The Endurant HD transmission is equipped with a Linear Clutch Actuator (LCA) Position Sensor to monitor clutch position. The LCA is mounted in the Mechatronic Transmission Module (MTM) and pneumatically controls the clutch position. The LCA is equipped with a magnet that the position sensor uses to detect the proximity of the LCA to determine clutch position. The LCA Position Sensor is located in the MTM and connected to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) at the 74-Way Transmission Harness Connector.
The TCM monitors the LCA Position Sensor signal. If a system failure or uncommanded movement is detected, the fault is set Active.
FMI 0 - Data Valid But Above Normal (Most Severe): Clutch position signal indicates uncommanded movement toward engagement position for 2 seconds.
FMI 1 - Data Valid But Below Normal (Most Severe): Clutch position signal indicates uncommanded movement toward disengagement position for 2 seconds.
FMI 2 – Data Erratic: LCA position out of range for 1 second.
FMI 3 – Voltage Above Normal or Shorted High: LCA Position Sensor circuit shorted to power for 1 second.

FMI 8 – Abnormal Frequency: LCA Position Sensor signal abnormal pulse width for 1 second.
FMI 9 - Abnormal Update Rate: LCA Position Sensor magnet not detected for 1 second.
FMI 12 – Bad Intelligent Device: LCA Position Sensor internal self-check failure for 1 second.
FMI 13 – Out Of Calibration: LCA Position Sensor calibration required.
FMI 14 – Special Instructions: Incorrect LCA position command relative to torque command.
FMI 15 - Data Valid But Above Normal (Least Severe): During the clutch calibration the expected Torque Transfer Touch Point clutch position was not achieved.
FMI 16 – Data Valid But Above Normal (Moderately Severe): During the clutch calibration the expected Torque Transfer Touch Point clutch position was not available.
FMI 17 – Data Valid But Below Normal (Least Severe): During the clutch calibration the expected 10 Nm torque transfer clutch position was not achieved.
FMI 18 – Data Valid But Below Normal (Moderately Severe): During the clutch calibration the expected 10 Nm torque transfer clutch position was not available.
FMI 20 – Data Drifted High: LCA Position Sensor incorrectly reports the clutch is released (opened).
FMI 31 – Condition Exists: LCA Position Sensor incorrectly reports clutch is disengaged near engine idle when torque is elevated and parking brake is applied.
