The ECU (Figure 1–3) contains the microcomputer which is the brain of the control system. The ECU receives and
processes information defining: shift selector position, throttle position, sump temperature, input speed, turbine
speed, and transmission output speed. The ECU uses the information to control transmission solenoids and valves,
supply system status, and provide diagnostic information.
Each ECU has a date code stamped on the label which is attached to the outer case of the ECU. This is the date
when the ECU passed final test. This date is commonly used to denote the change configuration level of the ECU.
It is normal for the ECU date displayed electronically to be a few days prior to the date shown on the label.

1–3.SHIFT SELECTOR
Pushbutton and lever shift selectors for CEC 2 are remote mounted from the ECU and connected to the ECU by a
wiring harness. Both of these shift selectors have a single digit LED display and a mode indicator LED. During
normal transmission operation, illumination of the LED indicator shows that a secondary or special operating
condition has been selected by pressing the MODE button. During diagnostic display mode, illumination of the
LED indicator shows that the displayed diagnostic code is active. Display brightness is regulated by the same
vehicle potentiometer that controls dash light display brightness. More information on both types of shift selectors
is continued below.
A.Pushbutton Shift Selector (Figure 1–4)
There is a full-function pushbutton shift selector. A full-function shift selector has a MODE button
and diagnostic display capability through the single digit LED display. The full-function pushbutton
shift selector has six (6) pushbuttons which are R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), ⇓ (Down),
(Up), and MODE. Manual forward range downshifts and upshifts are made by pressing the
(Down) or ⇑ (Up) arrow buttons after selecting D (Drive). The N (Neutral) button has a raised lip to
aid in finding it by touch. The MODE button is pressed to select a secondary or special operating
condition, such as ECONOMY shift schedule. Diagnostic information is obtained by pressing the
The lever shift selector can have as many as six forward range positions, as well as two R (Reverse)
positions (R1 and R2) and N (Neutral). There is a hold override button which must be pressed and
held in order to move between certain selector positions. The hold override button must be pressed
when shifting between R, N, and D. The hold override button is released when the desired selector
position is reached. The selector lever can be moved freely between D and the numbered forward
ranges without pressing the hold override button. The lever selector can be chosen with the lever on
the left side or on the right side and with the R (Reverse) position toward the front or toward the rear
of the selector. Diagnostic information is obtained from the single digit LED display by pressing the
“display mode” button.

1–4.THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (Figure 1–6)
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) can be mounted to the engine, chassis, or transmission. The TPS contains a pull
actuation cable and a potentiometer. One end of the cable is attached to the engine fuel lever and the other , inside a
protective housing, to the TPS potentiometer. Output voltage from the TPS is directed to the ECU through the
external harness. The voltage signal indicates the throttle position and, in combination with other input data,
determines shift timing.
Three speed sensors — input speed, turbine speed, and output speed — provide information to the ECU. The input
speed signal is generated by the gear teeth on the top PTO gear . The turbine speed signal is generated by serrations
on the pitot can attached to the splitter low drum. The output speed signal is generated by a toothed member
attached to the output shaft. The speed ratios between the various speed sensors allow the ECU to determine if the
transmission is in the selected range. Hydraulic problems are detected by comparing the speed sensor information
for the current range to that range’s speed sensor information stored in the ECU memory.
The CEC 2 electro-hydraulic valve bodies contain v arious solenoids to control the absence or presence of solenoid
pressure. Solenoid pressure, or lack of pressure, positions shift valves which apply or release transmission clutches
to produce the range commanded by the ECU inputs. The ECU is connected to the solenoids by a wiring harness
with sealed multi-pin twist-lock connectors at the control valve bodies.

1–7.WIRING HARNESSES
A.External Wiring Harness (Figure 1–9)
CEC 2 uses three external wiring harnesses to provide a connection between the ECU, the
transmission (including input, turbine, and output speed sensors), the throttle position sensor, the
vehicle interface module (VIM), shift selectors, diagnostic tool connector, and vehicle interface. The
transmission harness may include a bulkhead fitting to separate cab and chassis components.

