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
Throttle position
Sump/retarder temperature Engine speed
Turbine speed
Transmission output speed.
The ECU uses the information to:
Control transmission solenoids and valves
Supply system status
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 testing. 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.
NOTE: ECU wiring harness connector retainers are individually
keyed and color-coded to ensure that the proper connector is attachedto the correct ECU socket. The color of the connector retainer should
match the color of the connector strain relief

1–3. SHIFT SELECTOR
Pushbutton and lever shift selectors for the WTEC III Series are remote mounted from the ECU and connected to the ECU by a wiring harness. All shift selectors except the strip-type pushbutton have a single digit LED display and a mode indicator (LED). During normal transmission operation, illumination of the LED mode 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 are three full-function pushbutton shift selectors and a strip pushbutton shift selector. Strip pushbutton shift selectors are used by European OEMs. A full-function shift selector has a MODE button and diagnostic display capability through the single digit LED display. The strip pushbutton shift selector does not have a MODE button, diagnostic capability, or adjustable illumination. The full-function pushbutton shift selector has six (6) pushbuttons which are R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), by pressing the 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 and oil level (if sensor is present) information is obtained by pressing the
(Down), (Up), and MODE. Manual forward range downshifts and upshifts are made
(Down) or (Up) arrow buttons after selecting D (Drive). The N (Neutral) button
(Down) and (Up) arrow buttons at the same time.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

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.

1–5. SPEED SENSORS (Figure 1–7)

The following three sensors provide information to the ECU:
Engine speedsignal is generated by ribs on the torque converter pump.
Turbine speedsignal is generated by the rotating-clutch housing spline contours.
Output speedsignal is generated by a toothed member attached to the output shaft (except for the
3000 Product Family 7-speed models, where the toothed member is the transfer case idler gear).
The speed ratios between the various speed sensors allow the ECU to determine if the transmission is in the selected range. Speed sensor information is also used to control the timing of clutch apply pressures, resulting in the smoothest shifts possible. 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.

A temperature sensor (thermistor) is located in the internal wiring harness. Changes in sump fluid temperature are indicated by changes in sensor resistance which changes the signal sent to the ECU. Refer to Figure 6–8 in Section 6, Code 24.
The oil level sensor (OLS) is a float type device mounted on the control module channel plate. The OLS senses transmission fluid level by electronically measuring the buoyancy forces on the float. The sensor operates on 5 VDC supplied by the ECU. The oil level sensor is standard on 3000 and 4000 Product Families transmissions. An OLS is required on all models with a shallow sump but is optional on other models. The oil level sensor is not available on the 3000 Product Family 7-speed models.
The C3 pressure switch is mounted on the rotating-clutch valve body assembly and indicates when pressure exists in the C3 clutch-apply passage. An accumulator/relay valve is in-line ahead of the C3 pressure switch and prevents high frequency hydraulic pulses generated by the C3 solenoid from cycling the C3 pressure switch.
Also mounted on the control module is the turbine speed sensor for the 3000 Product Family transmissions. The turbine speed sensor is directed at the rotating-clutch housing. The turbine speed sensor on the 4000 Product Family transmissions is located on the outside of the main housing.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1–9. AUTODETECT FEATURE (V8, V8A, V9 SOFTWARE)

Autodetect is active on the first 24 engine starts or a larger calibration number of engine starts, depending upon the component or sensor being detected (details follow in A through D below). Autodetect takes place within the first 30 seconds of each engine start monitored. Autodetect searches for the presence of the following transmission components or data inputs:
Retarder Present, Not Present Oil level sensor (OLS) Present, Not Present Throttle Analog, J1939, J1587 Engine coolant temperature Analog, J1939, J1587
Even after auotdetect 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 Allison DOC™ AUTODETECT INFORMATION.” Allison DOC™ and manually enter the component or sensor to be recognized by the ECU by changing appropriate “customer modifiable constants”.
For PC–Service Tool can also be used to override autodetect
For PC–Service Tool. Select “RESET
The four items above are the only customer modifiable constants (CMCs) that are autodetected. Other CMCs can be changed at any time and are not related to autodetect. Consult Allison publication GN3433EN, User Guide, for detailed instructions related to WTEC III “customer modified constants.” Additional details for each of the four autodetectable features are given below.
A. Retarder
Autodetect searches for the presence of the H (retarder) solenoid during the first 24 engine ignition cycles. The H solenoid must be present on the 24th engine start or the retarder is not detected and will not function on subsequent engine starts.
If the retarder is present but not detected by autodetect, the retarder will not function. Be sure to test for proper retarder function immediately after the 24th engine start. If the
WARNING
B. Oil Level Sensor (OLS)
NOTE: If an OLS is known to be present, but has not been detected, a possible cause is that the transmission
fluid level is too low. Determine the fluid level before beginning OLS troubleshooting.
retarder is not functioning, test H solenoid for open, short-to-ground, or short-to-battery condition. Use Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool to reset autodetect or to manually select the presence of the retarder after the H solenoid circuit is repaired.
No oil level sensor diagnostics take place until the OLS is detected. Frequently test for the presence of oil level diagnostics if the transmission is known to contain an OLS. If an OLS is not detected during the first 24 engine starts, autodetect continues for a larger calibration number of engine starts. Autodetect stops when an OLS is detected or when the calibration number of starts is reached. When the larger calibration number of engine starts is reached, the ECU concludes that no OLS is present. If an OLS is known to be present, but has not been detected, troubleshooting the OLS circuit is required. After the OLS circuit is repaired, reset autodetect or manually select the OLS function using Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool.

