WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE (EXHAUST GASES) CAN KILL!


• Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, deadly poison which, when breathed, deprives the body of oxygen
and causes suffocation. Exposure to air containing carbon monoxide produces symptoms of headache, dizzi-
ness, loss of muscular control, apparent drowsiness, and coma. Permanent brain damage or death can result
from severe exposure.
• Carbon monoxide occurs in exhaust fumes of internal combustion engines. Carbon monoxide can become dan-
gerously concentrated under conditions of inadequate ventilation. The following precautions must be observed
to ensure safety of personnel when engine of tractor is operated.
1. DO NOT operate tractor engine in enclosed areas without adequate ventilation.
2. DO NOT idle tractor engine without adequate ventilation.
3. DO NOT drive tractor with inspection plates or cover plates removed.
4. BE ALERT for exhaust poisoning symptoms. They are:
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Sleepiness
• Loss of muscular control
5. If you see another person with exhaust poisoning symptoms:
• Remove person from area.
• Expose to fresh air.
• Keep person warm.
• Do not permit physical exercise.
• Administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), if necessary.
• Notify a medic.
6. BE AWARE. The field protective mask for nuclear-biological-chemical (NBC) protection will not protect you from car-
bon monoxide poisoning.

The Best Defense Against Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Is Good Ventilation!

WARNING

CAPACITOR(S)

• To avoid injury, eye protection, protective clothing, and gloves must be worn when working around capacitors.
Capacitors contain an electrolyte that is a potassium hydroxide solution. Potassium hydroxide is highly corro-
sive and can cause serious burns. If capacitor case becomes cracked, leaking electrolyte can result in fumes that
are hazardous to inhale. If electrolyte makes contact with skin, eyes or clothing, take immediate action to stop
the corrosive burning effects. Failure to follow these procedures may result in death or serious injury to person-
nel.

a. Eyes. Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower eyelids. Seek
medical attention immediately.

b. Skin. Wash with soap and water for at least 15 minutes, while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Dispose of contaminated clothing in a manner that limits further exposure. Seek medical attention immedi-
ately.

c. Ingestion. Do NOT induce vomiting. Drink 2-4 cups of milk or water. Seek medical attention immediately.

d. Inhalation. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give CPR (cardio-pulmonary
resuscitation). If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Seek medical attention immediately.

• Remove all jewelry such as rings, ID tags, watches, and bracelets, when working around capacitors. If jewelry
or a tool contacts a capacitor terminal, a direct short may result, causing instant heating and electric shock at
the point of short circuit. Damage to equipment and injury to personnel could result.

WARNING

PRESSURIZED COOLING SYSTEM


• DO NOT service cooling system unless engine has cooled to at least 120°F (50°C) as indicated on coolant tem-
perature gauge. This is a pressurized cooling system and escaping steam or hot coolant will cause serious
burns.
• Wear effective eye, glove, and skin protection when handling coolants. Failure to do so may cause injury.

WARNING

R-134A REFRIGERANT
• Liquid refrigerant, when exposed to air, quickly evaporates and will freeze skin or eye tissue. Use care to pre-
vent refrigerant from touching your skin or eyes. Serious injury or blindness may result if you come in contact
with refrigerant.
• Refrigerant R-134a air conditioning systems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with compressed air.

TM 9-2320-312-24-3

WARNING

SLAVE STARTING
• When slave starting tractor, use NATO slave cable that DOES NOT have loose or missing insulation.
• DO NOT proceed if suitable cable is not available.
• DO NOT use civilian-type jumper cables.

WARNING

YARD TRACTOR OPERATION


• The M878A2 Yard Tractor, without a trailer, is capable of making turns tighter than 90 degrees. When towing a
trailer, attempting turns tighter than 90 degrees will cause interference between tractor and semitrailer. The
point of interference is directly related to the position of the fifth wheel. The higher the fifth wheel, the more
the turning radius is reduced. Failure to follow this warning could result in injury to personnel or damage to
equipment.
• The M878A2 Yard Tractor has a solid mount rear axle suspension and handles differently than a tractor with a
sprung suspension. When operating without a trailer, this difference is even more noticeable. Operators must
become familiar with the handling of the yard tractor, during training and initial operations, to avoid the poten-
tial hazard of vehicle instability and loss of control. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death to per-
sonnel or damage to equipment.

WARNING

WHEEL AND TIRE ASSEMBLIES


• Whenever wheel nuts require tightening or a wheel has been removed and replaced, wheel nuts must be tight-
ened to the required torque. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury to personnel or damage
to equipment.
• To avoid serious injury or death, NEVER attempt to inflate a tire that has been run flat or seriously under
inflated. Break down tire and wheel assembly for inspection.

FEATURES OF VOLUME I (WORK PACKAGE-FORMATTED MANUAL)

1. Because the major assembly groupings used in this manual do not correspond to military function group codes (FGC) and
are unfamiliar to the soldier, maintenance tasks in Volume I include in their initial setups the following information:

a. MAC Reference (e.g., MAC Group 160)

b. RPSTL Reference (e.g., RPSTL Group 160, Figure 003)

This information will assist the user to locate appropriate MAC guidance and repair parts for the component being main-
tained.

2. WARNINGs, CAUTIONs, NOTEs, subject headings, and other important information are highlighted in BOLD print as a
visual aid.

WARNING
A WARNING indicates a hazard that may result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION
A CAUTION is a reminder of safety practices or directs attention to usage practices that may cause damage
to equipment.

NOTE
A NOTE is a statement containing information that will make the procedures easier to perform.

3. Statements and words of particular interest may be printed in CAPITAL LETTERS to create emphasis.

4. Within a procedural step, reference may be made to another work package in this volume of the manual or to another vol-
ume of this manual or another manual. These references indicate where you should look for more complete information.

a. If you are told: “Fill hydraulic reservoir (WP 0129 00)”, go to work package 0129 00 in Volume 1 of this manual
for instructions on filling the hydraulic reservoir.

b. If you are told: “Raise fifth wheel (TM 9-2320-312-10)”, go to TM 9-2320-312-10 for complete instructions on
raising the fifth wheel. Use the Table of Contents or alphabetical Index in TM 9-2320-312-10 to find the procedure.

c. If you are told “Repair transmission torque converter (Group 070 Commercial Service Manuals)”, go to Group 070
in the Commercial Service Manuals (Volume 3) to find the procedure.

5. Illustrations are placed after, and as close to, the procedural steps to which they apply. Callouts placed on the art may be
text or numbers, or both.

6. Numbers located at the lower right corner of the art (e.g. 376-001, 376-002, etc.) are art control numbers and are used for
tracking purposes. Disregard these numbers.

7. Dasher leader lines used in illustrations indicate that called-out items are not visible in the view depicted (i.e. they are
located within or behind the structure). In Lubrication Charts (WP 0008 00, Unit PMCS Introduction) and in Unit PMCS
(WP 0009 00), dashed leader lines indicate a lubrication that is required on both sides of the equipment.

8. Technical instructions include metric units as well as standard units. For your reference, a Metric Conversion Chart is
located on the inside back cover of the manual.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to be completely familiar with the Warnings and Cau-


tions described in this Service Manual. These Warnings and Cautions advise against the
use of specific service methods that can result in personal injury, damage to the equip-
ment, or cause the equipment to become unsafe. It is, however, important to understand
that these Warnings and Cautions are not exhaustive. Allison Transmission could not
possibly know, evaluate, and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways in which
service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Conse-
quently, Allison Transmission has not undertaken any such broad evaluation. Accord-
ingly, ANYONE WHO USES A SERVICE PROCEDURE OR TOOL WHICH IS NOT
RECOMMENDED BY ALLISON TRANSMISSION MUST first be thoroughly satisfied
that neither personal safety nor equipment safety will be jeopardized by the service
methods selected.
Proper service and repair are important to the safe, reliable operation of the equipment.
The service procedures recommended by Allison Transmission and described in this Ser-
vice Manual are effective methods for performing service operations. Some of these ser-
vice operations require the use of tools specifically designed for the purpose. The special
tools should be used when and as recommended.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES


Three types of headings are used in this manual to attract your attention:

WARNING!

etc., which, if not correctly followed, could result
in personal injury or loss of life.

CAUTION:
is used when an operating procedure, practice,
etc., which, if not strictly observed, could result
in damage to or destruction of equipment.

NOTE:

LIST OF WARNINGS
This manual contains the following warnings —

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THEM.

• If you leave the vehicle and the engine is running, the vehicle can move suddenly
and you or others could be injured. If you must leave the engine running, do not
leave the vehicle until you: Put the transmission in N (Neutral)…and — Apply the
parking brake and emergency brakes and make sure they are properly
engaged…and — Chock the wheels and take any other steps necessary to keep the
vehicle from moving.
• Avoid contact with the hot fluid or the sump when draining transmission fluid.
Direct contact with the hot fluid or the hot sump may result in bodily injury.
• While conducting a stall check, the vehicle must be positively prevented from
moving. Apply the parking brake and service brake, and chock the wheels
securely. Warn personnel to keep clear of the vehicle and its travel path. Failure to
do so can cause serious injury.
• Use appropriate safety equipment such as safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves.

• Do not burn discarded Teflon® seals; toxic gases are produced by burning
Teflon®.
• Never dry bearings by spinning them with compressed air. A spinning bearing can
disintegrate, allowing balls or rollers to become lethal flying projectiles. Also,
spinning a bearing without lubrication can damage the bearing.
• MD Product Line transmission dry weights are as follows: with PTO provision — 260 kg
(575 lbs).

• The control module assembly weighs approximately 25 kg (56 lb). Handle


carefully to avoid personnel injury or control module damage.

• Piston springs are highly compressed. Be extremely careful during removal and
installation. Personal injury can occur if the spring force is not controlled.
• Transmissions installed in overhaul stands must be positioned vertically before
installing control module. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

p. Removal of Transmission From Repair Stand


(Figure 6-14). Using a hoist, remove the transmis-
sion and hold fixture from the repair stand and WARNING
prepare for vehicle installation.
Transmission dry weight is as follows:
• MDP/B 300P/B 400P 260 kg (575 lb)
Use proper tools and lifting equipment when in-
CAUTION stalling or removing a transmission from the re-
pair stand.
Whenever a transmission is overhauled, ex-
changed, or has undergone repairs, the Elec-
tronic Control Unit (ECU) must be “RESET TO
UNADAPTED SHIFTS”. This will cause the
ECU to erase previous adaptive information and
begin to adapt in Fast Adaptive Mode from the
base calibration. Use either the ATDTTM or the
Pro-link® 9000 DDR and select “RESET TO
UNADAPTED SHIFTS” from the “ACTION
REQUESTS” menu. Be sure that YES is brack-
eted and press ENTER to finish the reset.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1–2. ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)

The ECU (Figure 1–3) contains the microcomputer which is the brain of the control system. The ECU receives and
processes information defining: shift selector position, throttle position, sump/retarder temperature, engine speed,
turbine speed, and transmission output speed. The ECU uses the information to control transmission solenoids and
valves, supply system status, and provide diagnostic information.

Each ECU has a date code stamped on the label which is attached to the outer case of the ECU. This is the date
when the ECU passed final test. This date is commonly used to denote the change configuration level of the ECU.
It is normal for the ECU date displayed electronically to be a few days prior to the date shown on the label.

1–3. SHIFT SELECTOR

Pushbutton and lever shift selectors for the WTEC III Series are remote mounted from the ECU and connected to
the ECU by a wiring harness. Both of these shift selectors have a single digit LED display and a mode indicator
(LED). During normal transmission operation, illumination of the LED indicator shows that a secondary or special
operating condition has been selected by pressing the MODE button. During diagnostic display mode, illumination
of the LED indicator shows that the displayed diagnostic code is active. Display brightness is regulated by the same
vehicle potentiometer that controls dash light display brightness. More information on both types of shift selectors
is continued below.

A. Pushbutton Shift Selector (Figure 1–4)

There is a full-function pushbutton shift selector and a strip pushbutton shift selector. Strip
pushbutton shift selectors are used by European OEMs. A full-function shift selector has a MODE
button and diagnostic display capability through the single digit LED display. The strip pushbutton
shift selector does not have a MODE button, diagnostic capability, or adjustable illumination. The
full-function pushbutton shift selector has six (6) pushbuttons which are R (Reverse), N (Neutral),
D (Drive), ⇓ (Down), ⇑ (Up), and MODE. Manual forward range downshifts and upshifts are made
by pressing the ⇓ (Down) or ⇑ (Up) arrow buttons after selecting D (Drive). The N (Neutral) button
has a raised lip to aid in finding it by touch. The MODE button is pressed to select a secondary or
special operating condition, such as ECONOMY shift schedule. Diagnostic information is obtained
by pressing the ⇑ (Up) and ⇓ (Down) arrow buttons at the same time. The strip pushbutton shift
selector has either three or six range selection positions as shown in Figure 1–4. When a strip
pushbutton shift selector is used, diagnostic information must be obtained by using the
Pro-Link® 9000 or a customer-furnished remote display.

B. Lever Shift Selector (Figure 1–5)


The lever shift selector can have as many as six forward range positions (seven for the MD 3070PT
and HD 4070), as well as R (Reverse) and N (Neutral). There is a hold override button which must be
pressed and held in order to move between certain selector positions. The hold override button must
be pressed when shifting between R, N, and D. The hold override button is released when the desired
selector position is reached. The selector lever can be moved freely between D and the numbered
forward ranges without pressing the hold override button. The lever selector can be chosen with the
lever on the left side or on the right side and with the R (Reverse) position toward the front or toward
the rear of the selector. Diagnostic and oil level (if sensor is present) information is obtained from the
single digit LED display by pressing the “display mode” button.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1–4. THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (Figure 1–6)


The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) can be mounted to the engine, chassis, or transmission. The TPS 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 ECU 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 (Figure 1–7)


Three speed sensors — engine speed, turbine speed, and output speed — provide information to the ECU. The
engine speed signal is generated by ribs on the shell of the torque converter pump. The turbine speed signal is
generated by the rotating-clutch housing spline contours. The output speed signal is generated by a toothed
member attached to the output shaft (except for the MD 3070, where the toothed member is the transfer case idler
gear). The speed ratios between the various speed sensors allow the ECU to determine if the transmission is in the
selected range. Speed sensor information is also used to control the timing of clutch apply pressures, resulting in
the smoothest shifts possible. Hydraulic problems are detected by comparing the speed sensor information for the
current range to that range’s speed sensor information stored in the ECU memory.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1–6. CONTROL MODULE (Figure 1–8)


The WT Series transmission control module contains a channel plate on which is mounted: the main valve body
assembly, the stationary-clutch valve body assembly, and the rotating-clutch valve body assembly. For valve
locations, refer to SIL 27-WT-93, Rev. A. Pulse width modulated solenoids are used in the valve bodies. The
rotating-clutch valve body assembly contains A (C1), B (C2), and F (lockup) solenoids, solenoid regulator valves
controlled by the solenoids, and the C3 pressure switch. The stationary-clutch valve body assembly contains
C (C3), D (C4), and E (C5) solenoids and solenoid regulator valves controlled by the solenoids and the
C3 accumulator relay valve. The main valve body assembly contains G solenoid and the C1 and C2 latch valves
controlled by the solenoid, the main and lube regulator valves, the control main and converter regulator valves, and
the converter flow valve and exhaust backfill valves. The low valve body assembly (MD 3070PT and HD 4070)
contains N and J solenoids.

V03354

Figure 1–8. WTEC III Control Module

A temperature sensor (thermistor) is located in the internal wiring harness. Changes in sump fluid temperature are
indicated by changes in sensor resistance which changes the signal sent to the ECU (see chart in Section 6,
Code 24).

The oil level sensor is a float type device, mounted on the control module channel plate, which senses transmission
fluid level by electronically measuring the buoyancy forces on the float. The sensor operates on 5 VDC supplied by
the ECU. The oil level sensor is required on all models with a shallow sump but is optional on other models. The
oil level sensor is not available on the MD 3070.

The C3 pressure switch is mounted on the rotating-clutch valve body assembly and indicates when pressure exists
in the C3 clutch-apply passage. An accumulator/relay valve is in-line ahead of the C3 pressure switch and prevents
high frequency hydraulic pulses generated by the C3 solenoid from cycling the C3 pressure switch.

Also mounted in the control module is the turbine speed sensor for the MD/B 300/B 400 models. The turbine speed
sensor is directed at the rotating-clutch housing. (The turbine speed sensor on the HD/B 500 models is located on
the outside of the main housing.)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1–9. AUTODETECT FEATURE

Autodetect is active on the first 24 engine starts or a larger calibration number of engine starts, depending upon the
component or sensor being detected (details follow in A through D below). Autodetect takes place within the first
30 seconds of each engine start monitored. Autodetect searches for the presence of the following transmission
components or data inputs:

Retarder Present, Not Present


Oil Level Sensor (OLS) Present, Not Present
Throttle Analog, J1939, J1587
Engine Coolant Temperature Analog, J1939, J1587

Even after autodetect has been completed, it can be reset to monitor an additional group of engine starts. Reset may
be necessary if a device known to be present is not detected or if an autodetectable component or sensor was added
after the initial vehicle build. Reset is accomplished by using the Pro-Link®. Using a WTEC II Pro-Link®, select
“RESET TO UNADAPTED SHIFTS.” Using a WTEC III Pro-Link®, select “RESET AUTODETECT.” The
WTEC III Pro-Link® can also be used to override autodetect and manually enter the component or sensor to be
recognized by the ECU by changing appropriate “customer modifiable constants”. The four items above are the only
customer modifiable constants (CMC’s) that are autodetected. Other CMC’s can be changed at any time and are not
related to autodetect. Consult the WTEC III Pro-Link® manual for detailed instructions related to WTEC III
“customer modifiable constants.” Additional details for each of the four autodetectable features are given below.

A. Retarder

Autodetect searches for the presence of the H (retarder) solenoid during the first 24 engine ignition
cycles. The H solenoid must be present on the 24th engine start or the retarder is not detected and will
not function on subsequent engine starts.

If a retarder is present but is not detected by autodetect, the retarder will not
function. Be sure to check for proper retarder function immediately after the 24th
engine start. If the retarder is not functioning, check H solenoid for open, short-
WARNING! to-ground or short-to-battery condition. Use Pro-Link® to reset autodetect or to
manually select the presence of the retarder after the H solenoid circuit is
repaired.

B. Oil Level Sensor (OLS)

NOTE: If an OLS is known to be present, but has not been detected, a possible cause is that the transmission
fluid level is too low. Check the fluid level before beginning OLS troubleshooting.

No oil level sensor diagnostics take place until the OLS is detected. Frequently check for the presence
of oil level diagnostics if the transmission is known to contain an OLS. If an OLS is not detected
during the first 24 engine starts, autodetect continues for a calibration number of engine starts.
Autodetect stops when an OLS is detected or when the calibration number of starts is reached. When
the calibrated number of engine starts is reached, the ECU concludes that no OLS is present. If an
OLS is known to be present, but has not been detected, troubleshooting of the OLS circuit is required.
After the OLS circuit is repaired, reset autodetect or manually select the OLS function using the
Pro-Link®.

1–10 Copyright © 1999 General Motors Corp.


TM 9-2320-312-24-3

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

C. Throttle Source
Whenever autodetect is functioning and no throttle source is found, a code 26 00 is logged. If a
datalink throttle source (J1939 or J1587) is detected, autodetect stops looking for that function.
However, if no analog throttle source was detected prior to engine start 25, autodetect continues for
engine starts 25 through a calibration number. Autodetect for analog throttle stops as soon as a device
is detected or when the calibration number of starts is reached. If an analog throttle source is known
to be present, but is not detected, troubleshooting of the analog throttle circuit is required. After the
analog throttle circuit is repaired, reset autodetect or manually select the analog throttle function
using the Pro-Link®. An engine throttle source must be present. A PWM throttle source requires a
unique calibration or must be manually selected using the Pro-Link®.

D. Engine Coolant Temperature


Autodetect looks for an engine coolant temperature source during the first 24 engine starts. However,
code 26 11 is not logged unless the calibration calls for engine coolant temperature data to be used for
retarder capacity reduction or preselect downshifts due to retarder overheating. Autodetect
remembers whatever engine coolant temperature source was present on engine start 24. If no analog
engine coolant temperature source is found on engine start 24, autodetect concludes that no sensor is
present. Therefore, if an engine coolant temperature is known to be present at engine start 24, but is
not detected, troubleshooting of the engine coolant temperature circuit is required. After the engine
coolant temperature circuit is repaired, reset autodetect or manually select the engine coolant
temperature function using the Pro-Link®.

1–10. TRANSID FEATURE

A. General Description
The TransID feature has been provided so that Allison Transmission can make component changes
which require calibration changes but still retain both the original transmission A/N (prior to feature
based ordering — FBO) and the original calibrated ECU A/N. The purpose of TransID is to reduce
the need for OEMs to use cross-reference lists of transmission and calibrated ECU A/Ns when such
changes to the transmission are made. Since FBO began in April, 1998, the OEM now needs to be
sure the ECU being used is compatible with the TransID level stamped on the nameplate of the
transmission.

The basis for the TransID system is the creation of a TransID wire in the WTEC III system to provide
the signal to the ECU of the TransID level of the transmission. This wire will at first be connected
directly to the Analog Return (wire 135) to signal TransID level 1 (TID 1). TransID levels 2 through 8
will then be indicated by connecting the TransID wire in sequence to the return of solenoids A, B, C,
D, E, G, and F. Corresponding to the hardware changes is the ability in the V8A WTEC III ECU to
contain up to eight calibrations. The connection point of the TransID wire will provide the signal to
tell the ECU which calibration is required by the transmission.

Whenever a TransID level change is to be made, the new TransID level calibrations will be placed in
the PROM Calibration Configurator System (PCCS) before the change(s) is(are) made in production to
the transmissions. All ECUs programmed and sold after that date will then be loaded with the new
TransID level calibration. These ECUs will contain calibrations for the new level transmission and all
previous TransID levels and will automatically load the correct calibration for the transmission based
on the TransID signal sensed by AutoDetect during the first twenty-five engine starts. This eliminates
worry on the part of the OEM of coordinating the implementation of the new ECU and the new
transmission and allows their focus to be on using the stock of the earlier level ECU.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

B. Transmission Changes Versus TransID Number


1. TransID 1

The internal wiring harness wiring change to make a TID 1 transmission was put into production
before the introduction of the WTEC III system. The TID 1 internal harness was made by
connecting the C3 Pressure Switch ground (digital/signal ground; WTEC II wire 161) to the Sump
Temperature Sensor and Oil Level Sensor ground (analog ground; wire 135) in the internal
harness. In WTEC II, the signal ground wire (wire 161) is routed through the transmission
connector, terminal W, and then to the ECU, terminal B27. In WTEC III, this same wire in the
internal harness becomes the TransID wire (wire 195), and it goes to the ECU, terminal T13 (blue
connector). The purpose of TransID 1 was to provide a common transmission for use with both
WTEC II and WTEC III systems (V7A and V8).

