Fault Code 717: Transmission Requested Gear

J1939: SA 3 SPN 525 FMI 12

Overview

The Endurant XD Series transmissions are equipped with position sensors to monitor shift rail positions and speed sensors to monitor shaft speeds.

The sensor information is provided to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) for the purpose of making shift decisions, confirming gear engagement, and monitoring shift rail positions. The TCM compares the shift rail commands to the shift rail positions and shaft speeds (ratio calculation) to ensure the transmission is operating properly.

The sensors and shift rails are located in the Mechatronic Transmission Module (MTM) and connected to the TCM at the 74-Way Transmission Harness Connector.

Detection

The TCM monitors the transmission operation. If a system failure is detected, the fault is set Active.
