Fault Code 135: Primary Shift Device (J1939)

J1939: SA 3 SPN 751 FMI 2, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19

Overview

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is configured to accept Primary Shift Device messages from the transmission driver interface device over the Primary Data Link (J1939A). This information is used to determine transmission operation.

A Secondary Shift Device request signal from the transmission driver interface device is also provided on a separate hardwired circuit. The Secondary Shift Device request signal allows a driver to engage the transmission into a Shift Mode in the event the Primary Shift Device message is not available.

The Primary Data Link (J1939A), transmission driver interface device, and Secondary Shift Device hardwired circuit and wiring are installed by the OEM and connect to the TCM through the 20-Way TCM Vehicle Harness Connector.

Detection

The TCM monitors Primary Shift Device messages. If messages are not received or are invalid, the fault is set Active.

Conditions to Set Fault Code Active

FMI 2 – Data Erratic: Primary Shift Device message out of range for 5 seconds.

FMI 9 – Abnormal Update Rate: Primary Shift Device message not received for 5 seconds.

FMI 11 – Root Cause Unknown: Primary and Secondary Shift Device values do not match for 1 second.

FMI 12 – Bad Intelligent Device: Primary Shift Device request in opposite direction of vehicle travel at a speed greater than allowable shuttle shifting speed.

FMI 13 – Out Of Calibration: Primary Shift Device message not available for 5 seconds.

FMI 14 – Special Instructions: Delayed gear engagement after shift mode change.

FMI 19 – Received Network Data In Error: Primary Shift Device messages invalid for 5 seconds.