Use this manual as an aid to troubleshooting CEC 2. Every possible problem and its solution cannot be
encompassed by any manual. Howe ver , this manual does pro vide a starting point from which most problems can be
resolved.
3–3.SYSTEM OVERVIEW
CEC 2 functions are controlled by the ECU. The ECU reads shift selector range selection, output speed, and
throttle position to determine when to command a shift. When a shift occurs, the ECU monitors turbine speed,
output speed, and throttle position during the shift.
When the ECU detects an electrical fault, it logs a diagnostic code indicating the faulty circuit and may alter the
transmission operation to prevent or reduce damage.
When the ECU detects a non-electrical problem while trying to make a shift, the ECU may try that shift a second or
third time before setting a diagnostic code. Once that shift has been retried, and a fault is still detected, the ECU
sets a diagnostic code and holds the transmission in a lock-to-range mode of operation.
3–4.IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN THE TROUBLESHOOTING PROCESS
Before beginning the troubleshooting process, read and understand the following:
•
CEC 2 wire identification presents the wire number followed by the ECU terminal source
(i.e., 157-S30). If there is a letter suffix following the wire number, there is a splice between the ECU
source and wire destination (i.e., 116A-T19).
•
Shut off the engine and ignition before any harness connectors are disconnected or connected.
•
Remember to do the following when checking for shorts and opens:
Shorts: Minimize movement of wiring harnesses when looking for shorts. Shorts involve wire-to-
—
wire or wire-to-ground contacts and moving the harnesses may eliminate the problem.
—
Opens: Wiggle connectors, harnesses, and splices when looking for opens. This simulates vehicle
movements which occur during actual operation.
•
When disconnecting a harness connector, be sure that pulling force is applied to the connector itself and
not the wires extending from the connector.
•
Resistance checks involving the wiring between the ECU connectors and other components adds about
one ohm of resistance to the component resistance shown.
•
Inspect all connector terminals for damage. Terminals may have bent or lost the necessary tension to
maintain firm contact.
•
Clean dirty terminals or connectors with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab, or a good quality, nonresidue, non-lubricating, cleaning solvent such as LPS Electro Contact Cleaner
Electro Contact Cleaner
The cleaning solvent must not be chlorine based, contain petroleum distillates, or conduct
electricity. The cleaning solvent should evaporate quickly to prevent the possibility of

condensation within the connectors. Always blow or shake any excess cleaner from the
connector before assembling it to its mating connector or hardware. Cleaner trapped in the
connector can affect the connector seal. (Refer to SIL 17-TR-94 for detailed information
on the recommended cleaners.)

3–5.BEGINNING THE TROUBLESHOO TING PROCESS
1.Begin troubleshooting by checking the transmission fluid level and ECU input voltage. Remember
that some problems may be temperature related. Do troubleshooting at the temperature level where
the problem occurs. Check diagnostic codes by:
•
Using the shift selector display. (See Paragraph 5–2 for code reading.)
Using the Pro-Link
•
2.When a problem exists but a diagnostic code is not indicated, refer to the Performance Complaint
Section (Section 8) for a listing of various electrical and hydraulic problems, their causes, and remedies.

5.If all connectors are clean and connected correctly, determine which wires in the chassis harness are
indicated by the diagnostic code. For example, Code 45 12, indicates a failure in the F solenoid
circuit — wires 102-T1 and 120-T4.
a. Check continuity of wires 102-T1 and 120-T4 by performing the following (refer to Figure 4–1):
(1) Disconnect the blue “T” connector from the ECU and disconnect the harness from the
transmission main connector. At one end of the harness, using jumper wire kit J 39197 and
connector probes in J 39775-CP, connect wire 102-T1 and 120-T4 to each other, being careful
not to distort the terminals. Jumping the wires together creates a circuit between wires 102-T1
and 120-T4.
(2) On the opposite end of the harness, check the continuity of the jumpered pair. No continuity in a
jumpered pair circuit (infinite resistance reading) indicates an open in the wire being tested.
Locate and repair the damaged portion of the wire.
b. If the continuity check is good (0–2 Ohms resistance), remove the jumpers. Check the harness for
shorts between wires and shorts-to-ground by performing the following (refer to Figure 4–2):
(1) At the ECU end of the harness, touch one VOM probe to one wire of the circuit being tested
and touch the other probe to each terminal in the same connector, then touch the probe to chassis ground and to the transmission main housing. Do this for both wires in the circuit being
tested.
(2) If at any time the VOM shows zero to low resistance, or the meter’s continuity beeper sounds,
there is a short between the two points being probed — wire-to-wire or wire-to-ground. Isolate
and repair the short.

4–2.CHECKING AT TRANSMISSION CONNECTOR AND THE INTERNAL HARNESS
FOR OPENS, SHORTS BETWEEN WIRES, AND SHORTS-TO-GROUND
1.Disconnect the external wiring harness from the transmission.
2.Inspect the connectors. Any terminals which are corroded or dirty must be thoroughly cleaned.
3.If the connectors are clean and connected correctly, determine which wires in the harness to test.
Use the diagnostic code system schematic to locate the wire terminals. For this example, Code 45 12
indicates a failure in the F solenoid circuit — wires 102-T1 and 120-T4 (refer to Figure 4–3 and 4–4).
The cleaning solvent must not be chlorine based, contain petroleum distillates, or
conduct electricity. The cleaning solvent should evaporate quickly to prevent the
CAUTION:
NOTE:Resistance of all solenoids (except J on 5610, 6610 models only) should be 12–24 Ohms. Solenoid J

possibility of condensation within the connectors. Always blow or shake any excess
cleaner from the connector before assembling it to its mating connector or hardware.
Cleaner trapped in the connector can affect the connector seal. (Refer to SIL 17-TR-94
for detailed information on the recommended cleaners.)
Resistance of the solenoid circuit should be 12–24 Ohms. No continuity in the circuit (infinite
resistance) indicates an open in the internal harness, the feedthrough connector, or the solenoid
coil. Locate and repair the open in the internal harness or replace the internal harness, replace the
feedthrough connector, or replace the solenoid.