The only difference between a pre-TransID transmission and a TransID 1 transmission is the
internal wiring harness which connects the digital and analog grounds on the TID 1 harness.
Adapter harness P/N 200100 can be ordered from St. Clair Technologies to provide the same
connection outside the transmission and allow a pre-TransID transmission to be “converted” to a
TransID 1 transmission.

All models of the World Transmission were built with the TransID 1 internal (feedthrough) harness
beginning in September, 1996. Two changes were rolled into this update: the wiring change for
TID 1 and a change to use a molded channel rather than the braided covering which was
previously used. Both changes were rolled into the same internal harness P/N even though there
was a delay in implementing the channel which resulted in the two S/N breaks. Table 1–1 lists the
harness P/Ns for the different transmission models along with the S/Ns for both changes for each
harness.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

2. TransID 2
The purpose of the TransID 2 change is to indicate the use of new sump and retarder temperature
sensors (thermistors) and a new MD/B 300/B 400 retarder design. The new retarder requires a
different calibration than the old retarder. Retarder performance complaints will occur if the new
retarder is controlled by the old retarder calibration or the old retarder is controlled by the new
retarder calibration. TransID 2 internal harnesses contain both the new sump temperature sensor
and a new connection point for the TransID wire. The TransID wire (195) is connected to
Solenoid A ground (wire 120) to signal TID 2 to the ECU. The new temperature sensors are
discussed below. A TransID 2 transmission will only work with a V8A ECU (WTEC III) and V8A
ECUs are calibrated to accommodate both TransID 1 and TransID 2 transmissions. The HD 4070
was equipped with TransID 2 at the start of production.

The internal harness change to all models for TID 2 began in late December, 1997 production.
The S/N breakpoints are shown in Table 1–2.

The new retarder thermistor used on TransID 2 retarder model transmissions has a molded
connector and is the same on all TransID 2 retarders. The TransID 1 and pre-TransID retarder
thermistor had a two terminal connector attached to it when it was used on B 500R/HD 4000R
transmissions. It was part of a retarder harness assembly when used on B300R/B 400R/MD 3000R
transmissions. See Appendix Q which describes the new and old temperature sensors. A graph and
a table of resistance values for different temperatures are also included in Appendix Q.

Table 1–4 shows the compatibility of the different ECU software levels with the different TransID
level transmissions.

The manufacture and sale of both WTEC II and WTEC III ECUs during most of 1997 required a
means of using a common transmission with either a WTEC II or a WTEC III ECU. A TID 1
transmission is the common transmission configuration for both control systems and production
began in September, 1996 (see Table 1–3). A TransID level 1 transmission is compatible with V6E,
V7, V7A, V8, and V8A ECUs.

TransID level 2 transmissions were produced beginning in late December, 1997 (see Table 1–4).
A TransID 2 transmission is compatible with only V8A ECUs.

Pre-TransID transmissions are only compatible with V6E, V7, and V7A ECUs. Pre-TransID
transmissions were produced before the first S/N break in Table 1–3.

SECTION 2 — DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

2–1. CHECK TRANS LIGHT


When the ECU detects a serious fault, the CHECK TRANS light (usually located on the vehicle instrument panel)
illuminates and action is automatically taken to protect operator, vehicle, and the transmission. A diagnostic code will
nearly always be registered when the CHECK TRANS light is on; however, not all diagnostic codes will turn on the
CHECK TRANS light. Codes related to the CHECK TRANS light are detailed in the code chart (refer to Section 6).
Illumination of the CHECK TRANS light indicates that a condition was detected that requires service attention.
Operation may or may not be restricted but even when restricted will allow the vehicle to reach a service assistance
location. Depending upon the cause for the CHECK TRANS light illumination, the ECU may or may not respond
to shift selector requests. The transmission may be locked in a range. That range will be shown on the shift selector
display. Both upshifts and downshifts may be restricted when the CHECK TRANS light is illuminated. Seek
service assistance as soon as possible.
Each time the engine is started, the CHECK TRANS light illuminates briefly and then goes off. This momentary
lighting shows the light circuit is working properly. If the light does not come on during engine start, request
service immediately.

2–2. DIAGNOSTIC DATA READER (Figure 2–1)


The current Diagnostic Data Reader (DDR) is the Pro-Link® 9000 diagnostic tool which is available through
Kent-Moore Heavy-Duty Division. A portable microcomputer-based receiver/transmitter/display unit, the
Pro-Link® transmits and receives data to and from the ECU, processes the data, and displays appropriate
information. Use the Pro-Link® during installation checkout and troubleshooting. There is a new Pro-Link®
cartridge needed for use with WTEC III controls. The new Multi-Protocol Cartridge (MPC) contains a
programmed PCMCIA card which allows for reprogramming of GPI/GPO packages. Reprogramming includes
selection of a GPI/GPO package, enabling/disabling of wires and modification of certain data parameters.
Operating instructions are supplied with each Pro-Link® and further information is also included in Appendix N of
this manual. Connect the Pro-Link® 9000 to the diagnostic connector provided in the selector wiring harness.

Tool part numbers for the Pro-Link® are as follows:


• Diagnostic Kit J 38538D + J 38500–313 (PROM Update) = J 38538E
• Diagnostic Cartridge J 38500-302 + J 38500–313 = J 38500–303
• MPC J 38500–1500C
• PCMCIA (Diagnostic And Reprogramming) J 38500–1700B
• PCMCIA (Diagnostic Only) J 38500–1800A

NOTE: The new MPC is usable with WTEC II controls but the old WTEC II reprogramming cartridge will
not display the WTEC III new information. The new MPC must be used to reprogram WTEC III
systems.

SECTION 3 — BASIC KNOWLEDGE

3–1. BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED

To service WTEC III 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, 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 — Checking Clutch Pressures.

Input power, ground, neutral start circuitry, etc., can cause problems with electronic controls or vehicle functioning
and may not generate a diagnostic code. A working knowledge of WT Series Electronic Controls vehicle
installation is necessary in troubleshooting installation-related problems.

Refer to Section 8 for information concerning performance complaints (non-code) troubleshooting. A complete
wiring schematic is shown in Appendix J. Refer to the WTEC III Controls and General Information Sales Tech
Data Book for information concerning electronic controls installation and the Installation Checklist. Reliable
transmission operation and performance depend upon a correctly installed transmission. Review the Installation
Checklist in the MD, HD, B 300/B 400, and B 500 Sales Tech Data Books to ensure proper installation.

NOTE: Allison Transmission is providing for service of wiring harnesses and wiring harness components as

BASIC KNOWLEDGE

3–2. USING THE TROUBLESHOOTING MANUAL

Use this manual as an aid to troubleshooting the WTEC III 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. 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

WTEC III Electronic Control functions are controlled by the ECU. The ECU reads shift selector range selection,
output speed, and throttle position to determine when to command a shift. When a shift occurs, the ECU monitors
turbine speed, output speed, and throttle position to control the oncoming and off-going clutches during the shift.

When the ECU detects an electrical fault, it logs a diagnostic code indicating the faulty circuit and may alter the
transmission operation to prevent or reduce damage.

When the ECU detects a non-electrical problem while trying to make a shift, the ECU may try that shift a second or
third time before setting a diagnostic code. Once that shift has been retried, and a fault is still detected, the ECU
sets a diagnostic code and holds the transmission in a fail-to-range mode of operation.

3–4. IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN THE TROUBLESHOOTING PROCESS

Before beginning the troubleshooting process, read and understand the following:

• WTEC III wire identification presents the wire number followed by the ECU terminal source
(i.e., 157-S30). If there is a letter suffix following the wire number, there is a splice between the ECU
source and wire destination (i.e., 136A-S16).

• 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 ECU connectors and other components adds about
one ohm of resistance to the component resistance shown.

TM 9-2320-312-24-3

BASIC KNOWLEDGE
• Inspect all connector terminals for damage. Terminals may have bent or lost the necessary tension to
maintain firm contact.

• Clean dirty terminals or connectors with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab, or a good quality, non-
residue, non-lubricating, cleaning solvent such as LPS Electro Contact Cleaner® or LPS NoFlash
Electro Contact Cleaner®.

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.

• Diagnostic codes displayed after system power is turned on with a harness connector disconnected, can
be ignored and cleared from memory. Refer to Section 6, Diagnostic Codes, for the code clearing
procedure.

3–5. BEGINNING THE TROUBLESHOOTING PROCESS

NOTE: Whenever a transmission is overhauled, exchanged, or has undergone internal repairs, the Electronic
Control Unit (ECU) must be “RESET TO UNADAPTED SHIFTS.” See Service Information Letter
16-WT-96, Revision A for further details.

1. Begin troubleshooting by checking the transmission fluid level and ECU input voltage. Remember
that some problems may be temperature related. Do troubleshooting at the temperature level where
the problem occurs. Check diagnostic codes by:

• Using the shift selector display. (See Paragraph 6–2 for code reading.)
• Using the Pro-Link® 9000 diagnostic tool.

2. When a problem exists but a diagnostic code is not indicated, refer to the Performance Complaint
Section (Section 8) for a listing of various electrical and hydraulic problems, their causes, and remedies.

3. If a diagnostic code is found in the ECU memory, record all available code information and clear the
active indicator (refer to Section 6).

4. Test drive the vehicle to confirm a diagnostic code or performance complaint.

• If the code reappears, refer to the Diagnostic Code section (Section 6) and the appropriate code
chart. The Diagnostic Code section lists diagnostic codes and their description. Locate the
appropriate troubleshooting chart and follow the instructions.

TM 9-2320-312-24-3

BASIC KNOWLEDGE
• If the code does not reappear, it may be an intermittent problem. Use the Pro-Link® and the code
display procedure described in Section 6. The code display procedure will indicate the number of
times the diagnostic code has occurred. Refer to the troubleshooting chart for possible cause(s) of
the problem.
• Appendix A deals with the identification of potential circuit problems. Refer to Appendix A if a
circuit problem is suspected.

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 WTEC III wire numbering system described in Paragraph 3–4.

5. If all connectors are clean and connected correctly, determine which wires in the chassis harness are
indicated by the diagnostic code. For example, Code 41 12, indicates an open or short-to-ground in
the solenoid A circuit — wires 102-T1 and 120-T4.
a. Check continuity of wires 102-T1 and 120-T4 by performing the following (refer to Figure 4–1):
(1) Disconnect the blue “T” connector from the ECU 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 102-T1 and 120-T4 to each other, being careful not to distort the termi-
nals. Jumping the wires together creates a circuit between wires 102-T1 and 120-T4.

WIRE CHECK PROCEDURES

(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.
Locate and repair the damaged portion of the wire.

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 ECU 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 chas-
sis 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.

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.

3. If the connectors are clean and connected correctly, determine which wires in the harness to test.
Use the diagnostic code system schematic to locate the wire terminals. For this example, Code 41 12
indicates an open or short-to-ground in solenoid “A” circuit — wires 102-T1 and 120-T4 (refer to
Figure 4–3 and 4–4).

* Refer to Appendix J V03376.01

Figure 4–3. Checking Continuity

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 — OIL LEVEL SENSOR

The Oil Level Sensor (Figure 5–1) provides a means of electronically checking the transmission fluid level from
the shift selector display, the Pro-Link® 9000 (DDR) diagnostic tool, or a customer-furnished remote display.

V03353

Figure 5–1. Oil Level Sensor

5–1. ELECTRONIC FLUID LEVEL CHECK (SHIFT SELECTOR)

NOTE: The pushbutton and lever shift selectors can display one character at one time. The strip pushbutton
shift selector has no diagnostic or display capability. The Pro-Link® 9000 or a customer-furnished
remote display must be used to obtain fluid level information when using the strip pushbutton shift
selector.

A. Fluid Level Check Procedure


1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and shift to N (Neutral). Apply the parking brake.

2. On the Pushbutton shift selector, simultaneously press the ⇑ (Up) and ⇓ (Down) arrow buttons
once.

3. On the Lever shift selector, press the “display mode” button once.

4. For a strip pushbutton shift selector, refer to the Pro-Link® 9000 manual or to Appendix N in this
manual.

NOTE: The ECU may delay the fluid level check until the following conditions are met:
• The fluid temperature is between 60°C (140°F) and 104°C (220°F).
• The transmission is in N (Neutral).
• The vehicle has been stationary for approximately two minutes to allow the fluid to settle.
• The engine is at idle (below 1000 rpm — not “fast” idle).
See “Invalid for Display” information in Steps (8) and (9).

TM 9-2320-312-24-3

OIL LEVEL SENSOR

5. Correct fluid level is reported when o, L is displayed (o, L indicates the Oil Level Check Mode),
followed by o, K. The o, K display indicates the fluid level is within the proper fluid level zone.
Remember that the display occurs one character at a time. The sensor display and the transmis-
sion dipstick may not agree exactly because the oil level sensor compensates for fluid temperature.
Example: o, L; o, K — Indicates correct fluid level.

6. Low fluid level is reported when o, L is displayed, followed by L, o and a number. L, o indicates a
low fluid level and the number is the number of quarts of fluid the transmission requires.
Example: o, L; L, o; 2 — Indicates 2 additional quarts of fluid will bring the fluid level within the
proper fluid level.

7. High fluid level is reported when o, L is displayed, followed by H, I and a number. H, I indicates
high fluid level and the number shows how many quarts the transmission is overfilled.
Example: o, L, H, I, 1 — Indicates one quart of fluid above the full level.

A low or high fluid level causes overheating and irregular shift patterns. An incorrect fluid
CAUTION:
level can damage the transmission.

8. An Invalid for Display condition is reported when o, L is displayed, followed by “–” and a number
display. The displayed number is a fault code and indicates improper conditions or a system mal-
function.
Example: o, L, –, 7,0 — Indicates an Invalid for Display condition and fault code 70.

9. Invalid for Display is activated when conditions do not allow the fluid level to be checked electron-
ically. Review the following codes and conditions, and correct as necessary.

Table 5–1. Invalid for Display Codes


CODE CAUSE OF CODE
X* — Settling time too short
5 ,0 — Engine speed (rpm) too low
5 ,9 — Engine speed (rpm) too high
6 ,5 — N (Neutral) must be selected
7 ,0 — Sump fluid temperature too low
7 ,9 — Sump fluid temperature too high
8 ,9 — Output shaft rotation
9 ,5 — Sensor failure**
* A number between 8 and 1 that flashes during the count-
down period.
** Speed sensor, throttle sensor, temperature sensor, or oil
level sensor.

10. To exit the fluid level display mode:

• Pushbutton shift selector — press the N (Neutral) pushbutton or press ⇑ and ⇓ arrow
pushbuttons simultaneously two times.
• Lever shift selector — press the “display mode” button two times or move the lever.

5–2. ELECTRONIC FLUID LEVEL CHECK (PRO-LINK® 9000)


The Pro-Link® 9000 (DDR) can also be used to electronically check the transmission’s fluid level. Further detail is
also provided in Appendix N of this manual.

A low or high fluid level causes overheating and irregular shift patterns and, if not
CAUTION:
corrected, can damage the transmission.

A. Fluid Level Check Procedure

1. Connect the DDR to the DDR connector.

2. Scroll (down) the Diagnostic Data List to “OIL LVL” display.

3. Read the fluid level, repeat the check to confirm the first reading.

NOTE: The ECU may delay the fluid level check until the following conditions are met:

• The fluid temperature is between 60°C (140°F) and 104°C (220°F).

• The transmission is in N (Neutral).

• The vehicle has been stationary for approximately two minutes to allow the fluid to settle.

• The engine is at idle.

The reason for a delayed fluid level check is indicated on the DDR by one of the following diagnostic messages:

Table 5–1.

SECTION 6 — DIAGNOSTIC CODES


6–1. DIAGNOSTIC CODE MEMORY

Diagnostic codes are logged in a list in memory (sometimes referred to as the queue), listing the most recently
occurring code first and logging up to five codes. The codes contained in the list have information recorded as
shown in the table below (codes are examples). Access to the code list position, main code, subcode and active
indicator is through either the shift selector display or the Pro-Link® diagnostic tool. Access to ignition cycle
counter and event counter information is through the diagnostic tool only. Further detail on the use of
Pro-Link® 9000 DDR is presented in Appendix N of this manual.

Table 6–1. Code List


Code List Ignition Cycle
Position Main Code Subcode Active Indicator Counter Event Counter
d1 21 12 YES 00 10
d2 41 12 YES 00 04
d3 23 12 NO 08 02
d4 34 12 NO 13 01
d5 56 11 NO 22 02
Displayed on shift selector and diagnostic tool YES = LED indicator Not available on shift selector display
d = “diagnostic” illuminated

The following paragraphs define the different parts of the code list.

A. Code List Position. The position which a code occupies in the code list. Positions are displayed as
“d1” through “d5” (Code List Position #1 through Code List Position #5).

B. Main Code. The general condition or area of fault detected by the ECU.

C. Subcode. The specific area or condition related to the main code in which a fault is detected.

D. Active Indicator. Indicates when a diagnostic code is active. The MODE indicator LED on the shift
selector is illuminated or the diagnostic tool displays YES.

E. Ignition Cycle Counter. Determines when inactive diagnostic codes are automatically cleared from
the code list. The counter is increased by one each time a normal ECU power down occurs (ignition
turned off). Inactive codes are cleared from the code list after the counter exceeds 25.

F. Event Counter. Counts the number of occurrences of a diagnostic code. If a code is already in the
code list and the code is again detected, that code is moved to position d1, the active indicator is
turned on, the Ignition Cycle Counter is cleared, and 1 is added to the Event Counter.

6–2. CODE READING AND CODE CLEARING

Diagnostic codes can be read and cleared by two methods: by using the Pro-Link® 9000 diagnostic tool or by
entering the diagnostic display mode and using the shift selector display. The use of the Pro-Link® 9000 diagnostic
tool is described in the instruction manual furnished with each tool and briefly in Appendix N of this manual. The
method of reading and clearing codes described in this section refers to entering the diagnostic display mode by the
proper button movements on the shift selector.

Copyright © 1999 General Motors Corp. 6–1


TM 9-2320-312-24-3

DIAGNOSTIC CODES
The diagnostic display mode may be entered for viewing of codes at any speed. Active codes can only be cleared
when the output speed = 0 and no output speed sensor failure is active.

A. Reading Codes. Enter the diagnostic display mode by pressing the ⇑ (Up) and ⇓ (Down) arrow
buttons at the same time on a pushbutton selector, or by momentarily pressing the “display mode”
button on a lever shift selector.

NOTE: If a DO NOT SHIFT condition is present (CHECK TRANS light illuminated) at this time, the shift
selector may or may not respond to requested range changes.

NOTE: If an oil level sensor is present, then fluid level will be displayed first. Diagnostic code display is
achieved by simultaneously depressing the ⇑ (Up) and ⇓ (Down) arrow buttons a second time or the
“display mode” button a second time.

The code list or queue position is the first item displayed, followed by the main code and the subcode. Each item is
displayed for about one second. The display cycles continuously until the next code list position is accessed by
pressing the MODE button. The following list represents the display cycle using code 25 11 as an example:

1. Code list position — d, 1

2. Main code — 2, 5

3. Subcode —1, 1

4. Cycle repeats — d, 1, 2, 5, 1, 1

To view the second, third, fourth, and fifth positions (d2, d3, d4, and d5), momentarily press the MODE button as
explained above.

Momentarily press the MODE button after the fifth position is displayed to restart the sequence of code list
positions.

An active code is indicated by the illumination of the LED indicator when a code position is displayed while in the
diagnostic display mode. In the normal operating mode, the LED indicator illuminates to show a secondary mode
operation.

Any code position which does not have a diagnostic code logged will display “–” for both the main and subcodes.
No diagnostic codes are logged after an empty code position.

B. Clearing Active Indicators. A diagnostic code’s active indicator can be cleared, which allows the
code inhibit to be cleared but remains in the queue as inactive.

The active indicator clearing methods are:

1. Power down — All active indicators, except code 69 34 (refer to the code chart), are cleared at
ECU power down.

2. Self-clearing — Some codes will clear their active indicator when the condition causing the code
is no longer detected by the ECU.

6–2 Copyright © 1999 General Motors Corp.


TM 9-2320-312-24-3

DIAGNOSTIC CODES
3. Manual — Some active indicators can be cleared manually, while in the diagnostic display mode,
after the condition causing the code is corrected.

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. Neutral must be manually selected.

C. Manually Clearing Codes and Active Indicators from the Code List. To clear active indicators or
all codes:
1. Enter the diagnostic display mode.
2. Press and hold the MODE button for approximately three seconds until the LED indicator flashes.
All active indicators are cleared. To remove all inactive codes, press and hold the MODE button
for about ten seconds until the LED indicator flashes again. All active indicators will be cleared at
ECU power down.
3. Codes that cannot be manually cleared will remain.

D. Exiting the diagnostic display mode. Exit the diagnostic display mode using one of the following
procedures:
1. On a pushbutton shift selector, press the ⇑ (Up) and ⇓ (Down) arrow buttons at the same time or
press any range button, D, N, or R. The shift (D, N, or R) is commanded if not inhibited by an
active code.
2. On a lever shift selector, momentarily press the “display mode” button or move the shift lever to any
shift position other than the one it was in when the diagnostic display mode was activated. If the
shift is inhibited, the ECU will continue to command the current transmission range attained and the
lever should be returned to its original position.
3. Wait until timeout (approximately 10 minutes) and the system will automatically return to the
normal operating mode.
4. Turn off power to the ECU (turn off the vehicle engine at the ignition switch).

6–3. DIAGNOSTIC CODE RESPONSE

The following ECU responses to a fault provide for safe transmission operation:
• Do Not Shift (DNS) Response
— Release lockup clutch and inhibit lockup operation.
— Inhibit all shifts.
— Turn on the CHECK TRANS light.
— Display the range attained.
— Ignore any range selection inputs from the pushbutton or lever shift selector.

• Do Not Adapt (DNA) Response


— The ECU stops adaptive shift control while the code is active. Do not adapt shifts when a code with
the DNA response is active.

