Fault Code 100: Battery Voltage1

J1939: SA 3 SPN 168 FMI 0, 1, 4, 17, 18

Overview

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) requires a battery power and ground supply. The TCM has redundant power and ground sources (Battery Voltage1 and Battery Voltage2) and will function normally if either source becomes unavailable. The Battery Voltage1 circuit is contained within the 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector.

Detection

The TCM monitors Battery Voltage1 power and ground source. If the system detects voltage out of range, the fault is set active.

Conditions to Set Fault Code Active

FMI 0 – Data Valid But Above Normal (Most Severe): Battery Voltage1 more than 16.5V for 1 second.

FMI 1 – Data Valid But Below Normal (Most Severe): Battery Voltage1 less than 8V for 1 second.

FMI 4 – Voltage Below Normal or Shorted Low: Battery Voltage1 less than 4V during power up.

FMI 17 – Data Valid But Below Normal (Least Severe): Battery Voltage1 less than 11V for 1 second with engine above 1000 RPM.

FMI 18 – Data Valid But Below Normal (Moderately Severe): Battery Voltage1 less than 10.2V for 1 second with engine above 550 RPM.

Fallback

FMI 0:

  • No degraded performance

FMI 1, 18:

  • Amber warning lamp on
  • No degraded performance
  • If Fault Code 100 and 105 are Active:
    • Non neutral modes prohibited
    • PTO Mode prohibited
  • If Fault Code 100 and 105 are Active and the vehicle is moving:
    • Red stop lamp on
    • Clutch engagement prohibited, vehicle may coast to a stop

FMI 4, 17:

  • Amber warning lamp on
  • No degraded performance

Conditions to Set Fault Code Inactive

FMI 0, 1, 17, 18: Battery Voltage1 in range for 10 seconds.

FMI 4: Key cycle.

Possible Causes

FMI 0:

  • Vehicle jump-started
  • Vehicle charging/battery system failure

FMI 1, 4, 17, 18:

  • Vehicle Harness
    • Wiring shorted to power, shorted to ground or open

Fault Code 100 Troubleshooting

A
Purpose:Check for Active or Inactive fault codes.

  1. Set vehicle parking brake and chock wheels.

  2. Perform the Diagnostic Procedure and create a Service Activity Report.

    Notice
    A Service Activity Report is required for transmission and clutch warranty claims. Reference Service Bulletin TAIB-1012.

  3. Review fault code, status, description, ID, FMI, count and timestamp recorded during the Diagnostic Procedure.

    Notice
    Do not troubleshoot Inactive fault codes with a timestamp greater than 100 hours (100h 00m). The duration since fault code set implies the condition has been resolved.

  • If Fault Code 100 is Inactive and there are other Active vehicle or transmission fault codes, troubleshoot all Active fault codes. Go to Step V

  • If Fault Code 100 FMI 0 is Active, Go to Step G

  • If Fault Code 100 FMI 0 is Inactive, the TCM experienced an over-voltage condition. Vehicle may have been jump-started or vehicle charging/battery system is failing. Refer to OEM guidelines for repair or replacement of the vehicle charging/battery system. Go to Step V

  • If Fault Code 100 FMI 1, 17 or 18 is Active, Go to Step C

  • If Fault Code 100 FMI 1, 17 or 18 is Inactive, Go to Step B

  • If Fault Code 100 FMI 4 is Active or Inactive, create a Service Activity Report, select "Send to Eaton" and contact Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies at 800-826-4357 for further diagnostic instructions. Go to Step V.

B
Purpose:Use Product Diagnostic (PD) Test to locate intermittent failures.

  1. Key on with engine off.

  2. Connect ServiceRanger.

  3. Go To “Service Routines”

  4. Start Product Diagnostic Test and follow on-screen prompts.

    Note: Solid “PD” may appear in display when PD Test is active.

    Note: TCM will not enter PD Test mode when there are Active fault code.

  5. Wiggle the vehicle harness and connections between the charging/battery system and 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector. Look for signs of rubbing or chafing on the wires. Refer to OEM wiring diagrams.

  6. To end the test, press the stop button.

  • If fault codes set Active while wiggling the vehicle harness, refer to OEM guidelines for repair or replacement of the vehicle harness and/or the 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector. Go to Step V

  • If no fault codes become Active, Go to Step C

C
Purpose:Verify Battery Voltage1 supply to the TCM with ServiceRanger.

  1. Key on with engine off.

  2. Connect ServiceRanger.

  3. Go To “Data Monitor”.

  4. From the “Default Parameter Files” tab, select “Transmission Supplied Voltages”.

  5. Monitor 168 - Battery voltage value. Record reading in table.

  6. Monitor 444 - Battery 2 voltage value. Record reading in table.

  7. Compare reading(s) in table.

  • If readings are out of range, Go to Step D

  • If readings are in range, no fault was found. The intermittent nature of the fault makes it likely that the problem is in the Vehicle Harness between the charging/battery system and 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector. Refer to OEM guidelines for repair or replacement of the Vehicle Harness and/or 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector. Go to Step V
