GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1-2. 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
configurations to match the configuration of the vehicle electrical system.
The TCM (Figure 1-3) 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.
V05728.01 .01
Figure 1-3. Transmission Control Module (TCM)
1-3. SHIFT SELECTOR

The vehicle is equipped with a lever-type shift selector (Figure 1-4). 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 NSBU switch mounted on the selector shaft. 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 (Figure 1-4). 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.
SHIFT SELECTOR

TOP VIEW
V06476
Figure 1-4. Typical Lever-Type Shift Selector

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TCM shift calibration determines the available forward ranges for each selector position.
Although specific installations vary, typical selector positions for the 1000 and 2000 Product
Families are:
P - Park. Parking pawl or parking brake is engaged, if available. This position is not available
on all shift selectors.
R- Reverse.
N - Neutral. May be used when starting the engine and for stationary operations. The NSBU
Switch disables the starter switch if a range other than N (Neutral) or P (Park) is selected before
starting the vehicle.
OD - Overdrive. The highest forward range used for normal driving. The transmission shifts to
first range for starting, then automatically upshifts through the ranges (as operating conditions
permit) until the highest range is attained.
D, 2, 1 - Forward Range. The transmission shifts to first range for starting. The range selected
on the shift selector is the highest range which will be attained during automatic shifting.
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 Park position, the selector valve remains in
the Neutral position when the selector is moved to Park.
The Neutral and Reverse selector valve positions (refer to Appendix H-Hydraulic 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 N (Neutral) is required.
C. NSBU Switch
The installation of a transmission-mounted neutral start/reverse signal switch is required. This
switch, commonly called an "NSBU Switch" (Figure 1-5), mounts directly onto the transmission
housing from the outside and 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 NSBU switch has redundant circuitry to
alert the TCM in the event of a single wire or switch failure.
The neutral signal output of the NSBU switch is typically used as confirmation that the
transmission is in N (Neutral) before the engine starter is engaged. The NSBU switch is
interfaced to the starter circuit with weatherproof electrical connectors. The reverse signal
provision may be used to activate vehicle back-up lights and/or reverse warning devices.
V05729.01.00

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1-4. THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) can be mounted to the engine, chassis, or transmission. The TPS (Figure 1-6)
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.
Figure 1-6. Throttle Position Sensor
1-5. 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 (Figure 1-7). 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 1-7. 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 flux 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 fields. The cable is also shielded to protect from
voltage-related fields. Noise from other sources is eliminated by using two-wire differential inputs at the TCM.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Do not rotate the speed sensor in the retaining bracket. Orientation is fixed, 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 o'clock, as viewed from the left side of the transmission
(Figure 1-8).
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 o'clock, as viewed from the left side of the
transmission (Figure 1-8).
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 five o'clock, as viewed from the left side of the
transmission (Figure 1-8).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1-6. CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY

The hydraulic control valve assembly (Figure 1-9) governs fluid flow 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 contains the trim valves, the TCC
valve, the exhaust backfill 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 PSM to
the main transmission connector and external wiring harness.
A. Modulated Main Pressure

Modulated main pressure was added to the 1000 and 2000 Product Families in the second
quarter of 2003. Starting with DEE software level, the TCM will autodetect if the hardware is
present. Main pressure is reduced by utilizing an additional on/off solenoid ("G") that is located
in the control valve body assembly. The G solenoid body is bolted to the revised 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 benefit of modulating main pressure is
to increase cooler flow at low engine speeds.

A. External Wiring Harness (Figure 1-10)
The external wiring harness requirements are typically met through the use of two separate
harnesses - one connecting the TCM to the transmission, throttle position sensor, NSBU
switch, and speed sensors; another connecting the TCM to the Scan Tool (ST) and other vehicle
interfaces. Each harness may be a single piece or may be divided into two segments joined by
bulkhead connectors. All wiring harnesses and mating connectors are customer-supplied.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
NOTES

SECTION 2-DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS
2-1. CHECKTRANS 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 notifies the operator that a Diagnostic Trouble Code (OTC)
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 OTC. The Scan Tool is used to
verify that the TCM has set a OTC (see Paragraph 2-5). While the CHECK TRANS light is on, upshifts and
downshifts may be restricted and direction changes (D-R, R-D) 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 OTC 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 OTC 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.
2-2. SCAN TOOL INHIBITS

The following inhibit information may be displayed on the Allison DOC™ For PC (Scan Tool), depending on the
TCM software level. If TCM software does not support one of the inhibits listed below, a N/A will be shown in the
information box.
If an inhibit has occurred since the last OTC was cleared, the inhibit state will indicate ON and will stay ON until the
next manual DTC clear with the Scan Tool. These inhibits do not turn OFF after a specified number ignition cycles.
The range inhibit light will illuminate and/or an inhibited state will be shown on the Scan 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. The Scan Tool will indicate an active
inhibit.
Common causes are transmission low on fluid, transmission filter has just been changed, or pan has
been removed and fluid recently drained.
May produce 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 the Scan Tool will indicate an
active inhibit.
• Diagnostic Active
This indicates that an active diagnostic code is set and that the CHECK TRANS light should be
illuminated. 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 re-starting will clear the inhibit condition. The Scan tool will indicate an
active inhibit.

DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS
• Auto Neutral for PTO

Neutral-to-Drive and Neutral-to-Reverse shifts will be inhibited to neutral and the Scan 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 the Scan Tool will show an inhibited state when
no input is detected from dash or floor mounted reverse enable switch when selecting reverse range.
The Scan 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 the Scan 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 the Scan 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

The Scan 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). The Scan 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. The Scan 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.
The Scan Tool will indicate an active inhibit.
• NSBU 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 a NSBU failure or misalignment is detected.
Common cause would be an error in the four-bit NSBU switch input signal that is sent to the TCM. The
Scan Tool will indicate an active inhibit.
• NSBU RPS 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 reverse pressure switch status is in the
incorrect state when compared to the NSBU switch state. The Scan Tool will indicate an active inhibit.
• MSV Mis-Alignment/Unable to detect ratio after shift to range

If the range verification test fails to detect turbine speed pull-down or valid gear ratio when shifting 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 fluid; misadjustment in the
NSBU 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 CS
for 1st, C3 or CS for Reverse).
The Scan 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. The Scan Tool will indicate an active inhibit response.

2-5. 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 inhibit-This 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.

SECTION 3-BASIC KNOWLEDGE
3-1. BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
To service 1000 and 2000 Product Families Electronic Controls, the technician must understand basic electrical
concepts. Technicians need to know how to use a volt/ohmmeter (VOM) 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 find
instruction.
The technician should also have the mechanical aptitude required to connect pressure gauges or transducers to
identified pressure ports used in the troubleshooting process. Pressure tap locations and pressure values are
shown in Appendix B - Main Pressure Check Procedure.
Input power, ground, neutral start circuitry, etc., can cause problems with electronic controls or vehicle functioning
and may not generate a OTC. A working knowledge of 1000 and 2000 Product Families Electronic Controls vehicle
installation is necessary in troubleshooting installation-related problems.
Refer to Section 7 for information concerning performance complaints (non-OTC) troubleshooting. A complete
wiring schematic is shown in Appendix J. Refer to the 1000/2000 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 1000/2000 Product Family Tech Data, available on the extranet under Engineering at
www.allisontransmission.com.
NOTE: Allison Transmission is providing for service of wiring harnesses and wiring harness
• 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. The OEM is responsible for warranty on these parts.
3-2. USING THE TROUBLESHOOTING MANUAL

Use this manual as an aid to troubleshooting the 1000 and 2000 Product Families Electronic 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.
3-3. SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1000 and 2000 Product Families Electronic 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 OTC 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 OTC. Once that shift has been retried, and a fault is still detected, the TCM sets a OTC
and holds the transmission in a fail-to-range mode of operation.

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
"PPC" (Pressure Proportional to Current) solenoids. These solenoids are labeled A and B in the transmission, and
are referred to as "trim" solenoids. For example, to make a 1-2 shift, A solenoid is used to trim pressure off CS
clutch, and B solenoid is used to trim pressure on C4 clutch.
The TCM (transmission control module) modulates the current to both A and B solenoid, 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 trim 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 first 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 TCM's 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. When a shift switches from
fast to slow adaptive mode, it is described as "converged".
The TCM is programmed to try to switch from fast to slow adaptive mode within approximately five 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 significant 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 converged.
TCC engagement is accomplished by a separate PWM (pulse-width modulated) solenoid labeled "F" in the
transmission. There are adaptive values for this as well, and thus it will also require some driving for TCC
engagement to converge.
3-4. IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN THE TROUBLESHOOTING PROCESS

Before beginning the troubleshooting process, read and understand the following:
• Allison recommended wire numbers (i.e. 212) are a combination of the first digit indicating the TCM
connector number (i.e. J2) 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-to-ground 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.
• Inspect all connector terminals for damage. Terminals may have bent or lost the necessary tension to
maintain firm contact.