WTEC III ELECTRONIC CONTROLS TROUBLESHOOTING MANUAL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
C. Throttle Source (V8, V8A Software—See Paragraph 1–10C For V9A)
Whenever autodetect is functioning and no throttle source is found, a code 26 00 is logged. If a datalink throttle source (J 1939 and J 1587) is detected, autodetect stops looking for that function. However, if no analog throttle source was detected prior to engine start 25, autodetect continues for engine starts 25 through a calibration number. Autodetect for analog throttle stops as soon as a device is detected or when the calibration number of starts is reached. If an analog throttle source is known to be present, but is not detected, troubleshooting of the analog throttle circuit is required. After the analog throttle circuit is repaired, reset autodetect or manually select the analog throttle function using Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool. An engine throttle source must be present.
A pulse width modulated (PWM) throttle source requires an unique calibration or must be manually selected using Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool.
D. Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Source
Autodetect looks for an engine coolant temperature source during the first 24 engine starts. However, code 26 11 is not logged unless the calibration calls for engine coolant temperature data to be used for retarder capacity reduction or preselected downshifts due to retarder overheating. Autodetect remembers whatever engine coolant temperature source was present on engine start 24. If no analog engine coolant temperature source is found on engine start 24, autodetect concludes that no sensor is present. Therefore, if an engine coolant temperature source is known to be present at engine start 24, but is not detected, troubleshooting of the engine coolant temperature circuit is required. After the engine coolant temperature circuit is repaired, reset autodetect or manually select the engine coolant temperature function using Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool.

1–10. AUTODETECT FEATURE (V9A, V9B, AND V9C SOFTWARE)

A. Retarder
Retarder autodetect software version V9A will countdown for a maximum of 25 ignition cycles while recording detections of a retarder.
Retarder autodetect software version V9B and V9C will countdown for a maximum of 35 ignition cycles while recording detections of a retarder.
A retarder will be identified as present and the retarder autodetect logic will stop once it is detected for three consecutive ignition cycles. If the ignition cycle counter completes the 25 cycles (V9A) or 35 cycles (V9B, V9C) before there are three consecutive detections of a retarder, the software will log that there is not retarder present and the retarder autodetect logic will stop.
B. Oil Level Sensor (OLS)
OLS autodetect will countdown for a maximum of 25 engine starts while recording detections of an OLS. An OLS will be identified as present and the OLS autodetect logic will stop once it is detected for:
Five consecutive engine starts for software version V9A
Three consecutive starts for software version V9B
One engine start for software version V9C.
If the engine start counter completes 25 cycles before an OLS is detected (depending on the software version specifications above), the software will log that there is not OLS present and the OLS autodetect logic will stop. OLS detection must occur within 12.5 seconds on any given engine start.
1–12 Copyright © 2005 General Motors Corp.
WTEC III ELECTRONIC CONTROLS TROUBLESHOOTING MANUAL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Software version V9C will autodetect before an engine start if accumulated counts are greater than 100 or after an engine start if accumulated counts are greater than 25 but less than 100. No autodetect
occurs if accumulated counts are less than 25.
C. Throttle Source (Also Applies to V9 Software)
Throttle autodetect will increment a counter for a throttle source on each engine start during which the possible throttle source is detected. When the counter for any of the sources indicates five consecutive detections, the software will set a “confidence flag” to indicate that this is an available throttle source. Multiple throttle sources can be detected on a single engine start and multiple confidence flags can be set. There is no limit to the number of engine starts for autodetection of the throttle source until a confidence flag is set for a source. Once a confidence flag is set for any one of the sources, a counter begins to countdown for 15 additional engine starts. During the entire autodetect period, the software will use the highest priority source as the throttle source if multiple sources are detected before any confidence flags are set. Once a confidence flag is set, that source is used as the source for the throttle signal. When the countdown period is complete, the software will use the highest priority throttle source having a confidence flag set and the autodetect logic will stop.
D. Engine Coolant Temperature
Engine coolant temperature sensor autodetect will countdown for a total of 25 engine starts while recording detections of engine coolant temperature sources. A “confidence flag” will be set once a source is detected for five consecutive engine starts. Multiple sources detected before a confidence flag is set or multiple confidence flags will result in the highest priority source being used as the engine coolant temperature source. Multiple sources can be detected on a single engine start cycle.