Copyright © 1999 General Motors Corp. 6–3


TM 9-2320-312-24-3

DIAGNOSTIC CODES
• SOLenoid OFF (SOL OFF) Response
— All solenoids are commanded off (turning solenoids “A” and “B” off electrically causes them to be
on hydraulically).
• Return to Previous Range (RPR) Response
— When the speed sensor ratio or C3 pressure switch tests associated with a shift are not successful,
the ECU commands the same range as commanded before the shift.
• Neutral No Clutches (NNC) Response
— When certain speed sensor ratio or C3 pressure switch tests are not successful, the ECU commands
a neutral condition with no clutches applied.

6–4. SHIFT SELECTOR DISPLAYS RELATED TO ACTIVE CODES


• “Cateye” — The forward slash segments and the middle horizontal segments (-\-) may be on under the
following conditions:
— RSI link fault is active (code 23 12 or 23 14)
— When two COP timeouts occur within two seconds of each other (reference code 69 33)
— Shift selector display line fault is active (23 16)

• All Segments Displayed — All display segments will be illuminated if a severity 1 diagnostic code is
present during initialization, or if an electrical code for solenoids A, B, C, D, E, or G is logged before
initialization completes.

6–6. DIAGNOSTIC CODE TROUBLESHOOTING

A. Beginning The Troubleshooting Process

1. Begin troubleshooting by checking the transmission fluid level and ECU input voltage. Check
diagnostic codes by:

• Using the shift selector display.

• Using the Pro-Link® 9000 diagnostic tool.

2. When a problem exists but a diagnostic code is not indicated, refer to the Performance Complaint
Section for a listing of various electrical and hydraulic problems, their causes, and remedies.

3. If a diagnostic code is found in the ECU memory, record all available code information and clear
the active indicator (refer to Paragraph 6–2).

4. Test drive the vehicle to confirm a diagnostic code or performance complaint.

• If the code reappears, refer to the Diagnostic Code section (Section 6) and the appropriate code
chart. The Diagnostic Code section lists diagnostic codes and their description. Locate the
appropriate troubleshooting chart and follow the instructions.
• If the code does not reappear, it may be an intermittent problem. Use the Pro-Link® and the
code display procedure described in Section 6. The code display procedure will indicate the
number of times the diagnostic code has occurred. Refer to the troubleshooting chart for
possible cause(s) 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 6–1. Refer to Figure 6–1 as
necessary when using the diagnostic code schematics.

C. Diagnostic Code Schematics

The diagnostic code schematics in this section show wiring for both the optional oil level sensor and
retarder, where applicable. If your transmission is not equipped with an oil level sensor or retarder,
disregard the portions of the schematic pertaining to those optional pieces of equipment. Refer to the
appropriate transmission Service Manual for solenoid replacement procedures.

D. Wire/Terminal Numbering Scheme

WTEC III wire identification presents the wire number followed by the ECU terminal source
(i.e., 157-S30). This is done to retain the wire number/function assignments from WTEC II and
indicate the ECU connector and terminal origination for WTEC III. If there is a letter suffix following
the wire number, there is a splice between the ECU source and wire destination (i.e., 136A-S16).

— ECU INPUTCODES
VOLTAGE (Figure 6–2)

Main code 13 indicates either a high or low input voltage. Low voltage is less than 8 volts. High voltage is over 33
volts.

Common causes for a low voltage code are:


• Bad batteries
• Faulty vehicle charging system
• No dedicated power and ground connection directly to the battery or through an electronic bus bar to the
battery
Common causes for the high voltage code are:
• Faulty vehicle alternator
• Faulty vehicle voltage regulator
In the event of a power loss, the transmission fails to the ranges indicated in the following, depending upon which
latch valve releases first:

Attained Range Fail to Range

13 13 Battery voltage to the ECU too low (medium)
13 23 Battery voltage to the ECU too high

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:


• Power down
• Manual
• Self-clearing

B. Troubleshooting:
1. Connect the diagnostic tool and turn on vehicle ignition. Select Diagnostic Data to find input
voltage. Record reading.
2. Turn off vehicle ignition and remove the connectors from the ECU.
3. Check system voltage at wire 136A and 136C, pin V1 and V16. If power is low or high at this
point, and the diagnostic tool reading is also low or high, the vehicle wiring is suspect. Check for
fuse problems, lack of battery-direct power and ground, faulty charging system/batteries, and
loose or dirty connections (see Appendix A). Power may also be low or high at pins V1 and V16
(system power) if the batteries/charging system is faulty. Bad grounds may also cause incorrect in-
put power readings.

4. If power is correct but the diagnostic tool reading indicates incorrect voltage, closely inspect
terminals V1 and V16 or S16; make sure they are not corroded or deformed. Clean or replace as
necessary (see Appendix E, Paragraph 1–1).
5. If the voltage condition is intermittent, closely inspect the vehicle wiring for transmission system
power and grounds. Check for loose, dirty, or painted connections. Check the VIM for loose,
incorrect, or overheating relays or fuses (refer to Appendix G). Check for wires that are chafed
and touching other components.
6. If no other cause is found, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall
the original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works,
inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent condi-
tion. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

OIL LEVEL SENSOR
CODES (OLS) (Figure 6–3)
The oil level sensor (OLS) must have been recognized by autodetect or manually selected using the Pro-Link®
(see WTEC III Pro-Link® Manual) before these codes can be logged. See Paragraph 1–9 for further information.

Code 14 12 indicates the ECU has detected a voltage signal in the low error zone.

Code 14 12 can be caused by:

• Faulty wiring to the OLS


• A faulty OLS
• A faulty ECU

Never use a volt/ohmmeter to measure any parameters on the OLS. Damage to the OLS
CAUTION:
will result.

OLS ground wire 135B is common to the TPS and the RMR devices. A power wire short-to-ground for any of
these devices will cause “sensor failed low” codes (21 12 and 64 12) and shutdown of the electronic pushbutton or
lever selector. An OLS signal open or short-to-ground results in a code 14 12 only. Code 14 23 is programmed out
of all calibrations.

A permanent maximum voltage signal generates a steady OLS sensor maximum count and a maximum fluid level
overfill indication. A maximum overfill indication occurs if signal wire 165 or power wire 124 is shorted to battery
or the ground wire (wire 135) is open between the OLS and the sump temperature sensor branch. An open in the
ground circuit wire 135 in the portion common to the OLS, TPS and RMR devices results in code 14 12, 21 23, and
64 23.

If the ECU software supports it, Oil Level Sensor counts can be read by a DDR with Pro-Link® version 3.0 (or
later). For a complete description of fluid level checking procedures using the oil level sensor, see Section 5.
Normal operation of the OLS can be checked as follows: Attach the DDR and display OIL LEVEL COUNTS.
Read the number of counts when the engine is not running, but the ignition is ON. The count reading should be
near 255. Start the engine and observe the counts. In normal operation, the count should be 100–200 because the
oil level drops when the engine starts and oil from the sump is delivered to other parts of the transmission.

NOTE: Intermittent connections or lack of battery-direct power and ground connections can cause this and
other electronic control codes.

OIL LEVEL SENSOR
CODES (OLS) (Figure 6–3)
NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6. Also, check the following:
• Fluid level, using dipstick
• Battery voltage
• ECU input voltage
• Other diagnostic codes

B. Troubleshooting:
The following procedure is to find the cause for an OLS problem. The procedure is sequential. Follow
the procedure until the cause for the OLS problem is found and repaired. Once the problem is found
and repaired, STOP. For example, if the problem is fixed in step 3, there is no need to continue to the
other steps.

1. Disconnect the external wiring harness at the transmission feedthrough connector. With the igni-
tion ON, verify there is 5.0 VDC between the OLS power and ground pins (see page D–10) on the
external harness connector. This is to verify that power and ground are getting to the OLS. If the
5.0 VDC is not present, check the wiring for the OLS power and ground circuits (wires 124–T9
and 135–T25, respectively). If there are no wiring problems (opens, shorts-to-ground, shorts-to-
battery), and if the 5.0 VDC is present, go to Step 2.
2. Observe the OIL LEVEL COUNTS on the DDR while jumpering the OLS power pin to the OLS
signal pin. If the count jumps from 0 to 250+, the OLS signal line is good and the ECU function is
good. Continue to Step 3. If the count remains at zero, locate and repair problems in the wiring of
OLS signal (wire 165–T26). If there are no wiring problems, and the count still remains at zero,
the ECU may be bad. Go to Step 5.
3. If all checks prior to this have been normal, the problem is either in the OLS itself, the internal har-
ness wires or the transmission side of the feedthrough harness connection. Inspect the transmission
feedthrough harness connector to be sure that the OLS power, ground and signal pins are not loose
or out of position. Correct any connector problems found. Reconnect the external harness to the
transmission feedthrough harness connector. See if Code 14 12 recurs before continuing to Step 4.
4. Consult the appropriate transmission Service Manual for proper procedure and remove the control
module from the transmission. Remove the OLS from the channel plate. Reconnect the external
harness to the transmission feedthrough connector, if not done in Step 3. With the ignition ON, ob-
serve OIL LEVEL COUNTS on the DDR. With the OLS in normal position, the count should be
8–35. Invert the OLS and the count should be 192–255. If the counts are abnormal, replace the
sensor. Check the new sensor in both normal and inverted positions. If the counts respond cor-
rectly, the problem should be resolved. Attach the new OLS to the channel plate and reinstall the
control module using the appropriate transmission Service Manual for proper procedure.
5. Replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the original (bad) ECU to
confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works, inspect the ECU connec-
tors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent condition. If the original prob-
lem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

CODE 21 XX — THROTTLE ORCODES
DIAGNOSTIC PWM FAULT (Figure 6–4)

The throttle sensor must have been recognized by autodetect or manually selected using the Pro-Link® (see
WTEC III Pro-Link® Manual) before these codes can be logged. See Paragraph 1–9 for further information.

Main code 21 indicates the throttle position sensor has been retracted or extended by its linkage into an error zone.
This may be due to a fault with the sensor, or a fault in the wiring to the sensor or to the ECU. This code may also
indicate a PWM signal problem. A PWM signal is proportional to throttle position and comes from some source
other than an analog throttle position sensor. Code 21 12 is set when the ECU receives TPS counts of 14 or less.
Code 21 23 is set when the ECU senses TPS counts of 233–255. Whenever a code 21 XX condition is detected, the
system uses default throttle values and shifts will not adapt.

NOTE: Code 21 XX in conjunction with code 33 XX or code 14 XX indicates the potential loss of common
ground wire 135 between the throttle, temperature sensor, and oil level sensor.

Throttle position sensor failed high and
21 23
ECU signals a throttle default value

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:


• Power down
• Manual
• Self-clearing

NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6. Also, check the ECU input voltage.

B. Troubleshooting:

1. Plug in the DDR, select Diagnostic Data, and read throttle counts and percent. If the TPS failed
high (code 21 23), the problem may be toward the full throttle end of the TPS travel. If the TPS
failed low (code 21 12), the problem may be at the closed throttle end of the TPS travel.

NOTE: Code 21 12 may occur when the throttle source is J1587 or J1939 and an analog throttle source is
falsely detected. This condition may be due to a problem in an unused TPS branch of a universal
external harness. To prevent this occurrence, remove wire 156 from the ECU connector and insert a
cavity plug in the space vacated by the wire. Be sure that the unused TPS branch is routed away from
potential induced voltage sources and the connector is protected from external contamination.

NOTE: Code 21 12 can result when the +5V line (wire 124) which powers the analog sensor is shorted to
ground. Wire 124 also powers the OLS, RMR, retarder temperature sensor, sump temperature sensor,
and shift selector and is present in all three ECU connectors.

2. If counts are high but the percentage never reaches 100 percent, TPS linkage may have bound up
and overstroked the TPS to set a false 100 percent reading. After TPS overstroking ceases, the
TPS will not automatically return to 100 percent. After the TPS is correctly installed and adjusted,
use the Pro-Link® to reset throttle calibration or cycle the ignition 5 times to reset the 0 percent
and 100 percent settings. See the TPS section of this book (Appendix F) for installation and ad-
justment procedures.

DIAGNOSTIC PWM FAULT (Figure 6–4)

3. If the throttle counts do not change or are erratic, check the throttle sensor wiring for opens, shorts
between wires, or shorts-to-ground. Also check for correct TPS voltages using test wiring harness
J 41339. If wiring problems are found, isolate and repair the fault (refer to Appendix E for repair
information).

4. If the wiring is satisfactory, replace the throttle position sensor and adjust its linkage so the counts
are not in the error zones (see Appendix F).

5. If the throttle sensor and its linkage adjustment are correct and the wiring to the sensor is satisfac-
tory, the condition is intermittent. Replace the sensor and properly adjust the new sensor.

6. If the condition recurs, use a spare wire, if available, or provide a new wire (St. Clair P/N 200153
may be used for this purpose) for the throttle sensor circuit. See Appendix E for connector repair
information.

7. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works, in-
spect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent condition.
If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

NOTE: A good throttle position sensor should have resistance of:


(1) 9000–15,000 Ohms across terminals A and C.
(2) 500 Ohms, moving to 9000–15,000 Ohms as TPS is stroked (measured across
terminals A and B).

CODE 22 XX — SPEED SENSOR/CIRCUITRY
DIAGNOSTIC CODES FAULT (Figure 6–5)

Main code 22 indicates a fault within a speed sensor, the wiring to a speed sensor, incorrect speed sensor gap, or
damaged bumps or teeth which create the speed signal. This fault is determined by the reasonableness of a speed
sensor signal when compared with the other two speed sensors and the commanded range. A speed sensor will not
pass the reasonableness test if there is no signal at all from that sensor when a signal should be present.

NOTE: If turbine speed is below 150 rpm when output speed is below 100 rpm and engine speed is above
400 rpm, Neutral Very Low (NVL) is commanded when N (Neutral) is the range selected. NVL is
attained by turning D solenoid “ON” in addition to E solenoid. This causes the output to be locked
(C4 and C5 clutch applied).

NOTE: If the engine speed sensor code (22 14) is active and a range verification test is failed, the range
verification code will not be set but a DO NOT SHIFT response is commanded.

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:

• Power down
• Manual
• Self-clearing

NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6. Also, check the ECU input voltage.

B. Troubleshooting:

1. Check to see if the sensor is loose, missing, or disconnected. If not, disconnect the wiring harness
from the sensor and measure the resistance of the sensor (see chart below). Also check the termi-
nals for dirt, corrosion, or damage. If resistance is not correct, replace the sensor.

Resistance Temp ˚C Temp ˚F


200 Ω –40 –40
300 Ω 20 68
400 Ω 110 230

2. Remove the transmission harness connector from the ECU. Check the sensor circuit (in the exter-
nal harness) for open wires, shorts between wires, or shorts-to-ground. Isolate and repair any faults
(refer to Appendix E for repair information).

3. If no opens or shorts are found, the condition must be intermittent. Replace the sensor indicated
by the trouble code. Before replacing a speed sensor, check the sensor for physical damage or
contamination. Refer to the appropriate transmission Service Manual for proper replacement
procedure.

4. If the condition recurs, install new wiring (twisted-pair) for the sensor circuit between the ECU
and the transmission. Use St. Clair P/N 200153 Service Harness Twisted Pair for this purpose.

DIAGNOSTIC CODES FAULT (Figure 6–5)

5. If the condition again recurs, connect the diagnostic tool and select the speed signal indicated by
the trouble code. Drive the vehicle and watch the speed reading on the diagnostic tool. If the signal
is erratic, sensor gap, vehicle vibration, an external AC signal source, or intermittent connector
contact may be inducing the erratic signal. Inspect the sensor and its surroundings for irregularities
that would affect sensor gap. Isolate and correct any abnormal vehicle vibrations (particularly
driveline and abnormal engine torsionals, see Sales Tech Data Book, Part II, Section C). Recheck
the sensor wiring for intermittent conditions (see Appendix A).
6. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works,
inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent
condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:


• Power down
• Manual
• Self-clearing

NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6.

B. Troubleshooting:
1. Clear the active indicator for code 23 XX. If code recurs, continue to Step (2).
2. Check for a poor connection at the shift selector.

NOTE: Code 23 12 can result when the +5V line (wire 124) which powers the shift selector is shorted to
ground. Wire 124 also powers the TPS, OLS, RMR, retarder temperature sensor, and sump oil
temperature sensor and is present in all three ECU connectors.

3. Disconnect the selector “S” harness connector from the ECU and from the shift selector and check
for opens, shorts, and shorts-to-ground between the shift selector and ECU (refer to Section 4).
Repair as needed (refer to Appendix E).
4. If no problem is found with the shift selector connection or wiring, replace the shift selector.
5. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works, in-
spect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent condition.
If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

CODE 24 XX — SUMP FLUID TEMPERATURE
DIAGNOSTIC CODES (Figure 6–7)

Main code 24 indicates the ECU has detected either a high or low fluid temperature in the transmission sump (via
the sump temperature sensor in the internal harness). All shifts are inhibited when code 24 12 is set (only Neutral
range operation is allowed). No upshifts are allowed above a calibration range when code 24 23 is set. All inhibits
are cleared when the temperature conditions are normal. A related code is 33 12 which indicates a temperature
reading outside the usable range of the sensor and indicates a probable sensor failure.

NOTE: When an ECU with a version 8 calibration (CIN=0A...) is used with a TransID 2 transmission,
24 XX codes are set because the ECU does not have the proper calibrations for the TID 2 thermistors.
The ECU calibration must be updated to version 8A or later (CIN=0B).

TransID (TID) information related to thermistor changes is in Paragraph 1–10 and detailed troubleshooting
information for TID 2 thermistors is shown in Appendix Q.

Main
Code Subcode Meaning
24 12 Sump fluid temperature cold
24 23 Sump fluid temperature hot

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:


• Power down
• Manual
• Self-clearing

NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6. Also, check the ECU input voltage.

B. Troubleshooting:

Code 24 12:

1. If the outside temperature is between –32˚C (–26˚F) and –7˚C (+19˚F), the ECU will allow re-
verse, neutral, and second-range start operation. Only hold override upshifts are allowed. (See
Table 6–4 on next page.) The sump must be warmed to an acceptable temperature to avoid logging
codes and transmission diagnostic response.

NOTE: Code 24 12 can result when the +5V line (wire 124) which powers the sump temperature sensor is
shorted to ground. Wire 124 also powers the TPS, OLS, RMR, retarder temperature sensor, and shift
selectors and is present in all three ECU connectors.

2. After allowing the temperatures to normalize, if ambient temperature does not match the sump
temperature reading (check using diagnostic tool), compare resistance versus sump fluid temper-
ature. Refer to Figure 6–8 for TID 1 thermistors and Appendix Q for TID 2 thermistors. If resis-
tance check is acceptable, then check the sensor wiring for opens, shorts, or shorts-to-ground.

3. If the sensor wiring is satisfactory, drain the fluid, remove the control module, and replace the
temperature sensor (refer to appropriate transmission Service Manual).

4. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall
the original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now
works, inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage that may cause an intermittent
condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

tool. Observe the gauges and check for hot fluid when the code is produced.
2. If the fluid is not hot when the code is produced, remove the transmission “T” harness connector
at the ECU and the transmission. Check the fluid temperature sensor wiring for opens, shorts,
and shorts-to-ground. Compare the resistance readings of the sensor and the actual temperature

as shown on the gauge with Figure 6–8 for TID 1 thermistors and Appendix Q for TID 2
thermistors. If wiring problems or a great difference between temperature and resistance
compared with the chart are found, drain the fluid, remove the control module, and replace the
temperature sensor (refer to the Service Manual for the transmission being checked). If wiring
problems are found, repair or replace as necessary.

3. If the fluid is hot when the code is produced, observe the gauges to see if the engine became hot
before the transmission. If the engine cooling system is overheating and heating the transmission,
the problem is with the engine or its cooling system.

4. If the transmission became hot before the engine, allow the vehicle to idle for 3–5 minutes and
check the transmission fluid level. Correct the fluid level if necessary.

5. Attach pressure gauges to the cooling system (from a “to cooler” connection to a point after the
cooling circuit filter) and check for pressure drop problems. If pressure drop is excessive (refer to
Table 6–5), check for a plugged cooler filter, collapsed lines, obstructions, etc.

6. If the fluid level is correct and the cooling circuits satisfactory, drain the fluid, remove the control
module, and inspect for damaged valve body gaskets. Replace any damaged gaskets (refer to the
appropriate transmission Service Manual).

7. If no problems are found in the control module area, remove the transmission and disassemble, in-
specting for causes of overheating (stuck stator, plugged orifices, dragging clutches, etc.). (See the
Service Manual for the transmission being checked.)

CODE 25 XX — OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR, DETECTED AT ZERO SPEED,
X RANGE (Figure 6–9)
Main code 25 occurs if the output speed sensor reports a zero speed reading while both engine and turbine speeds
are approximately equal, turbine speed is above a calibration value, and neutral is not selected or commanded.
Main code 25 indicates either the output speed sensor has failed or the required oncoming clutch or clutches did not
come on. Code 25 11 can be generated by a false turbine speed reading. This may be due to crosstalk between
solenoid and turbine speed sensor circuits caused by direct wire-to-wire short or by water in the electrical
connectors. See Section 4 for corrective action.

NOTE: If code 25 XX is in memory at ECU initialization (ignition on), all display segments are illuminated.

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:


• Power down
• Manual
• Self-clearing

NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6. Also, check battery and ECU input voltages.

NOTE: Intermittent connections or lack of battery-direct power and ground connections can cause this and
other codes.

B. Troubleshooting:
1. Check the transmission fluid level and ensure correct fluid level.
2. Check for the presence of code 22 16. If code 22 16 is in the code list, go to code 22 XX section
and follow troubleshooting steps for code 22 16.
3. Connect the Pro-Link® 9000 with ignition on, engine off; check for indication of turbine speed. If
turbine speed is indicated, refer to Paragraph 4–2 for corrective action.
4. If the output speed sensor and wiring are satisfactory, install pressure gauges into the appropriate
clutch pressure taps (see appropriate transmission Service Manual or Appendix B in this manual)
and make the shift again. See if either of the clutches has low or no pressure. Lack of pressure in
C1 in first range may be due to a G solenoid stuck closed. Lack of pressure in C5 in first range may
be due to an E solenoid stuck closed.
5. If a clutch is leaking pressure, drain the fluid, remove the control module and check for damaged
valve body gaskets and stuck or sticky valves. If no problems are found, replace the solenoids for
the clutches used in the range indicated by the code (refer to Figure 6–1). Refer to the appropriate
transmission Service Manual for replacement procedure.

