MODEL:General
SUBJECT:VITON 'O' RINGS AND SEALS (FLUORO-ELASTOMERS) - SAFETY HAZARDS
PURPOSE:
To advise potentially hazardous condition.
DETAIL:
It has been brought to our attention that 'Viton' material used in manufacture of oil seals and 'O' rings, produces
a highly corrosive acid (Hydrofluoric) when subjected to temperatures above 315° C.
The resulting contamination can have extreme consequences on human tissue since it is almost impossible to
remove after contact.
We therefore recommend the following procedure when it is necessary to inspect any equipment that has been
subjected to a high temperature i.e. fire.
a. Visually inspect for any gaskets or seals which have suffered from heat; they will appear black and sticky.
b. If this is affirmed - Do Not Touch
c. Make enquiries to ascertain the material composition. Any Fluoro-elastomer (Viton, Fluorel or Tecmoflon)
should be considered dangerous but natural rubber and nitrile are non-hazardous.
d. If Fluoro-elastomer seals have been used, then the affected area MUST be decontaminated before
undertaking further work.
e. Disposable Heavy Duty Gloves (Neoprene) MUST be worn and the affected area decontaminated by
washing thoroughly with Limewater (Calcium Hydroxide solution).
f. Any cloths, residue and gloves used MUST be safely discarded after use.
Note: Burning of the discarded items is NOT RECOMMENDED, except in an approved incineration process
where the gaseous products are treated by alkaline scrubbing.
Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable operation of all motor vehicles. The service
procedures recommended and described in this publication, are effective methods for performing service
operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose.
The special tools should be used when, and as recommended.
It is important to note that this publication contains various WARNINGS and NOTES which should be
carefully read in order to minimize the risk of personal injury to personnel, or the possibility that improper
service methods will be followed which may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe. It is also important to
understand these WARNINGS and NOTES are not exhaustive. It is not possible to know, evaluate and
advise the service trade of ALL conceivable ways in which service might be carried out, or, of the
possible hazardous consequences of each way. Consequently, no such broad evaluation has been
undertaken. Accordingly, anyone who uses a service procedure, or tool, which is not recommended, must
first satisfy themselves thoroughly that neither their safety, nor vehicle safety, will be jeopardized by the
service method he/she selects.
Two types of heading are used in this manual to attract your attention.
1. WARNING - This symbol is used when an operating procedure, practice, etc., which, if not correctly
followed could result in personal injury or loss of life. Look for this symbol to point out important safety
precautions. It means - ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
2. Note - This is used when an operating procedure, practice, etc., which, if not strictly observed, could result in
damage to or destruction of equipment.
WARNING
Never use parts which are altered, modified, or weakened in operation. This can seriously
jeopardize the integrity of the machine and could result in property damage or serious personal
injury.

Welding
Note: It is important that the electrical connections are
disconnected in the following order to prevent damage
to the electrical components:
a. Disconnect battery equalizer ground cables.
b. Disconnect battery cables from terminal posts
(ground cable first).
c. Disconnect battery equalizer positive cables.
d. Disconnect electrical connections at the ECU.
After welding, reconnect all of the above in the reverse
order.
WARNING
Welding and flame cutting cadmium plated
metals produce odourless fumes which are
toxic. Recommended industrial hygiene
practice for protection of the welding operator
from the cadmium fumes and metallic oxides
requires enclosure ventilation specifically
designed for the welding process. A respiratory
protective device such as the M.S.A. 'Gasfoe'
respirator with G.M.A. cartridge will provide
protection against cadmium, fumes and
metallic oxides. The 'Gasfoe' respirator has
been approved by the U.S. Bureau of Mines:
Approval number
23B-10, and is designed to protect against
gases, vapours, and/or metal fumes.
Electric arc welding is recommended for all chassis
welding. Since the nature and extent of damage to the
frame cannot be predetermined, no definite repair
procedure can be established. As a general rule
however, if parts are twisted, bent or pulled apart, or a
frame is bent or twisted, no welding should be done
until the parts are straightened or realigned.
and the ability of the welder. The Service Department
can be consulted regarding the feasibility of welding
repairs.
Painting
A check of the condition of the paint should be made
approximately twice a year and chassis repainted if
necessary.
WARNING
Welding, burning, heating or dressing surfaces
previously painted using polyurethane paint
produces fumes which are toxic. Surfaces must
be prepared using paint stripper prior to area
being reworked. Recommended Industrial
Hygiene and Safety Rules should be be
followed for protection of the welding operator
from fumes.
If painting of the actual frame of the unit is required,
thoroughly clean the areas to be painted. Apply a
primer coat of red oxide and then a finish coat of
polyurethane enamel.

Successfully welded repairs will depend to a great
extent upon the use of the proper equipment, materials
2
To keep rust and corrosion to a minimum, periodic
painting of abrasions and other exposed metal areas on
the frame is highly recommended.
WARNINGS
Before any welding is done on a machine
equipped with any electronic systems,
disconnect the following (if applicable) in this
order: Battery earth cable, battery supply
cable, alternator earth cables, alternator supply
cables and electrical connections at the engine
ECM, transmission ECU, body control lever,
hydraulics ECU and cab bulkhead to avoid
damage to electrical components. Turn off
battery master switch to isolate the batteries
before disconnecting any components.
After welding connect all of the above in the
reverse order.
Before any welding is done ensure all paint has
been removed from the area to be welded.
Failure to do so may result in hazardous fumes
being given off from the paint.
Note: Always fasten the welding machines ground
cable to the piece/frame being welded if possible.

