Fault Code 705: Transmission Clutch Actuator

J1939: SA 3 SPN 788 FMI 12, 14

Overview

The Endurant XD Series transmissions are equipped with solenoid valves that direct vehicle Supply Air to and from the Linear Clutch Actuator (LCA) to control clutch position. A position sensor monitors clutch position and provides the information to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) for the purpose of making clutch engagement or disengagement decisions. The TCM compares the clutch command, clutch position and input shaft speed to ensure the transmission is operating properly.

The LCA is mounted to the Mechatronic Transmission Module (MTM). The solenoids and position sensor are located in the MTM and connected to the TCM at the 74-Way Transmission Harness Connector.

Detection

The TCM monitors clutch operation. 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 as expected based on operating conditions.
