Fault Code 145: Secondary Shift Device (PWM)

J1939: SA 3 SPN 752 FMI 2, 4, 5, 8, 12, 13, 14

Overview

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is configured to accept Primary Shift Device messages from the transmission driver interface device over the Primary Data Link (J1939A). This information is used to determine transmission operation. A Secondary Shift Device request signal from the transmission driver interface device is also provided on a separate hardwired circuit. The Secondary Shift Device request signal allows a driver to engage the transmission into a Shift Mode in the event the Primary Shift Device message is not available. The Primary Data Link (J1939A), transmission driver interface device, and Secondary Shift Device hardwired circuit and wiring are installed by the OEM and connect to the TCM through the 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector.

Note: Freightliner chassis (OEM Supplied Driver Interface Device) does not have a secondary shift device and must be configured (ACN 19) to J1939 CAN Device (w/o secondary).

Detection

The TCM monitors the Secondary Shift Device request signal. If the signal is not received or invalid, the fault is set Active.

Conditions to Set Fault Code Active

FMI 2 – Data Erratic: Secondary Shift Device request signal value out of range for 5 seconds.

FMI 4 – Voltage Below Normal or Shorted Low: Secondary Shift Device request circuit shorted to ground for 5 seconds.

FMI 5 – Current Below Normal or Open Circuit: Secondary Shift Device request circuit shorted to power or open for 5 seconds.

FMI 8 – Abnormal Frequency: Secondary Shift Device request signal frequency out of range for 5 seconds.

FMI 12 – Bad Intelligent Device: Inappropriate acceptance of non-Neutral Shift Mode without Service Brake depressed.

FMI 13 – Out of Calibration: Driver Interface Device incorrectly configured.

FMI 14 – Special Instructions: Delayed gear engagement after Shift Mode change.

Fault Code 145 Troubleshooting

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

  2. Record the transmission fault codes, FMIs, occurrences, and timestamps from the Service Activity Report created during the Diagnostic Procedure.

  • If Fault Code 145 is Inactive and there are other Active vehicle or transmission fault codes, troubleshoot all Active fault codes.Go to Step V

  • If Fault Code 145 FMI 4 and Fault Code 210 FMI 4 are both set Active or Inactive, troubleshoot per Fault Code 210: Transmission Oil Pressure (Fluid Pressure Sensor).

  • If Fault Code 145 FMI 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 is Inactive, Go to Step B

  • If Fault Code 145 FMI 5 is Active and OEM is Freightliner or Western Star, connect ServiceRanger, Go To Configuration, select Vehicle and configure Driver Interface Device to J1939 CAN Device (Freightliner and Western Star only). Process complete.

  • If Fault Code 145 FMI 5 is Active in an OEM other than Freightliner, Go to Step C.

  • If Fault Code 145 FMI 2, 3, 4, 8 is Active, Go to Step C

  • If Fault Code 145 FMI 13 is Active, configure Driver Interface Device using ServiceRanger. Test complete.

  • If Fault Code 145 FMI 13 is Inactive, Driver Interface Device is configured. Test complete.

  • If Fault Code 145 FMI 12 is Active or Inactive, Contact Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies for further diagnostic instructions. For Help Line phone numbers, go to Contact Information. Go to Step V