1–11. TRANSID FEATURE

A. General Description
The TransID feature has been provided so that Allison Transmission can make component changes which require calibration changes but still retain both the original transmission assembly number (A/N) before feature based ordering (FBO) and the original calibrated ECU A/N. The purpose of TransID is to reduce the need for OEMs to use cross-reference lists of transmission and calibrated ECU A/Ns when such changes to the transmission are made. Since FBO began in April, 1998, the OEM now needs to be sure the ECU being used is compatible with the TransID level stamped on the nameplate of the transmission.
The basis for the TransID system is the creation of a TransID wire in the WTEC III system to provide the signal to the ECU of the TransID level of the transmission. This wire will at first be connected directly to the Analog Return (wire 135) to signal TransID level 1 (TID 1). TransID levels 2 through 8 will then be indicated by connecting the TransID wire in sequence to the return of solenoids A, B, C, D, E, G, and F. Corresponding to the hardware changes is the ability in the V8A and later WTEC III ECU to contain up to eight calibrations. The connection point of the TransID wire will provide the signal to tell the ECU which calibration is required by the transmission.
Whenever a TransID level change is to be made, the new TransID level calibrations will be placed in the PROM Calibration Configurator System (PCCS) before the change(s) is (are) made in production to the transmissions. All ECUs programmed and sold after that date will then be loaded with the new TransID level calibration. These ECUs will contain calibrations for the new level transmission and all previous TransID levels and will automatically load the correct calibration for the transmission based on the TransID signal sensed by AutoDetect during the first 25 engine starts. This eliminates worry on the part of the OEM of coordinating the implementation of the new ECU and the new transmission and allows their focus to be on using the stock of the earlier level ECU.

WTEC III ELECTRONIC CONTROLS TROUBLESHOOTING MANUAL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
B. Transmission Changes Versus TransID Number
1. TransID 1 The internal wiring harness wiring change to make a TransID 1 (TID 1) transmission was put into
production before the introduction of the WTEC III system. The TID 1 internal harness was made by connecting the C3 pressure switch ground (digital/signal ground; WTEC II wire 161) to the sump temperature sensor and OLS ground (analog ground; wire 135) in the internal harness. In WTEC II, the signal ground wire (wire 161) is routed through the transmission connector, terminal W, and then to the ECU, terminal B27. In WTEC III, this same wire in the internal harness becomes the TID wire (wire 195), and it goes to the ECU, terminal T13 (blue connector). The purpose of TID 1 was to provide a common transmission for use with both WTEC II and WTEC III systems (V7A and V8).
The only difference between a pre-TID transmission and a TID 1 transmission is the internal wiring harness which connects the digital and analog grounds on the TID 1 harness. Adapter harness P/N 200100 can be ordered from St. Clair Technologies to provide the same connection outside the transmission and allow a pre-TransID transmission to be “converted” to a TransID 1 transmission.
All models of the 3000 and 4000 Product Families transmissions were built with the TID 1 internal (feedthrough) harness beginning in September, 1996. Two changes were rolled into this update: the wiring change for TID 1 and a change to use a molded channel rather than the braided covering which was previously used. Both changes were rolled into the same internal harness P/N even though there was a delay in implementing the channel which resulted in the two serial number (S/N) breaks. Table 1–1 lists the harness P/Ns for the different transmission models along with the S/Ns for both changes for each harness.