(2) If the VOM shows zero to low resistance, or the continuity beeper sounds, there is a short
between the two points being probed, wire-to-wire or wire-to-ground. An indication of a short
may be caused by a splice to the wire being checked. Check the wiring diagram in Appendix G
for splice locations. If the short is not a splice, then isolate and repair the short.
Diagnostic codes are logged in a list in memory (sometimes referred to as the queue), listing the most recently
occurring code first and logging up to five codes. The codes contained in the list have information recorded as
shown in the table below (codes are examples). Access to the code list position, main code, subcode and active
indicator is through either the shift selector display or the Pro-Link® diagnostic tool. Access to ignition cycle
counter and event counter information is through the diagnostic tool only. Further detail on the use of

5–2.CODE READING AND CODE CLEARING
Diagnostic codes can be read and cleared by two methods: by using the Pro-Link® 9000 diagnostic tool or by
entering the diagnostic display mode and using the shift selector display . The use of the Pro-Link
tool is described in the instruction manual furnished with each tool and briefly in Appendix J of this manual. The
method of reading and clearing codes described in this section refers to entering the diagnostic display mode by the
proper button movements on the shift selector.
The diagnostic display mode may be entered for viewing of codes at any speed. Active codes can only be cleared
when the output speed = 0 and no output speed sensor failure is active.
A.Reading Codes. Enter the diagnostic display mode by pressing the ⇑ (Up) and ⇓ (Down) arrow
buttons at the same time on a pushbutton selector, or by momentarily pressing the “display mode”
button on a lever shift selector.
NOTE: If a DO NOT SHIFT condition is present (CHECK TRANS light illuminated) at this time, the shift
selector may or may not respond to requested range changes.
The code list or queue position is the first item displayed, followed by the main code and the subcode. Each item is
displayed for about one second. The display cycles continuously until the next code list position is accessed by
pressing the
MODE
button. The following list represents the display cycle using code 25 11 as an example:
1. Code list position — d,
2. Main code — 2,
3. Subcode —1,
4. Cycle repeats — d, 1, 2, 5, 1,
To view the second, third, fourth, and fifth positions (d2, d3, d4, and d5), momentarily press the

1. Enter the diagnostic display mode.
2. Press and hold the MODE button for approximately three seconds until the LED indicator flashes.
All active indicators are cleared. To remove all inactive codes, press and hold the MODE button
for about ten seconds until the LED indicator flashes again.All active indicators will be cleared at
ECU power down.
3. Codes that cannot be manually cleared will remain.
D.Exiting the diagnostic display mode. Exit the diagnostic display mode using one of the following
procedures:
1. On a pushbutton shift selector, press the ⇑ (Up) and ⇓ (Down) arrow buttons at the same time or
press any range button, D, N, or R. The shift (D, N, or R) is commanded if not inhibited by an
active code.
2. On a le ver shift selector , momentarily press the “display mode” b utton or mov e the shift lev er to any
shift position other than the one it was in when the diagnostic display mode was activated. If the
shift is inhibited, the ECU will continue to command the current transmission range attained and the
lever should be returned to its original position.
3. Wait until timeout (approximately 10 minutes) and the system will automatically return to the
normal operating mode.
4. Turn off power to the ECU (turn off the vehicle engine at the ignition switch).

B.Wire/Terminal Numbering Scheme
CEC 2 wire identification presents the wire number followed by the ECU terminal source
(i.e., 157-S30). This is done to indicate the ECU connector and terminal origination for CEC 2. If
there is a letter suffix following the wire number, there is a splice between the ECU source and wire
destination (i.e., 116A-T19).
Main code 13 indicates either a high or low input voltage. Low voltage is less than 8 volts. High voltage is over
33 volts.
Common causes for a low voltage code are:
•
Bad batteries
Faulty vehicle charging system
•
•
No dedicated power and ground connection directly to the battery or through an electronic bus bar to the
battery
Common causes for the high voltage code are:
Faulty vehicle alternator
•
•
Faulty vehicle voltage regulator

