Fault Code 143: Transmission Primary Shift Down Selector

J1939: SA 3 SPN 3653 FMI 2, 9, 10, 11, 13, 19, 31

Overview

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) receives the vehicle’s Primary Automated Driving System (ADS) Transmission Requested Gear message from the vehicle ADS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) over the Primary Data Link (J1939A). This information is used to verify the transmission Shift Mode from the transmission driver interface device to the vehicle ADS ECU.

The TCM also receives a Secondary Automated Driving System (ADS) Transmission Requested Gear message from the vehicle ADS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) over the Primary Data Link (J1939A). This redundancy allows the TCM to maintain transmission function in a degraded mode in the event either message is not available.

Detection

The TCM monitors Primary ADS Transmission Requested Gear messages. If messages are not received or are invalid, the fault is set Active.

Conditions to Set Fault Code Active

FMI 2 – Data Erratic: Primary ADS Transmission Requested Gear messages out of range for 5 seconds.

FMI 9 – Abnormal Update Rate: Primary ADS Transmission Requested Gear message not received for 5 seconds.

FMI 10 - Abnormal Rate of Change: Primary ADS Transmission Requested Gear message error for 5 seconds.

FMI 11 – Root Cause Unknown: Primary ADS Transmission Requested Gear message not received for 5 seconds.

FMI 13 – Out Of Calibration: Primary ADS Transmission Requested Gear messages not available for 5 seconds.

FMI 19 – Received Network Data In Error: Primary ADS Transmission Requested Gear messages invalid for 5 seconds.

FMI 31 - Condition Exists: Primary ADS Transmission Requested Gear message error for 5 seconds.

Fallback

All FMIs:

  • Amber warning lamp on
  • ADS operation prohibited

Conditions to Set Fault Code Inactive

All FMIs: Primary ADS Transmission Requested Gear messages received and valid for 10 seconds.

Possible Causes
