CEC2 CONTROLS
1.0 PURPOSE
The latest automatic electronic CEC2 controls are available on all off-
highway transmission model families. Manual electric and manual hydraulic
models also continue to be available in the 5000 and 6000 model families.
Similarly, manual electric models continue to be available for the models in
the 8000 and 9000 series families. Generally the model designations
models used in hauling applications are H5610, H9610, etc. while other
mobile versions of these models are M5610, M9610, etc. For stationary
versions these model designations are S5610, S9610, etc. The "xx10"
designates that these transmissions share some parts required for CEC2
controls, such as housings and speed sensors.
In the case of the 5000 and 6000 transmission families, Allison Transmission
continues to produce direct replacement models for CEC1 controlled
transmissions. These are available as a customer convenience as
replacements for CEC1 models used in existing installations due to the
large volume of 5000 and 6000 CEC1 models in the field. CEC1 models are
no longer available in the 8000 and 9000 model families. However, CEC2
models in any family can be used as replacements for CEC1 models by
utilizing jumper harnesses as described in Section G: CEC2 Support
Equipment and Controls Definition Worksheets of the CEC2 Electronic
Controls manual. This document, along with other technical reference
information, may be found in the Tech Data section of the Extranet channel

With an Allison automatic transmission, the shift selector is used by the operator to select Neutral
(N), Reverse gear (R), or a range of forward gears. When a forward gear range has been selected,
the transmission starts in the lowest gear of the range and, as conditions permit, automatically
upshifts until the highest gear in the selected range is in use.
When appropriate, the control system will invoke built-in logic to protect the transmission from some
types of abusive operation. For example:
except in some types of specialized equipment, neutral-to-reverse shifts are normally inhibited
above specified throttle positions (typically, above 20% throttle)
forward/reverse directional changes are typically not permitted if appreciable output shaft speed or
throttle position is detected. The ECU will indicate that the shift is inhibited by flashing the "range
select" digit on the selector. Engine speed, including
a high idle condition, is not accounted for in D-R or
R-D shifts.
Select DRIVE range by pressing "D". The highest forward gear will appear on the SELECT display
and the transmission will shift to the starting gear.
The UPSHIFT (!) and DOWNSHIFT (") arrow buttons are used to select a higher (if not in "D") or
lower (if not in "1") forward range. These buttons are not functional in NEUTRAL or REVERSE. One
press changes the range selected by one range. If the button is held continuously, the selected
range will continue to change up or down until the button is released or until the highest or lowest
possible range of gears is selected.
R REVERSE.
Some transmission models are equipped with
two reverse ranges. In these circumstances,
the shiftselector will show two reverse selections:
"R1" for low-speed reverse, and "R2" for high-
speed reverse.
The lever shifter features a detent to prevent inadvertent shifting between "R" (or "R1" and "R2", if
applicable), "N", and "D". To release the lever from any of these positions, the detent must first be
unlocked by depressing the thumb release button on the shifter handle. All other forward ranges can
be selected by simply moving the lever.
Appropriate Hold Upshift and Preselect Downshift schedules are established for each transmission
on the basis of engine characteristics, vehicle gearing, etc. Customer input is not necessary to
define these shift schedules for a transmission application.
PRIMARY This shift schedule is used each time the vehicle is started. Typically, this is used for
normal vehicle operation.
SECONDARY This is an alternate shift schedule that the ECU uses upon request. The request
can be interlocked with a vehicle component, or be operator-
controlled via the MODE button or a dash mounted switch.
HOLD UPSHIFT This shift schedule permits upshifts to occur if an overspeed condition could
result by the transmission remaining (by operator selection) in a lower range. These shifts occur at
engine speeds which are higher than normal upshifts.
PRESELECT DOWNSHIFT This shift schedule is used when the driver preselects a lower range.
The transmission will downshift when an overspeed condition will not result after the shift. These
downshifts occur at engine speeds which are higher than normal downshifts.