B.Troubleshooting:
1. Connect the diagnostic tool and turn on vehicle ignition. Select Diagnostic Data to find input
voltage. Record reading.
2. Turn off vehicle ignition and remove the connectors from the ECU.
3. Check system voltage at wire 136A and 136C, pin V1 and V16. If power is low or high at this
point, and the diagnostic tool reading is also low or high, the vehicle wiring is suspect. Check for
fuse problems, lack of battery-direct power and ground, faulty charging system/batteries, and
loose or dirty connections (see Appendix A). Power may also be low or high at pins V1 and V16
(system power) if the batteries/charging system is faulty. Bad grounds may also cause incorrect
input power readings.
4. If power is correct but the diagnostic tool reading indicates incorrect voltage, closely inspect
terminals V1 and V16 or S16; make sure they are not corroded or deformed. Clean or replace as
necessary (see Appendix C, Paragraph 1–1).
5. If the voltage condition is intermittent, closely inspect the vehicle wiring for transmission system
power and grounds. Check for loose, dirty, or painted connections. Check the VIM for loose,
incorrect, or overheating relays or fuses (refer to Appendix E). Check for wires that are chafed and
touching other components.
6. If no other cause is found, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall
the original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works,
inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.
*Wire designation may include a letter suffix which indicates a splice to the same number wire.
See wiring schematic in Appendix G for more detail on splice letter designations.
NOTE: These wires may pass through a bulkhead connector.
The throttle sensor must have been recognized by autodetect or manually selected using the Pro-Link® (see
CEC 2 Pro-Link
®
Manual) before these codes can be logged. See Paragraph 1–9 for further information.
Main code 21 indicates the throttle position sensor has been retracted or extended by its linkage into an error zone.
This may be due to a fault with the sensor, or a fault in the wiring to the sensor or to the ECU. Code 21 12 is set
when the ECU receives TPS counts of 14 or less. Code 21 23 is set when the ECU senses TPS counts of 233–255.
Whenever a code 21 XX condition is detected, the system uses default throttle values.
NOTE:Code 21 XX in conjunction with code 33 XX indicates the potential loss of common ground wire 135
between the throttle and temperature sensor.
Main CodeSubcodeMeaning
2112Throttle position sensor failed low
2123Throttle position sensor failed high
1. Plug in the DDR, select Diagnostic Data, and read throttle counts and percent. If the TPS failed
high (code 21 23), the problem may be toward the full throttle end of the TPS travel. If the TPS
failed low (code 21 12), the problem may be at the closed throttle end of the TPS travel.
NOTE:Code 21 12 may occur when the throttle source is J1587 or J1939 and an analog throttle source is
falsely detected. This condition may be due to a problem in an unused TPS branch of a universal
external harness. To prevent this occurrence, remove wire 156 from the ECU connector and insert a
cavity plug in the space vacated by the wire. Be sure that the unused TPS branch is routed away from
potential induced voltage sources and the connector is protected from external contamination.
NOTE:Code 21 12 can result when the +5V line (wire 124) which powers the analog sensor is shorted to
ground. Wire 124 also powers the shift selector and is present in all three ECU connectors.
2. If counts are high but the percentage never reaches 100 percent, TPS linkage may have bound up
and overstroked the TPS to set a false 100 percent reading. After TPS overstroking ceases, the
TPS will not automatically return to 100 percent. After the TPS is correctly installed and adjusted,
use the Pro-Link
®
to reset throttle calibration or cycle the ignition 5 times to reset the 0 percent
and 100 percent settings. See the TPS section of this book (Appendix D) for installation and adjustment procedures.
3. If the throttle counts do not change or are erratic, check the throttle sensor wiring for opens, shorts
between wires, or shorts-to-ground. Also check for correct TPS voltages using test wiring harness
J 41339. If wiring problems are found, isolate and repair the fault (refer to Appendix C for repair
information).
4. If the wiring is satisfactory , replace the throttle position sensor and adjust its linkage so the counts
are not in the error zones (see Appendix D).
5. If the throttle sensor and its linkage adjustment are correct and the wiring to the sensor is satisfactory, the condition is intermittent. Replace the sensor and properly adjust the new sensor.
6. If the condition recurs, use a spare wire, if available, or provide a new wire (St. Clair P/N 200153
may be used for this purpose) for the throttle sensor circuit. See Appendix C for connector repair
information.
7. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works, inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent condition.
If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.
NOTE:A good throttle position sensor should have resistance of:
(1) 9000–15,000 Ohms across terminals A and C.
DIAGNOSTIC CODES
(2) 500 Ohms, moving to 9000–15,000 Ohms as TPS is moved from the fully retracted to the
fully extended position (measured across terminals A and B).
CODE 22 XX — SPEED SENSOR/CIRCUITRY FAULT (Figure 5–3)
Main code 22 indicates a fault within a speed sensor, the wiring to a speed sensor, incorrect speed sensor gap, or
damaged bumps or teeth which create the speed signal. This fault is determined by the reasonableness of a speed
sensor signal when compared with the other two speed sensors and the commanded range. A speed sensor will not
pass the reasonableness test if there is no signal at all from that sensor when a signal should be present.
NOTE:If the input (engine) speed sensor code (22 14) is active and a range verification test is failed, the range
verification code will not be set but a DO NOT SHIFT response is commanded.
1. Check to see if the sensor is loose, missing, or disconnected. If not, disconnect the wiring harness
from the sensor and measure the resistance of the sensor (see chart below). Also check the terminals for dirt, corrosion, or damage. If resistance is not correct, replace the sensor.
ResistanceTemp ˚CTemp ˚F
200 Ω–40–40
300 Ω2068
400 Ω110230
2. Remove the transmission harness connector from the ECU. Check the sensor circuit (in the external harness) for open wires, shorts between wires, or shorts-to-ground. Isolate and repair any faults
(refer to Appendix C for repair information).
3. If no opens or shorts are found, the condition must be intermittent. Replace the sensor indicated
by the trouble code. Before replacing a speed sensor, check the sensor for physical damage or
contamination. Refer to the appropriate transmission Service Manual for proper replacement
procedure.
4. If the condition recurs, install new wiring (twisted-pair) for the sensor circuit between the ECU
and the transmission. Use St. Clair P/N 200153 Service Harness Twisted Pair for this purpose.
CODE 22 XX — SPEED SENSOR/CIRCUITRY FAULT (Figure 5–3)
5. If the condition again recurs, connect the diagnostic tool and select the speed signal indicated by
the trouble code. Drive the vehicle and w atch the speed reading on the diagnostic tool. If the signal
is erratic, sensor gap, vehicle vibration, an external AC signal source, or intermittent connector
contact may be inducing the erratic signal. Inspect the sensor and its surroundings for irregularities
that would affect sensor gap. Isolate and correct any abnormal vehicle vibrations (particularly
driveline and abnormal engine torsionals, see the Off-Highway Sales Tech Data Book
(SA1861EN), Applications Manual, Section C). Recheck the sensor wiring for intermittent
conditions (see Appendix A).
6. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works,
inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent
condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.
*Wire designation may include a letter suffix which indicates a splice to the same number wire.
See wiring schematic in Appendix G for more detail on splice letter designations.

