Reset and Install Linear Clutch Actuator (LCA)

Notice
Ensure the key is off and the 20-Way TCM Vehicle and Body Harness Connectors are disconnected prior to installing the LCA.

Note: Linear Clutch Actuator (LCA) can be installed with transmission in-vehicle.

  1. Inspect LCA to determine next steps, reference images below:

    • If LCA is locked in the reset position, go to Step 5 and install Linear Clutch Actuator.
    • If LCA is not locked in the reset position, go to Step 2.

    Locked in Reset Position

  2. Place LCA push rod on a clean, flat surface. Tightly grasp LCA housing with both hands and push down on push rod to lock LCA into the reset position.

    Caution
    A large amount of force is required to lock the LCA into the reset position. Failure to tightly grasp the LCA housing with both hands while pushing down on push rod may cause unintended movement resulting in personal injury and/or component damage.

  3. Inspect LCA to determine next steps, reference images below:

    • If LCA remains locked in the reset position, go to Step 4.
    • If LCA does not remain locked in the reset position, go to Step 2, repeat reset procedure.

      Note: If LCA cannot be locked into the reset position, replace LCA.

    Caution
    Do not drop LCA. Dropping LCA may cause the LCA to unlock resulting in personal injury and/or component damage.

Clutch and Rail Calibration

To ensure proper operation, the TCM, clutch, MTM and transmission require a Clutch and Rail Calibration. Calibrations are automatically initiated when:

  • LCA is in the reset position
  • Transmission is “N” (Neutral)
  • Key on engine running
  • Vehicle air system pressure at operating range
Notice
Do not use service toll to initiate calibrations. Allow calibrations to automatically initiate.

Note: Vehicle display may indicate a flashing “CC” and “F” in gear display.

  1. Set vehicle parking brake and chock wheels.

  2. Key on with engine running.

  3. Allow vehicle air pressure to build to governor cut-off.

    Note: Clutch and Rail Calibrations automatically initiate when vehicle air pressure reaches approximately 100 psi.

  4. Ensure “N” (Neutral) is selected and engine is running. Wait approximately 2 minutes for calibrations to complete.

    Notice
    If process is interrupted, key off, wait 1 minute and go to Step 2.
    • If vehicle display indicates a solid “N” (Neutral) in gear display, calibrations are complete. Key off, go to Step 6.
    • If vehicle display continues to indicate a flashing “CC” and/or “F” in gear display or service transmission message, go to Step 5.
  5. Key off and wait 1 minute.

  6. Key on with engine off.

  7. Connect ServiceRanger.

  8. Go to “Fault Codes”.

    • If an Active transmission fault code is set, go to Endurant XD Troubleshooting Guide TRTS0960 Diagnostic Procedure.
    • If no Active transmission fault codes are set, select “Clear Eaton Faults” and follow on-screen prompts. Go to Step 9.
  9. Disconnect ServiceRanger.

  10. Key off.

  11. Inspect transmission for a PTO.

    • If not PTO-equipped, process complete.
    • If PTO-equipped, start the engine and run for 1 to 2 minutes to fill the PTO with oil, key off and repeat the Fill Oil Procedure.
    Caution
    Failure to repeat the Fill Oil Procedure if PTO-equipped may result in low transmission oil and component damage.