CODE 25 XX — OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR, DETECTED AT ZERO SPEED,
X RANGE (Figure 6–9)
6. If, after detecting leaking pressure and replacing solenoids, the problem persists, check for worn
clutch or piston seals. Remove the transmission and repair or replace as necessary (refer to the
proper transmission Service Manual).
7. This code requires accurate output and turbine speed readings. If there were no transmission prob-
lems detected, use the diagnostic tool and watch the speed readings for noise (erratic signals) from
low speed to high speed in the range indicated by the code.
8. If a noisy sensor is found, check the sensor resistance (refer to the sensor resistance chart below)
and check its wiring for opens, shorts, and shorts-to-ground (see code 22 XX). Also closely check
the terminals in the connectors for corrosion, contamination, or damage. Ensure the wiring to the
sensors is a properly twisted wire pair. Remove sensor and check for damage at the tone wheel
end. Check for looseness of the tone wheel. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual if repair of a
loose tone wheel is necessary. Replace the sensor if it is damaged or if its resistance (refer to
Service Manual for proper procedure) is incorrect and isolate and repair any noted wiring
problems. (Use St. Clair P/N 200153 Service Harness Twisted Pair for this procedure.)

Resistance Temp. ˚C Temp. ˚F


200 Ω –40 –40
300 Ω 20 68
400 Ω 110 230

9. If no apparent cause for the code can be located, replace the turbine and output speed sensors.
Refer to the appropriate transmission Service Manual for proper procedure.
10. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works,
inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent
condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

CODE 26 XX — THROTTLE SOURCE/ENGINE COOLANT SOURCE
NOT DETECTED
Main code 26 occurs when the ECU has not detected either a throttle source or an engine coolant source. This is a
new code related to the autodetect feature which is described in Paragraph 1–9.

Main
Code Subcode Meaning
26 00 Throttle source not detected
26 11 Engine coolant source not detected

Code 26 00 means that the ECU has not detected the presence of engine throttle data or analog circuitry. For details
about autodetect or using Pro-Link® to select a throttle source, see Paragraph 1–9 and the WTEC III Pro-Link®
Manual.

Code 26 11 means that the ECU has not detected the presence of engine coolant temperature data or analog
circuitry. For details about autodetect or using Pro-Link® to select an engine coolant temperature source, see
Paragraph 1–9 and the WTEC III Pro-Link® Manual.

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure


• Power down
• Manual

B. Troubleshooting
1. When code 26 00 is logged and an analog TPS is known to be installed, refer to code 21 XX for
troubleshooting steps. If a J1587 or J1939 throttle signal is used, refer to code 66 00 for trouble-
shooting steps.
2. When code 26 11 is logged and if an analog engine coolant temperature sensor is being used, refer
to code 62 XX for troubleshooting steps. If a J1587 or J1939 engine coolant temperature signal is
being used, refer to code 66 00 for troubleshooting steps.

CODE 32 XX — C3 PRESSURE SWITCH (Figure 6–10)

Main code 32 indicates the transmission gear ratio is correct, but the C3 pressure switch is open when it should be
closed.

NOTE: When an ECU with a version 8 or 8A calibration is used with a pre-TransID transmission, 32 XX
codes are set because the ECU sees wire 195 is open. To correct this condition, convert to a TID 1
internal harness or install Adapter P/N 200100 available from St. Clair Technologies. See addresses
on Page 1–7.

Further TransID (TID) information is in Paragraph 1–10.

(MD 3070 or HD 4070 only)
32 33 C3 switch open in third range
32 55 C3 switch open in fifth range
32 77 C3 switch open in reverse range

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:


• Power down
• Manual
• Self-clearing

NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6. Also, check battery and ECU input voltages.

B. Troubleshooting:

1. Disconnect the transmission “T” harness connector at the ECU and the transmission. Check the
C3 switch circuit for opens, shorts to other wires, shorts-to-ground, or short-to-battery. If wiring
problems are found, isolate and repair. The C3 pressure switch closes at 206.8 ± 48 kPa (30 ± 7 psi);
resistance should be 2 Ohms maximum when the switch is closed and 20,000 to infinity when the
switch is open. Infinity is often indicated as OL (over limit) on a DVOM.

2. If problems are not found in the external harness, drain the fluid, remove the control module, and
check the internal harness for opens, shorts between wires, or shorts-to-ground (refer to the proper
transmission Service Manual). If wiring problems are found, isolate and repair (see Appendix E,
Paragraph 1–9).

3. If no wiring problems are found, replace the C3 pressure switch (refer to transmission Service
Manual).

4. If the problem recurs, use a spare wire, if available, or provide a new wire (St. Clair P/N 200153
may be used for this purpose) for the C3 pressure switch circuit.

5. If the problem recurs again, replace the internal harness.

6. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works, in-
spect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent condition.
If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

CODE 33 XX — SUMP OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR (Figure 6–11)

NOTE: When an ECU with a version 8 calibration(CIN=0A...) is used with a Trans ID 2 transmission, 33 XX
codes are set because the ECU does not have the proper calibrations for the TID 2 thermistors.
The ECU calibration must be updated to version 8A or later (CIN=0B...).

TransID (TID) information related to thermistor changes is in Paragraph 1–10 and detailed troubleshooting
information for TID 2 thermistors is shown in Appendix Q.

Main code 33 indicates the sump temperature sensor is providing a signal outside the usable range of the ECU.
This code indicates the sensor failed showing abnormally high or low temperature readings. Main code 33 can be
caused by a component or circuit failure or by extremely high or low temperatures. There are no operational
inhibits related to main code 33. The ECU assumes a hardware failure and that transmission temperatures are
normal (93ºC; 200ºF). Temperatures above or below normal cause poor shift quality.

NOTE: Code 33 23 in conjunction with code 21 23 indicates the loss of common ground (wire 135) between
the throttle and temperature sensors.

Main
Code Subcode Meaning
33 12 Sump oil temperature sensor failed low
33 23 Sump oil temperature sensor failed high

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:

• Power down

• Manual

• Self-clearing

NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6. Also, check the transmission fluid level.

B. Troubleshooting:

NOTE: Code 33 12 can be caused when the +5V power line (wire 124) is shorted to ground or open. Wire 124
also provides power for the OLS, TPS, RMR, retarder temperature sensor, and shift selectors and is
present in all three ECU connectors.

1. If possible, check the sump temperature with a DDR. Use the fastest sample rate available on the
DDR. This is necessary to catch momentary changes due to an intermittent open or short to
ground. If a DDR is not available, use the shift selector display to determine if the code is active
(refer to Paragraph 6–2). Disconnect the transmission “T” harness at the ECU and check resistance
of the sensor and compare with Figure 6–12 for TID 1 and Appendix Q for TID 2.

2. If Step (1) reveals that the extreme temperature indication is no longer present, the temperature
limit could have been reached due to operational or ambient temperature extremes. Also, you may
be experiencing an intermittent problem and the code will not be active. Proceed cautiously, it is
unlikely there is a sensor hardware fault.

3. Disconnect the external harness at the transmission. Check the connectors and terminals for dirt,
corrosion, or damage. Clean or replace as necessary.
4. Check the sensor wires in the external harness for opens (code 33 23), shorts between wires, or
shorts-to-ground (code 33 12 — refer to Section 4). If wiring problems are found, isolate and re-
pair as described in Appendix E.
5. If no harness problems are found, check the feedthrough harness for damage. If the feedthrough
harness connector is satisfactory, drain the fluid and remove the control module. Check for chafing
of the sensor wires, especially near the separator plate. Eliminate the chafe point. If no chafe point
is found, replace the sensor (refer to the Transmission Service Manual and Appendix E, Paragraph
1–12 in this manual).
6. If the problem recurs, use a spare wire, if available, or provide a new wire (St. Clair P/N 200153
may be used for this purpose) for the temperature sensor circuit.
7. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works, in-
spect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent condition.
If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

CODE 35 XX — POWER INTERRUPTION (Figure 6–13)

Main code 35 indicates the ECU has detected a complete power loss before the ignition was turned off or before
ECU shutdown is completed. When this happens, the ECU is not able to save the current operating parameters in
memory before turning itself off.

Main
Code Subcode Meaning
35 00 Power interruption. (Not an active code; only appears after power is restored.)
During power interruption, DNS light is not illuminated and the transmission
will not shift.
35 16 Real-time write interruption. (Power interruption at the same time the ECU is
recording a critical code to the real-time section.)

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:


• Power down
• Manual — except code 35 16

NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6. Also, check battery and ECU input voltages.

B. Troubleshooting:

1. If the vehicle has a master switch controlling battery power to the ECU and an ignition switch,
turning the master switch off before turning the ignition switch off can cause this code. Turning the
master switch off before ECU shutdown is completed will also cause this code. No troubleshoot-
ing is necessary.

2. If improper switch sequencing is not the cause, check ECU power and ground for opens, shorts,
and shorts-to-ground. Not using battery-direct power and battery ground connections can cause
this code. A defective charging system, or open battery fuse or fusible link can also cause this
code. The battery fuse or fusible link may be at the battery or in the VIM. Dirty, corroded, or
painted power and ground connections can also cause this code.

3. If all system power and ground connections are satisfactory and the problem persists, replace the
ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the original (bad) ECU to confirm that
the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works, inspect the ECU connectors for any
corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent condition. If the original problem reoccurs,
reinstall the replacement ECU.

CODE 42 XX — SHORT-TO-BATTERY IN SOLENOID CIRCUIT (Figure 6–14)

Main code 42 indicates the ECU has detected a short-to-battery condition in a solenoid wiring circuit. The
DO NOT SHIFT response is activated when some subcodes are detected, all solenoids are turned off and the
CHECK TRANS light is illuminated. All solenoids have a driver on the low (ground) side which can turn off the
solenoid. All solenoids also have a driver on the high (power) side of the solenoid. Even though the high side driver
can be turned off, a short-to-battery means the solenoid is continuously powered at an unregulated 12V or 24V
instead of a regulated (pulse width modulated) voltage. The low side driver will not tolerate direct battery current
and will open, causing the solenoid to be deenergized.

NOTE: For subcodes 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 22 — neutral start is inoperable; all display segments are on if the
code is logged during ECU initialization (ignition on). Subcodes 21, 23, 24, and 26 will not trigger the

NOTE: “N” solenoid on the retarder accumulator has either a 12.5 ± 1.5 Ohm coil or a 23.5 ± 2.4 Ohm coil
and is not correlated to sump temperature.

PROBING THE CONNECTOR

When testing the control system from the feedthrough connector with the internal harness connected, the resistance
of each solenoid can be measured by using a VOM. Refer to Figure 6–15 for solenoid resistance versus
temperature.

B. Troubleshooting:
1. Make sure the transmission connector is tightly connected. If the connector is properly connected,
disconnect the wiring harness at the transmission. Check the connector for corroded or damaged
terminals. Clean or replace as necessary.
2. Test each solenoid circuit at the transmission connector for shorts between the solenoid circuit
being diagnosed and all other terminals in the connector. This test may be simplified by using the
J 41612 test tool. Refer to the system schematic and/or chart to identify wires in the internal
harness which are connected. If a short is found, isolate and repair the short. The short will
probably be in the internal wiring harness.
3. If multiple code 42s occur (42 12, 42 13, 42 14, 42 12, 42 16, 42 22, and 42 24), and wiring and
solenoids check okay, the A-Hi driver is probably failed open.
4. Replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the original (bad) ECU to
confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the problem recurs, reinstall the new ECU to complete
the repair.
5. If code 42 21 occurs repeatedly and the F solenoid and wiring checks okay, the F-Hi or F-Lo driver
may be failed open. Follow Step (4) above.
6. If codes 42 23 and 42 26 occur repeatedly and solenoids and wiring check okay, the H and N-Hi
driver may be failed open. Follow Step (4) above.
7. If the short is not found at the transmission connector, disconnect the transmission “T” harness
connector at the ECU and check the wires of the solenoid circuit for shorts between the solenoid
wires. If the short is found in one of the wires, isolate and repair it. Use a spare wire, if available,
or provide a new wire (St. Clair P/N 200153 may be used for this purpose).

CODE 42 XX — SHORT-TO-BATTERY IN SOLENOID CIRCUIT (Figure 6–14)

8. If the short is not found in either the transmission or the harness, the condition must be
intermittent.
9. Drain the fluid, remove the control module (see the transmission Service Manual) and closely
inspect the internal harness for damage. Repair or replace as necessary.
10. If the condition recurs, use a spare wire, if available, or provide a new wire (St. Clair P/N 200153
may be used for this purpose) for the solenoid circuit indicated by the trouble code. (Refer to
Appendix E for connector assembly/disassembly information.)
11. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works,
inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent
condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

B. Troubleshooting:

1. Check the transmission connector and make sure it is tightly connected. If the connector is
properly connected, disconnect the harness at the transmission and inspect the terminals in the
transmission harness and feedthrough harness connectors. Clean or replace as necessary
(Appendix D).

2. If the connector is connected, clean, and not damaged, check the solenoid circuit in the
transmission for shorts to other wires. (Tool J 41612 may be useful in making this test.) Refer to
the system schematic and/or chart to identify wires in the internal harness which are connected. If
the short circuit is found, drain the fluid, remove the control module (refer to the transmission
Service Manual), and isolate the short. The short is probably in the feedthrough harness, or the
solenoid itself (refer to Figure 6–1 for solenoid locations).

3. If the short is not found in the transmission, disconnect the transmission harness connector at the
ECU and inspect the terminals for damage or contamination. Clean or replace as necessary. If the
terminals are satisfactory, check the wires of the solenoid circuit in the transmission harness for
shorts-to-ground or shorts between wires. If a short is found in one of the wires, isolate and repair
it or use a spare wire, if available, or provide a new wire (St. Clair P/N 200153 may be used for this
purpose) in the external harness. Refer to Appendix E for connector/terminal repair information.

4. If the short is not found in either the transmission or the harness, the condition must be
intermittent.

5. Drain the fluid, remove the control module, and closely inspect the solenoid and internal harness
for damage. Repair or replace as necessary (refer to the transmission Service Manual).

B. Troubleshooting:

1. Check the transmission connector and make sure it is tightly connected. If the connector is
properly connected, disconnect the harness at the feedthrough harness connector and check the
terminals in the transmission harness and feedthrough harness connectors. Clean or replace as
necessary (Appendix E).

2. If the connector is connected, clean, and not damaged, check the solenoid circuit in the trans-
mission for opens. Refer to the system schematic and/or chart to identify wires in the internal
harness which are connected. If the open circuit is found, drain the fluid, remove the control
module (see the transmission Service Manual), and isolate the open. The fault will be in the
feedthrough harness or the solenoid itself (see Figure 6–1 for solenoid locations).

3. If the open is not found at the transmission connector, disconnect the transmission harness
connector at the ECU and inspect the terminals in the connector and the ECU for damage or
contamination. Clean or replace as necessary. If the terminals are satisfactory, check the wires of
the solenoid circuit in the transmission harness for continuity. If the open is found in one of the
wires, isolate and repair it. If this is not feasible, use a spare wire, if available, or provide a new
wire (St. Clair P/N 200153 may be used for this purpose). See Appendix E for information on
connector/wire repair.

4. If multiple code 45s occur (45 12, 45 13, 45 14, 45 15, 45 16, 45 22, and 45 24), and wiring and
solenoids check okay, the A-Hi driver is probably failed open.

5. Replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the original (bad) ECU to
confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the problem recurs, reinstall the new ECU to complete
the repair.

CODE 51 XX — OFFGOING RATIO TEST DURING SHIFT (TIE-UP TEST)

Main code 51 indicates a failed offgoing ratio test. An offgoing ratio test occurs during a shift and uses turbine and
output speed sensor readings to calculate the ratio between them. The calculated speed sensor ratio is then compared
to the programmed speed sensor ratio of the commanded range. After a shift is commanded, the ECU, after a period
of time, expects the old ratio to be gone. If the ratio does not change properly, the ECU assumes the offgoing clutch
did not release. The shift is retried if conditions still exist to schedule the shift. If the second shift is not successfully
completed, code 51 XX is set and the ECU returns the transmission to the previous range. Additional codes could be
logged for other shifts where “X” indicates the range from and “Y” indicates the range to.

NOTE: This test is not performed below a calibrated transmission output speed of 200 rpm.

NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6. Also, check battery and ECU input voltages.

NOTE: Intermittent connections or lack of battery-direct power and ground connections may cause this and
other codes.

B. Troubleshooting:

1. Incorrect fluid level can cause 51 series codes. Allow the vehicle to idle for 3–4 minutes and check
the transmission fluid level. If level is not correct, add or drain fluid to correct level.

2. If the fluid level is correct, connect a pressure gauge into the pressure tap for the offgoing clutch
indicated by the code (refer to solenoid and clutch chart, Appendix C). Make the shift indicated by
the subcode or use the Pro-Link® diagnostic tool clutch test mode to put the transmission in the
off-going and oncoming ranges (refer to Appendix B for clutch pressure check information).

CODE 51 XX — OFFGOING RATIO TEST DURING SHIFT (TIE-UP TEST)

3. If the offgoing clutch stays pressurized, drain the fluid, remove the control module, disassemble
the control module and clean it, inspecting for damaged valve body gaskets and stuck or sticky
valves. Inspect the transmission for signs of clutch damage indicating the need to remove and
overhaul the transmission (refer to the transmission Service Manual).
4. If the problem has not been isolated, replace the solenoid for the offgoing clutch (refer to the
transmission Service Manual).
5. If after replacing the solenoid the problem persists, install another ECU. If this corrects the
problem, temporarily reinstall the old ECU to verify the repair.
6. If this does not correct the problem, reinstall the original ECU and check for mechanical problems.
The clutch may be mechanically held (coned, burned and welded, etc.). It may be necessary to
remove the transmission and repair or rebuild as required (see the transmission Service Manual).

TM 9-2320-312-24-3
CODE 52 XX — OFFGOING C3 PRESSURE SWITCH TEST DURING SHIFT

Main code 52 indicates a failed C3 pressure switch test. When a shift is commanded and C3 is the offgoing clutch,
the ECU expects the C3 pressure switch to open within a period of time after the shift is commanded. If the ECU
does not see the switch open, it assumes C3 has not released. If conditions for a shift exist, the shift is retried. If the
C3 pressure switch still remains closed, the code is logged and the DO NOT SHIFT response is commanded. If
the code is set during a direction change, neutral with no clutches is commanded, otherwise the transmission is
commanded to the previous range. Additional codes could be logged for other shifts where “X” indicates the range
from and “Y” indicates the range to.

NOTE: C3 tests are turned off below a calibrated temperature of –32ºC (–25˚F).

other codes.

B. Troubleshooting:

1. Use the Pro-Link® diagnostic tool to check the state of the C3 pressure switch.

2. Check the C3 pressure switch wiring for a short-to-ground or a switch stuck closed (refer to code
32 XX). If a short is found, isolate and repair; or replace the switch if it is stuck closed.

3. If a fault is not found with the C3 pressure switch or circuitry, connect a pressure gauge to the C3
pressure tap.

4. Drive the vehicle to make the shift indicated by the subcode or use the DDR clutch test mode.
Compare actual C3 pressure value with the table of specifications in Appendix B.

CODE 52 XX — OFFGOING C3 PRESSURE SWITCH TEST DURING SHIFT

5. If C3 is being held on hydraulically (C3 remains pressurized), drain the fluid, remove the control
module, disassemble and clean the control module, checking for damaged valve body gaskets or
stuck and sticky valves (see the transmission Service Manual).

6. If the problem recurs, use a spare wire, if available, or provide a new wire (St. Clair P/N 200153
may be used for this purpose) for the C3 pressure switch in the external harness. See Appendix E
for connector service information.

7. If the problem again recurs, replace the C solenoid (refer to the transmission Service Manual).

8. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works,
inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent
condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

CODE 53 XX — OFFGOING SPEED TEST (DURING SHIFT)

Main code 53 indicates a failed offgoing speed test. The speed test during a shift is designed to ensure neutral is
attained during shifts to neutral. This test compares engine speed to turbine speed. If neutral is selected and turbine
speed is found to be much lower than engine speed, the ECU sees this as neutral not being attained. The
transmission is commanded to Neutral with No Clutches and code 53 XX is set. Additional codes could be logged
for other shifts where “X” indicates the range from and “Y” indicates the range to.

NOTE: This test is not performed if neutral output is below 200 rpm or when temperatures are below a
calibrated 0˚C (32˚F).

B. Troubleshooting:

1. Be sure the transmission is warm and the fluid level is correct. Correct transmission fluid level as
necessary.

2. Using the DDR, check the engine and turbine speed sensor signals under steady conditions. If a
tachometer is available, compare the tachometer reading with the engine rpm reading on the
diagnostic tool. Check signals in neutral, at idle, high idle, and maximum no load rpm. If a signal
is erratic, check sensor wiring for opens, shorts, and shorts-to-ground (refer to code 22 XX).
Check all connections for dirt and corrosion. If wiring problems are found, repair or replace as
necessary. See Appendix E for connector service information.

3. If fluid and wiring are satisfactory, install a pressure gauge in the pressure tap for the offgoing
clutch. Make the shift indicated by the subcode using the clutch test mode of the Pro-Link®
diagnostic tool. If the pressure gauge shows clutch pressure (above 55 kPa or 8 psi) remains in the
offgoing clutch, drain the fluid and remove the control module (see the transmission Service
Manual). Disassemble and clean the control module and check for damaged valve body gaskets
and stuck or sticky valves, particularly latch valves and solenoid second-stage valves.
4. If excessive clutch pressure is not remaining in the offgoing clutch, replace the engine speed
sensor and the turbine speed sensor (refer to the transmission Service Manual).
5. If the control module is removed to replace the turbine speed sensor (MD, B 300, B 400), clean the
control module and inspect for stuck or sticky valves (particularly the latch valves and solenoid G
second stage valve). Check the rotating clutch drum to which the turbine speed sensor is directed
for damage, contamination, or signs of contact between the drum and the sensor.
6. If the problem recurs, replace the solenoid(s) for the offgoing clutch(es) (refer to the transmission
Service Manual).
7. If the problem again recurs, the offgoing clutch must be held on mechanically (coned, burned,
etc.). Remove the transmission and repair or rebuild as necessary (see the transmission Service
Manual).
8. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works,
inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent
condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

CODE 54 XX — ONCOMING SPEED TEST (AFTER SHIFT)

Main code 54 indicates a failed oncoming ratio test. The ratio test after a shift is failed when the ECU has
commanded the end of a shift and has not seen the transmission shift into the target range (comparing turbine and
output speeds). Erratic readings from speed sensors are a likely cause of an oncoming ratio test failure. If conditions
for a shift still exist, the shift will be retried one more time. If the ratio test is still not met, a code is logged and the
DO NOT SHIFT response is commanded. If the code is set during a direction change, Neutral with No Clutches is
commanded, otherwise the transmission is commanded to the previous range. Code 54 12 can also be caused by the
ECU being calibrated for a close ratio transmission and installed with a wide ratio transmission, or vice versa.
Additional codes could be logged for other shifts where “X” indicates the range from and “Y” indicates the range to.
NOTE: This test is not performed below a calibrated transmission output speed of 200 rpm.

