A Service Tool-Initiated Service Activity Report is Required for All Automated Transmission and Clutch Warranty Claims
Date: March 25, 2024
Updated: August 4, 2025
Issue Description:
Eaton Corporation (Eaton) and Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies (Eaton Cummins) continues to focus on improving the warranty adjudication process. To ensure effective repairs, a Service Activity Report (SAR) is a key element to getting the vehicle repaired and warranty claim processed in a timely fashion. A service tool-initiated SAR downloads all the current Transmission Control Module (TCM) information, including fault code data with corresponding timestamps, transmission software, and all relevant calibration and configuration parameters.
Affected Models/Population:
- Automated Transmission Product Families
- Endurant - HD, XD
- PACCAR - TX-12, TX-18
- UltraShift PLUS (USP)
- Fuller Advantage Automated (FAA)
- Procision
- Automated Clutch Product Families
- Advantage Automated Series Clutch - Endurant and PACCAR
- Advantage Automated ECA Clutch - USP and FAA
- UltraShift DM Clutch
Field Strategy:
Effective April 1, 2024, all Eaton and Eaton Cummins automated product warranty repairs require a Service Activity Report (SAR). Refer to the appropriate troubleshooting guide, perform the Diagnostic Procedure, create and download a SAR using ServiceRanger 4. After download is complete, ensure the computer is connected to the internet and select “Send to Eaton”.
Before beginning a repair, complete the relevant product family Diagnostic Procedure, download a SAR and sent it to Eaton. Not following these steps may lead to an ineffective or unnecessary repair and result in a denied warranty claim.

Warranty Information:
- Effective April 1, 2024, all Eaton and Eaton Cummins automated product warranty repairs require a service tool-initiated Service Activity Report (SAR).
- Effective September 1, 2025, transmission fault code timestamp (h m) information is included in the warranty claim review process. Reviewing the fault code Status (Inactive/Active) and Timestamp (h m) are required to determine if a repair is necessary. Eaton and Eaton Cummins automated product warranty repairs must be associated with an active or inactive transmission fault code(s) with a timestamp(s) less than 100 hours (Legacy Faults) as reported in the SAR. Do not troubleshoot Legacy Faults unless authorized by an Eaton and/or Eaton Cummins service support representative.
Do not troubleshoot inactive fault codes with a timestamp greater than 100 hours (100h 00m). The duration since the fault code set indicates the condition is resolved.
Warranty Coverage:
Standard warranty per Model and Vocation as published in the Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies Warranty Manual ECWY3000.