*NOTE: These P/Ns are no longer serviced, refer to Table 1–4 for current P/Ns.
2. TransID 2 The purpose of the TransID 2 (TID 2) change is to indicate the use of new sump and retarder
temperature sensors (thermistors) and a new 3000 Product Family retarder design. The new retarder requires a different calibration than the old retarder. Retarder performance complaints will occur if the new retarder is controlled by the old retarder calibration or the old retarder is controlled by the new retarder calibration.
TID 2 internal harnesses contain both the new sump temperature sensor and a new connection point for the TID wire. The TID wire (195) is connected to Solenoid A ground (wire 120) to signal TID 2 to the ECU. The new temperature sensors are discussed below.
A TID 2 transmission will only work with a V8A or later ECU (WTEC III) and V8A and later ECUs are calibrated to accommodate both TID 1 and TID 2 transmissions. The 4000 Product Family 7-Speed transmissions were equipped with TID 2 at the start of production. The 3000 and 4000 Product Families transmissions produced before April 3, 2000 were TID 2 units.

The new retarder thermistor used on TID 2 retarder model transmissions has a molded connector and is the same on all TID 2 retarders. The TID 1 and pre-TID retarder thermistor had a two terminal connector attached to it when it was used on 4000 Product Family transmissions. It was part of a retarder harness assembly when used on 3000 Product Family transmissions. Refer to Appendix Q which describes the new and old temperature sensors. A graph and a table of resistance values for different temperatures are also included in Appendix Q.
Table 1–3 shows the old (pre-TID and TID 1) and the new (TID 2) part numbers of the retarder temperature sensors and the serial number when the change was made.

3. TransID 3
Starting April 3, 2000, the TID feature was changed from TID 2 to TID 3. A new internal harness was released to implement the TID 3 feature. Figure J–3 (Appendix J) shows the wiring schematic for the new internal harness. TID 1 and TID 2 internal harnesses have been maintained for service units built before April 3, 2000. TID 3 is required to make sure that the auto-detect feature selects the proper calibration for the new friction plate material.
Version 8A software was updated to include TID 3 capability as of October 1999. Table 1–4 shows the new internal harness part numbers for each of the control module configurations. Also reference Table 1–5 for transmission/ECU compatibility information. The 3000 and 4000 Product Families transmissions produced starting April 3, 2000 were TID 3 units. All T Series transmissions were TID 3 at introduction.

The manufacture and sale of both WTEC II and WTEC III ECUs during most of 1997 required a means of using a common transmission with either a WTEC II or a WTEC III ECU. A TID 1 transmission is the common transmission configuration for both control systems and production began in September, 1996 (refer to Table 1–3). A TID level 1 transmission is compatible with any Allison-supplied ECU.
Pre-TransID transmissions are only compatible with V6E, V7, and V7A ECUs. Pre-TransID transmissions were produced before the first S/N break in Table 1–3.
TransID level 2 transmissions were produced beginning in late December, 1997 (refer to Table 1–5). A TransID 2 transmission is compatible with V8A and later ECUs only.
TransID level 3 transmissions were produced beginning April 3, 2000 (refer to Table 1–5). A TransID 3 transmission is compatible with V8A and later ECUs only. Software V9 or V9A is required to use Reduced Engine Load at Stop (RELS). Refer to Table 1–6 for S/N break points.

SECTION 2—DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS

2–1. CHECK TRANS LIGHT

When the ECU detects a serious fault, the CHECK TRANS light (usually located on the vehicle instrument panel) illuminates and action is automatically taken to protect operator, vehicle, and the transmission. A diagnostic code will nearly always be registered when the CHECK TRANS light is on; however, not all diagnostic codes will turn on the CHECK TRANS light. Codes related to the CHECK TRANS light are detailed in the code chart (refer to Section 6).
Illumination of the CHECK TRANS light indicates that a condition was detected that requires service attention. Operation may or may not be restricted but even when restricted will allow the vehicle to reach a service assistance location. Depending upon the cause for the CHECK TRANS light illumination, the ECU may or may not respond to shift selector requests. The transmission may be locked in a range. That range will be shown on the shift selector display. Both upshifts and downshifts may be restricted when the CHECK TRANS light is illuminated. Seek service assistance as soon as possible.
Each time the engine is started, the CHECK TRANS light illuminates briefly and then goes off. This momentary lighting shows the light circuit is working properly. If the light does not come on during engine start, request service immediately.