CODE 54 XX — ONCOMING SPEED TEST (AFTER SHIFT)

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:


• Power down
• Manual

NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6. Also, check battery and ECU input voltages.

NOTE: Intermittent connections or lack of battery-direct power and ground connections may cause this and
other codes.

B. Troubleshooting:
1. After the transmission is at operating temperature, allow the vehicle to idle on level ground for
3–4 minutes. Check transmission fluid level. If improper fluid level is found, correct as necessary.
Improper fluid level could be the cause of the code (not enough or too much fluid may produce
inadequate clutch pressure).
2. Connect a pressure gauge and check main pressure. If pressure is not adequate, the pump is
possibly worn. See Appendix B for main pressure specifications.
3. If the fluid level is correct, check the turbine and output speed sensors for accurate, steady signals
using the diagnostic tool (check with vehicle stopped and in range to confirm a zero speed reading
from the turbine and output speed sensors). Check the wiring for opens and shorts (refer to code
22 XX) and the sensor coils for proper resistance. If problems are found, repair or replace as
necessary. Remove speed sensor and check for loose tone wheel.
4. If sensor and wiring resistance are acceptable, connect a pressure gauge(s) to the pressure tap for
the oncoming clutches indicated by the subcode (refer to solenoid and clutch chart in Appendix C).
Make the shift indicated by the code by operating the vehicle or by using the diagnostic tool’s
clutch test mode.
5. If the clutch pressure does not show on the gauge(s), the control module is probably not
commanding the clutch on. Drain the fluid and remove the control module (see the transmission
Service Manual). Disassemble and clean the control module, inspect for stuck or sticking valves.
6. Internal leakage is indicated by the clutch pressure gauge showing that pressure is being sent to the
clutch but the clutch fails to hold. The fault may be: missing or damaged face seals, burnt clutch,
leaking piston sealrings, or damaged control module gaskets. Drain the fluid, remove the control
module (refer to the transmission Service Manual), and inspect the face seals and control module
gaskets. If the seals and gaskets are satisfactory, replace the solenoid(s) indicated by the code. If
replacing the solenoid does not eliminate the code, remove the transmission and repair as
necessary.
7. If clutch pressures are correct and the clutch appears to be holding, replace the output and turbine
speed sensors (refer to the transmission Service Manual for the proper procedure).
8. If the problem recurs, use the diagnostic tool to check the speed sensor signals for erratic readings.
Possible causes of erratic speed readings are: loose sensors, intermittent contact in the wiring,
vehicle-induced vibrations, or speed sensor wiring that is not a properly twisted-pair. If necessary,
use a twisted-pair for a new speed sensor circuit — Service Harness Twisted Pair P/N 200153 is
available from St. Clair Technologies for this purpose.
9. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works,
inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent
condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

CODE 55 XX — ONCOMING C3 PRESSURE SWITCH (AFTER SHIFT)

Main code 55 indicates the C3 clutch is the oncoming clutch in a shift and the C3 pressure switch did not close at
the end of the shift. When this code is set, the DO NOT SHIFT response and Neutral with No Clutches is
commanded. On the N1 to R shift the transmission is commanded to the previous range. Additional codes could be
logged for other shifts where “X” indicates the range from and “Y” indicates the range to.

NOTE: When an ECU with a version 8 or 8A calibration is used with a pre-TransID transmission, 55 XX
codes are set because the ECU sees wire 195 is open. To correct this condition, convert to a TID 1
internal harness or install Adapter P/N 200100 available from St. Clair Technologies.

Further TransID (TID) information is in Paragraph 1–10.

*NOTE: When sump temperature is below 10˚C (50˚F), and transmission fluid is C4 (not DEXRON®), follow
this procedure when making directional change shifts:

• To shift from forward to reverse; select N (Neutral) and then R (Reverse).

• Failure to follow this procedure may cause illumination of the CHECK TRANS light and then
transmission operation will be restricted to N (Neutral).

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:


• Power down
• Manual — subcode 87 only

NOTE: Intermittent connections or lack of battery-direct power and ground connections may cause this and
other codes.

NOTE: Check battery and ECU input voltages before troubleshooting.

B. Troubleshooting:

NOTE: Do not bring the transmission to operating temperature if the problem occurs at sump temperatures
below that level. Do troubleshooting at the temperature level where the problem occurs.

1. After the transmission is at operating temperature, allow vehicle engine to idle on level ground for
3–4 minutes. Check transmission fluid level. If improper fluid level is found, correct as necessary.
Improper fluid level could be the cause of the code (not enough or too much fluid may produce
inadequate clutch pressure).
2. Connect a pressure gauge and check main pressure. If pressure is not adequate, the pump is
possibly worn. See Appendix B for main pressure specifications.

TM 9-2320-312-24-3
CODE 55 XX — ONCOMING C3 PRESSURE SWITCH (AFTER SHIFT)

3. If fluid level and main pressure are adequate, connect a pressure gauge to the C3 pressure tap on
the transmission and make the shift indicated by operating the vehicle using the Pro-Link®
diagnostic tool’s CLUTCH TEST MODE.

NOTE: When using the CLUTCH TEST MODE on the Pro-Link®, be sure to use the correct pressure
specification. If testing is done with the vehicle stopped, the lockup clutch is not applied, so
use the clutch pressure specification for converter operation (see Appendix B; pressure in 3C
would be the same as in 2C). If testing is done with the vehicle moving, the lockup clutch may
be applied depending upon the vehicle speed and throttle position. Be sure to use the clutch
pressure specification for lockup operation (see Appendix B).

4. If, when making the shift and producing the code, the C3 clutch does not show any pressure, drain
the fluid and remove the control module (refer to the transmission Service Manual). Disassemble,
clean, and inspect the control module for stuck or sticky valves (particularly the “C” solenoid
second stage valve and C-1 latch valve). If no obvious problems are found, replace the “C” solenoid
and reassemble (see Figure 6–1 for location of the “C” solenoid).
5. If the gauge shows inadequate pressure being sent to the clutch, the clutch is probably worn, has
leaking piston or face seals, or the control module gaskets are damaged. See Appendix B for clutch
pressure specification. Drain the fluid, remove the control module and inspect the face seals and
valve body gaskets. If the face seals or control module gaskets are not damaged, remove and repair
the transmission (refer to the transmission Service Manual for repair procedure).
6. If the gauge shows adequate clutch apply pressure, the problem is with the C3 pressure switch or
its wires. Check the C3 pressure switch wires in the transmission harness for opens, shorts, or
shorts-to-ground (see code 32 XX). If found, isolate and repair the C3 pressure switch circuit.
See Appendix E for connector service information.

NOTE: A leakage problem may be temperature related. Be sure to check pressures at the sump temperature
where the problem occurred.

7. If the problem is not in the transmission harness, drain the fluid and remove the control module.
Check the feedthrough harness assembly for opens. If wiring problems are found, repair as
necessary (refer to Appendix E). If no wiring problems are found, replace the C3 pressure switch
(see Figure 6–1 for the location). Refer to the transmission Service Manual for proper procedure.
8. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works,
inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent
condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

CODE 56 XX — RANGE VERIFICATION RATIO TEST (BETWEEN SHIFTS)

Main code 56 indicates a failed range verification speed sensor ratio test. The ratio test occurs after a shift and
determines if a clutch has lost torque carrying capability. If output speed is above programmed output speed for a
range but the correct speed sensor ratio is not present, the DO NOT SHIFT response is commanded and a range
which can carry the torque without damage is commanded or attempted. Turbine and output speed sensor readings
are used to calculate the actual ratio that is compared to the commanded ratio. Main code 56 can also be caused
by the ECU being calibrated for a close ratio transmission and installed with a wide ratio transmission, or
vice versa.

• Manual — subcodes 11, 44, 66, 77 only

NOTE: When a code 22 16 (output speed fault) is also present, follow the troubleshooting sequence for code
22 16 first. After completing the 22 16 sequence, drive the vehicle to see if a code 56 XX recurs.

NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6. Also, check battery and ECU input voltages.

NOTE: Intermittent connections or lack of battery-direct power and ground connections may cause this and
other codes.

B. Troubleshooting:

1. After the transmission is at operating temperature, allow vehicle engine to idle on level ground for
3–4 minutes. Check the transmission fluid level. If improper fluid level is found, correct as
necessary. Improper fluid level could be the cause of the code. Not enough or too much fluid may
produce inadequate clutch pressure.

2. Connect a pressure gauge and check main pressure. If the pressure is not adequate, the pump is
probably worn. See Appendix B for main pressure specifications.

3. If main pressure is adequate, check clutch pressure for the range indicated by following the
procedure in Appendix B. The transmission range indicated by the trouble code can be found by
referring to the solenoid and clutch chart in Appendix C. Drive the vehicle or use the diagnostic
tool’s clutch test mode and check clutch pressure.

4. If a clutch is leaking pressure, drain the fluid, remove the control module and check for damaged
control module gaskets and stuck or sticking valves (see the transmission Service Manual). Also
look for damaged or missing face seals. If no problems are found, replace the solenoids for the
clutches used in the range indicated by the code.

TM 9-2320-312-24-3
CODE 56 XX — RANGE VERIFICATION RATIO TEST (BETWEEN SHIFTS)

5. If replacing solenoids does not correct the pressure problem, a worn clutch or worn piston seals are
probably the source of the pressure leak. Remove the transmission and repair or replace as
necessary (refer to the transmission Service Manual).
6. This code requires accurate output and turbine speed readings. If there were no transmission prob-
lems detected, use the diagnostic tool and check the speed sensor signals for noise (erratic signals)
from low speed to high speed in the range indicated by the code.
7. If a noisy sensor is found, check the resistance of the sensor (300 ± 30 Ohms, refer to the code
22 XX temperature variation chart) and its wiring for opens, shorts, and shorts-to-ground (refer to
code 22 XX). Carefully check the terminals in the connectors for corrosion, contamination, or
damage. Ensure the wiring to the sensors is a properly twisted wire pair. Replace a speed sensor if
its resistance is incorrect. Isolate and repair any wiring problems. (Use a twisted-pair if a new
speed sensor circuit is needed — Service Harness Twisted Pair P/N 200153 is available from
St. Clair Technologies for this purpose.)
8. If no apparent cause for the code can be found, replace the turbine and output speed sensors (refer
to the transmission Service Manual for proper procedure).
9. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works, in-
spect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent condition.
If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6. Also, check battery and ECU input voltages.
NOTE: Intermittent connections or lack of battery-direct power and ground connections may cause this and
other codes.
B. Troubleshooting:
1. Disconnect the harness from the transmission. Check the C3 pressure switch circuit at the
feedthrough harness connector for continuity (refer to code 32 XX).
2. Continuity at the feedthrough harness connector indicates the C3 pressure switch is closed or the
C3 circuit is shorted together. Drain the fluid, remove the control module (refer to the transmission
Service Manual), and isolate the short. The fault is either a shorted feedthrough harness or stuck
C3 pressure switch. Repair or replace as necessary.
3. If there is no continuity at the transmission, disconnect the transmission harness connector from
the ECU and check the C3 pressure switch wires in the transmission harness for shorts. Use the
system wiring diagram to identify wires which are connected. If a shorted C3 pressure switch cir-
cuit in the external harness is found, isolate and repair.
4. If the C3 pressure switch or circuit is not shorted either in the transmission or the external harness,
connect a pressure gauge in the C3 pressure tap (refer to Appendix B for pressure tap location).
Drive the vehicle in the range indicated by the code or use the diagnostic tool’s clutch test mode to
attain that range.
5. If the gauge shows C3 pressure is present in the range indicated by the subcode, drain the fluid and
remove the control module (refer to the transmission Service Manual). Check for damaged valve
body gaskets or stuck or sticking valves. Repair or replace as necessary. If no obvious defects are
found, replace the listed solenoid.
6. If the gauge shows C3 pressure is not present in the range indicated by the subcode, drain the fluid and
remove the control module (refer to the transmission Service Manual). Replace the C3 pressure switch.
7. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works, in-
spect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent condition.
If the original problem reoccurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

CODE 61 XX — RETARDER OIL TEMPERATURE HOT

Main code 61 indicates the ECU has detected a hot fluid condition in the output retarder. Table 6–7 shows what
actions are taken by the ECU at elevated retarder temperatures.
Possible causes (but not all causes) for hot fluid are:
1. Prolonged retarder use.
2. TID 2 transmission with ECU prior to Version 8A.
3. Low fluid level.
4. High fluid level.
5. A retarder apply system that allows the throttle and retarder to be applied simultaneously.
6. Cooler inadequately sized for retarder.
If the validity of the hot fluid diagnosis is in question, temperature can be checked by using a temperature gauge at the
retarder-out port or by reading retarder temperature with the Pro-Link® diagnostic tool. Another method of checking
retarder temperature is to remove the “T” connector at the ECU and measure resistance (Ohms) between terminals T28
and T25. Compare the resistance value to the value in Figure 6–21 to see if the result is within the expected operating
range. For TID 2 thermistors, see Appendix Q for resistance versus temperature table.

CODE 62 XX — RETARDER TEMPERATURE SENSOR (Figure 6–22)

NOTE: When an ECU with a version 8 calibration is used with a TransID 2 transmission, 62 XX codes are set
because the ECU does not have the proper calibrations for the TID 2 thermistors. The ECU calibration
must be updated to version 8A.

TransID (TID) information related to thermistor changes is in Paragraph 1–10 and detailed troubleshooting
information for TID 2 thermistors is shown in Appendix Q.

Main code 62 indicates the retarder temperature sensor or engine coolant sensor or circuitry is providing a signal
outside the usable range of the ECU. Main code 62 can be the result of a hardware failure or an actual extremely
high or low temperature condition.

Main
Code Subcode Meaning
62 12 Retarder temperature sensor failed low (–45˚C; –49˚F)
62 23 Retarder temperature sensor failed high (178˚C; 352˚F)
62 32 Engine coolant sensor failed low
62 33 Engine coolant sensor failed high

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:


• Power down
• Manual
• Self-clearing

NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6. Also, check the transmission fluid level.

B. Troubleshooting:

NOTE: A combination of codes 62 23, 33 23, and 21 23 indicates a problem with one of the branches of the
common ground wire (wire 135) between the throttle and temperature sensors.

NOTE: Code 62 12 can be caused when the +5V power line (wire 124) is shorted to ground or open. Wire 124
also provides power for the OLS, TPS, RMR, sump temperature sensor, and shift selectors and is
present in all three ECU connectors.

1. Check the retarder temperature or engine coolant temperature with a DDR. If a DDR is not
available, use the shift selector display to determine if the code is active (cycle the ignition on and
off at least once since the code was logged to clear the code’s active indicator). If a condition that
is unreasonable for the current conditions exists, go to Step (3).

2. If Step (1) reveals that the extreme temperature indication is no longer present, the temperature
limit could have been reached due to operational or ambient temperature extremes. Proceed
cautiously as it is unlikely there is a sensor hardware fault.

3. Remove the connector at the ECU. Measure resistance between harness terminals T25 and T28 or
between harness terminals V9 and V24. Compare resistance value to chart (see Figure 6–21) to see
if reading is within expected operating range.

4. Disconnect the sensor connector and remove the connector at the ECU. Check the sensor and the
ECU terminals for dirt, corrosion, and damage. Clean or replace as necessary (refer to Appendix E).

TM 9-2320-312-24-3
CODE 62 XX — RETARDER TEMPERATURE SENSOR (Figure 6–22)

5. Check the temperature sensor circuit for opens (code 62 23 or 62 33), shorts between wires, and
short-to-ground (code 62 12 or 62 32). If a wiring problem is found, isolate and repair. See
Appendix E for connector service information.

6. If no wiring problem is found, replace the retarder or engine coolant temperature sensor (refer to
transmission or vehicle Service Manual for proper procedure).

7. If the problem recurs, use a spare wire, if available, or provide a new wire (St. Clair P/N 200153
may be used for this purpose) for the retarder or engine coolant temperature circuit. See
Appendix E for connector service information.

8. If the condition continues to recur, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem,
reinstall the original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now
works, inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent
condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

CODE 63 XX — INPUT FUNCTION FAULT

Code 63 00 is set when one of the two inputs for an input function Auxiliary Function Range Inhibit (Special) is in
a different state (on or off) from the other input for longer than two minutes. When this condition is detected, code
63 00 is set. The transmission will not be inhibited in shifting from neutral to range.

Main
Code Subcode Meaning
63 00 Auxiliary Function Range Inhibit (Special) inputs states are different
63 26 Kickdown input failed on (software version 8 only)
63 40 Service brake status failed on
63 41 Pump/pack and a neutral general purpose input
Subcode 26 is set when this function (Kickdown) is selected by calibration, the calibration designated input is active
for a calibration time, and throttle position is less than the calibration value defined. The kickdown shift schedule is
inhibited when subcode 26 is active. The service indicator will be turned on if it is selected by the calibration. The
kickdown shift schedule is not inhibited, the code is cleared and the service indicator will be turned off if the
kickdown input remains inactive for the calibration time period while throttle position is less than the calibration
value. This diagnostic and code has been removed from software version 8A.
Subcode 40 is set when this function (Service Brake Status) is selected by calibration, and the specified input
remains active for a calibration number of consecutive acceleration events. The service indicator will be turned on
if it is selected by the calibration. A vehicle acceleration event is defined as an increase in transmission output
speed from 1 rpm to a calibration value. The operation of the Automatic Neutral For Refuse Packer will be limited
when this code is active. The active inhibit for this code is self-cleared and the service indicator will be turned off if
the designated input for the Service Brake Status function becomes inactive.
Subcode 41 is set when the states of the calibration inputs are different for a calibration number of consecutive
updates. The inputs in this case are Pump/Pack Enable and Automatic Neutral For Refuse Packer. The service
display will also be turned ON if selected by calibration.
A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:
• Power down
• Manual — subcodes 26, 40, and 41
• Self-clearing — subcodes 26 and 40
B. Troubleshooting:
1. Code 63 00
a. Use the DDR to identify the two input wires programmed with Auxiliary Function Range
Inhibit (Special). Inspect the input wiring, connectors, and switches to determine why the input
states are different. Correct any problems which are found.
b. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall
the original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now
works, inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermit-
tent condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.
2. Code 63 26
Inspect kickdown switch circuit.
3. Code 63 40
Inspect service brake status switch circuit.
4. Use the DDR to identify the two wires associated with the input functions for Pump/Pack Enable
and Automatic Neutral For Refuse Packer. Inspect the input wiring, connectors, and switches to
determine why the input states are different. Correct problems which are found. There is further in-
formation on these input functions on pages P–25, P–26, P–29, and P–30.

TM 9-2320-312-24-3
CODE 64 XX — RETARDER MODULATION REQUEST DEVICE FAULT (Figure 6–23)

Main code 64 indicates the ECU has detected a voltage signal from the retarder modulation request sensor
(consisting of a module and a retarder control device) in either the high or low error zone. These codes can be
caused by faulty wiring, faulty connections to the resistance module or retarder control device, a faulty resistance
module, a faulty retarder control device, or a faulty ECU. Power wire 124 and ground wire 135 for the retarder
modulation request sensor are a common power and ground with the TPS and OLS devices. A short-to-ground on
the common power wire causes a “sensor failed low” code for the other devices (codes 21 12, and 14 12). An open
or a short-to-ground on retarder modulation request sensor signal wire 164 results in a code 64 12 only.
A TPS failure changes the status of the output retarder. The retarder is enabled by the Service Brake Status
(wire 137) when a TPS code is active (21 XX). If a code 63 40 is also active, the Service Brake Status (wire 137)
is ignored and the retarder will not work. Retarder response problems may not cause retarder modulation request
sensor diagnostic codes. If response questions occur, test the retarder control devices for proper voltage signals at
each of the percentage of retarder application settings. Table 6–8 contains the voltage measurements for each
device’s application percentage and resistances measured across terminals A and C of the retarder request sensor.
Use test wiring harness J 41339 when conducting voltage tests.

Main
Code Subcode Meaning
64 12 Retarder Modulation Request sensor failed Low (14 counts and below)
64 23 Retarder Modulation Request sensor failed High (232 counts and above)

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:


• Power down

NOTE: Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 6–6. Also, check battery and ECU input voltages.
NOTE: Intermittent connections or lack of battery-direct power and ground connections can cause this and
other electronic control codes.

B. Troubleshooting:

NOTE: Code 64 12 can be caused when the +5V power line (wire 124) is shorted to ground or open. Wire 124
also provides power for the OLS, TPS, sump temperature sensor, retarder temperature sensor, and
shift selectors and is present in all three ECU connectors..

1. Plug in the DDR and set to read retarder counts and percent (0 percent will be between 15 and 60
counts and 100 percent will be between 150 and 233 counts). A retarder request sensor failed high
code can be caused by a short-to-battery of either signal wire 164 or power wire 124 or an open on
ground wire 135. An open in the portion of the ground circuit common to the TPS and OLS devices
will also result in a code 21 23 and a high fluid level reading. A retarder request sensor failed low
code can be caused by an open or short-to-ground on either signal wire 164 or power wire 124.
2. Isolate and repair any wiring problems found. See Appendix E for connector service information.
3. If no wiring or connector problems are found, check the retarder request sensor voltages for each
position on each of the retarder request sensors used on the vehicle. If two resistance modules are
used, disconnect one of them when measuring voltage signals from the other. If problems are
found, replace the resistance modules or retarder control devices.
4. If the problem persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works, in-
spect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent condition.
If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

CODE 65 XX — ENGINE RATING HIGH

Main code 65 indicates the vehicle’s engine horsepower/governor speed rating is too high. This code is set only
when computer-controlled engines are used. Code 65 means the engine computer is able to tell the transmission,
the engine horsepower and/or governor speed is beyond the transmission rating or does not match the transmission
shift calibration.

