Fault Code 11: No TECU Operation

J1587: MID 130 SID 254 FMI 12

J1939: SA 3 SPN 629 FMI 12

Overview

The UltraShift PLUS transmission is equipped with a Transmission Electronic Control Unit (TECU). The TECU performs a variety of functions including receiving inputs from sensors, sending outputs to control devices, operating X-Y Shifter motors and actuators and making shift decisions. Fault Code 11 indicates an internal failure of the TECU.

Detection

The TECU performs a self-check during power up, any failure detected sets this fault.

Conditions to Set Fault Code Active

FMI 12 – Bad Intelligent Device: TECU detects an internal failure.

Fallback

FMI 12

  • “F” flashes in gear display.
  • Service light flashes (if equipped).
  • Engine may not crank.
  • Transmission may not attempt to shift.
  • Transmission may not confirm neutral.
  • Engine may have to be shut down with transmission still in gear.

Conditions to Set Fault Code Inactive

FMI 12: Transmission powers up and the failure is no longer detected by the TECU.

Possible Causes

Fault Code 11 Troubleshooting

A
Purpose:Check for Active or Inactive fault codes.
  1. Record the transmission fault codes, FMIs, occurrences, and timestamps from the Service Activity Report created during the Diagnostic Procedure.

V
Purpose:Verify repair.
  1. Key off.

  2. Reconnect all connectors and verify that all components are properly installed.

  3. Key on with engine off.

  4. Clear fault codes using ServiceRanger.

  5. Drive vehicle and attempt to reset the code or duplicate the previous complaint.

  6. Check for fault codes using ServiceRanger.

  • If no fault codes set Active and vehicle operates properly, test complete.

  • If Fault Code 11 sets Active during the test drive, refer to Contact Information and contact Eaton for further diagnostics.

  • If a fault code other than 11 sets Active, troubleshoot per Fault Code Isolation Procedure Index.