BASIC KNOWLEDGE
• 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®.
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
CAUTION: 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.)
Care should be taken when welding on a vehicle equipped with electronic controls. Refer
CAUTION: to Appendix G, Paragraph 1-1.
• 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 OTC clearing procedure.
3-5. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION

1. Begin troubleshooting by checking the transmission fluid level and ignition voltage. Remember that
some problems may be temperature related. Do troubleshooting, including the fluid 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 the Scan Tool to check whether that
particular shift is converged. 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 converged but still objectionable, it's 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.
Whenever a transmission is overhauled, exchanged, or has undergone repairs, the

Transmission Control Module (TCM) must be "RESET TO UNADAPTED SHIFTS." This
CAUTION: 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.
2. If a transmission has been overhauled, exchanged, or repaired, use the Allison DOC™ For PC to
"RESET TO UNADAPTED SHIFTS". Accomplish the reset by doing the following:
• Select the Shift Selector icon.
• Select the Reset Adaptives icon.
• Push the Reset All Adaptive Values button.
At the "Are you sure you want to reset all adaptive parameters?" prompt, select "OK."

NOTE: Refer to the CD Readme.txt file for more information.

• The proper driver (electronic file) is installed for the Computer Interface Module.
• Power at the Deutsch 9-pin diagnostic connector (pin A is negative, pin B is positive).
• The proper connections exist for communicating with Allison DOC™ For PC Scan Tool (Figure 3-1
and Figure 3-2).
Presently there are two communication standards for Allison DOC™ For PC diagnostic software: J
1939 and J 1850. Both standards are supported by Allison DOC™ For PC (versions 2.0, 2.05, 3.0,
and 3.1).
The Deutsch 9-pin vehicle connector should always be used to establish communication for
troubleshooting. If it is necessary to use the J 43890 T-Adapter Harness, the following conditions
will occur:
• OTC U2105 CAN bus error sets.

• The CHECK TRANS light illuminates (beginning with M04 software, effective March 2000).
• The TCM freezes shift adapts.
• The TCM inhibits TCC engagement.
• Throttle information is defaulted; the TCM estimates throttle data from torque converter slip.

The J1850 Diagnostic Interface Box (J 44652) utilizes a serial port connection, rather than a parallel
port, and is used only for off-board diagnostic communications. J1939 is still used for on-board
communications such as throttle position; therefore it will necessary to use the J1939 T-Adapter Harness
(J 43890) and MPSI MagiKey™ Interface Box (J 42660) to perform a recalibration (Figure 3-3).

BASIC KNOWLEDGE
4. Check OTCs by using the Scan Tool.
5. When a problem exists but a OTC 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 OTC is found in the TCM memory, save all available OTC and failure record information before
clearing the active indicator (refer to Section 5).
7. When certain OTCs 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
WARNING! turn off the ignition, set parking brakes and chock the wheels. Failure to follow this
procedure may result in unexpected vehicle movement.
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 wiring harness from the main transmission connector. When the engine is
restarted, the transmission will default to a "limp home" capability. In this state, trim solenoid A (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.
NOTE: Removing the main transmission connector will induce several DTCs. Make sure all codes are
cleared before proceeding with further troubleshooting.
8. Test drive the vehicle to confirm a OTC or performance complaint.

• If the OTC reappears, refer to the OTC section (Section 5) and the appropriate OTC table. The
OTC section lists diagnostic codes and their description. Locate the appropriate troubleshooting
table and follow the instructions.
• If the OTC does not reappear and the test has passed, it may be an intermittent problem. Use the
Scan Tool (Allison DOC™ For PC) and the OTC (Section 5). The OTC display procedure will
identify possible causes of the problem.
• Appendix A deals with the identification of potential circuit problems. Refer to Appendix A if a circuit
problem is suspected.
NOTE: Information concerning specific items is contained in the appendices located in the back of this
manual. The appendices are referred to throughout the manual.
3-6. TCM REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

• Using the Scan Tool, verify the current calibration information number (CIN) and record or print a report
of the current customer modifiable constants (CMC) information for later reference.
• Remove the J 1 and J2 connectors from the suspect TCM; inspect the J 1 and J2 connectors for
damaged or bent pins.

BASIC KNOWLEDGE
• 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 confirmed, reinstall a new TCM.
• If the complaint does not return, leave the original TCM installed. Disconnecting and reconnecting the
TCM can often correct faulty wiring harness connections that may have been present.
• Clear any DTCs that may be present and test drive the vehicle to confirm 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.
3-7. RESETTING OFTCM PARAMETERS TO SUPPORT ENGINE UPDATE
Shift Energy Management (SEM) Autoselect feature was added to TCM software in the second quarter of
2002.
Autoselect is deactivated following the first 20 engine starts where engine and transmission
communication are present. If during the first 20 engine starts the TCM recognizes an engine to be on its
list of certified engines, it will lock to the SEM active state. If the engine is not supported, the TCM will lock
to a non-SEM state.
TCM Autoselect Certified Engines

18 U2A July 2002 Cummins 18802
19 DEE September 2002 Cummins IS8e (6-cylinder)
N/A N/A Proposed first quarter 2004 Caterpillar C7
188 engine software since December 2001 should support SEM, as well as most IS8e since
October 2002. 18802 ECM software started supporting SEM in July 2002.
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 the power-off data erase
procedure described below.
3-8. RESETTING TCM 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.

BASIC KNOWLEDGE
PCCS Load Station is used to reset Autoselect function, to do this it is necessary to clear all power-off data
currently stored in the TCM.
• Go to the Maintenance button and select "Erase Power-off Data"
• After selecting "Erase Power-off data", a message will indicate "PCCS is going to erase Power-off
data". Select "Yes". Selecting "No" will abort the clearing of Power-off Data.
• After clearing Power-off Data, there will be a prompt to cycle the ignition.
The TCM is now reset to Autoselect and will start looking for supporting engine software.
Drive the vehicle; confirm 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 converge.
Autoselect reset function will be incorporated into the Allison DOC™ For PC service tool at a later date,
along with an indication of the current SEM Autoselect status.

SECTION 4-WIRE CHECK PROCEDURES
4-1. CHECKING OPENS, SHORTS BETWEEN WIRES, AND SHORTS-TO-GROUND

(Use Digital Volt/Ohmmeter J 34520-A and Jumper Wire Set J 39197)
NOTE: Please refer to Paragraph 3-5 to begin the troubleshooting process.
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
CAUTION: 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.)
4. Review the wire numbering system described in Paragraph 3-4.
5. If all connectors are clean and properly seated, determine which wires in the chassis harness are in-
dicated by the OTC. For example, OTC P0748, indicates an open or a short-to-ground in the
solenoid A circuit - wires 222 and 223.
a. Check continuity of wires 222 and 223 by performing the following (Figure 4-1 ):
(1) Disconnect the red (J2) 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 and
connector probes in J 39775-CP, connect wire 222 and 223 to each other, being careful not to
distort the terminals. Jumping the wires together creates a circuit between wires 222 and 223.

(2) On the opposite end of the harness, check the continuity of the jumpered pair. No continuity in
a jumpered pair circuit (infinite resistance reading) indicates an open in the wire being tested.
Refer to OEM wiring harness repair procedure.
b. If the continuity check is good (0-2 Ohms resistance), remove the jumpers. Check the harness for
shorts between wires and shorts-to-ground by performing the following (refer to Figure 4-2):
(1) At the TCM end of the harness, touch one VOM 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 VOM shows zero to low resistance, or the meter's continuity beeper sounds,
there is a short between the two points being probed - wire-to-wire or wire-to-ground. Isolate
and repair the short.

4-2. CHECKING ATTRANSMISSION 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.
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
CAUTION: 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.)