When a code 65 is set, no shifts out of neutral are allowed. It is possible the transmission calibration selected for
this engine is improper. Contact local Allison Transmission Division distributor for assistance in selecting a proper
calibration.

If the engine is beyond transmission ratings, contact the vehicle OEM for correction. The local ATD regional
representative may also be contacted for assistance.

This code cannot be cleared until the proper level engine is installed or the transmission is properly calibrated.

The datalink for throttle sensor or engine coolant temperature must have been recognized by autodetect or
manually selected using the Pro-Link® (see WTEC III Pro-Link® Manual) before these codes can be logged. See
Paragraph 1–9 for further information.

Main code 66 indicates the ECU is expecting to get its throttle position signal or engine coolant signal across a
serial communication interface from a computer-controlled engine. Either the engine computer is not sending the
throttle or engine coolant information or the wiring between the engine and transmission computers has failed.

Code 66 00 can occur when the transmission ECU remains powered when the engine ECM is powered down.
The transmission sees this as a communication link failure.

Main
Code Subcode Meaning
66 00 SCI (Serial Communication Interface) fault
66 11 SCI Engine coolant source fault

A. Active Indicator Clearing Procedure:


• Power down
• Manual
• Self-clearing

B. Troubleshooting:
1. Check for a throttle signal or engine coolant signal from the engine to the transmission, an engine
computer malfunction, an engine throttle fault, or an engine coolant fault.

NOTE: Throttle position data sent from a computer-controlled engine may register a low number of counts on
the DDR, but the counts will not change as throttle percentage is changed.

2. Check wires 142 and 151 between the engine and transmission ECU for an open or short. Check
that all connectors are clean and tightly connected.

NOTE: These codes can also be set if J1939 communications fail. Check wires 183-S13, 184-S29, and
182-S12 for opens or shorts.

3. Use the Pro-Link® to see if the ECU is receiving power when it should not.

SECTION 7 — INPUT AND OUTPUT FUNCTIONS

7–1. INPUT FUNCTIONS


Input functions are signals sent into the ECU that prompt the ECU to take action. Input functions are activated and
deactivated by switched ignition power or ground (wire 161B) to the ECU (wired through the VIW), or through the
MODE button on the shift selector. The following input functions can be activated using the MODE button:

• Secondary Shift Schedule


• D1 Selection (Available With Pushbutton Selector Only)
• PTO Enable

The wiring schematic in Appendix J illustrates installation requirements for input functions and designates specific
wire numbers in the transmission control system to be used for the activation of these input functions. The wiring
schematic in Appendix J should be used for reference only. Ask the vehicle manufacturer which input functions are
programmed, which wires are used, and whether voltage input was positive or ground. Wiring schematics for input
and output functions are shown in Appendix P. The Pro-Link® 9000 can also be utilized to determine which wire
was programmed for a particular input function and the wiring schematic can be consulted to find out if input to the
ECU is + or – voltage. Refer to the Pro-Link® 9000 diagnostic tool operator’s manual for further information
regarding special input functions and other inhibits.

NOTE: The schematic in Appendix J shows the intended use of the control features specified. These features
have only been validated in the configuration shown. ANY USE OF THESE FEATURES WHICH
DIFFERS FROM WHAT IS SHOWN IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALLISON
TRANSMISSION.

Never use chassis ground as an INPUT FUNCTION ground. Chassis ground can carry
voltage potential of 1 or 2 volts above battery ground. This non-approved input will
CAUTION:
“confuse” the ECU and cause erroneous input results. Be sure to use wire 161 which is
signal ground.

Activating an input function can inhibit transmission operation in the same manner as diagnostic code. Use the
Pro-Link® 9000 to verify an active input function or a diagnostic code inhibit. Refer to the Pro-Link® 9000
Diagnostic Tool Operator’s Manual for further information regarding special input functions and other inhibits.
Also, for more detailed information on input functions, refer to the Sales Tech Data Book “WTEC III Controls and
General Information.”

The maximum number of input and output functions which may be used in any installation depends upon the
transmission model and its features. Refer to Table 7–1.

INPUT AND OUTPUT FUNCTIONS

The following input functions inhibit direction change shifts (forward to reverse or reverse to forward):
• Auxiliary Function Range Inhibit (standard)
• Auxiliary Function Range Inhibit (special)
• Quick to Neutral, Pump Option
• Automatic Neutral for PTO
• Automatic Neutral at Stop
• Reverse Enable
• Automatic Neutral for Refuse Packers
• Automatic Neutral for Refuse Packers with Service Brake Input

The following input functions lock the transmission in fourth range:


• Fire Truck Pump Mode
• Fourth Lockup Pump Mode

The following input functions preselect a lower range:


• Engine Brake and Preselect Request (standard)
• Engine Brake and Preselect Request (special)

The following input functions inhibit upshifts:


• D1 Selection
• Auxiliary Hold

The following input functions inhibit lockup shifts:


• Manual Lockup
• Anti-lock Brake Response

The following input function inhibits range and lockup shifts at high horsepower:
• Shift Enable/Shift in Process (Oil Field Application)

The following functions are general restrictions to normal operation:


• High Input Speed causes neutral to range inhibit
• Medium Cold Oil causes operation confined to R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and 2nd range start
• Hot Oil restricts operation to 4th range maximum (except emergency applications)
• Two Speed Axle Enable permits change only at low output speed and throttle
• Special Pattern Logic monitors N or D or N to R shifts. If engine throttle or output speed is too high, the
transmission remains in N.
• Wheel Lock disengages the lockup clutch and inhibits forward range downshifts and shifts to reverse
• Anti-lock Brake Response deactivates the retarder and disengages the lockup clutch
• High Throttle during N (Neutral) to any range shift causes a revised clutch pressure apply rate and turns
off shift adaptive
• Power loss to the ECU restricts operation to certain ranges (for exact range see code 13 XX in Section 6)

The following input function limits operation to 1st Range and N (Neutral):
• Refuse Vehicle Step Switch

TM 9-2320-312-24-3
INPUT AND OUTPUT FUNCTIONS

7–2. OUTPUT FUNCTIONS


Output functions are signals sent out by the ECU that activate or control devices or mechanisms. These control
devices or mechanisms are controlled by relays or direct connection signals from the ECU.

Many input and output functions are closely related. For instance, the PTO Enable option (input function) also
includes PTO Output wiring information. When searching for output function information, be sure to check any
related input function information references.

The wiring schematics in Appendix J and Appendix P illustrate installation requirements for output functions as
well as input functions and designate specific wire numbers in the transmission control system to be used for the
activation of these output functions. The wiring schematics in Appendix J should be used for reference only. Ask
the vehicle manufacturer which specific output functions are programmed and which wires are used. Output
function polarity is not significant when an Allison-supplied VIM is used. The Pro-Link® 9000 can also be utilized
to determine which wire was programmed for a particular output function. For more detailed information on output
functions, refer to the Sales Tech Data Book “WTEC III Controls and General Information” (the schematics in
Appendix P are from the Sales Tech Data Book).

APPENDIX A — IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL CIRCUIT PROBLEMS

Intermittent codes are a result of faults that are detected, logged, and then disappear, only to recur later. If, when
troubleshooting, a code 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 ECU diagnostic checks
which can set various codes depending upon where the ECU 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 move-
ment.
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 code 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 (ECU, shift selector, 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 codes is good parts in an abnormal environment. The abnormal environment
will usually include excessive heat, moisture, or voltage. For example, an ECU that receives excessive
voltage will generate a diagnostic code as it senses high voltage in a circuit. The code may not be repeated
consistently because different circuits may have this condition on each check. The last step in finding an
intermittent code is to observe if the code is set during sudden changes in the operating environment.

Troubleshooting an intermittent code requires looking for common conditions that are present whenever
the code is diagnosed.

• 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 code, it is easier to find the cause. If the time between code
occurrences is very short, troubleshooting is easier than if it is several weeks or more between code
occurrences.

APPENDIX B — CHECKING CLUTCH AND RETARDER PRESSURES

Checking individual clutch 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. These instructions are
for all WT Series transmissions.

NOTE: Check to see if there are diagnostic codes set which are related to the transmission difficulty you are
evaluating. Proceed to make mechanical preparations for checking clutch pressures after codes have
first been evaluated.

A. Transmission and Vehicle Preparation


1. Remove the plugs from the pressure tap locations where measurement is desired (refer to
Figure B–1).

Figure B–1. Clutch Pressure Check Points

Be sure that the hydraulic fittings have the same thread as the plugs removed
CAUTION: (7/16-20 UNF-2A). Also please note that these fittings must be straight thread,
O-ring style. Failure to do this will result in damage to the control module.

2. Install hydraulic fittings suitable for attaching pressure gauges or transducers.


3. Connect pressure gauges or transducers. Pressure gauge set J 26417-A is available for this
purpose. See Table B–2 for pressure levels expected.
4. Check that engine speed can be monitored (Pro-Link® 9000 diagnostic tool may be used for this
purpose).

APPENDIX B — CHECKING CLUTCH AND RETARDER PRESSURES

5. Be sure that transmission sump fluid temperature can be measured (Pro-Link® 9000 diagnostic
tool may be used for this purpose).
6. Be sure that the transmission has enough fluid for cold operation until an operating temperature
fluid level can be set.
7. Bring the transmission to normal operating temperature of 71–93ºC (160–200ºF). Check for fluid
leaks in the added pressure gauge/transducer lines. Repair leaks as needed. Be sure that fluid level
is correct.

B. Recording Data
1. Use the Pro-Link® 9000 diagnostic tool, which allows checking of individual range clutch pres-
sures, with the vehicle stationary. Consult Appendix N or the Pro-Link® 9000 operating instruc-
tions for Action Request and select Clutch Test Mode. Follow instructions to check clutch pres-
sures in individual ranges.

NOTE: Check lockup clutch pressure by driving the vehicle in a range where lockup can be obtained. Record
the pressure values at the engine speed and sump fluid temperature values shown in Table B–1. The
lockup clutch is functioning correctly when engine speed and turbine speed values are equal as
recorded from the Pro-Link® 9000.

2. Consult Table B–1 and locate the transmission model that you are testing.
3. Operate the transmission at the conditions shown in Table B–1 and record engine speed, transmis-
sion sump fluid temperature, main hydraulic pressure, and clutch pressures in the ranges where a
problem is suspected.

C. Comparing Recorded Data to Specifications


1. Be sure that engine speed and transmission sump fluid temperatures were within the values
specified in Table B–1.
2. Compare the main pressure and clutch pressure data, recorded in Step B, with the specifications in
Table B–2.
3. If clutch pressures are within specifications, return the transmission and vehicle to their original
configuration and proceed with electrical troubleshooting.
4. If clutch pressures are not within specification, take corrective action to replace the internal parts
of the transmission necessary to correct the problem. (Refer to the Transmission Service Manual
for the model being checked.)
5. Recheck pressure values after the transmission has been repaired.
6. Return the transmission to its original configuration. (Remove instrumentation and reinstall any
components removed for the pressure testing.)

X Indicates solenoid is electrically ON.
Y Indicates clutch is hydraulically applied.
Blank Indicates solenoid is electrically OFF or clutch is not hydraulically applied.
0 Optional ON or OFF.
* See NVL explanation below.
NVL As a diagnostic response:
If Turbine Speed is below 150 rpm when Output Speed is below 100 rpm and Engine Speed is
above 400 rpm, Neutral Very Low (NVL) is commanded when N1 (Neutral) is the selected
range. NVL is achieved by turning D solenoid “on” in addition to E solenoid being “on,” which
locks the output. Otherwise, D solenoid is turned off in N1 (Neutral).
As a commanded range when shifting to Fire Truck Pump Mode:
While wire 118 is energized before wire 117 is energized when going into Fire Truck Pump
Mode, Neutral Very Low (NVL) will be commanded to lock the output to assist the shifting of
the split-shaft PTO transfer case from road mode to pump mode. While wire 118 is de-energized
before wire 117 is de-energized when shifting out of Fire Truck Pump Mode, Neutral Very Low
(NVL) will be commanded to lock the output to assist the shifting of the split-shaft PTO transfer
case from pump mode to road mode.

B. Terminal Removal
1. ECU Harness Connectors (Figure E–1A)

The color-code of the strain relief should match the color-code of the retainer. However, cases
have been reported where this has not occurred. The retainer color-code and key configuration
ensures that the proper wiring harness connector is in the right socket of the ECU. The color-
CAUTION: code of the the strain relief is of secondary importance and may not agree with the retainer.
Change the strain relief to match the color-code of the retainer (Figure E–1A) when color-code
mismatch is found.

a. Use a small-bladed screwdriver to gently release the locktabs at the splitline of the strain relief.
b. Spread the strain relief open.
c. Remove the retainer from the connector by using a small-bladed screwdriver to depress the
locktabs on the side of the connector.

APPENDIX E — CONNECTOR PART NUMBERS, TERMINAL PART
NUMBERS, TOOL PART NUMBERS, AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
B. Terminal Removal (cont’d)
3. Pull 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 terminal is to be replaced, cut the terminal between the core and insulation crimp to minimize
wire loss.

C. Terminal Crimping — VIM And 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 insulation 4.5 mm ± 0.5 mm (0.18 ± 0.02 inch). Unless insulation crimp is over-
tight, Automatic Wire Stripper J 35615 will remove insulation and crimp from old terminal with-
out damaging wire.
3. Place core crimp portion of terminal on bed of anvil “E” and squeeze crimper enough to keep
terminal from dropping (Figure E–2, View B).
4. Position wire core in terminal and squeeze crimper tool to complete the core crimp. Be sure to ori-
ent 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).
5. Position insulation crimp of 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 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 remover tool in front side of connector to release locktab and push terminal out 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.)
6. Squeeze the crimper fully until it opens when released.

B. Terminal Removal

NOTE: Do not solder crimps.

1. Remove the secondary lock.


2. Insert 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 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.
5. If terminal is to be replaced, cut the terminal between the core and insulation crimp to minimize
wire loss.

C. Terminal Crimping
1. Carefully strip insulation 4.5 mm ± 0.5 mm (0.18 ± 0.02 inch). Unless insulation crimp is over-
tight, Automatic Wire Stripper J 35615 will remove insulation and crimp from old terminal with-
out damaging wire.
2. Place core crimp portion of terminal on bed of anvil “E” and squeeze crimper enough to keep
terminal from dropping (Figure E–3, View B).
3. Position wire core in terminal and squeeze crimper tool to complete the core crimp. Be sure to ori-
ent 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 (cont’d)
4. Position insulation crimp of 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.
5. Be sure lock tang is lifted to allow proper reseating of the terminal.
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 remover tool in front side of connector to release locktab and pull terminal out rear
of 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 termi-
nal. 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.
8. Be sure lock tang is lifted to allow proper reseating of the terminal.
9. Push on the wire until the terminal is completely into the cavity. (A click will be heard and the
terminal should stay in place if the wire is lightly pulled.)

loosening the locking ring until the depth adjusting screw is free and turning the adjusting screw
until the top of the terminal is just above flush with the crimping hole (the crimp jaws will contact
the middle of the terminal barrel). Tighten the lock ring to retain the adjustment.
4. Fully insert the wire into the terminal so that the stripped portion of the wire is in the crimp area.
A small section (0.5–1.0 mm (0.02–0.04 inch)) of wire will be visible above the terminal barrel.
5. Squeeze the crimping tool handle until it releases. The terminal is now crimped onto the wire.
6. Remove the terminal and wire from the crimping tool.
7. Tug on the terminal to ensure the crimp is tight.
8. For the optional DDR connector, apply a 25 mm (one inch) long piece of heat shrink tubing over
the wire insulation just behind the terminal. Apply heat to shrink and lock tubing to the insulation.

D. Terminal Insertion (ECD Bulkhead)

NOTE: If replacing an outside grommet (refer to Figure E–9 showing the ECD bulkhead), ensure the
grommet is correctly installed. Each grommet hole is marked with the terminal ID of the wire that
passes through that hole. The grommet holes match the pattern of either the pins or sockets in the
connector. One side of the grommet is marked “PIN” and the other “SKT” or “SOC”. “PIN” indicates
the pin (receptacle) side of the connector and “SKT” or “SOC” the socket (plug) side. When installing
the outer grommet in the receptacle, ensure “PIN” is showing and positioned so that the “A” terminal
ID on the outer grommet aligns with the “A” terminal ID on the inner grommet. When installing the
outer grommet in the plug, “SKT” or “SOC” must be showing and positioned so that the “A” terminal
ID on the outer grommet aligns with the “A” terminal ID on the inner grommet. Reversing “PIN” and
“SKT” or “SOC” sides of the grommet will cause the grommet holes to be misaligned with the holes
in either the receptacle or plug. Perform Steps (1) and (2) only if the outer grommet has been removed.

1. Place the correct side of the grommet upwards with the inner and outer grommet “A” terminal ID
aligned.
2. Insert two cavity plugs in unused cavities to retain the grommet.

NOTE: When using remover/inserter tool J 41194, take care not to break the tip of the tool. Lay the wire in
the widest part of the wire slot and work toward the tool tip.

3. Place the terminal and wire in the end of extractor/inserter tool J 41194.
4. Insert the tool through the grommet, into the back of the connector, and push until the terminal is
seated. Remove the remover/inserter tool.
5. Insert cavity plugs into all unused cavities.
6. Wrap plastic electrical tape around the wire bundle.
7. Reassemble the connector in the reverse order of disassembly.

E. Terminal Insertion (all connectors except ECD bulkhead)


1. Insert wire with crimped terminal through the proper hole in the grommet.
2. Keep pushing on wire until the terminal “locks” into position.

B. Special Tools
• 50–70 percent tin resin core solder, 18–20 SWG (0.086–1.0 mm (0.036 to 0.040 inch))
• Pen-type soldering iron (60W maximum) — tip no larger than 3.175 mm (0.125 inch)
• Desoldering braid

NOTE: Proper solder, techniques, equipment, and cleanliness are important to achieve a good solder joint.
Clean connector and terminals being soldered of all dirt, grease, and oil. Always heat the piece onto
which solder is to flow. A cold solder joint can cause intermittent continuity problems. Avoid a cold
joint by heating the piece(s) being soldered to melt the solder rather than merely heating the solder
until it melts. Excess solder applied to a stranded wire travels up the wire, stiffening it and making it
inflexible. The wire can break at the point where the solder stops. Do not use acid core solder.

C. Wire Removal — Desoldering


1. Unscrew the connector’s backshell and slide the backshell away from the connector.
2. Slide the grommet away from the connector. Slide the grommet far enough to allow access to the
terminals and wire ends. If the grommet is hard to slide, lubricate the wires with isopropyl alcohol.
If necessary, move some of the harness covering. If no solder is present, proceed as in Section 1–9
for crimped terminals.
3. Place the desoldering braid (wick) on top of the soldered terminal cup and wire. Place the hot sol-
dering iron on the desoldering braid and wait until the solder wicks up the braid, remove the wire.
4. If the other terminal is being repaired, repeat the desoldering operation on that terminal. When
solder is removed, proceed as in Section 1–9 for crimped terminals.

D. Soldering Wire Into Terminal

NOTE: If installing a new connector on a harness, ensure the backshell and grommet are in place before
soldering the wires to the terminals. Clean wires and terminals of dirt or grease.

1. Strip approximately 8 ± 0.8 mm (0.31 ± 0.03 inch) of insulation from the wire.
2. Tin the stripped end of the wire.
3. Insert the wire through the proper hole in the grommet.

NOTE: Lubricate the wire(s) with isopropyl alcohol only if the wire(s) will not slide through the grommet. If
installing a new connector on the harness, be sure the backshell is in place before inserting the wire(s)
through the grommet.

TM 9-2320-312-24-3
APPENDIX E — CONNECTOR PART NUMBERS, TERMINAL PART
NUMBERS, TOOL PART NUMBERS, AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
D. Soldering Wire Into Terminal (cont’d)
4. Mount the connector in a holding fixture at a 45 degree angle. Hold the solder in the terminal cup
and apply heat to the side of the cup until the solder flows.
5. Slowly feed solder into the cup until it is half-full. When the cup is half-full, remove the solder
supply before removing the soldering iron. Half-fill all cup terminals that are to have wires
inserted.

NOTE: Feed solder slowly enough to prevent a flux gas pocket from forming. A gas pocket prevents sufficient
solder from flowing into the cup — a false fill. Correct a false fill by re-heating the cup and adding
solder.

6. Start at the lowest cup and apply heat to the side of the cup until the solder melts.

NOTE: Do not overheat the connector while soldering. If the connector gets too hot, stop work until it cools.

7. Carefully insert the stripped end of the wire into the cup until the wire bottoms in the cup. The
wire’s insulation should be approximately 1.59 mm (0.0625 inch) above the solder.
8. Maintain heat until the solder has flowed in the cup and onto the wire. Overheating can cause the
solder to wick up the stranded wire.

NOTE: Indications of a good solder connection are:

• A minimum amount of solder showing

• Wire strands are clearly outlined in the joint

• The joint is completely covered with solder

• Fillets have a smooth even contour

• Edges are feathered

• The joint is bright, smooth, and appears clean

Too little solder is better than too much. If the solder wicks up the wire, the wire may break at the point
at which the solder stops.

9. After soldering and inspecting all connections, remove flux residue with a contact cleaner.
10. Slide the grommet into place and screw on the backshell.

APPENDIX F — THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT

A. Description of Operation (Figure F–1)


1. To properly communicate throttle position to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), the throttle posi-
tion sensor must convert its mechanical movement to an electrical form the ECU can understand.
To accomplish this, contacts move across a resistive strip inside the sensor which translates posi-
tion into voltage.

THROTTLE POSITION LINKAGE

CONTACTS

RESISTIVE STRIP

V00656.01

Figure F–1. Throttle Position to Voltage Conversion

2. Each position gives a different voltage. The ECU then converts the voltage to counts. Each count
corresponds to approximately 0.179 mm (0.007 inch) of throttle sensor movement. Figure F–2
diagrams the counts and throttle movement relationship.

Adjust so total stroke is within

Figure F–2. Throttle Position Determination Diagram

3. Throttle percentage is proportional to counts; low counts correspond to low percent and high
counts correspond to high percent (Table F–1, Page F–3).
4. The conversion from counts to percent throttle is performed easily once the idle and full throttle
positions are set (see adjustment procedures below). The idle and full throttle positions correspond

Copyright © 1999 General Motors Corp. F–1


TM 9-2320-312-24-3
APPENDIX F — THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT

to counts which can be viewed with a diagnostic tool. The ECU determines percent throttle by the
equation:

Current Count — Idle Count


% Throttle = x 100
Full Throttle Count — Idle Count
Where:
Idle Count = Count on diagnostic tool when engine is idling.
Current Count = Count on diagnostic tool at the present throttle position.
Full Throttle Count = Count on diagnostic tool at wide open throttle.

