is a SPECIAL CASE permitted by J 2284-3 when only ONE controller (our TCM) and ONE off-board service tool (ALLISON DOC) will be connected to the network. The system will work fine if two termination resistors are installed (one at each end of the backbone as done traditionally); the above special case was developed by vehicle OEMs as a cost saving measure.

A.
Manual Fluid Check Procedure Clean all dirt from around the end of the uid ll tube before removing the dipstick. Do not allow dirt or foreign matter to enter the transmission. Dirt or foreign matter in the hydraulic system may cause undue wear of transmission parts, make valves stick, and clog passages. Check the uid level using the following procedure and report any abnormal uid levels to your maintenance persons.
B.
Cold Check Procedure The purpose of the cold check is to determine if the transmission has enough uid to be operated safely until a hot check can be made. The uid level rises as uid temperature increases. DO NOT ll above the COLD CHECK band if the transmission uid is below normal operating temperatures.
CAUTION:
Park vehicles containing 1000 Product Family and 2000 Product Family (2400 models) as follows:
Bring the vehicle to a complete stop on a level surface using the service brake. Make sure that the engine is at low idle rpm. Put the transmission in P (Park). Engage the P (Park) range by slowly releasing the service brake. Apply the emergency brake and/or parking brake, if present, and make sure it is properly engaged.

Park vehicles containing 2000 Product Family transmissions with auto-apply parking brakes as
follows: Bring the vehicle to a complete stop on a level surface using the service brake. Make sure that the engine is at low idle rpm. Put the transmission in PB (Auto-Apply Parking Brake). Make sure that the parking brake is properly engaged. Apply the emergency brake, if present, and make sure it is properly engaged. Park vehicles containing 2000 Product Family transmissions without auto-apply parking brakes as follows: Bring the vehicle to a complete stop on a level surface using the service brake. Make sure that the engine is at low idle rpm. Put the transmission in N (Neutral). Apply the emergency brake and/or parking brake and make sure they are properly engaged. Chock the wheels and take any other steps necessary to keep the vehicle from moving. Run the engine for at least one minute. Apply the service brakes and shift to D (Drive), then to N (Neutral), and then shift to R (Reverse) to ll the hydraulic system. Finally, shift to P (Park) or PB (Auto-Apply Parking Brake), if available, or N (Neutral) and allow the engine to idle (500800 rpm). Slowly release the service brakes. With the engine running, remove the dipstick from the tube and wipe the dipstick clean. Insert the dipstick into the tube and remove. Check the uid level reading. Repeat the check procedure to verify the reading. If the uid level is within the COLD CHECK band, the transmission may be operated until the uid is hot enough to perform a HOT RUN check. If the uid level is not within the COLD CHECK band, add or drain as necessary to bring it to the middle of the COLD CHECK band. Perform a hot check at the rst opportunity after the normal operating sump temperature of 71C93C (160F200F) is reached.
C.
Hot Check Procedure The uid must be hot for an accurate check. The uid level rises as temperature increases.
CAUTION:
Operate the transmission in D (Drive) range until normal operating temperature is reached:
sump temperature 71C93C (160F200F) converter-out temperature 82C104C (180F220F) If a transmission temperature gauge is not present, check uid level when the engine water temperature gauge has stabilized and the transmission has been operated under load for at least one hour. Park vehicles containing 1000 Product Family and 2000 Product Family (2400 models) as follows: Bring the vehicle to a complete stop on a level surface using the service brake. Make sure that the engine is at low idle rpm. Put the transmission in P (Park). Engage the P (Park) range by slowly releasing the service brake. Apply the emergency brake and/or parking brake, if present, and make sure it is properly engaged.

Insert the dipstick into the tube and remove. Check uid level reading. Repeat the check procedure to verify the reading.
NOTE: Safe operating level is within the HOT RUN band on the dipstick. See Figures R1 and R2. The width of the HOT RUN band represents approximately 1.0 liter (1.06 quart) of uid at normal operating sump temperature.
If the uid level is not within the HOT RUN band, add or drain as necessary to bring the uid
level to within the HOT RUN band. D. Consistency of Readings Always check the uid level at least twice using the procedure described above. Consistency (repeatable readings) is important to maintaining proper uid level. If inconsistent readings persist, check the transmission breather to be sure it is clean and unclogged. If readings are still inconsistent, contact your nearest Allison distributor or dealer.