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, OTC P0748
indicates an open or a short-to-ground in the solenoid "A" circuit - wires 222 and 223 (refer to
Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4).
a. At the transmission connector, check the resistance of the A solenoid circuit. Resistance of a
solenoid circuit should be 5.5-8 Ohms - covering a temperature range of -18°C to 149°C
(0°F to 300°F). Refer to Solenoid Resistance vs. Temperature chart in Appendix K. No continuity
in the circuit (infinite 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.

Circuit has continuity. This could also be due to an open solenoid
coil or bad connection.
* Refer to Appendix K V05735
Figure 4-3. Checking Continuity (Internal Harness)
b. If the resistance check is good, check the harness for shorts between wires and to ground by per-
forming the following (refer to Figure 4-4):
(1) At the transmission connector, touch one probe of the VOM 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 VOM 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.

SECTION 5-DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC)
5-1. DTC MEMORY

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are logged in a list in TCM memory. The DTCs contained in the list have
information recorded as shown in Table 5-1 (DTCs are examples). The TCM is capable of displaying all historical
and active DTCs.
Table 5-1. DTC List

P0562 System Voltage Low y y
P0875 Transmission Pressure Switch Reverse Circuit N N
P0743 Torque Converter Clutch PWM Solenoid Circuit N y
P1892 Throttle Position Sensor PWM Signal High Input N N
The following paragraphs define the different parts of the OTC list.
A. Code. The number assigned to a given fault condition in accordance with SAE J2012.
B. DTC Description. Name assigned to a given fault condition in accordance with SAE J2012.
C. Active Indicator. Indicates when a OTC is active. If a OTC is active, the Scan Tool displays Y (Yes). If
OTC is not active, N (No) is displayed.
D. CHECK TRANS Light. Indicates if CHECK TRANS Light/Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is
illuminated.
5-2. FAILURE RECORDS

Failure records contain a snapshot of transmission data that is stored in the TCM when DTCs are logged. A limit of
five failure records can be stored. When an additional OTC is logged, the new failure record pushes the oldest
record from the TCM memory. Table 5-2 illustrates the failure record data stored in the TCM when a OTC is set.

5-3. DTC READING AND DTC CLEARING

DTCs can be read and cleared by using the Allison DOC™ For PC scan tool. The use of Allison DOC™ For PC is
described in the instruction manual furnished with each tool and briefly in Appendix M of this manual.
A. Clearing DTCs
• DTCs will automatically clear after 40 code-free warm-up cycles.
• DTCs can be manually cleared by the Allison DOC™ For PC.
B. Clearing Active Indicators
• A DTC's active indicator can be cleared, which removes the DTC's shift inhibitions while the OTC
remains in the queue as inactive.
• The active indicator clearing method is to power down (all active indicators are cleared at TCM
power down).
If an active indicator is cleared while the transmission is locked in a forward range or

CAUTION: 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.
5-4. BEGINNING THE TROUBLESHOOTING PROCESS

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


NOTE: Information concerning specific items is contained in the appendices located in the back of this
manual. The appendices are referred to throughout the manual.
B. Solenoid Locations
Solenoid locations in the control module are as illustrated in Figure 5-1. Refer to Figure 5-1 as
necessary when using the OTC schematics.

V06225.01.00
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).
• OTC P0123 Pedal Position Sensor Circuit High Voltage is not active.


Conditions for Setting the DTC
OTC P0122 sets when the TCM detects a throttle position sensor voltage less than 0.55V for 5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• OTC P0122 is stored in the TCM history.
• The TCM uses the default throttle value.
• The TCM freezes shift adapts (DNA).
• The CHECK TRANS light is illuminated.
Conditions for Clearing the OTC/CHECK TRANS Light

A Scan Tool may be used to clear the code from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the OTC from the
TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without the OTC 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, 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.

Converter Flow Valve

New Hydraulic Path
...._ ___, ForTCC Signal
V07737.01.00
Circuit Description
The flow of transmission fluid starts in the transmission pan. Fluid is then drawn through the filter and internal
passages into the oil pump assembly. The oil pump pressurizes the fluid into main-pressure that is regulated at the
main-pressure regulator valve. From this point, fluid is directed to the F trim solenoid and to the control-main
regulator and control-main relief valve into the control-main filter assembly and on to all solenoids for use as control
pressure. Hot fluid leaving the torque converter is routed through the converter flow 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 fluid is returned to the transmission through the return cooler line and to the
transmission lube circuit. The automatic transmission fluid 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 OTC P0218 sets.


• OTCs P0711, P0712, P0713 are not active.
• Engine speed is greater than 200 rpm for more than 5 seconds.

OTC P0218 sets when the TCM detects a transmission sump temperature greater than 126°C (252°F) for
10 seconds.

• The TCM does not illuminate the CHECK TRANS light.
• The TCM records the operating conditions when the conditions for setting the OTC are met. The TCM stores
this information as Failure Records.
• The TCM defaults to "hot mode" shift schedule where 4th-range is held and TCC is inhibited to increase engine
speed and improve cooler flow.

• A Scan Tool may be used to clear the code from the TCM history.
• The TCM automatically clears the OTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles
without the OTC recurring.
• The TCM cancels the OTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the OTC passes test.
Diagnostic Aids
• Verify the customer's driving habits, such as trailer towing, etc.
• The Scan Tool transmission fluid temperature (TFT) should rise steadily during warm-up cycles and then
stabilize.
• OTC P0218 may set after OTC P0711 (not active) has set. Follow the diagnostic table for OTC P0711 before
proceeding to the diagnostic for OTC P0218. Repairing the condition that set OTC P0711 will likely eliminate
OTC P0218.

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
pins 102 and 104 in the J1 connector at the TCM. Battery direct voltage is supplied to pin 103 at the J1 connector.

• The test becomes enabled when the engine has been running above 400 rpm for at least 0.5 seconds.

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 OTC is set with a failure response.

When OTC P0561 is active, the following conditions will occur:
• Hydraulic default is commanded. Shift selector position and hydraulic state of logic valves determine the range
attained.
• The CHECK TRANS light illuminates.

Diagnostic Aids
• This OTC indicates a variation in ignition voltage or battery direct voltage. Common ignition circuit problems for
this OTC are a fault in the feed wires to the TCM, a defective ignition switch, or a large vehicle accessory load
on the ignition circuit. Battery direct voltage problems may be due to loose or corroded battery cables, a bad
connection at the battery direct feed terminal (103), or an internal TCM failure due to a burnt trace.
• A vehicle charging system failure may cause this OTC under certain circumstances.
• This code may indicate that an internal voltage problem has occurred inside the TCM. The use of a substitute

DTC P0606 Controller Internal Performance

Circuit Description
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) completes numerous scheduled tasks during normal operation. If one of
the scheduled tasks fails to complete within a specific time limit the TCM will re-attempt this task.
NOTE: The presence of DTC P0606 indicates a TCM software error has occurred and the Allison
Transmission Service Department should be contacted at 1-800-252-5283.

The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V for a 12V TCM, or greater
than 18V and less than 32V for a 24 V TCM.
This test is run during the entire ignition cycle.

OTC P0606 sets if a task fails to complete after two consecutive attempts.

• When OTC P0606 is active, the transmission will lock in N (Neutral).

A Scan Tool can clear the code from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the OTC from the TCM history
if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure.

DTC P0614 Torque Control Data Mismatch - ECM/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 580 lb ft, 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.

• No OTC U2105 CAN bus error.
• Engine speed is greater than 200 rpm and less than 7500 rpm for 5 seconds.
• This test runs for 30 seconds for the first 20 engine starts after the engine is detected on the J1939 CAN.
• Engine must be identified by the TCM as an approved make and model.
• Engine's torque configuration message (peak torque) must be greater than allowed without SEM (above
580 lb ft gross input torque).
NOTE: Unapproved engines or low torque engines will operate without setting a P0614.
P0614 sets when the TCM detects one of the following conditions:
• TCM detects a valid engine having the proper torque rating but ECM software is not supporting all the
messaging necessary for SEM.
• TCM detects a valid engine having a torque rating exceeding 580 lb ft that does not support Lower Range
Torque Protection (LRTP) messaging.
NOTE: Valid engines with a torque rating exceeding 580 lb ft must have software that is compatible with
LRTP or a P0614 is set.

• If the TCM and engine ECM software are not compatible, the transmission will be restricted to reverse, neutral,
first range, or third range.

DTC P0701 Transmission Control System Performance

Circuit Description
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) monitors the status of the pressure switches at start-up to detect the
presence of hydraulic pressure.

• The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V (12V TCM).
• This test is run after engine start-up and runs as part of the transmission hydraulic initialization.

