Fault Code 706: Clutch Position Out of Range

J1939: SA 3 SPN 2983 FMI 17, 18

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 the clutch command, clutch position - Full Exhaust Position (FEP) 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 clutch position. If a system failure is detected, the fault is set active.

Conditions to Set Fault Code Active

FMI 17 – Data Valid but Below Normal (Least Severe): After 1,000 clutch actuations, clutch calculated FEP is above 36 mm after more than 10 actuations during a key cycle.

FMI 18 – Data Valid but Below Normal (Moderately Severe): After 1,000 clutch actuations, clutch calculated FEP is above 38 mm after more than 10 actuations during a key cycle.
