Fault Code 701: Clutch Engagement Status

J1939 SA 3 SPN 7847 FMI 14, 31

Overview

The Mechatronic Transmission Module (MTM) is equipped with solenoids to direct pneumatic flow to actuate the clutch and a sensor to monitor clutch position. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) compares the clutch command, clutch position and input shaft speed to ensure proper clutch operation. The Linear Clutch Actuator (LCA) is mounted to the MTM. The solenoids and sensors are located in the MTM and connected to the TCM at the 74-Way Transmission Harness Connector.

Detection

The TCM monitors the Clutch Engagement Status. If a system failure is detected, the fault is set active.

Conditions to Set Fault Code Active