OTC P0701 sets when transmission fluid temperature is above -25°C (-13°F) 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.

Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC

TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure.
Diagnostic Aids
• OTC 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 filter may cause this code to set. The control main filter is to be changed after the first
8000 km (5,000 miles). Failure to change the filter at this interval may cause this code and other pressure
switch codes to set.
• A cracked internal suction filter tube or damaged tube seal may cause this OTC to set.
• A stuck lube regulator valve (located in the front support) may cause this OTC to set. A high static oil level with
the vehicle running is often a good indication of this complaint. Often pressure switch OTCs are set in this
scenario.

V06217.01.00
Circuit Description
The installation of a transmission-mounted Neutral Start/Back-Up (NSBU) switch is required. This switch mounts
directly onto the transmission housing from the outside and detects the angular position of the shift selector shaft.
This position is communicated to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) so that certain vehicle control functions
can be coordinated with the position of the shift controls. The NSBU switch has redundant circuitry to alert the TCM
in the event of a single wire or switch failure.
The neutral signal output of the NSBU switch is typically used as confirmation that the transmission is in
N (Neutral) before the engine starter is engaged. The NSBU switch is interfaced to the starter circuit with
weatherproof electrical connectors. The reverse signal provision may be used to activate vehicle back-up lights
and/or reverse warning devices.

• The components are powered and ignition voltage is greater than 9V and less than 18V.


Conditions for Setting the DTC - Software Levels Prior To N11
OTC P0708 sets when the TCM detects an invalid condition or parity errors occurring over consecutive ignition
cycles.
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets - Software Levels Prior To N11
• The diagnostic response is to shut all solenoids off and allow the transmission to operate in hydraulic default
mode or "limp home". Shift selector and hydraulic state of logic valves determines range attained.
• DTC P0708 is stored in the TCM history.
• Due to this failure and associated responses, P0722 and P0845 may also set.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets - Software Level N11 And Later
• The CHECK TRANS light illuminates but no diagnostic response is implemented until after 50 warm-up cycles
occur when a NSBU switch parity error is active. A warm-up cycle is defined as a 20 degree change in
transmission temperature.
• The diagnostic response is to shut all solenoids off and allow the transmission to operate in hydraulic default
mode or "limp home." Shift selector and hydraulic state of logic valves determines range attained.
• Due to this failure and associated responses, P0722 and P0845 may also set.
• A shift to R (Reverse) will allow reverse range if a P0876 (previously P1714) is not active.
Conditions for Clearing the MIUDTC

Diagnostic Aids
A bent terminal.
A damaged terminal.
A chafed wire.
• When a P0708 is shown in failure records, this indicates that conditions to set a P0708 were present at one
time. If the condition was due to moisture intrusion, the moisture may no longer be present, and thus you may
not be able to reproduce the DTC. In such case, variables such as vehicle mileage, external physical condition
of the switch should be factored in when making a decision to replace the NSBU switch.
NOTE: Due to the TCM logic used to detect and set a P0708, this code can remain active even after a
NSBU switch replacement is complete and the ignition has been cycled. It is important to clear all
active DTCs from the TCM after servicing the NSBU switch.

V06214.01.00
Circuit Description
The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is part of 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 fluid. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) supplies a 5V reference signal to
the TFT sensor and measures the voltage drop in the circuit. When the transmission is cold, the sensor resistance
is high and the TCM detects high signal voltage. As the transmission fluid temperature warms to a normal
operating temperature, the resistance becomes less and the signal voltage decreases. The TCM uses this
information to control shift quality and to determine torque converter clutch applies.
If the TCM detects the TFT sensor resistance has no change, an unrealistic change in a short amount of time, or
multiple changes within seconds, OTC P0711 sets.


• No DTC P0721, P0722, P0717, P0716, P0713, or P0712.
• The engine speed is greater than 200 rpm for more than 5 seconds.
• The engine speed is greater than 450 rpm for more than 2 seconds with output speed of 100 rpm or above.
This would indicate that a range is selected.
• A valid start-up temperature is detected.

DTC P0711 sets when the TCM detects one of the following conditions:
• 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 10°C (50°F) for 1 O occurrences.
• The temperature from start up decreases 40°C (104°F) or more within duration of 6 or more seconds.

• The TCM stores OTC P0711 in TCM history.
• The TCM uses calibration default for temperature values.

• 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.
Diagnostic Aids
• The Scan Tool transmission fluid temperature (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.

Circuit Description
temperature of the transmission fluid. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) supplies a 5V reference to the
thermistor. The TCM's internal impedance provides resistance at the TCM so that voltage drop can be measured
between the TCM and the thermistor. When the transmission is cold, the sensor resistance is high and the TCM
detects high signal voltage. As the transmission fluid temperature warms to a normal operating temperature, the
resistance becomes less and the signal voltage decreases. The TCM uses this information to control shift quality
and to determine torque converter clutch applies.
If the TCM detects a continuous open or short-to-power in the TFT sensor or signal circuit, OTC P0713 sets.


• No OTC P0711 or P0712.
• Engine speed is greater than 200 rpm for more than 5 seconds.
• The engine has been running for 20 seconds with a coolant temperature above 20°C (68°F).

OTC P0713 sets when the TCM detects a voltage greater than 4.84V for 2.5 seconds.

• TCM uses calibration default for temperature values.

• The TCM cancels the OTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition has been cycled.

V06219.01.00
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 flux 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 fields. The cable is also shielded to protect from voltage-related fields.
Noise from other sources is eliminated by using two-wire differential inputs at the TCM.

• OTC P0717, P0721, or P0722 is not active.
• Turbine speed is above 200 rpm.
• Shift is complete and range attained is not neutral.

OTC 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.

• When OTC 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.
• The TCM freezes shift adapts.

Diagnostic Aids
A bent terminal.
A damaged terminal.
A chafed wire.
• If the condition is intermittent, connect the Scan Tool and select the speed sensor indicated by the code. 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.

Circuit Description
If the vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brake system (ABS), an interface between the ABS and TCM is required.
This interface allows disengagement of the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) 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 113. This may be a ground signal direct from the ABS controller or a positive signal from the
ABS controller that powers a relay field coil to supply a ground through the relay contacts. (Some ABS systems
require that the ground signal be switched through a relay.)
• 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, P0722 are not active.
OTC P0719 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.

Circuit Description
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) uses input from the turbine speed sensor and output speed sensor to
determine gear ratios. The TCM then compares the known gear ratio to the calculated gear ratio for the current
range.

• Output speed exceeds 200 rpm.
• First range is selected and attained.
• OTC P0716, P0717, P0721, or P0722 is not active.
OTC P0731 sets when the calculated first range ratio (steady state) differs from the known first range ratio.

The transmission will fail to 2nd or 5th range.
If the shift selector is moved to N (Neutral), the transmission will shift to N (Neutral).
If the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), the transmission will shift to R (Reverse) unless the
transmission is compromised by overspeeding or a direction change; then it will lock in N (Neutral).

• Incorrect ratio codes typically indicate mechanical problems with specific clutches, i.e. C1 or C5 for 1st range.
• An incorrect ratio code could indicate a hydraulically failed solenoid. Check the OTC information for the specific
solenoid.
• You may have to drive the vehicle to experience the fault. Clutch test mode can be used to check stall speed.

Circuit Description
The torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid, solenoid F, is a pulse width modulated solenoid. Pulse width
modulation (PWM) occurs when the signal from the transmission control module (TCM) to a solenoid is modulated
at an established frequency, causing the steel check ball in the solenoid to rapidly open and close the solenoid
passage. This serves to vary the output fluid pressure.

• OTC P0122, P0123, P0716, P0717, P0721, P0722, or PO? 43 (previously P1860) is not active.
• TCC is commanded on.
• TCM initialization is in process or engine speed is greater than 200 rpm and less than 7500 rpm for 5 seconds.

OTC P0743 sets when the TCM detects an open circuit, a short to power, or a short to ground in the solenoid F
circuit for 6 seconds or longer.


• Reverse operation is disabled.

