J1939: SA 3 SPN 6147 FMI 0, 1, 2, 7, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21

Overview

The Mechatronic Transmission Module (MTM) is equipped with solenoids to direct pneumatic flow to actuate shift rails and sensors to monitor rail positions. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) compares the rail command and position to ensure proper rail operation. The solenoids, positions sensors and shift rails are located in the MTM and connected to the TCM at the 74-Way Transmission Harness Connector.

Detection

The TCM monitors the Rail D Operation. If a system failure is detected, the fault is set active.

Conditions to Set Fault Code Active

FMI 0 – Data Valid But Above Normal (Most Severe): Rail D is unable to disengage the Primary Driven Gear, move aft, for 2 seconds.

FMI 1 – Data Valid But Below Normal (Most Severe): Rail D is unable to disengage the Reverse Gear, move fore, for 2 seconds.

FMI 2 – Data Erratic: Rail D is unable to move the sliding clutch to neutral during a rail calibration.

FMI 7 – Mechanical System Not Responding: Rail D is unable move from neutral toward the Primary Driven Gear for 2 seconds.

FMI 10 – Abnormal Rate of Change: Rail D is unable to confirm low rail speed velocity during a rail calibration.

FMI 14 – Special Instructions: Rail D is unable to move from neutral toward the Reverse Gear for 2 seconds.

FMI 15 – Data Valid but Above Normal (Least Severe): Rail D is unable to fully engage the Primary Driven Gear for 2 seconds.

FMI 16 - Data Valid but Above Normal (Moderately Severe): Rail D is unable to achieve neutral from the Primary Driven Gear for 2 seconds.

FMI 17 – Data Valid but Below Normal (Least Severe): Rail D is unable to fully engage the Reverse Gear for 2 seconds.

FMI 18 – Data Valid but Below Normal (Moderately Severe): Rail D is unable to achieve neutral from the Reverse Gear for 2 seconds.

FMI 20 – Data Drifted High: Rail D travel was greater than expected during a rail calibration.

FMI 21 – Data Drifted Low: Rail D travel was less than expected during a rail calibration.

Fault Code 775 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 775 FMI 0, is Active or Inactive, Go to Step B

  • If Fault Code 775 FMI 1, is Active or Inactive, Go to Step C

  • If Fault Code 775 FMI 2, 7, 10, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21 is Active or Inactive, Go to Step D

  • If Fault Code 775 FMI 15, 17 is Active or Inactivez, go to TAIB-1004 Fault Code 775 Rail D Operation FMI 15/17 - Endurant HD.

Purpose:Inspect for a Transmission PTO.
  1. Inspect for a transmission mounted PTO.

  • If transmission is not equipped with a PTO, Go to Step C

  • If transmission is equipped with a PTO:

    • Verify PTO operation and installation: Properly wired and configured in TCM.

    Note: After PTO inspection: -If PTO issue is found repair as needed, refer to TRIG2610 Endurant HD PTO Installation Guide. Recheck for fault codes. -If no PTO issue found, go to Step C .
