Fault Code 705: Transmission Clutch Actuator

J1939: SA 3 SPN 788 FMI 12, 14

Overview

The Endurant HD transmission 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 vehicle inputs, clutch command, clutch position and input shaft speed to ensure proper clutch operation. The Linear Clutch Actuator (LCA) is mounted to the Mechatronic Transmission Module (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 Transmission Clutch Actuator. If a system failure is detected, the fault is set active.

Conditions to Set Fault Code Active

FMI 12 – Bad Intelligent Device: TCM did not prohibit Creep Mode when expected based on the operating conditions.

FMI 14 – Special Instructions: TCM did not release/open the clutch when expected based on the operating conditions.
