    The document describes how to use TCM Reflash software to create a: 1) Road-ready (fully programmed) TCM that is loaded with application software, calibration settings, and vocational model calibration, making it fully functional; or 2) VEPS-ready TCM that only contains application software and vocational model calibration, leaving calibration settings to be applied later using a vehicle programming station. The process involves connecting to a server database, selecting the appropriate TCM settings, and using the Allison Read/Write program to load the software and calibrations into the TCM.

    Reflashing a 5th Gen TCM

    5th Gen TCMs may be flashed to a Road-ready (fully programmed) or VEPS-ready condition. This
    document covers the procedure to create a road-ready (fully programmed) and a VEPS ready 5th
    Generation Controls TCM. See also TCM Reflash V3.0 User’s Guide (GN4137EN)

    A. Road-ready TCMs – A Road-ready (fully programmed) TCM is loaded with application software,
    vocational model calibration, and has all calibration settings applied by an OEM vehicle
    electronic programming station, Allison Transmission load station, or TCM Reflash. A road-ready
    TCM is fully functional with shift schedules, input/output functions, and all other calibration
    features loaded. This is the normal mode that a distributor or dealer will use to reflash TCMs for
    servicing vehicles which have been placed in service. Create a road-ready TCM as follows:
    a. Log onto TCM Reflash and click on 5th Gen – Production database button.

    b. Click Yes to connect to the PCCSWeb Server.

    1
    c. Click on 5th Gen – Production database button

    d. Click Add button

    e. Verify “Vocational Model Base Cal Only” check box is NOT checked.

    2
    f. Select Radio Button next to TCM Serial Number. Enter the serial number of the TCM
    that is being replaced. If updating software/calibration of a road-ready TCM, enter the
    same serial number as the TCM being updated. NOTE: A road-ready TCM may also be
    created by entering a road-ready Allison assembly number (contains an “R” in the fourth
    digit, i.e. 63BR0032), the vehicle identification number, or transmission serial number.
    Click the Add button.

    g. Click Submit

    3
    h. Highlight the desired TCM serial number and click the LOAD button.

    i. Verify Current TCM Configuration fields are populated with data. Click OK to load
    software and vocational model calibration into TCM.

    4
    j. The Allison Read/Write program automatically launches and loads the software and
    vocational model calibration. NOTE: It can take several minutes for software and
    vocational model calibration to load.

    k. Wait for the Allison Vendor Component Program (VCP) to apply calibration settings. All
    lights will turn green to indicate successful programming.

    5
    l. Click OK to acknowledge successful completion of Reflash operation.

    m. Click NO to skip label printing.

    B. VEPS Ready TCMs – A VEPS Ready TCM is loaded with application software and vocational
    model calibration only. It is the typical state of a TCM shipped from Allison Transmission to one
    of its original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that is using a Vehicle Electronic Programming
    Station (VEPS); sometimes referred to as End-of-Line programming. VEPS Ready TCMs do not
    have any calibration settings applied. Create a VEPS ready TCM as follows:
    a. Log onto TCM Reflash

    6
    b. Click Yes to connect to the PCCSWeb Server.

    c. Click on 5th Gen – Production database button

    d. Click Add button

    7
    e. Check “Vocational Model Base Cal Only”

    f. Type the Allison part number shown on the TCM label in the TCM Assembly Number
    field (see picture of TCM label).

    8
    g. Click Add button

    h. Click Submit

    i. Verify translator device is selected. Click blue link to change.


    j. Highlight desired TCM Assembly Number (in this case 61CC0005), and click the Load
    button.

    9
    k. Verify Current TCM Configuration fields are populated with data. Click OK button to
    load software and vocational model calibration into TCM.

    l. The Allison Read/Write program automatically launches and loads the software and
    vocational model calibration. NOTE: It can take several minutes for software and
    vocational model calibration to load.

    10
    m. Click No to skip label printing.