NOTE: Refer to Appendix N for DDR information.

5. The throttle position sensor is self-calibrating within its normal operating range. Each time the
vehicle is started and the ECU is initialized, the idle counts that are used for closed throttle are
increased by 15 counts from its previous lowest reading. Also, the wide open throttle counts are
reduced by 15 counts from its previous highest reading. Once new counts are read from the
current sensor position, the idle and wide open throttle count set points are continually
readjusted to the lowest and highest counts, respectively. This compensates for fuel control system
wear or previous mechanical adjustment. One area of particular concern is when the throttle sensor
extends into the error zone. This indicates a TPS misadjustment to the ECU and 100 percent throttle
is assumed until readjustment is performed. Simply clearing the code 21 XX will not resolve the 100
percent (WOT) shifting situation.

NOTE: After replacing or adjusting the throttle position sensor linkage, the technician should use the
diagnostic tool to clear the throttle calibration. Go to the DDR selection menu and locate ACTION
REQUESTS. Select RESET THROTTLE CALIBRATION and ENTER to set the 0 percent throttle
counts. After the idle counts are established, the throttle should be moved to the Full position to
establish the full or Wide Open Throttle (WOT) position (100 percent). The full throttle counts will be
the same as the idle counts until the throttle is moved. The full throttle counts are set when maximum
travel is reached so stopping before actual full throttle will set the 100 percent point artificially low.
Refer to Figure F–2 for proper counts and percentage. Refer to Figure F–3 for illustration of throttle
position adjustment.

B. Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Adjustment


When properly installed by the equipment manufacturer, the TPS should not require adjustment.
Confirm that the throttle sensor is installed to manufacturer specifications before adjusting the throttle
position sensor. The idle count should be 50 or higher and full throttle count 200 or lower. The TPS is
self-calibrating meaning there is no optimum closed throttle or wide open throttle count value. As
long as the counts are within the 50 to 200 range, the TPS is set properly. Total stroke of 85–130
counts must be maintained. Watch the movement of the throttle sensor as the controls move it through
its full stroke. Be sure there is no misalignment or obstruction to smooth movement 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 14 counts, or when the full throttle position
is more than 233 counts. When idle or wide open throttle positions are in the error zones, codes 21 12
and 21 23 occur, respectively. These codes cause the transmission to shift as if the throttle is fully
depressed (100 percent throttle) affecting shift quality and causing decreased fuel efficiency. Code
21 XX may be caused by a short or open circuit in the chassis harness or by incorrect voltages. If this
occurs, refer to code 21 XX chart.

NOTE: Use Test Harness J 41339 for measuring voltages.

TM 9-2320-312-24-3
APPENDIX L — EXTERNALLY-GENERATED ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE

1–1. ELECTROMAGNETIC/RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE


Be sure that the ECU for the Allison Transmission Electronic Controls is properly grounded to prevent EMI
interference problems. The chassis frame must be connected to the negative post of the vehicle battery. A proper
connection to the chassis frame is required. The connection must be free from rust and paint. The electrical
integrity of this connection must not deteriorate with the age of the vehicle. If the ECU is cab-mounted, there must
be two 11⁄ 2 to 2 inch braided grounding straps connecting the cab structure to the chassis frame. DO NOT connect
wire 144-V25 to a bus bar or to any single terminal carrying other electrical loads.
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 EMI/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 react differently to radio frequency energy. When dealing with an
unfamiliar vehicle, test various antenna locations by using a magnetic mount antenna and checking
for adverse effects. Antenna location is a major factor in EMI/RFI problems.

C. Antenna Cable Routing


1. Use high quality, 95 percent shield coverage, coaxial (coax) cable. Route the coax well away from
any electronic components.
2. Route antenna cables as far away from vehicle wiring as possible to reduce the likelihood of the
vehicle wiring acting as an antenna for interference.

APPENDIX L — EXTERNALLY-GENERATED ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE


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

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:
1. Turn ignition ON.
2. Keep engine OFF.
3. If the ECU is ON (shift selector display remains illuminated), connect the Pro-Link® Diagnostic
tool.
NOTE: If false speed signals were present at the previous shutdown, the ECU might still be “on” even though
the ignition is “off.” The Pro-Link® is powered by ignition power so the ignition must be “on” to use
the Pro-Link® to read the speed signals.
4. Read 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 the 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 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.

Resistance Vs. Temperature Characteristics


Graph Q–1 is a graph of the temperature indicated by the resistance measured in the new and the old thermistors.
The new thermistors have a negative temperature coefficient which means the indicated temperature increases as
the measured resistance decreases within a range of about 200,000 Ohms (Ω) down to about 50 Ohms (Ω) for the
sump thermistor and about 400,000 Ohms (Ω) down to about 60 Ohms (Ω) for the retarder thermistor. The old
thermistors (sump and retarder) have a positive temperature coefficient which means that the indicated temperature
increases as the measured resistance increases within a range from about 500 Ohms (Ω) up to about 2500 Ohms
(Ω). The two thermistors require different ECU calibrations. Mismatches between the ECU and the transmission
can cause performance problems or diagnostic codes to be set. This is why the TID 2 transmission is not
compatible with the WTEC II ECU (V6E, V7, or V7A) or with the WTEC III ECU (V8). The proper shift and
temperature characteristics for both the TID 1 and the TID 2 transmission are calibrated in the V8A WTEC III ECU
and the proper calibration will be activated by the ECU according to the TransID wire (wire 195) connection point
in the internal harness.

Graph Q–1.

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. The range of resistance for the old
thermistor is very small when compared with that of the new thermistors.

The following table shows the range of resistance values that correspond to either retarder or sump fluid
temperature shown in one degree increments over the operating range of the thermistors.

3. Investigate source and make corrections for any discrepancies

Lubrication
When servicing brakes or replacing components, lubricate per guidelines listed in Lubrication Table below.
Lubricate the following components with grease specified in table:

• One-piece Roller —lubricate shoe roller recess.


• Two-piece Roller—lubricate shoe roller I.D.
• Roller and anchor pin recesses of each shoe on ES & ED 150-4L models

Do Not Lubricate The Following:


• Cam head surface or related parts that contact cam head surface. For efficient operation, the cam head surface must remain free of oil,
grease or other contaminants.

Note: When lubricating the camshaft bracket, lubricate until grease comes out at the brake adjuster end.
The seal is installed at this end with the air side in so that grease purges out.

! CAUTION: Do not use moly-disulfide loaded grease or oil because this may shorten service life.

Important: In no case should the lubrication interval exceed the published intervals in table below.
Component Lubrication Interval Type of Lubricant

Standard Every 50,000 miles or every 3 months Standard Chassis Grease

LMS-Low Lube Every 250,000 miles or once a year* Mobilith SHC-460 Synthetic

LMS-Lube Free None* Mobilith SHC-PM Synthetic


Table 4. Lubrication Intervals

Note: The Dana LMS-Low Lube brake uses a special “button head” grease fitting. This helps identify the system as an LMS Brake Package
and also indicates that system should be lubricated with a Dana approved synthetic lubricant.

The Dana LMS-Lube Free brake is lubricated at the factory with Mobilith SCH-PM synthetic grease and does not require lubrication at
service intervals. There is no grease fitting on the LMS lube free components.

Spicer Speciality Axle Division - Technical Publications
SECTION 3 CARE OF WHEELS AND FIXING FACES (ALL AXLES WITH SPIGOT FIXING)

At approximately 100 miles after fitting wheels, wheel nut torque should be checked with wheel ends in
" cold " condition ( ie not after prolonged braking.).
If any relaxation of original torque of 475 / 525 lbs.ft (644 / 712Nm.) has occured, re-tighten.
Relaxation of initial torque may occur because of " Bedding Down" of hub / brake drum and wheel
surfaces.

Note :- Tightening should NOT be done immediately after prolonged braking i.e when
wheel ends are hot. A relaxation of wheel nut torque does occur when wheel end is
hot but as it cools down torque should revert back to original setting. Re-tightening
when hot will produce a higher torque reading when cold.

Although this single re-tightening after first 100 miles should be sufficient to ensure wheels stay tight,
extra checks are recommended within at least the first 1000 miles to check that wheel assembly is
stable and that no further relaxation is occuring.

3.1 Care of wheels :-

Check for CRACKS in wheels, especially around the fixing holes, and in studs, nuts and washers.
If in doubt RENEW .
DO NOT simply re-tighten very loose wheel fixings or wheels which are continualy becoming loose.
Find out why they are loose and whether any damage has been caused.
Use TRAINED personnel and keep RECORDS of all attention to wheels and fixings, including which
parts were renewed and when.

Note :- Further details are given in the British Standard Code of Practice for the selection and
care of tyres and wheels for commercial vehicles :-
BS AU50 : Part 2 : Section 7A : 1995.

3.2 PROTECTION OF SPIGOT WHEEL FIXING DIAMETERS AND PRESSURE SURFACES.

Although Kirkstall Speciality Axles Division apply an initial surface coating to wheel rim mating faces
on brake drum and spigot to stop rusting and facilitate easy removal of wheels and brake drums. The
application of P.B.C. grease such as 'Rocol Tufgear' or equivalent to brake drum and wheel register is
recommended.

Note :- The above P.B.C. grease is available from Rocol Ltd., Rocol House, Wakefield Road,
Swillington, Leeds, UK. Phone (0113) 2322600. Fax (0113) 2322740.

TYPE 2S HUB REDUCTION UNIT
DESCRIPTION

The hub gears are driven by a floating sun pinion splined to the drive shaft. The pinion mates with three
planet wheels mounted on a robust carrier which is bolted onto the wheel hub (24).
The annulus is a two piece variety and is splined onto axle arm (65). It also serves to support the outer
hub bearing (23 & 23A). The hubs are fully floating, running on generous sized taper roller bearings
which are secured and adjusted by means of a special split nut (85) with pinch bolt arrangement.
Brakes can be of Kirkstall or proprietary manufacture which can be serviced without disturbing the hub.
Brake drums are of special alloy cast Iron, carried on the outside of hub flanges.

Viton 'O' rings and seals (flouro-elastomers) - safety hazards.

It has been brought to our attention that 'Viton' material used in manufacture of oil seals and 'O' rings,
produces a highly corrosive acid (hydroflouric) when subjected to temperatures above 315° C.

Resulting contamination can have extreme consequenses on human tissue since it is almost impossible
to remove after contact.

We therefore recommend the following procedure when it is necessary to inspect any equipment that
has been subjected to a high temperature i.e. fire.

a) Visually inspect for any gaskets or seals which have suffered from heat; they will appear
black and sticky.
b) If this is affirmed :- Do Not Touch.
c) Make enquiries to ascertain material composition.
Any flouro-elastomer (Viton, Flourel or Tecmoflon) should be considered dangerous but
natural rubber and nitrile are non-hazardous.
d) If flouroelastomer seals have been used, then affected area MUST be decontaminated
before undertaking further work.
e) Disposable heavy duty gloves (neoprene) MUST be worn and affected area
decontaminated by washing thoroughly with limewater (calcium hydroxide solution).
f) Any cloths, residue and gloves used MUST be safely discarded after use.

Note:- Burning of discarded items is NOT RECOMMENDED, except in an approved


incineration process where gaseous products are treated by alkaline scrubbing.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS FOR TYPE D90 DRIVE HEAD UNIT
DESCRIPTION

The axle employs a spiral bevel pinion and crownwheel. The pinion is supported by three roller
bearings, the outer and centre bearings being preloaded taper roller bearings whilst the nose bearing is
a plain roller type. The differential has four pinions mounted on a trunnion.
The differential cage is supported by two robust taper roller bearings, one each side.

LUBRICATION

See " section 'A' " at front of this manual for schedule and correct grade of lubricant.

Note :- On dismantling, clean all parts in paraffin or other suitable cleaning agent and place on
a clean work surface.
INTRODUCTION

Very often noises and vibrations originating from other parts of the machine are mistakenly believed to
eminate from the drive head, with the result that time and effort are wasted on an unnecessary
dismantling operation. Therefore, before fixing suspicion on the drive head, investigate all other
possible sources of trouble. Where the drive head is definitely suspect however, draining of the housing
and examining oil for metal particles will aid diagnosis and help to pinpoint any malfunction.
Check the following defects and note possible causes :-

1) Vibration Broken gear teeth / worn bearings


2) Continued noise Worn bearings or gears
3) Overheating Loss of lubricant
4) Noise on turns Worn gears and pinions
Worn or damaged trunnions
Loss of lubricant
Loose nuts on diff. casing
Worn draft shaft splines
5) Loss of drive Broken drive shaft

VITON 'O' RINGS AND SEALS (FLOURO-ELASTOMERS) - SAFETY HAZARDS.

It has been brought to our attention that 'Viton' material used in manufacture of oil seals and 'O' rings,
produces a highly corrosive acid (hydroflouric) when subjected to temperatures above 315° C.
Resulting contamination can have extreme consequenses on human tissue since it is almost impossible
to remove after contact.
We therefore recommend the following procedure when it is necessary to inspect any equipment that
has been subjected to a high temperature i.e. fire.

a) Visually inspect for any gaskets or seals which have suffered from heat; they will appear
black and sticky.
b) If this is affirmed :- Do Not Touch.
c) Make enquiries to ascertain the material composition.
Any flouro-elastomer (Viton,Flourel or Tecmoflon) should be considered dangerous but
natural rubber and nitrile are non-hazardous.
d) If flouro-elastomer seals have been used, then the affected area MUST be
decontaminated before undertaking further work.
e) Disposable heavy duty gloves (neoprene) MUST be worn and the affected area
decontaminated by washing thoroughly with limewater (calcium hydroxide solution).
f) Any cloths, residue and gloves used MUST be safely discarded after use.

Note:- Burning of discarded items is NOT RECOMMENDED, except in an approved


incineration process where gaseous products are treated by alkaline scrubbing.

SECTION 5 ASSEMBLY OF SPIRAL BEVEL PINION UNIT

5.1 Press pinion bearing cups (13 & 9) into their bores in pinion bearing housing (12).
5.2 Charge inner pinion bearing cone (13A) with grease (Shell ‘Retinax LX2’ or equivalent) using a bearing
packer or by manually kneading grease between rollers, race and cage then fit onto pinion shank (14).
5.3 Assemble inner (wide) pinion bearing spacer (11), large inner chamfer first onto pinion (14), followed by
outer (narrow ) spacer (10).

Note:- If new parts are being fitted then assemble with largest available spacers (10 & 11).
This is to prevent too great a pre-load and possible bearing damage.

5.4 Charge outer pinion bearing cone (9A) with grease (Shell ‘Retinax LX2’ or equivalent) using a bearing
packer or by manually kneading grease between rollers, race and cage.
5.5 Feed pinion assembly into bearing housing (12) then fit outer pinion bearing cone (9A) , followed by
coupling flange and nut (3 & 1).
5.6 Fit a coupling flange holding bar and secure assembly in a vice.
5.7 With assembly still in vice, check pinion bearing pre-load as follows :-
a) Secure a soft cord around pinion bearing housing (12) and attach free end to a spring
balance - see fig. no.1
TP 11

Fig.No.1

b) Pull on spring balance and note force required to maintain rotation, ignoring initial force to
start movement.
c) Reading on spring balance should be within limits of 3.5 to 6lbs. (1.5 to 2.75 kg.) which
equates to a torque of 15 to 25 lbs.ins. (1.7 to 2.8Nm.).

If torque reading is less than 15lbs.ins. then a thinner outer spacer is required.

If torque reading is greater than 25lbs.ins. then a thicker outer spacer is required.

Note :- If largest available combination of spacers (10 & 11) is already fitted, then a defect
must be present in one or more parts of assembly and needs to be found and
remedied before continuing axle build.

If stock size spacer is not available, spacers may be ground to size provided that same
amount of material is ground from both sides to a maximum of 0.13mm (0.005") per
side whilst maintaining parallelism and squareness with bore within 0.0002" T.I.R.

This is to avoid removing all case hardening depth on one side.

d) When correct pre-load has been obtained, remove coupling flange nut (1) and pull off
coupling flange.

SECTION 9 GEAR IDENTIFICATION ALSO CROWNWHEEL & PINION GEAR MESH.
Because we now produce gears by both Gleason and Oerlikon method of manufacture, the following
identification features are given to show differences between the types of gears .

9.1 GLEASON GEARS

a) Gear teeth taper towards centre (toe end of teeth).


b) No suffix identification letter in part no. eg. R8579/1/2.
c) No identification groove on pinion shank and crownwheel back face.

9.2 OERLIKON GEARS

a) Gear teeth parallel to pitch line .


b) Part no. has suffix identification letter 'N' eg.R8579/1N/2N.
c) Pinion shank and crownwheel back face have identification groove.

Note :- Oerlikon Gears are cut in two forms :- N form and G form (spiroflex)
At present, all gears except the following part nos. ,are cut in N form.
Gears cut in G form are as follows:-

R8939/1N/2N R8858/1N/2N R8859/1N/2N.

The only difference between the two forms is in mesh positions as shown in relevant
mesh checking diagrams in following section.
SECTION 10 CHECKING CROWNWHEEL AND PINION MESH.

10.1 Apply a thin coating of engineers marking compound to several consecutive crownwheel teeth.
10.2 Turn crownwheel for a few revolutions , in both directions to make a positive tooth contact impression
on crownwheel and pinion teeth.
10.3 Inspect marking compound deposit on crownwheel and pinion teeth and compare them with following
relevant diagrams on pages C10 to C12.
In all cases, the action, (if any) to be taken is shown below:

Fig.A. Indicates correct mesh.


No further action required.

Fig.B Indicates pinion & crownwheel are too far out of mesh.
To remedy, move pinion inwards towards crownwheel.
To maintain backlash, move crownwheel away from pinion in direction of arrow B

Fig. C Indicates pinion & crownwheel too far into mesh.


To remedy, move pinion outwards away from crownwheel.

To maintain backlash,move crownwheel towards pinion in direction of arrow B.

If any action is required, adjust pinion position by altering thickness of pinion bearing
shims (10A,B & C) ie. Add shims to move pinion away from crownwheel and remove shims to move
pinion towards crownwheel.
10.4 When settings are correct, remove pinion bearing housing setscrews with washers (4 & 5) then pull off
pinion assembly and lift off shims (16).
10.5 Thoroughly clean shims (16), also mating face of pinion housing and gear casing (12 & 47) using Loctite
Cleaner 7070 or other suitable solvent.
10.6 Apply a thin film of Loctite no.515 liquid gasket to one side of each shim (16) then fit, Loctite side first,
onto housing (12).
10.7 Similarly coat gear casing mating face (47) with Loctite no.515 liquid gasket and re-fit assembly to gear
casing, tapping into place with a hide faced hammer.
10.8 Secure in position with washers (5) and setscrews (4). Tighten setscrews progressively using diagonal
selection, until tightened to correct torque of 190 lbs ft (258 Nm).

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The Sheppard M-Series Integral Power Steering Gear provides full-time hydraulic steering. Only enough manual
effort to overcome the torsion bar and turn the rotary valve is required.

The actuating shaft (1) is connected to the steering column and is centered within the rotary valve by a torsion bar.
The rotary valve shaft is threaded into the piston with ball threads (2) and travels within the piston on steel balls.
Rotating the input shaft causes high pressure fluid to build up on one end of the piston. This higher pressure causes
the piston to move in the bore of the gear housing. The sector shaft (3) is engaged to a rack gear (4) machined into
one side of the piston. Piston rack movement causes sector shaft and pitman arm rotation. When steering shaft
rotation stops, the actuating valve returns to its neutral position. Relief valve plungers or adjustable stops are used
in the bearing cap and cylinder head. When the plungers are adjusted properly, they will unload the hydraulic
system if the wheels are in a full turn to either direction.

When the engine is running there is constant low pressure oil flow through the steering gear. This constant oil flow
provides an instant response and absorbs road shock to help eliminate steering wheel kick. Pressure is equal
throughout the steering gear; however, care should be used when towing or moving a vehicle where the engine or
hydraulic supply pump is not running.

NOTE: If sudden loss of pressure occurs during normal driving, the parts are designed to
provide mechanical back-up steering so that the vehicle may be safely steered to the side
of the road.

An optional integral pressure relief valve is available on the M-Series Steering Gears. This valve limits maximum
steering system relief pressure at the steering gear. This reduces system temperature by avoiding high pressure
by-pass and recirculation within the pump.

The Sheppard Integral Power Steering Gears have been designed to provide long service life and simple service
repair. The rack and sector shaft does not require center point adjustment. The clearance between the cylinder bore
and the piston is closely controlled, and a piston ring (5) was added to better use the hydraulic oil supplied.

With reasonable care and limited maintenance the Sheppard M-Series Steering Gear will provide many miles of
reliable performance.

Here we see the steering gear in the neutral or non steer- N
ing position. Equal low pressure is being applied to T
both ends of the steering gear piston. The oil is circulat- R
ing at back pressure only and provides a hydraulic cush- O
ion for the steering gear. All oil is being circulated D
through the steering gear and back to the reservoir to
help cool the system.

DIAGNOSIS AND TROUBLESHOOTING


IMPORTANT: Do Not Remove The Steering Gear From The Vehicle

To properly diagnose steering complaints it is important to understand the complete steering system. Many factors
outside of the steering system will affect steering performance. Factors such as misalignment, looseness in front end
components, mismatched tires and dry fifth wheel, to name a few, will affect steering.

A trouble shooting checklist is provided in the Miscellaneous Section of this manual. This form can be removed and
photo copied. This checklist will follow the diagnosis outline below.

GENERAL DIAGNOSIS

Many times a steering gear is removed and disassembled needlessly because an orderly diagnostic procedure is not
followed.

A glossary of common terms is provided at the end of this section of the manual. This glossary is intended to help
you better understand the problem.

Begin your diagnosis using the following outline as a guide.

I. DEFINE THE COMPLAINT


a. Talk to and question the driver - Refer to the glossary to obtain a clear understanding of what the
driver is saying.
b. Drive the vehicle - If possible have the driver show you what he is experiencing. Drive the
vehicle together to duplicate the condition.

II. PERFORM A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE


a. Check for dry fifth wheel - Lack of lubrication will tend to steer the vehicle.
b. Check tires for mismatch, improper inflation or uneven wear patterns.
c. Check for poor loading practices - Special body or equipment installations should be checked for
their effect on steering performance.
d. Check for suspension sagging or shifting - Out of line rear axles will tend to steer the front end
of the vehicle.