RETARDER The retarder shift schedule incorporates elevated closed-throttle downshifts to opti-
mize retarder capacity during retarder operation. Retarder closed throttle downshifts are similar to
preselect downshifts. This shift schedule is activated when the retarder is switched on and all
programmed requirements for retarder operation are met (See Section E: Customizing the Controls
Configuration to Your Vehicle of this manual).
OVERTEMP The transmission is restricted to operation in the lower gear ranges during oil
overtemp conditions. If the transmission is above the maximum available range when overtemp
occurs, preselect downshifts are used until that range is reached.
4.0 DIAGNOSTICS
Diagnostic features are provided with the transmission control system to assist in troubleshooting of
malfunctions and/or the monitoring of specific operating parameters. These features include a
CHECK TRANS light at the operators station, and the diagnostic program which is used primarily as
a service tool. When a malfunction is detected in the control system, a series of "diagnostic codes"
are used to identify and clarify the nature of the malfunction.
Illumination of this light indicates that a problem has been detected and shifts may be CHECK
TRANS
restricted. Depending upon the severity of the problem, the readout digit on the shifter
display may be blank. Operation may continue in order to reach service assistance.
The ECU may not respond to shift selector requests, since operating limitations are being placed on
the transmission, i.e. upshifts and downshifts may be restricted. Direction changes will not occur.
Any time this light has been illuminated, the ECU will register a diagnostic code. It may be identified
on the display and/or the diagnostic program
The diagnostics program uses the PC as a receiver/transmitter/display unit. The program transmits
and receives data to/from the ECU, processes the data and displays appropriate information to the
service technician. Operating instructions are supplied with the software.
Diagnostic codes can be displayed either by the diagnostic tool or on the display portion of the shift
selector. The following information describes use of the diagnostic capabilities of the system without
a diagnostic tool. For a more complete description of the diagnostics tool and a step-by-step proce-
dure for its use, consult the operating instructions which are supplied with the software and/or the
Troubleshooting Manual (available from Allison Parts Distribution Center).
Up to 5 diagnostic codes can be registered in the ECU at one time. In addition to the display of the
codes themselves, any inhibits which result from active codes are also identified.
TO ENTER DIAGNOSTIC MODE: The general procedure to display the codes is to first enter the
diagnostic mode by pressing the upshift and downshift arrow buttons simultaneously on the
keypad pushbutton selector, or pressing the diagnostic mode button on the lever shift selector once.
Diagnostic mode will be entered only with the vehicle stopped. (The transmission should be shifted
to NEUTRAL and the vehicle parking brake applied.) For each code stored in memory, beginning with
any code that is presently inhibiting the transmission, the 4 digits of the code and the pertinent pa-
rameters are continuously flashed on the display. Pressing the mode button once will cause the next
code with its pertinent information to be displayed. Dashes indicate all stored codes have been
displayed.
To clear any active inhibits, depress the mode button and hold for 3 - 5 seconds. Depressing and
holding the mode button for 8 - 10 seconds will clear inactive codes from memory. All active inhibits
will also be cleared during a normal powerdown (ignition switched off followed by zero output and
zero engine speeds).
After a fixed number of ignition cycles, any code will automatically disappear from memory if it has
not reoccurred. "Ignition cycle counts", which indicate the age of a stored code, and "event counts",
which indicate the frequency of code occurrence, are available for reference but accessible only
with the diagnostic tool.
Press any range button (D, N, R) on the pushbutton shift selector. If the selector is the lever-type,
select any other transmission gear range.
Pushbutton shift selector only: simultaneously press the upshift (!) and downshift (") arrow
buttons.
Lever shift selector only: momentarily depress the "Diagnostic Mode" button.
Turn off power to the ECU (turn off the vehicle engine at the ignition switch)
Press and hold the "Mode" button for approximately 5 seconds after all codes have been cleared.
5.1 RETARDER
The purpose of the retarder is to assist in stopping the vehicle during stop-and-go driving and to
control the downhill speed of the vehicle on a grade. For both of these uses, the retarder serves to
extend the life of the service brakes and to enhance vehicle control.
For details relating to the retarder control, refer to discussions regarding "Retarder Enable" input
function and "Retarder Indicator" output function in Section E: Customizing the Controls Configuration
to Your Vehicle of this manual.