1. Clear the active indicator for code 23 XX. If code recurs, continue to Step (2).
DIAGNOSTIC CODES
2. Check for a poor connection at the shift selector.
NOTE:Code 23 12 can result when the +5V line (wire 124) which powers the shift selector is shorted to
ground. Wire 124 also powers the TPS and is present in all three ECU connectors.
3. Disconnect the selector “S” harness connector from the ECU and from the shift selector and check
for opens, shorts, and shorts-to-ground between the shift selector and ECU (refer to Section 4).
Repair as needed (refer to Appendix C).
4. If no problem is found with the shift selector connection or wiring, replace the shift selector.
5. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works,
inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent
condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.
Main code 24 indicates the ECU has detected either a high or low fluid temperature in the transmission (via the
sump temperature sensor in the internal lockup valve body harness). All shifts are inhibited when code 24 12 is set
(only Neutral range operation is allowed). No upshifts are allowed above a calibration range when code 24 23 is
set. All inhibits are cleared when the temperature conditions are normal. A related code is 33 12 which indicates a
temperature reading outside the usable range of the sensor and indicates a probable sensor failure.
Detailed troubleshooting information for the sump thermistor is shown in Appendix L.
Main CodeSubcodeMeaning
2412Sump fluid temperature cold
2423Sump fluid temperature hot
1. If the outside temperature is between –25˚F (–32˚C) and +20˚F (–7˚C), the ECU will allow re-
verse, neutral, and limited forward drive operation. Only hold override upshifts are allowed.
(See Table 5–4 on next page.) The sump must be warmed to an acceptable temperature to avoid
logging codes and transmission diagnostic response.
NOTE:Code 24 12 can result when the +5V line (wire 147) which powers the sump temperature sensor is
shorted to ground.
2. After allowing the temperatures to normalize, if ambient temperature does not match the sump
temperature reading (check using diagnostic tool), compare resistance versus sump fluid temperature. Refer to Appendix L. If resistance check is acceptable, then check the sensor wiring for
opens, shorts, or shorts-to-ground.
3. If the sensor wiring is satisfactory, remove the lockup body cover and replace the temperature
sensor which is in the internal lockup harness (refer to appropriate transmission Service Manual).
4. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall
the original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now
works, inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage that may cause an intermittent
condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

