2 Definition of operating modes

NORMAL:
There's no failure detected in the transmission-system or the failure has no or slight effects on
transmission control. TCU will work without or in special cases with little limitations. (see following
table)

SUBSTITUTE CLUTCH CONTROL:

TCU can't change the gears or the direction under the control of the normal clutch modulation. TCU
uses the substitute strategy for clutch control. All modulations are only time controlled. (Comparable
with EST 25)

LIMP-HOME:
The detected failure in the system has strong limitations to transmission control. TCU can engage
only one gear in each direction. In some cases only one direction will be possible.
TCU will shift the transmission into neutral at the first occurrence of the failure. First, the operator
must shift the gear selector into neutral position.
If output speed is less than a threshold for neutral to gear and the operator shifts the gear selector
into forward or reverse, the TCU will select the limp-home gear .
If output speed is less than a threshold for reversal speed and TCU has changed into the limp-home
gear and the operator selects a shuttle shift, TCU will shift immediately into the limp-home gear of
the selected direction.
If output speed is greater than the threshold, TCU will shift the transmission into neutral. The
operator has to slow down the vehicle and must shift the gear selector into neutral position.

TRANSMISSION-SHUTDOWN:
TCU has detected a severe failure that disables control of the transmission.
TCU will shut off the solenoid valves for the clutches and also the common power supply (VPS1).
Transmission shifts to Neutral. The park brake will operate normally, also the other functions which
use ADM 1 to ADM 8.
The operator has to slow down the vehicle. The transmission will stay in neutral.

TCU-SHUTDOWN:
TCU has detected a severe failure that disables control of system.
TCU will shut off all solenoid valves and also both common power supplies (VPS1, VPS2). The
park brake will engage, also all functions are disabled which use ADM 1 to ADM 8.
The transmission will stay in neutral.

Faultcodes ERGO-Control EST37A

TCU Key Off:

The ignition key if switched off and the TCU stores internal values to EEPROM. After finishing this
the TCU is switched off.

TCU Idle:
The ignition key has been switched on and the TCU does some startup tests.

3 Note regarding ignition key cycles

Switching ignition key (KL15) off/on faster than t=1.5s or cranking the engine with a too weak
battery may lead to wrong diagnostic information regarding the transmission solenoids (ZF-fault
codes 72, 75, 78, 82, 85, 88), the output speed sensor (ZF-fault code 3A) and the ZF-Display (ZF-
fault code E4). The fault codes related to these components can be ignored if they show up due to a
too fast key off/on cycle or a cranking of the engine with a too weak battery. Unfortunately these
situations could not be completely covered by software. We strongly recommend using a (intelligent)
terminal control system which does not allow this situation. Many control units have this problem;
there is no software solution possible for the single control units without loosing diagnostic function.

F1 5890 2 GENERAL EEPROM FAULT no reaction • replace TCU often shown together with
TCU can't read non volantile memoy OP-Mode: normal fault code F2
• TCU is defective

F2 5900 13 CONFIGURATION LOST transmission stay neutral • Reprogramm the correct configuration
TCU has lost the correct configuration and OP-Mode: TCU shutdown for the vehicle (e.g. with cluster
can't control the transmission. controller,...)
• interference during saving data on non
volatile memory
• TCU is brand new or from another
vehicle

F3 5910 13 APPLICATION ERROR transmission stay neutral • replace TCU !! This fault occurs only if an
something of this application is wrong OP-Mode: TCU shutdown test engineer did something
wrong in the application of
the vehicle
F5 5930 7 CLUTCH FAILURE transmission stay neutral • check clutch TCU shows also the affected
AEB was not able to adjust clutch filling OP-Mode: TCU shutdown clutch on the Display

INCHPEDAL CALIBRATION DATA LOST offsets used
TCU was not able to read correct clutch OP-Mode: normal
adjustment parameters no Inchmode available
• interference during saving data on non
volatile memory
• TCU is brand new

F7 5940 11 SUBSTITUTE CLUTCH CONTROL OP-Mode : substitute clutch • check engine retarder torque sent via

allowed range • check engine torque send via CAN
• engine retarder torque wrong • check speed sensors