Diagnostic Aids
• If this OTC is cleared and does not return, but the TCC appears to be cycling, an intermittent circuit connection
may exist that is not detected by the TCM since the circuit error must be present for more than 6 seconds. If a
short to ground occurs at wire 229, the TCC will apply regardless of the range selected. A shudder in
reverse may be caused by the intermittent apply or release of C5 clutch through the F solenoid valve.
• 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 damaged terminal.
• Inspect the OEM wiring harness routing looking for possible contact points where chafing could occur. Moving
parts on the vehicle could be contacting the harness. Items to check would include the parking brake drum,
suspension components, transmission shift linkage, etc.
• Inspect the internal transmission wiring harness for possible contact areas where chafing may occur.
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.
• 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 the OTC was set.
• If the OTC appears to be temperature related, suspect a defective F solenoid. It is possible for a shift solenoid
to be temperature sensitive causing resistance values to fluctuate. This may cause an intermittent OTC to be
set.

DTC P0746 (Previously P1720) Solenoid A Controlled Clutch Stuck Off
REFER TO HYDRAULIC SCHEMATIC

{APPENDIX H)
Circuit Description
Trim solenoid A is used to control on-coming, off-going, and holding pressure in any one of five clutches. This
solenoid is referred to as a Pressure Proportional to Current (PPG) 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 the solenoid A will vary depending on the shift that is being
completed.

• Turbine speed is greater than 60 rpm.
• Output speed is greater than 125 rpm.
• Transmission is at normal operating temperature.
• OTC P0708, P0716, P0717, P0721, P0722, P0875, or P0876 is not active.

OTC P0746 sets when the TCM detects an incorrect oncoming ratio (range-to-range) for an accumulated number
of occurrences.

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).
a direction change, the transmission will shift to N (Neutral).



Diagnostic Aids
• This DTC indicates the on-coming clutch being controlled by solenoid A is not applied or applied too slowly.
This could indicate a leak or obstruction in a specific clutch apply circuit. Check the Scan Tool Failure Record
data for previous or current range information when the DTC was set to determine the specific shift when the
DTC was set. Refer to the Solenoid and Clutch Table (Appendix C) to determine which clutch circuit is suspect.
• Inspect and confirm that the OEM engine rating does not exceed the transmission model rating. Also inspect for the
presence of an add-on engine power package or module. Whenever the engine horsepower or torque is increased
over the transmission factory rating, a shift flare condition may occur leading to the diagnostic code indicated.
NOTE: Clutch failure due to an OEM engine rating exceeding the Allison transmission rating, or the
installation of a engine power package or module will not be covered under the Allison transmission
warranty.

NOTE: Wire 222 is a battery direct power source for trim solenoid A. V06223.01.00
Circuit Description
Trim solenoid A is used to control on-coming, off-going, and holding pressure to any one of the five clutches. This
solenoid is referred to as a Pressure Proportional to Current (PPC) solenoid since the pressure output is
proportional to the amount of controlled current commanded by the TCM.
The solenoid operates at a very high 1000 Hz frequency. Unlike the pulse width modulated Torque Converter Clutch
(TCC) solenoid, where the ball follows the pulse width square wave, the PPC ball remains stationary due to the high
frequency at which the solenoid operates. This allows the ball to move in a linear up and down motion proportional to
the current commanded from the TCM. This supplies the desired signal pressure to control the trim valve.

• Engine crank time is under 4 seconds.
OTC P0748 is set when one of the following conditions is detected for 125 milliseconds.
• Open circuit - TCM commanded duty cycle between 31 percent and 87 percent with no current present at trim
solenoid A.


• Short to ground - TCM commanded duty cycle is over 87 percent with a current of less than 1.0 ampere at
trim solenoid A.
• Short to power - TCM commanded duty cycle is under 15 percent with electrical current present.
• Whenever a P0748, P0778 combination is set in failure records, this is generally caused by having the
transmission harness disconnected at the main transmission connector while the vehicle ignition is ON. Check
the connection at the transmission and clear codes.

• When OTC PO? 48 is active, the following conditions will occur:
If failure occurs while in a forward range, the transmission shifts to 1st, 3rd, or 5th range.
transmission is compromised by a direction change; then the transmission will shift to or lock in N (Neutral).

Diagnostic Aids
The diagnostic test performed to detect this OTC is very sensitive. Therefore, there is a high probability that an
intermittent circuit condition may be causing this OTC to set. Check for the following conditions at the OEM harness
first, then at the transmission internal harness.
A bent terminal.
A damaged terminal.
A chafed wire.
Inspect OEM wiring harness routing, looking for possible contact points where chafing could occur. Moving
parts on the vehicle could be contacting the harness. Check for contact at the parking brake drum, suspen-
sion components, transmission shift linkage, etc.
Inspect the internal transmission wiring harness for possible contact areas where chafing may occur.

determine transmission range and/or certain vehicle operating variables such as temperature, run time etc.
• If this OTC appears to be temperature-related, suspect a defective solenoid. A failing solenoid may be
temperature sensitive causing resistance values to fluctuate. This may cause an intermittent OTC to be set.

NOTE: Wire 231 is a 12V DC ignition power source for shift solenoids C, D, and E. V06230 01.00
Circuit Description
Shift solenoid C is a normally closed (N/C) solenoid that provides control main pressure to stroke the C shift valve.
The TCM determines the proper solenoid command logic to move the C shift valve to attain a particular range
requested. A pressure switch, located at the end of the shift valve, sends shift valve position feedback to the TCM.

OTC P0763 is set when the TCM detects one of the following conditions for more than 100 milliseconds:
• Open circuit or short to ground detected when C solenoid is commanded OFF.

• Short to power is detected when C solenoid is commanded ON.


If the failure occurs while in a forward range, the transmission shifts to 1st, 3rd, or 5th range.
If the shift selector is moved to N (Neutral), the transmission will shift to neutral.
if the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), the transmission shifts to neutral or reverse.
If the shift selector is moved to a forward range or reverse and transmission is compromised by
overspeeding or direction change, transmission shifts to neutral.
If this failure is present at the solenoid electrical feed wire 231, the response is hydraulic default.
• OTC P0763 is stored in TCM history.
• The CHECK TRANS light illuminates on first occurrence.

A scan tool may be used to clear the code from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the OTC from the
Diagnostic Aids
• The diagnostic test performed to detect this OTC is very sensitive. Therefore, there is a high probability that an
intermittent circuit condition may be causing this OTC to set. Make sure you check for the following conditions
at the OEM harness first and then at the transmission internal harness.
A bent terminal.
A damaged terminal.
A chafed wire.
sion components, transmission shift linkage etc.
This data can be useful in reproducing the failure mode where OTC was set.
• If the OTC appears to be temperature related, suspect a defective shift solenoid. It is possible for a shift
solenoid to be temperature sensitive causing resistance values to fluctuate. This may cause an intermittent
OTC to be set.
• If the circuit problem (open or short) is present at the 231 solenoid feed wire, other shift solenoid electrical
OTCs may be present (C, 0, E electrical codes).

DTC P0776 {Previously P1721) Solenoid B Controlled Clutch Stuck Off

{APPENDIX H)
Circuit Description
Trim solenoid B is used to control on-coming, off-going, and holding pressure to any one of the five clutches. This
solenoid is referred to as a Pressure Proportional to Current (PPC) solenoid since the output hydraulic pressure
clutch is slipping. The clutch being controlled by the solenoid B will vary depending on the shift that was being
completed.

• 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.

The solenoid operates at a very high 1000 Hz frequency. Unlike the pulse width modulated Torque Converter
Clutch (TCC) solenoid, where the ball follows the pulse width square wave, the PPC ball remains stationary due to
the high frequency at which the solenoid operates. This allows the ball to move in a linear up and down motion
proportional to the current commanded from the TCM. This supplies the desired signal pressure to control the trim
valve.
• Engine crank time is under 4 seconds.


OTC P0748 is set when one of the following conditions is detected for 125 milliseconds.
• Open circuit - TCM commanded duty cycle between 31 percent and 87 percent with no current present at trim
solenoid A.
• Short to ground - TCM commanded duty cycle is over 87 percent with a current of less than 1.0 ampere at
trim solenoid A.
• Short to power - TCM commanded duty cycle is under 15 percent with electrical current present.
• Whenever a P0748, P0778 combination is set in failure records, this is generally caused by having the
transmission harness disconnected at the main transmission connector while the vehicle ignition is ON. Check
the connection at the transmission and clear codes.

If the failure occurs while in a forward range, the transmission will shift to tst, 3rd, or 5th range.
If the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), the transmission will shift to reverse.
If the shift selector is moved to a forward range or reverse and the transmission is compromised by over-
speeding or a direction change, the transmission shifts to neutral.

Diagnostic Aids
The diagnostic test performed to detect this OTC is very sensitive. Therefore, there is a high probability that an
intermittent circuit condition may be causing this OTC to set. Check for the following conditions at the OEM harness
first, then at the transmission internal harness.

