  • If a vehicle/engine fault code(s) is Active, contact OEM for further diagnostic instructions.

  • If a transmission fault code(s) is Active, Go to Step G

  • If a transmission fault code(s) is Inactive, Go to Step B

  • If a transmission fault code is not set, Go to Step C

  • If ServiceRanger does not connect to the Transmission Control Module (TCM), go to the Power-Up Sequence

B
Purpose:Clear Inactive Transmission Fault Code(s).
  1. Key on with engine off.

  2. Connect ServiceRanger.

  3. Go To Fault Codes.

    Note: Inactive fault codes with a timestamp greater than 100 hours (100h 00m) indicates the condition may have been resolved.

  • Select "Clear Eaton Faults" and follow on-screen prompts. Go to Step C

C
Purpose:Verify the engine cranks.
  1. Key on with engine running.

  • If the engine cranks and runs, Go to Step D

  • If the display indicates “F” during the engine crank or while the engine is running, retrieve fault code(s) with ServiceRanger. Go to Step G

  • If the engine does not crank and the display indicates “N”, go to Start Enable Relay Contact Test.

    Note: If the engine was shut off with the transmission in gear, confirm the vehicle parking brake is set and service brake is depressed when attempting to start the engine.

D
Purpose:Verify the transmission engages a gear from neutral.
  1. Key on with engine running.

  2. Depress and hold the service brake.

  3. Select a forward and reverse mode from neutral.

  • If the transmission engages a gear, re-select neutral mode. Go to Step E

  • If the display indicates “F” during the mode selection and/or engagement of a gear, re-select neutral mode. Retrieve fault code(s) with ServiceRanger, Go to Step G

  • If the transmission does not engage a gear and the display indicates “N”, re-select neutral mode and go to the Brake Switch Functionality Test

E
Purpose:Operate vehicle (road test) and attempt to duplicate the vehicle symptom.
  1. Drive or operate the vehicle (road test), attempt to duplicate the vehicle symptom and set a fault code under the conditions reported in the Driver Questionnaire.

    Note: Inactive fault codes with a timestamp greater than 100 hours (100h 00m) indicates the condition may have been resolved.

  • If the symptom was duplicated and/or the display indicated “F”, Go to Step F

  • If the symptom was not duplicated, no problem was found. Contact Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies for further diagnostic instructions. For Help Line phone numbers, go to Contact Information.

F
Purpose:Check for Active or Inactive fault codes.
  1. Set vehicle parking brake and chock wheels.

  2. Key off and allow the TCM to perform a complete power down.

  3. Key on.

  • If a fault code did not set during the road test and the symptom was duplicated, go to the Transmission Shift Complaint.

G
Purpose:Prioritize fault codes for troubleshooting.
  1. Determine the fault code to troubleshoot first by using the priority index below (with 1 highest priority and 4 least priority).

    • Priority 1: Vehicle Interface Fault Codes 100-199
    • Priority 2: Component Fault Codes 200-499
    • Priority 3: System Fault Codes 500-899
    • Priority 4: Feature Fault Codes 900-999
  2. Go to the Fault Code Isolation Procedure Index and troubleshoot the fault code with the highest priority level.

  • If more than one fault code within a level applies, troubleshoot Active fault codes before Inactive fault codes.

  • If only Inactive fault codes are present, troubleshoot the fault code that has the highest occurrence count or most recent timestamp.

  • If no fault codes are found, match the vehicle symptom to the appropriate item in the Symptom-Driven Diagnostics Index