Code 24 23:
1. Install temperature gauges for transmission temperature and engine water temperature. Drive the
vehicle. Verify that the code can be reproduced and verify the reading shown on the diagnostic
tool. Observe the gauges and check for hot fluid when the code is produced.
2. If the fluid is not hot when the code is produced, remove the transmission “T” harness connector
at the ECU and the transmission. Check the fluid temperature sensor wiring for opens, shorts,
and shorts-to-ground. Compare the resistance readings of the sensor and the actual temperature
shown on the gauge with the chart information in Figure 5–6. If wiring problems or a great
difference between temperature and resistance compared with the chart are found, remove the
lockup valve body cover and replace the temperature sensor which is part of the internal lockup
harness (refer to the Service Manual for the transmission being checked). If wiring problems are
found, repair or replace as necessary.
3. If the fluid is hot when the code is produced, observe the gauges to see if the engine became hot
before the transmission. If the engine cooling system is overheating and heating the transmission,
the problem is with the engine or its cooling system.
4. If the transmission became hot before the engine, allow the vehicle to idle for 3–5 minutes and
check the transmission fluid level. Correct the fluid level if necessary.
5. If no problems are found in the transmission, remove the transmission and disassemble, inspecting
for causes of overheating (stuck stator, plugged orifices, dragging clutches, etc.). (See the Service
Manual for the transmission being checked.)
CODE 25 XX — OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR, DETECTED AT ZERO SPEED,
X RANGE
Main code 25 occurs if the output speed sensor reports a zero speed reading while both engine and turbine speeds
are approximately equal, turbine speed is above a calibration value, and neutral is not selected or commanded.
Main code 25 indicates either the output speed sensor has failed or the required oncoming clutch or clutches did not
come on. Code 25 11 can be generated by a false turbine speed reading. This may be due to crosstalk between
solenoid and turbine speed sensor circuits caused by direct wire-to-wire short or by water in the electrical
connectors. See Section 4 for corrective action.
NOTE:If code 25 XX is in memory at ECU initialization (ignition on), all display segments are illuminated.

NOTE:Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 5–6. Also, check battery and ECU input voltages.
NOTE:Intermittent connections or lack of battery-direct power and ground connections can cause this and
other codes.
B.Troubleshooting:
1. Check the transmission fluid level and ensure correct fluid level.
2. Check for the presence of code 22 16. If code 22 16 is in the code list, go to code 22 XX section
and follow troubleshooting steps for code 22 16.
3. Connect the Pro-Link® 9000 with ignition on, engine off; check for indication of turbine speed. If
turbine speed is indicated, refer to Paragraph 4–2 for corrective action.
4. This code requires accurate output and turbine speed readings. If there were no transmission problems detected, use the diagnostic tool and watch the speed readings for noise (erratic signals) from
low speed to high speed in the range indicated by the code.
5. If a noisy sensor is found, check the sensor resistance (refer to the sensor resistance chart below)
and check its wiring for opens, shorts, and shorts-to-ground (see code 22 XX). Also closely check
the terminals in the connectors for corrosion, contamination, or damage. Ensure the wiring to the
sensors is a properly twisted wire pair. Remove sensor and check for damage at the tone wheel

8. If the output speed sensor and wiring are satisfactory, install pressure gauges into the appropriate
clutch pressure taps (see appropriate transmission Service Manual) and make the shift again. See if
the clutches have low or no pressure.
9. If a clutch is leaking pressure, remove the valve body and check for damaged valve body gaskets
and stuck or sticky valves. If no problems are found, replace the solenoids for the clutches used in
the range indicated by the code. Refer to the appropriate transmission Service Manual for replacement procedure.
10. If, after detecting leaking pressure and replacing solenoids, the problem persists, check for worn
clutch or piston seals. Remove the transmission and repair or replace as necessary (refer to the
proper transmission Service Manual).
Main code 26 occurs when the ECU has not detected a throttle source. This is a new code related to the autodetect
feature which is described in Paragraph 1–9.
Main CodeSubcodeMeaning
2600Throttle source not detected
Code 26 00 means that the ECU has not detected the presence of engine throttle data or analog circuitry . For details

B.Troubleshooting
1. When code 26 00 is logged and an analog TPS is known to be installed, refer to code 21 XX for
troubleshooting steps. If a J1587 or J1939 throttle signal is used, refer to code 66 00 for troubleshooting steps.
C.Autodetect Feature
Autodetect is active on the first 10
a
engine starts. Autodetect tak es place within the first 5–25
a
seconds
of each engine start monitored. For CEC 2, autodetect searches for the presence of a throttle
information source. Autodetect searches for a TPS (analog) source or a data link source via J1939 or
J1587.
Even after autodetect has been completed, it can be reset to monitor an additional group of engine
starts. Reset may be necessary if a device known to be present is not detected or if an autodetectable
component or sensor was added after the initial vehicle build. Reset is accomplished by using the Pro-
®
Link
. Using a CEC 2 compatible Pro-Link
®
Link
can also be used to override autodetect and manually enter the component or sensor to be

is the only customer modifiable constant (CMC) that is autodetected. Other CMCs can be changed at
any time and are not related to autodetect. Consult the CEC 2 Pro-Link

manual for detailed
instructions related to CEC 2 “customer modifiable constants.” Additional details for the
autodetectable throttle feature is given below.
Whenever autodetect is functioning and no throttle source is found, a code 26 00 is logged. If a