Circuit Description
The Pressure Switch Manifold (PSM) is a multiple-switch assembly made up of three normally open (N/0) and one
normally closed (N/C) pressure switches. The C pressure switch monitors C shift valve positioning and relays it to
the TCM. When C pressure switch is in the open state, C shift valve should be in the destroked position.

• Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 5V.
• C shift valve is destroked.
• Transmission temperature is above -25°C (-13°F).
• Vehicle shutdown is not in process.


OTC P0840 sets during steady state operation when C shift valve is in the destroked state (commanded OFF) and
C pressure switch status is detected as stroked (commanded ON). Steady state is defined as attaining a valid
range. The intent of this code is to detect shorts to ground in the pressure switch wiring circuit or the pressure
switch.
Later software levels incorporate retry logic that allows the TCM to command C solenoid ON and OFF. If the
pressure switch state does not change, and remains in the ON state, OTCs P0840 and P0842 will set.

if the shift selector is moved to R (Reverse), the transmission shifts to reverse.
If the shift selector is moved to a forward range or reverse and the transmission is compromised by over-
speeding or direction change, the transmission shifts to neutral.

Diagnostic Aids
A bent terminal.
A damaged terminal.
A chafed wire.
• When only a P0840 is set, look for an intermittent short to ground at the pressure switch circuit or intermittent
hydraulic failure (sticking valve). This code is set when the condition occurs more than 3 times during the
current drive cycle. See Appendix A, Section B - Finding an Intermittent Fault.
• When a P0840 and P0842 are set in combination, this may indicate a short to ground at the pressure switch
circuit or the shift valve is stuck in the stroked state. See Section 4 - Beginning the Troubleshooting Process.

Circuit Description
• C shift valve is commanded to the ON (stroked) position.


OTC P0843 sets during steady state operation when C shift valve is in the stroked state (commanded ON) and C
pressure switch status is detected as destroked (commanded OFF). Steady state is defined as attaining a valid
range. The intent of this code is to detect an open condition in the pressure switch wiring circuit or the pressure
switch.
Later software levels incorporate retry logic that allows the TCM to command C solenoid OFF and ON. If the
pressure switch state does not change, and remains in the OFF state, OTCs P0841 and P0843 will set.


Diagnostic Aids
A bent terminal.
A damaged terminal.
A chafed wire.
• When only a OTC P0843 is set, look for an intermittent open condition at the pressure switch circuit or an
intermittent hydraulic failure (sticking valve). This code is set when the condition is present more than 3 times

OTC P0875 sets when P (Park), N (Neutral), or a forward range is selected and the reverse pressure switch state
remains in the mechanically closed/electrically ON position for a period of time that is calibration dependent.

Calibration Dependent - The transmission will either lock-to-neutral or shift to 3rd or 5th range.

• If a P0875 (previously P1713) is shown in failure records as being logged first on the failure list followed by
P0872 (previously P1711) combined with P0708, this generally indicates a NSBU internal switch failure. Often
when the codes are cleared they do not return. This may be due to moisture that was present at the time the
code was logged, causing an internal short. Inspect the NSBU switch linkage for proper adjustment and for
signs of damage. If the shift linkage is properly adjusted and no damage is noted, replacement of the switch
may be indicated.

DTC P2773 Torque Control Request Ignored - ECM/TCM

Circuit Description
Shift Energy Management (SEM) allows the Transmission Control Module (TCM) to request torque reduction from
the engine controller. By reducing torque during upshifts, shifts can be made quicker and at a more consistent
output torque. This increases clutch life by reducing clutch engagement temperatures.

• OTC U2105 CAN bus error is not active.
• Engine speed is greater than 200 rpm but less than 7500 rpm for 5 seconds.
• SEM has been activated for this vehicle.

OTC P2773 sets when the TCM detects one of the following conditions for a minimum of four upshifts (consecutive
or nonconsecutive) during one drive cycle:
• Engine ECM is not responding to torque reduction signal request from the TCM.
• A nonapproved J 1939 device is interfering with the torque reduction signal request.

• All 4-5 upshifts and full throttle 3-4 upshifts are inhibited.

A Scan Tool may be used to clear the code from the TCM history. The OTC is cleared if, for one ignition cycle,
actual engine torque follows TCM commanded torque for 20 consecutive upshifts. To be counted as one upshift,
engine torque demand must be above 80 N-m (59 lb ft).
Diagnostic Aids
• It will be necessary to drive the vehicle with heavy to moderate throttle settings for at least four upshift cycles in
order to set a OTC P2773.
• If OTC P2773 becomes active shortly AFTER an engine update and the troubleshooting procedure for P2773
has been performed, see Resetting of TCM Parameters to Support Engine Update, Section 3-7.
Test Description
2. This step tests for the proper ECM torque request response.

Circuit Description
Solenoid G is a normally closed (N/C) solenoid used to modulate the transmission main pressure schedule. The
TCM commands the G solenoid ON when specific transmission and engine conditions are met. When G solenoid is
applied, pressure is routed to the main regulator valve. This in turn reduces the main pressure schedule and
improves the volume of oil sent through the overage circuit. By modulating main pressure, cooler flow can be
increased, allowing improved cooling and reduced pump noise.

• The TCM must autodetect G solenoid for this test to run.
OTC P281 O is set when the TCM detects an open circuit, short to ground or short to power at G solenoid circuit for
more than 2 seconds.


When OTC P281 O is active, the following conditions will occur:
• OTC P281 O is stored in TCM history.


Diagnostic Aids
• When this code is set there will be a noticeable reduction of engine performance.
• An intermittent circuit condition may allow this OTC to set. Make sure you check for the following conditions at

SAE J1939-11 V06460.01.00
Circuit Description
J1939 is the protocol currently used in medium duty applications to allow communication between an
electronically-controlled engine and the Allison 1000 and 2000 Product Families transmission. A signal is sent over
a two-wire network harness that incorporates two 120 Ohm resistors in parallel. There are two versions of J1939
currently in use in the medium duty market. Version J1939-11, the most widely used, incorporates a third shield
wire. There is also J1939-15, which uses a two-wire connection without shielding.


OTC U0073 is set when the TCM detects no communication on the Controller Area Network (CAN) backbone
harness for 3 seconds or more. This may be due to a shorted wire to ground or power in the CAN backbone
harness.

• The TCM defaults to the last-used adaptive shift values and engine throttle percentage is calculated from
torque clip speed.


A Scan Tool may be used to clear the code from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the
Diagnostic Aids
• If communication can be established at the vehicle nine-pin connector and U0073 is listed in failure records,
this indicates an intermittent short condition was present.
• When diagnosing for intermittent shorts-to-ground, massage the wiring harness while watching the test
equipment for a change. Refer to Section 4, Wire Check Procedures.
• If an active U0073 is present, Scan Tool communication will not be possible. The cause of the active DTC must
be discovered and repaired before communication can be established with the TCM.
• A short between wires 129 and 132 within the CAN harness can cause this DTC.
• A short between wires 129 and 131 within the CAN harness can cause this DTC.
• A short to a vehicle ground and wire 129 can cause this DTC.
• A short to vehicle power and wire 132 can cause this DTC.
A bent terminal.
A damaged terminal.

,_ CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN} __,
SAE J1939-11 V06460.01.00
Circuit Description
J1939 is the protocol currently used in medium duty applications to allow communication between an
electronically-controlled engine and the Allison 1000 and 2000 Product Families transmission. A signal is sent over
a two-wire network harness that incorporates two 120 Ohm resistors in parallel. There are two versions of J1939
currently in use in the medium duty market. Version J1939-11, the most widely used, incorporates a third shield
wire. There is also J1939-15, which uses a two-wire connection without shielding.

OTC U0100 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.

• The TCM defaults to last-used adaptive shift values and engine throttle percentage is calculated from torque
converter slip speed.