III. INSPECT MECHANICAL COMPONENTS


a. Check all front axle components for wear, looseness or seizing.
b. Inspect steering column for drag - more than 10 inch pounds of drag measured with the column
suspended at the angle of operation is excessive.
c. Check steering gear mounting to be sure that it is tight. A steering gear that is shifting on the
frame will affect steering performance.

IV. CHECK THE HYDRAULIC SUPPLY SYSTEM


a. Follow the procedures as outlined in the hydraulic diagnosis section of this manual. Oil
pressure and flow must be within the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.

HYDRAULIC DIAGNOSIS

The Sheppard M-Series integral power steering gear is a reactionary part of the power steering system. By
reactionary we mean that its operation is dependent on the proper supply of oil pressure and flow from the hydraulic
supply pump.

10
TM 9-2320-312-24-3
When the steering wheel is turned, oil flow is applied to one end of the steering gear piston causing pressure to build.
This pressure causes the piston to move. As the piston moves it is displaced by a volume of oil under pressure. The
speed the piston moves is dependent on the amount of oil flow or,

Flow = Speed of steering.

Maximum system relief pressure limits the amount of steering gear output available to steer your specific vehicle or,
D
Pressure = The amount of work the steering gear can do. I
A
Keeping the basic formula of “Flow = Steering Wheel Speed” and “Pressure = Work” in mind will help you diagnose G
steering problems. N
O
Oil pressure and flow requirements are set during the design of the steering system. When diagnosing steering S
problems, oil pressure and flow must meet design specifications. Pressure and flow specifications vary. Follow the I
vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. S
&
System back pressure and operating temperature must be considered during the diagnosis of the steering system.
High system back pressure will create heat.
T
R
High system oil temperatures reduce overall efficiency of the steering pump and steering gear.
O
U
Various types of pressure and flow meters are available to diagnose power steering problems. A pressure gauge rated
B
at 3000 PSI and a flow meter with a capacity of 10 GPM are needed to check oil pressure and flow.
L
E
A shutoff valve placed downstream from the pressure gauge allows the hydraulic supply pump to be isolated from
S
the gear to check pump relief pressure. A simple thermometer placed in the reservoir will show system temperature.
H
O
Pictured below is the Sheppard Heavy Duty Power Steering Test Kit Part #5517641. This is an excellent tool for
O
troubleshooting power steering systems and can be ordered using the form in the Miscellaneous section of this
T
manual.
I
N
G
This tester is a self contained, direct
reading device to check system flow,
pressure or both at the same time. It
can detect worn components, check
flow and pressure control settings or
monitor overall system performance.

LOW COST - EASY TO USE


Only one hose connection is broken,
either at the pump output or at the
pressure input to the power steering
gear housing.

Using a pressure and flow test kit, proceed with the evaluation of the hydraulic system. Record your findings on the
trouble shooting checklist.

11
TM 9-2320-312-24-3

NOTE: All tests must be performed with the vehicle parked on a clean, dry, solid surface, with the engine
running and the full weight of the vehicle on the front wheels.

1. Connect the pressure and flow tester in series with the pressure line of the pump. Make a copy of the
trouble shooting test sheet.
2. Start the engine and check system oil level. Make sure the oil is flowing in the proper direction as indicated
by the arrow on the flow meter.
3. Place a thermometer in the reservoir.
4. Run the engine at idle speed. Slowly close the shut off valve until you have a pressure reading of 1000
PSI. Maintain this pressure until system temperature reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Open the shutoff
valve all the way when the temperature is 180 degrees.
5. Check System Backpressure:
Normal system back pressure will be between 0 and 100 PSI with the engine idling and the steering wheel
stationary. Dual systems will normally read slightly higher. Back pressure should be checked at normal
operating temperature.
6. Pump Maximum Relief Pressure:
With the engine running at specified idle speed, slowly turn the shutoff valve until it is closed and read the
pressure at which the pressure relief valve opens. (Open the shutoff valve as quickly as possible to avoid
heat build-up or possible damage to the steering pump.) This pressure reading should equal the maximum
pump pressure specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Check specifications.

A BAD PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE MAY NOT RELIEVE PUMP PRESSURE. CLOSING THE SHUTOFF
WARNING VALVE MAY CAUSE SEVERE PUMP DAMAGE OR HIGH-PRESSURE HOSES TO RUPTURE. WATCH
THE PRESSURE GAUGE CLOSELY. IF PRESSURE RISES RAPIDLY OR GOES ABOVE 2500 PSI. STOP!
DO NOT CLOSE THE VALVE ALL THE WAY.

SOME STEERING PUMPS ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH INTEGRAL RELIEF VALVES. CLOSE THE SHUTOFF VALVE SLOW-
LY AND WATCH THE PRESSURE. IF SYSTEM PRESSURE GOES ABOVE 2500 PSI DO NOT CONTINUE TO CLOSE THE
SHUTOFF VALVE. PUMP DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT.

7. Flow Test:
Measure oil flow under the following conditions. Record your findings on the Trouble Shooting Checklist.
Flow at idle with back pressure only
Flow at idle under a 1500 PSI load applied with the shutoff valve
Flow at full governed RPM with back pressure only
Flow at full governed RPM under a 1500 PSI load applied with the shutoff valve

8. Aerated Oil:
Visually check for air mixed with the oil in the steering system. The oil should be clear. Any signs of
frothing indicates air in the system and steering performance will be affected. Carefully check for leakage
on the suction side of the steering pump. Drain, refill, and bleed the system. Follow the procedure for
setting relief plungers in the “Common Procedures” section of this manual.
Before any steering gear repairs are made complete the hydraulic supply evaluation
and make any repairs. Many times steering gears have been repaired or replaced needlessly because a
hydraulic supply system evaluation had not been made.
Additional references to pressure and flow testing will be made in the diagnosis charts in the
“General Diagnosis” section of this manual.

9. Dry park Pressure and Input Effort:


Measure and record the pressure required to steer the vehicle from full left to full right while parked. Input
effort is measured at the steering wheel retaining nut. Use a dial type inch pound torque wrench to check
static steering input effort. Normal Input effort will be less than 100 inch pounds.

Symptom Possible cause Remedy

Steering input not smooth Worn universal joint Check and replace as
required

Lack of lubrication Lubricate per vehicle


manufacturer’s
recommendations

Universal joints not phased Re-phase columns*


properly

Low oil flow Idle speed too low


Drive belts slipping
Supply pump not to
specifications

Overload on front axle Verify front axle weight.


Do not exceed rating of
front axle.

Pump cavitating Correct pump supply

Overheating Correct cause of overheating

NOTE: Universal joints are designed to operate best when the angle between the drive and driven
shaft is a maximum of 20 to 25 degrees. Angles greater than this may upset steering
performance.

IMPORTANT: Actuating shaft thread wear generally comes from improper lubrication or excessive manual
steering. Manual steering results from low pump pressure or flow or an overloaded
front axle.

*To check phasing of the universal joints in the steering column, use an inch-pound graduated dial type torque wrench.
With a socket on the steering wheel retaining nut, read the difference in the torque while steering from lock-to-lock.
Variation of more than 15 in.-lb. means improper phasing. Take the reading with the vehicle stationary and the engine
running at idle.

Phasing can usually be corrected by rotating the two-piece intermediate shaft one spline at a time until the torque
reading remains the same throughout the 360 degree rotation of the steering wheel.

DO NOT CHECK FOR LEAKS BY HAND, HYDRAULIC OIL UNDER PRESSURE CAN PENETRATE
WARNING THE SKIN AND CAUSE SEVERE INJURY.

NOTE: A note on mixing oils and additives-Chemicals tend to react with one another. Some interactions
are of no consequence. Others are beneficial, while still others may cause some degradation in the
service capability. It is not recommended to mix products which are intended for different service
applications, for instance, a transmission and a gear oil.

Since the original lubricant manufacturer puts a lot of time and expense into ensuring that their oil
will meet the required qualifications, it is not a good idea to introduce additional chemical which
may upset the delicate and critical balance originally obtained. This means that supplemental
additives are not needed and normally are not desired in a fully compounded and qualified lubricant.

Sub Assemblies
M-SERIES OPTIONAL INTEGRAL RELIEF VAINE

An optional integral pressure relief valve is offered with the Sheppard M-Series steering gear. The relief valve
cartridge is located in the bearing cap. The valve limits the maximum operating pressure in the steering system. In
most cases. the hydraulic supply pump will have a maximum relief pressure setting higher than the integral relief
valve in the steering gear.

When maximum relief pressures are reached in the steering system, the excess pressure is relieved within the steering
gear.

When oil pressure exceeds the maximum relief pressure setting of the pilot-operated relief valve, the valve opens.
Excess pressure is bled off into the oil return circuit through the return port of the steering gear.

The relief valve cartridge can be removed for cleaning and inspection. Remove the relief valve nut and cartridge
assembly. At this time the strainer can also be cleaned and inspected.

NOTE: The relief valve cartridge can not be disassembled and must be replaced if bad.

The O-rings and strainer are replaceable and are included as part of the complete seal kit.

CAUTION Never use old seals or O-rings. Use the complete seal kit.

To install the relief valve cartridge in the bearing cap. insert the cartridge assembly into the relief valve bore and torque
the valve nut to 35 ft./lbs.

CLEANING & INSPECTION

Cleaning

Cleanliness is important. Dirt and foreign material that gets into the steering system during repair operations can
cause damage or a possible steering malfunction at a later date. Due to the close tolerances between mating parts it is
best to have all parts at the same temperature for reassembly. R
E
Clean the machined parts individually to avoid damage caused by “bumping” together. Use clean solvent to wash A
parts. Dry the parts with compressed air. Nicks or burrs must be removed with a fine hand stone before assembly.
Use clean lubricant to coat parts for assembly. All hoses, lines and the reservoir should be cleaned before reinstalling
S
a repaired steering gear or after pump replacement. Replace the filter element or cartridge. S
E
Inspection M
B
Make a careful visual inspection of all steering gear parts. Replace worn parts as well as any parts that show signs of L
stress or fatigue.
Y
STEERING GEARS THAT HAVE BEEN DAMAGED IN AN ACCIDENT MUST BE REPLACED.
DANGER IMPACT LOADS TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE FRONT AXLE AND STEERING LINKAGE
INTO THE STEERING GEAR CAN STRESS PARTS TO A POINT JUST SHORT OF FAILURE. FURTHER USE
IS UNSAFE AND THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY AND PITMAN ARM MUST BE REPLACED. DISTORTED
PITMAN ARMS, TWISTED SECTOR SHAFTS, BROKEN OR CRACKED RACK AND PINION GEAR TEETH
ARE SOME SIGNS OF IMPACT DAMAGE. BROKEN OR DAMAGED MOUNTING BRACKETS MUST BE
REPLACED.

Steering gear parts inspection may show problems in other areas of the steering system. To avoid repeat problems
inspect all parts carefully. Listed below are the more common problems you may see during steering gear inspection
along with their possible cause. This information should be considered carefully when repairing low mileage vehi-
cles. Remember it is more important to repair the cause than the results.

Note on scoring
Minor scoring and scuffing of the piston and housing of the steering gear is normal. During operation at relatively
high pressure and flow rates this minor scoring will not affect the safety or operation of the steering gear. Minor scor-
ing should be polished with a fine hand stone or crocus cloth.

CAUTION The cylinder bore should not be honed or bored out. This will increase internal leakage.

Reassembly
1. Install a new seal on the piston by first installing the
O-ring in the groove then carefully installing the Teflon
piston seal over the O-ring. The Teflon seal will stretch
as it is fitted over the piston. Take care not to tear the
Teflon when installing. Use a ring compressor on the
Teflon seal to aid in the installation into the housing.

2. Install a new sector shaft oil seal in the housing. When


properly fitted the seal will ride between the roller
bearing and housing lip. The black lip of the seal must
face the bearing.

IMPORTANT: The sector shaft seal is a two piece seal. It


will necessary to bend the seal for installation. Once the
seal is installed you may have to work the seal into place
with your fingers or a blunt seal pick to properly seat the seal.
Press only on the body of the seal.
DO NOT PRESS ON THE LIP OF THE SEAL!

TM 9-2320-312-24-3

Dual Steering Gear Systems


Two or more integral steering gears are sometimes used where front axle weights exceed 16,000lbs gross front axle
weight rating. Dual steering systems are used to balance the steering gear output across two or more steering arms
and conserve under hood space.
D
The secondary or slave unit is mounted on the right hand side of the vehicle and operates off of pressure supplied by U
the master or left hand steering gear. Dual steering systems are mechanically linked to the front end components by a A
drag link and steer arm on the right hand spindle on the axle. No physical link exists between the master and slave. L
Hydraulic pressure and flow reacting on the slave gear piston causes the slave gear to operate under pressure in the
opposite direction of the master gear assisting in the power steering operation of the system. Hydraulic relief
plungers are not used in the slave gear. Master gear relief plungers will relieve hydraulic pressure for both gears S
when properly adjusted. T
E
There are three dual system configurations common with the Sheppard M-Series steering gears M-Series Cooling E
Slave, M-Series Standard Slave and 92 series slave gears. Operation of the slave is consistent no matter which slave R
configuration you are working with.
I
Dual systems can be plumbed one of two ways depending on slave gear configuration. Typical plumbing N
configurations are: G
M-Series Cooling Slave - Cooling slaves have a low pressure return port cast along the length of the slave gear S
housing. Return oil from the master gear is routed through this port and back to the reservoir. The additional line Y
provides a cooling effect as well as using the slave gear as a heat sink.
S
92 Series Slave Gear - Return oil is routed from the return side of the master gear through the sector shaft bore of T
the 92 series slave then back to the reservoir. The additional line provides a cooling effect as well as using the slave E
gear as a heat sink. Refer to page 63 for diagram M
S
M-series Standard Slave - Requires only the cross over pressure lines between the master gear and the slave
steering gear. No additional line is required in the plumbing of the standard slave dual system. Refer to page 62
for diagram

NOTE: The Sheppard M-Series steering gear may also be used with an assist cylinder. Refer to your truck
manufacturer’s service manual for operation, bleeding and repair procedures for hydraulic assist cylinders.

IMPORTANT: Bleeding of the dual system is critical whenever the oil has been changed, the system has been opened
to atmosphere or a steering gear has been replaced. Follow the Dual System Bleed procedure in the Common
Procedures section of this manual.

Final Adjustments
Sheppard Power Steering gears have no external adjustments for sector shaft or valve shaft pre-load. Make sure all
linkages and system components are within vehicle manufacturers specs.

TORQUE: Check all fastener torques when installing the steering gear. A torque chart for steering gear fasteners can F
be found in the chart below. Consult the vehicle manufacturers service manual for steering gear to frame, pinch bolt I
and drag link torque values. N
A
PITMAN ARM: Pitman arm application torque is critical. Follow the pitman arm installation instructions in this L
manual.
A
IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF THE PITMAN ARM COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT OR D
DANGER SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY! J
U
SET RELIEF PLUNGERS: Verify the type of relief plungers in your steering gear. Refer to the Common Procedures S

@
iw

A Warning To Installer

Correct installation of this heater is necessaly to ensure safe and proper operation.
Read and understand this manual before attempting to install the heater. Failure to follow all these
instructions could cause serious or fatal injury

A Warning - Explosion Hazard


Heater must be turned off while re-fueling.

- Do not install heater in enclosed areas where combustible fumes may be present.
Do not install heaters in engine compartments of gasoline powered boats.

A Warning - Fire Hazard


* Install the exhaust system so it will maintain a minimum distance of 50mm(2") from any flammable or
heat sensitive material.
Ensure that the fuel system is intact and there are no leaks.

A Warning -Asphyxiation Hazard

* Route the heater exhaust so that exhaust fumes cannot enter any passenger compartments.
If running exhaust components through an enclosed compartment, ensure that it is vented to the outside

A -
Warning Safety Hazard on Coolant Heaters Used With Improper Antifreeze Mixtures

The use of Espar coolant heaters requires that the coolant in the system to be heated contain a proper

- mixture of water and antifreeze to prevent coolant from freezing or slushing.


If the coolant becomes slushy or frozen. the heater's coolant pump cannot move the coolant causing a
blockage of the circulating system. Once this occurs, pressure will build up rapidly in the heater and the

- coolant hose will either burst or blow off at the connection point to the heater.
This situation could cause engine damage andor personal injury. Extreme care should be taken to
ensure a proper mixture of water and antifreeze is used in the coolant system.
Refer to the engine manufacturer's or coolant manufacturer's recommendations for your specific requirements.

Caution: During electrical welding work on the vehicle disconnect the power to the heater in order to protect the
control unit.

Noie: All measurements contained in this manual contain metric and approximate SAE equivalents in brackets eg 25mm (1")

the Espar Hydronic 10 is a diesel fired coolant heater capable of on/off switch, a preselect timer or a combination of both.
between 1.5 kW to 9.5 kW (5,100 to 32,400 BTU/hr). The heater A flame sensor, temperature regulating sensor and overheat

10 a safe and dependable heating system.
This light weight and compact water heater offers an affordable
heating solution to many applications. The Hydronic 10 is ideal
for pre heating the engines of class 7 and 8 trucks, off-road
equipment, buses and boats.

The heater simply pumps coolant from the engine, heats it and
returns it to the engine. It features automatic heat regulation
while being fuel and power efficient. Since the heater runs on
diesel fuel and 12 or 24 volt power, it is able to perform this
completely independently of the vehicle engine. A temperature
regulating switch in the unit regulates the coolant temperature
between a low of 68°C (154°F) and a high of 85°C (185°F) by
automatically cycling the heater.

4. Never attempt to disassemble a component
before you have read and understand the
recommended procedures. Some components
contain powerful springs and can cause injury if
not properly disassembled. Use proper tools and
observe all related precautions.
5. Use only quality replacement parts. Components
such as air lines, valve fittings, and air tanks
should be designed for use in an air system.
Replacement hardware such as fittings and
valves should be of equivalent size, type, length,
and strength as the original equipment.

O Whenever compressor is rebuilt.

Maintenance Tips
The Meritor WABCO air dryer will provide years of reliable service, even under adverse operating
conditions. To provide additional protection against the harmful effects of extreme heat or cold, here are
a few helpful tips.

Figure 2.1
Dedicated Purge Tank
Optimum mounting location for the dedicated
purge tank is ABOVE the air dryer.
Extreme Heat
Make sure the compressor discharge line is
long enough to keep inlet air below 175°F
(80°C). (Refer to Operating Environment
Requirements in Appendix II.)
Extreme Cold
Make sure the air dryer heater is in good
working order by running a heater resistance
test. Refer to Heater Resistance in this section.
Check the line from the governor to port 4 of the
dryer for oil and/or water. Keep this line clean to
help prevent freezing.

Air Pressure Checks


NOTE: When checking air pressure during these
tests, do not rely on cab air gauges for accurate
readings. Install a calibrated air gauge (accurate to
within 1 psi) in the secondary air tank for making

Testing the Meritor WABCO


System Saver Series Air Dryer
1. Turn off the engine after the air system
reaches cut-out pressure (approximately
120 psi) and the air compressor has unloaded.
2. Drain the primary air tank(s) down to 80 psi
or lower.
3. Check the secondary tank air gauge. It should
read 95 ± 5 psi. This drop from cut-out
pressure to 95 ± 5 psi for this particular test is
normal for vehicles equipped with any Meritor
WABCO single cartridge air dryer and the
pressure-controlled check valve.
4. If the secondary tank air gauge reading is
less than 90 psi, check to see if the
pressure-controlled check valve is installed
backwards. If so, install correctly and re-test.
If not, check for air leaks in the secondary air
system. If no significant air leaks are found,
then replace the valve and re-test.
5. If the secondary tank air gauge reading
does not change, or the reading does not fall
below 100 psi, then check for one of the
possibilities listed above in Step 4. If none
of those possibilities is found, then the
pressure-controlled check valve may be
shutting off at 100 psi or higher. Replace the
valve and retest.

NOTE: When checking air pressures during


these procedures, do not rely on cab air
gauges for accurate readings. Install a
calibrated air gauge (accurate to within 1 psi)
in the secondary air tank for making
determinations about the continued use or
replacement of any equipment.

Appendix I
Glossary

Basic Air System/Air Dryer Terms


Appendix I
Glossary

Air Compressor A device that pumps air to and builds air pressure in an air system.
Air Dryer A device that cools, filters, and dries the air delivered by an air
compressor.
Air Governor A device that controls the operation of the air compressor by constantly
monitoring air pressure in the supply tank of the air system. The air
governor initiates the compressor load cycle when “cut-in” pressure is
realized, and initiates the compressor unload cycle when the “cut-out”
pressure is reached. The air governor also controls the air dryer by
sending an air signal (at the beginning of the compressor unload cycle)
to the control port of the air dryer, initiating the purge cycle. When this
air signal is removed by the governor (at the beginning of the
compressor load cycle), the purge valve closes and the drying cycle
begins.
Compressor Load Cycle The time during which the air compressor is building air pressure in an
air system.
Compressor Unload Cycle The time during which the air compressor is idling and is not building air
pressure in an air system.
Cut-In Pressure The pressure level in the air system supply tank which triggers the
compressor load cycle.
Cut-Out Pressure The pressure level in the air system supply tank which triggers the
compressor unload cycle.
Dedicated Purge Tank A separate air tank used exclusively for holding air used in an air drying
cycle. This tank eliminates the need for a regeneration valve. Optimum
mounting location for the dedicated purge tank is ABOVE the air dryer.
Desiccant A granular substance that has a high affinity for water and is used to
retain moisture from the air stream flowing through the air dryer
cartridge.
Discharge Line — An unloader or air discharge line used to dump unused air to
Unloaded Compressor atmosphere once system has reached cut-out pressure.
Drying Cycle The time during which the air dryer cools, filters, and removes moisture
from the air delivered by the air compressor. The drying cycle begins
and ends the same as the compressor load cycle.
Purge The initial blast of air (decompression) from the air dryer purge valve at
the beginning of the unload cycle of the air compressor.
Purge Cycle The time during which the air dryer is undergoing purge and
regeneration. This cycle starts at the beginning of the compressor
unload cycle and normally ends well before the beginning of the
compressor load cycle.
Regeneration The mild backflow of air through the air dryer and out the purge valve
that begins immediately after the purge and lasts normally 10 to
25 seconds. This backflow of air from the air system and through the air
dryer removes moisture from the desiccant cartridge and readies the air
dryer for the next compressor load cycle.