Detailed troubleshooting information for the sump temperature thermistor is shown in Figure 5–9.
Main code 33 indicates the sump temperature sensor is providing a signal outside the usable range of the ECU.
This code indicates the sensor failed showing abnormally high or low temperature readings. Main code 33 can be
caused by a component or circuit failure or by extremely high or low temperatures. There are no operational
inhibits related to main code 33. The ECU assumes a hardware failure and that transmission temperatures are
normal (200ºF; 93ºC). Temperatures above or below normal may cause inhibited range operation.
NOTE:Code 33 23 in conjunction with code 21 23 indicates the loss of common ground (wire 135) between
the throttle and temperature sensors.
Main CodeSubcodeMeaning

ground. If a DDR is not available, use the shift selector display to determine if the code is active
(refer to Paragraph 5–2). Disconnect the transmission “T” harness at the ECU and check resistance
of the sensor and compare with Figure 5–9 or Appendix L.
2. If Step (1) reveals that the extreme temperature indication is no longer present, the temperature
limit could have been reached due to operational or ambient temperature extremes. Also, you may
be experiencing an intermittent problem and the code will not be active. Proceed cautiously, it is
unlikely there is a sensor hardware fault.
3. Disconnect the external harness at the transmission. Check the connectors and terminals for dirt,
corrosion, or damage. Clean or replace as necessary.
4. Check the sensor wires in the external harness for opens (code 33 23), shorts between wires, or
shorts-to-ground (code 33 12 — refer to Section 4). If wiring problems are found, isolate and repair as described in Appendix C.
5. Check for chafing of the sensor wires. Eliminate the chafe point. If no chafe point is found, replace
the sensor (refer to the Transmission Service Manual and Appendix C, Paragraph 1–2 in this
manual).
6. If the problem recurs, use a spare wire, if available, or provide a new wire (St. Clair P/N 200153
may be used for this purpose) for the temperature sensor circuit.
7. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works,
inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent
condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.
NOTE:Copying the current calibration from the ECU and reloading it will not correct the fault. The
calibration must be downloaded directly from PCCS.
B.Troubleshooting:
1. If the code set is 34 14 and it occurs in conjunction with code 35 00 (Power Interruption), proceed
to find the cause for code 35 00 and correct it.
2. After the cause for code 35 00 has been corrected, drive the vehicle to see if code 34 14 recurs. If
code 34 14 recurs, proceed to Step (3).
3. Reprogram the correct calibration. Contact Allison Transmission to do recalibration. Be certain the
calibration and the software level are compatible.
4. If the code recurs after reprogramming, replace the ECU.
5. If the code set is 34 17, reprogram the GPI/GPO package after re-calibration of the ECU.
*Wire designation may include a letter suffix which indicates a splice to the same number wire.
See wiring schematic in Appendix G for more detail on splice letter designations.

this code. A defective charging system, or open battery fuse or fusible link can also cause this
code. The battery fuse or fusible link may be at the battery or in the VIM. Dirty, corroded, or
painted power and ground connections can also cause this code.
3. If all system power and ground connections are satisfactory and the problem persists, replace the
ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the original (bad) ECU to confirm that
the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works, inspect the ECU connectors for any
corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent condition. If the original problem reoccurs,
reinstall the replacement ECU.