Diagnostic Aids
• Often an active U0100 will prevent Scan Tool communication with the TCM. Install J1939 T-adapter harness
J 43890 to confirm that the TCM is operational. This harness is only useful to confirm that the TCM is able to
communicate with the Scan Tool. An active U0100 will be set whenever J 43890 is used.
• When Scan Tool communication with the TCM can be established at the nine-pin vehicle connector and the
U0100 is active, generally it points to an open connection at wires 129 or 132 at the ECM or a terminal in the
wrong location at the engine ECM connector.
• Engine ECM parameters improperly set can cause this OTC to set.
• A missing terminating resistor can cause this OTC to set. This will prevent Scan Tool communication with the
TCM or produce very erratic communication.
• If OTC U0100 becomes active shortly AFTER an engine update and the troubleshooting procedure for U0100
has been performed, see Resetting of TCM Parameters to Support Engine Update, Section 3-7.
A bent terminal.
A damaged terminal.
A chafed wire.
• 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.
• 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 a U0100 setting. For a U0100 to set, an
open condition needs to be present for 3 seconds.
• For proper data communications, it is necessary to have two 120 Ohm resistors installed in parallel at the
J 1939 CAN backbone harness.
• If this OTC is present in new vehicle, harsh shifting may occur due to adaptive function inhibit (DNA).

SECTION 6-INPUT AND OUTPUT FUNCTIONS
6-1. 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. Specific vocational requirements can be satisfied 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. Typical input functions are:
• Secondary Shift Schedule

• PTO Enable
• Auxiliary Function Range Inhibit
• Exhaust Brake and Preselect Request (Standard, Optional, and Special)
• Automatic Neutral for PTO
• Reverse Enable
• Kickdown
• Refuse Packer Step Switch
• Overdrive Disable
B. Output Functions
Output function signals send data from the TCM for use in controlling the operation of non-
transmission 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.
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:
• Sump Temperature Indicator

• Range Indicator
• Output Speed Indicator

APPENDIX A-DIAGNOSING INTERMITTENT DTCs
Intermittent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (OTC) are a result of faults that are detected, logged, and then disappear,
only to recur later. If, when troubleshooting, a OTC is cleared in anticipation of it recurring and it does not, check the
items in the following list for the fault's source.
A. Circuit Inspection
1. Intermittent power/ground problems - can cause voltage problems during TCM diagnostic checks
which can set various DTCs depending upon where the TCM was in the diagnostic process.
2. Damaged terminals.
3. Dirty or corroded terminals.
4. 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.
5. Connectors not fully mated. Check for missing or damaged locktabs.
6. Screws or other sharp pointed objects pushed into or through one of the harnesses.
7. Harnesses which have rubbed through and may be allowing intermittent electrical contact between
two wires or between wires and vehicle frame members.
8. Broken wires within the braiding and insulation.
B. Finding an Intermittent Fault Condition

To find a fault, like one of those listed, examine all connectors and the external wiring harnesses. Harness
routing may make it difficult 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 OTC is an electronic part exposed to excessive vibration,
heat, or moisture. Examples of this are:
1. Exposed harness wires subjected to moisture.

2. A defective connector seal allows moisture to enter the connector or part.
3. 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 OTC may not be repeated
consistently because different circuits may have this condition on each check. The last step in finding an
intermittent OTC is to observe if the OTC is set during sudden changes in the operating environment.
Troubleshooting an intermittent OTC requires looking for common conditions that are present whenever the
OTC is diagnosed. Use the failure record information from the scan tool to identify the conditions when the
DTC was set.

APPENDIX A-DIAGNOSING INTERMITTENT DTCs
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 OTC, it is easier to find the cause. If the time between OTC
occurrences is very short, troubleshooting is easier than if it is several weeks or more between OTC
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.

APPENDIX 8-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 specifications provided.
MAIN PRESSURE TAP

BOTTOM VIEW
V05742
Figure B-1. Main Pressure Check Point
Observe safety precautions during hydraulic pressure check procedures. All

personnel must stand clear of the vehicle. Take precautions against movement of the
WARNING! vehicle. Be sure that gauges (vacuum, pressure, tachometer) have extended lines so
that they can be read from inside the vehicle.
1. All transmission fluid level and pressure checks must be made at normal operating temperatures
71-93°C (160-200°F) sump; 82-104°C (180-220°F) converter-out. Check transmission fluid level.
2. Connect a 0-2070 kPa (0-300 psi) oil pressure gauge at the main pressure tap (Figure 8-1 ). Use
the scan tool to check engine rpm. See Table 8-1 for main pressure levels.

APPENDIX C-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 C-1
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.

2. Insert the new terminal to be crimped in the J 42215 crimping tool. There is a spring-loaded
terminal positioner at the front of the tool to hold the terminal in place. Squeeze the crimper
handles for a few clicks to start the crimping process but leave room to insert the wire end.
3. Insert the bare wire end into the terminal. Squeeze the crimper handles to complete the crimping
process and until the crimper handles open when released to remove the terminal/wire from the
tool.

C. Terminal Crimping (cont'd)

4. Complete terminal installation for Main Transmission Connector as follows: (Figure E-1 B)
a. Insert the wire seal in the back of the connector.
b. Push the terminal/wire assembly through the proper hole in the back of the wire seal. Push the
wire in until the terminal clicks into position. Gently pull rearward on the wire to be sure that the
terminal is fully seated. Install cavity plugs as needed.
c. Install the lock assist or secondary lock into the connector body.
d. Close the conduit clip around the conduit and lock the clip into the rear of the connector body.
5. Complete terminal installation of the TCM Connectors as follows: (Figure E-1 A)
a. Align the locking posts on the connector with the seal and push the locking posts through the
seal into the mating holes in the strain relief (if the connector was removed from the strain
relief).
b. Push the terminal/wire assembly through the proper hole in the back of the seal. Push the wire
in until the terminal clicks into position.
NOTE: All terminals must be properly positioned to install the retainer in Step (5c).
c. Install the retainer on the connector body to lock the terminals in position. Pull gently on the wire
to be sure that the terminal is fully seated. Install cavity plugs as needed.
d. Position the conduit inside the strain relief and snap the strain relief halves together.

B. Terminal Removal
NOTE: Do not solder crimps.
1. Insert the needle end of terminal remover J 35689-A into the small notch between the connector
and the terminal to be removed (Figure E-2, View A). Push the lock tang toward the terminal.
2. Push the wire and terminal out of the connector (this is a "pull-to-seat" terminal).
3. Pull the terminal as far as necessary from the connector. This will be limited by the number of other
wires inserted into the connector and by the distance between the back side of the connector and
the beginning of the harness covering.
4. If a terminal is to be replaced, cut the terminal between the core and the insulation crimp to
minimize wire loss.
C. Terminal Crimping - Speed Sensor Terminals (Standard Crimping Tool)

1. If a spare wire is used, the wire should be pushed through the proper hole in the strain relief
(if used), through the wire seal, and out the other side of the connector before stripping.
2. Carefully strip 4.5 mm ±0.5 mm (0.18 ±0.02 inch) of insulation from the end of the wire. Unless the
insulation crimp is overtight, Automatic Wire Stripper J 35615 will remove the insulation and crimp
from an old terminal without damaging the wire.
3. Place the core crimp portion of the terminal on the bed of anvil "E" and squeeze the crimper
enough to keep the terminal from dropping (Figure E-2, View B).
4. Position the wire core in the terminal and squeeze the crimper tool to complete the core crimp.
Be sure to orient the terminal so that it is properly aligned with the terminal cavity in the
connector. The terminal should be positioned so that the lock tang is on the side of the cavity
which has the notch in the middle (for the remover tool).

C. Terminal Crimping - Speed Sensor Terminals (Standard Crimping Tool) (cont'd)

5. Position the insulation crimp of the terminal on anvil "C" so that the entire insulation crimp area and
a portion of the terminal between the core and insulation crimp areas are supported by the anvil.
Complete the insulation crimp.
6. Be sure the lock tang is lifted to allow proper reseating of the terminal.
7. Pull on the wire to pull the terminal completely into the cavity. (A click will be heard and the
terminal should stay in place if the wire is pushed.)
D. Terminal Crimping Using Alternate Tool J 35123

1. If a spare wire is used, the wire should be pushed through the proper hole in the strain relief (if
used) and the wire seal, and out the other side of the connector prior to stripping.
2. Insert the remover tool in the front side of the connector to release the locktab, and push the
terminal out the front of connector. Pull the terminal and wire out the front of the connector to
complete Steps (3) through (7).
3. Push open the terminal holder on the crimper tool J 35123 and insert a terminal into the opening
marked 18-16 (Figure E-2, View C) so that the crimp ends point up. Release the terminal holder.
4. Slightly close the crimping tool (close until one click is heard) but do not start to crimp the terminal.
Place the terminal on the wire so it is in the same position as it will be when pulled back into the
connector. The terminal should be positioned so that the lock tang is on the side of the cavity which
has the notch in the middle (for the remover tool).
5. Insert the wire into the terminal until the wire contacts the holder. (By doing this, the core and
insulation should be properly positioned for the core and insulation crimp wings.)

