Fault Code 350: Input Speed

J1939: SA 3 SPN 161 FMI 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 14, 20, 21

Overview

The Endurant XD Series transmissions are equipped with speed sensors to monitor: Input, Countershaft and Output speeds. The speed sensors provide rotational speed inputs to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) for the purpose of verifying clutch engagement, making shift decisions, and confirming gear engagements. The Input Speed Sensor measures the rotational speed of the Input Shaft. The Input and Countershaft speed sensors are located in the Mechatronic Transmission Module (MTM) and are connected to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) at the 74-Way Transmission Harness Connector.

Detection

The TCM monitors the Input Speed Sensor signal. If a system failure is detected, the fault is set Active.

Conditions to Set Fault Code Active

FMI 2 – Data Erratic: Input Speed Sensor signal out of range for 5 seconds.

FMI 3 – Voltage Above Normal or Shorted High: Input Speed Sensor circuit shorted to power for 5 seconds.

FMI 4 – Voltage Below Normal or Shorted Low: Input Speed Sensor circuit shorted to ground for 5 seconds.

FMI 5 – Current Below Normal or Open Circuit: Input Speed Sensor circuit open or shorted to power for 5 seconds.

FMI 6 – Current Above Normal or Shorted Circuit: Input Speed Sensor circuit supply voltage out of normal operating range (4.75V to 5.25V) for 5 seconds.

FMI 8 – Abnormal Frequency: Input Speed Sensor signal frequency out of range for 5 seconds.

FMI 9 – Abnormal Update Rate: Input Speed Sensor speed direction unknown for 5 seconds.

FMI 10 – Abnormal Rate of Change: Input Speed Sensor signal rate of change exceeded for 2 seconds.

FMI 14 – Special Instructions: Input Speed value out of range (near 0 RPM) when compared to calculated input speeds based on known Engine, Countershaft, and Output speeds and gear ratio, for 5 seconds.

FMI 20 – Data Drifted High: Input Speed value greater than expected when compared to calculated input speeds based on known Engine, Countershaft, and Output speeds and gear ratio, for 2 seconds.

FMI 21 – Data Drifted Low: Input Speed value less than expected when compared to calculated input speeds based on known Engine, Countershaft, and Output speeds and gear ratio, for 2 seconds.