When testing the control system with the internal harness connected, the resistance of each solenoid can be
checked using a VOM.
B.Troubleshooting:
1. Check the valve body connector and make sure it is tightly connected. Clean or replace as
necessary (Appendix C).
2. If the connector is connected, clean, and not damaged, check the solenoid circuit in the valve
body for opens. Refer to the system schematic and/or chart to identify wires in the internal harness which are connected. If the open circuit is found, replace the faulty component (see the
transmission Service Manual), and eliminate the open. The fault may be in the solenoid itself.
3. If the open is not found at the transmission connector, disconnect the transmission harness
connector at the ECU and inspect the terminals in the connector and the ECU for damage or
contamination. Clean or replace as necessary. If the terminals are satisfactory, check the wires of
the solenoid circuit in the transmission harness for continuity. If the open is found in one of the
wires, isolate and repair it. If this is not feasible, use a spare wire, if available, or provide a new
wire (St. Clair P/N 200153 may be used for this purpose). See Appendix C for information on
connector/wire repair.
4. If multiple code 45s occur (45 12, 45 13, 45 14, 45 15, 45 22, and 45 24), and wiring and solenoids
check okay, a common solenoid driver is probably failed open.
5. Replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the original (bad) ECU to
confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the problem recurs, reinstall the new ECU to complete
the repair.
6. If code 45 21 occurs repeatedly and the H/J solenoid and wiring checks okay, the solenoid driver
may be failed open. Follow Step (5) above.
7. If codes 45 16, 45 23, and 45 26 occur repeatedly and solenoids and wiring check okay, the solenoid driver may be failed open. Follow Step (5) above.
8. If the open is not found in either the transmission or the harness or the ECU drivers, the condition
must be intermittent.
9. Use a spare wire, if available, or provide a new wire (St. Clair P/N 200153 may be used for this
purpose) for the solenoid circuit indicated by the diagnostic code. See Appendix C for information
on connector assembly/disassembly.
10. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works,
inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent
condition. If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.

CODE 56 XX — RANGE VERIFICATION RATIO TEST (BETWEEN SHIFTS)
Main code 56 indicates a failed range verification speed sensor ratio test. The ratio test occurs after a shift and
determines if a clutch has lost torque carrying capability. If output speed is above programmed output speed for a
range but the correct speed sensor ratio is not present, the

NOTE:Before troubleshooting, read Paragraph 5–6. Also, check battery and ECU input voltages.
NOTE:Intermittent connections or lack of battery-direct power and ground connections may cause this and
other codes.
B.Troubleshooting:
1. After the transmission is at operating temperature, allow vehicle engine to idle on lev el ground for
3–4 minutes. Check the transmission fluid level. If improper fluid level is found, correct as
necessary. Improper fluid level could be the cause of the code. Not enough or too much fluid may
produce inadequate clutch pressure.
2. This code requires accurate output and turbine speed readings. If there were no transmission problems detected, use the diagnostic tool and check the speed sensor signals for noise (erratic signals)
from low speed to high speed in the range indicated by the code.
3. If a noisy sensor is found, check the resistance of the sensor (refer to the temperature variation
chart below) and its wiring for opens, shorts, and shorts-to-ground (refer to code 22 XX). Carefully check the terminals in the connectors for corrosion, contamination, or damage. Ensure the
wiring to the sensors is a properly twisted wire pair. Replace a speed sensor if its resistance is incorrect. Isolate and repair any wiring problems. (Use a twisted-pair if a new speed sensor circuit is
needed — Service Harness Twisted Pair P/N 200153 is available from St. Clair Technologies for
this purpose.)

5. If the condition persists, replace the ECU. If replacing the ECU corrects the problem, reinstall the
original (bad) ECU to confirm that the problem is in the ECU. If the original ECU now works, inspect the ECU connectors for any corrosion or damage which may cause an intermittent condition.
If the original problem recurs, reinstall the replacement ECU.
6. Connect a pressure gauge and check main pressure. If the pressure is not adequate, the pump is
probably worn. See Service Manual for main pressure specifications.
7. If main pressure is adequate, check clutch pressure for the range indicated by following the
procedure in the Service Manual. The transmission range indicated by the trouble code can be
found by referring to the solenoid and clutch chart on the hydraulic schematic in Appendix F.
Drive the vehicle or use the diagnostic tool’s clutch test mode and check clutch pressure.
8. If a clutch is leaking pressure, remove the main control valve body and check for damaged valve
body gaskets and stuck or sticking valves (see the transmission Service Manual). If no problems
are found, replace the solenoids for the clutches used in the range indicated by the code.
9. If replacing solenoids does not correct the pressure problem, a worn clutch or worn piston seals are
probably the source of the pressure leak. Remove the transmission and repair or replace as
necessary (refer to the transmission Service Manual).
Main code 65 indicates the vehicle’s engine horsepower/governor speed rating is too high. This code is set only
when computer-controlled engines are used. Code 65 means the engine computer is able to tell the transmission,
the engine horsepower and/or governor speed is be yond the transmission rating or does not match the transmission
shift calibration.
When a code 65 is set, no shifts out of neutral are allowed. It is possible the transmission calibration selected for
this engine is improper. Contact Allison Transmission for assistance in selecting a proper calibration.
If the engine is beyond transmission ratings, contact the vehicle OEM for correction.
This code cannot be cleared until the proper level engine is installed or the transmission is properly calibrated.

Main code 66 indicates the ECU is expecting to get its throttle position signal across a serial communication
interface from a computer-controlled engine. Either the engine computer is not sending the throttle information or
the wiring between the engine and transmission computers has failed.