B. Terminal Removal
NOTE: Do not solder crimps.
1 . Remove the secondary lock.

2. Insert the needle end of terminal remover J 35689-A into the small notch between the connector
and the terminal to be removed (Figure E-3, View A). Push the lock tang toward the terminal.
3. Pull the wire and terminal out the rear of the connector (this is a "push-to-seat" terminal).
4. Pull the terminal as far as necessary from the connector. This will be limited by the number of other
wires inserted into the connector and by the distance between the back side of the connector and
the beginning of the harness covering.
minimize wire loss.
C. Terminal Crimping
1. Carefully strip 4.5 mm ±0.5 mm (0.18 ±0.02 inch) of insulation from the end of the wire. Unless the
insulation crimp is overtight, Automatic Wire Stripper J 35615 will remove the insulation and crimp
from an old terminal without damaging the wire.
2. Place the core crimp portion of the terminal on the bed of anvil "E" and squeeze the crimper
enough to keep the terminal from dropping (Figure E-3, View B).
3. Position the wire core in the terminal and squeeze the crimper tool to complete the core crimp.
Be sure to orient the terminal so that it is properly aligned with the terminal cavity in the
connector. The terminal should be positioned so that the lock tang is on the side of the cavity
which has the notch in the middle (for the remover tool).
4. Position the insulation crimp of the terminal on anvil "C" so that the entire insulation crimp area and
a portion of the terminal between the core and insulation crimp areas are supported by the anvil.
Complete the insulation crimp.

C. Terminal Crimping (cont'd)

6. Push on the wire until the terminal is completely into the cavity. (A click will be heard and the
terminal should stay in place when the wire is lightly pulled.)
D. Terminal Crimping Using Alternate Tool J 35123

1. Insert the remover tool in the front side of the connector to release the locktab, and pull the
terminal out the rear of the connector. Pull the terminal and wire out the rear of the connector to
complete Steps (3) through (7).
2. Push open the terminal holder on the crimper tool J 35123 and insert a terminal into the opening
marked 18-16 (Figure E-3, View C) so that the crimp ends point up. Release the terminal holder.
3. Slightly close the crimping tool (close until one click is heard) but do not start to crimp the terminal.
Place the terminal on the wire so it is in the same position as it will be when pulled back into the
connector. The terminal should be positioned so that the lock tang is on the side of the cavity which
has the notch in the middle (for the remover tool).
4. Insert the wire into the terminal until the wire contacts the holder. (By doing this, the core and
insulation should be properly positioned for the core and insulation crimp wings.)
5. Squeeze the crimper fully until it opens when released.
6. Open the terminal holder and remove the wire and terminal from the crimping tool.
7. Pull on the terminal to assure a tight crimp.
9. Push on the wire until the terminal is completely into the cavity. (A click will be heard and the

1-8. REPAIR OF A BROKEN WIRE WITH IN-LINE BUTT SPLICE

A. Connector Check Before Repair
NOTE: Before repairing or replacing wiring harness, sensor, solenoid, switch, or TCM as indicated for a
diagnosed problem, follow the procedure below:
1. Disconnect the connector or connectors associated with the problem and inspect for:
• Bent terminals
• Broken terminals
• Dirty terminals
• Pushed back terminals
• Missing terminals
• Condition of mating tabs
• Condition of mating terminals
Ensure that terminals are secure in the connector. Clean, straighten, or replace parts as required.
2. Reconnect all previous unmated connectors. Ensure connectors are fully inserted or twisted until
they lock in place. Connectors with locking tabs make an audible click when the lock is engaged.
3. If the trouble recurs after starting the vehicle, follow the repair procedures for the trouble code or
complaint.
4. If the trouble does not recur, or if the appropriate repairs and/or replacements have been made,
the problem should be corrected.
B. Special Tools
• Heat Gun, J 25070 or equivalent
• Crimping Tool for Pre-insulated Crimp J 38125-8 (Figure E-8)
NOTE: Use crimping anvils "F" and "G."
• Wire Strippers, J 35615

• Splices P/N 2304660414-16 AWG
• Splices P/N 23046605 18-22 AWG
NOTE: Each splice must be properly crimped and then heated to shrink the covering to protect and
insulate the splice. Insulation-piercing splice clips should not be used.

NOTES

APPENDIX F-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 (Figure F-1).
V00656.01
Figure F-1. 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 F-2 diagrams the voltage
and throttle movement relationship.
Adjust so total stroke is within

Figure F-2. Throttle Position Determination Diagram
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 cor-
responds to a high throttle percentage (Table F-1, Page F-3).

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 in-
creased 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 partic-
ular concern is when the throttle sensor extends into the error zone. This indicates a TPS misad-
justment 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 (Figure F-3), the TPS should not require
adjustment. Confirm that the throttle sensor is installed to manufacturer specifications 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 8.5-35.7 mm range the TPS is set properly. A total stroke of 15.2-22.9 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 F-2). 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 Test Harness J 41339 for measuring voltages.

1-1. 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 con-
nected 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.
Do not jump start a vehicle with arc welding equipment. Arc welding
WARNING! equipment's dangerously high currents and voltages cannot be reduced to safe
levels.

Figure K-2. Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Resistance vs. Sump Temperature Graph
NOTE: Look carefully at the graph. The scale for the resistance (on the left side) is not constant (linear).
It is logarithmic which means it can display a great range of values within a small space. Each
section of the graph is ten units, but the units vary from 1 to 100 000 Ohms.

APPENDIX L-ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE
1-1. ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMl)/RADIO FREQUENCY

INTERFERENCE (RFI)
All electrical and electronic systems generate electromagnetic fields 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 Division of General Motors is that manufacturers and installers of
Electromagnetic Interference (EMl)/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.
1-2. 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 ensuring 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.
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 con-
tactor 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.
Copyright© 2004 General Motors Corp. L-1

APPENDIX L-ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE

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
1-3. 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:
2. Keep the engine OFF.
3. If the TCM is ON, connect the Allison DOC™ For PC diagnostic tool.
NOTE: If false speed signals were present at the previous shutdown, the TCM might still be "ON" even
though the ignition is "OFF". The Allison DOC™ For PC diagnostic tool is powered by ignition
power so the ignition must be "ON" to use the 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 ensure there is no conductive material inside the connector.
9. Check to be sure the speed sensor circuit wires are a twisted pair.
10. Check to ensure a properly grounded drain wire.
11. Check for the presence of a strong external AC signal.
12. Repair or replace parts as required.

A. Manual Fluid Check Procedure

Clean all dirt from around the end of the fluid fill 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 fluid level using
the following procedure and report any abnormal fluid levels to your maintenance persons.
B. Cold Check Procedure

The purpose of the cold check is to determine if the transmission has enough fluid to be operated
safely until a hot check can be made.
The fluid level rises as fluid temperature increases. DO NOT fill above the "COLD
CAUTION: CHECK" band if the transmission fluid is below normal operating temperatures.
• 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.
Ensure 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:
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:
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 fill 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
(500-800 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 fluid level reading. Repeat the check
procedure to verify the reading.
• If the fluid level is within the "COLD CHECK" band, the transmission may be operated until the fluid
is hot enough to perform a "HOT RUN" check. If the fluid 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 first opportunity after the normal operating sump temperature of
71 °C-93°C (160°F-200°F) is reached.
C. Hot Check Procedure
The fluid must be hot to ensure an accurate check. The fluid level rises as
CAUTION:
temperature increases.
• Operate the transmission in D (Drive) range until normal operating temperature is reached:
sump temperature 71 °C-93°C (160°F-200°F)
converter-out temperature 82°C-104°C (180°F-220°F)
If a transmission temperature gauge is not present, check fluid 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:
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:
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:
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.
• With the engine running, remove the dipstick from the tube and wipe the dipstick clean.
• Insert the dipstick into the tube and remove. Check fluid 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 P-1 and P-2. The
width of the "HOT RUN" band represents approximately 1.0 liter (1.06 quart) of fluid at normal
operating sump temperature.
• If the fluid level is not within the "HOT RUN" band, add or drain as necessary to bring the fluid level
to within the "HOT RUN" band.
D. Consistency of Readings
Always check the fluid level at least twice using the procedure described above. Consistency
(repeatable readings) is important to maintaining proper fluid 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.