Note: The current from the welding rod always follows
the path of least resistance. If, for example, the ground
clamp is attached to the rear frame when welding is
performed on the front frame, the current must pass a
frame connection to return to the welding machine.
Since the pivot coupling offers the least resistance but
not a sound electrical connection, small electric arcs
may be set up across the moving parts which may
cause welding blotches on their wearing surfaces and
increase the wear rate of these components.
Electric arc welding is recommended for all welded
frame repairs. Since the nature and extent of damage
to the frame cannot be predetermined, no definite
repair procedure can be established. As a general rule
however, if parts are twisted, bent or pulled apart, or a
frame is bent or out of alignment, no welding should be
done until the parts are straightened or realigned.
Successfully welded repairs will depend to a great
extent upon the use of the proper equipment, materials
and the ability of the welder. The Customer Support
Department can be consulted regarding the feasibility
of welding repairs.
General Welding Procedure
The following general procedure should be used for
the repair of defects outwith the vicinity of alloy steel
castings.
1. Completely ARC-AIR gouge or grind out the crack
until sound metal is reached. If ARC-AIR method is
employed, pre-heat area to 100° C (212° F), measure
3 - 4" either side of repair prior to gouging. On
completion of gouging grind to remove thin carbon

QUANTUM ELECTRONIC FUEL CONTROL
SYSTEM
Description
Refer to Fig. 2.
WARNING
Before any welding is done on a machine
equipped with the Quantum Electronic Fuel
System, disconnect the following in this order:
Battery earth cable, battery supply cable,
alternator earth cables, alternator supply
cables, transmission black box connector,
ECM interface harness connector (30 pin RHS),
ECM power harness connector (5 pin RHS) and
ECM sensor harness connector (30 pin LHS).
Turn off ignition key switch to isolate the
batteries before disconnecting any
components.
After welding connect all of the above in the
reverse order.
The engine is equipped with Quantum Electronic Fuel
System which controls the timing and amount of fuel
injection by the electronic fuel system injectors. The
system also monitors several engine functions using
electrical sensors which send electrical signals to the
electronic control module (ECM). The ECM then
computes the incoming data and determines the
correct fuel output and timing for optimum power, fuel
economy and emissions.
The Quantum Electronic Fuel System also takes
action to prevent damage to the engine and, provides
the serviceman with diagnostic capabilities so that
problems can be corrected quickly and easily.
1. Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Receives
electronic inputs from the driver as well as from
mounted sensors that provide information
electronically, such as oil pressure and temperature
and intake manifold pressure. This information is
used to control both the quantity of fuel injected and
injection timing.
2. Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM) -
Located in the ECM and encoded with the operating
software. Additional information is programmed into
the EEPROM. This information controls the
horsepower rating, torque curve, maximum engine
speed and engine protection devices. The ECM
processes this information and sends electronic
signals to the Electronic Fuel System Injectors where
the precise amount of fuel is injected into the engine.
3. Electronic Fuel System Injectors - The injector is
a lightweight, compact unit that injects diesel fuel
directly into the combustion chamber. The amount of
fuel injected and the beginning of injection timing is
determined by the ECM. The ECM sends a command
pulse which activates the injector solenoid.
The injector performs four functions:
a - Creates the high fuel pressure required for efficient
injection.
b - Meters and injects the exact amount of fuel
required to handle the load.
c - Atomizes the fuel for mixing with the air in the
combustion chamber.
d - Permits continuous fuel flow for component cooling.
Electronic fuel system injectors are self compensating
and virtually eliminate engine tune-ups.
Note: Never apply 12 V directly to terminals on the
injector as it will burn out. Before removing injectors,
the fuel passages must be blown out to prevent fuel
flow from entering the cylinder head.
4. Batteries - Two 12 volt maintenance free batteries
supply the machine with electrical power to operate
all electrical components.
5. Electronic Foot Pedal - The electronic foot pedal
provides an electrical signal to the engine's fuel
control system in proportion to the degree of pedal
actuation.
Note: The electronically controlled engine will override
the electronic foot pedal position until the engine is

the engine 'Fluid' light comes on, the computer has
detected a fault in the engine. The light will remain on
as long as the fault is occuring. The fault should be
diagnosed and corrected at the earliest opportunity. If
the fault continues to get worse the light will flash. Stop
the machine and do not operate until the fault is
corrected.
9. Diagnostic Test Point - Plug in connector for
diagnostic data reader (DDR).
10. Diagnostic Request Switch - To check for
active codes:
a - turn the ignition key switch to the 'OFF' ('0')
position.
b - press the diagnostic switch to the 'ON' position.
c - turn the ignition key switch to position '1'.
If no active codes are recorded the 'Stop', 'Warning'
and 'Fluid' lights will illuminate and stay on.
If active codes are recorded the 'Stop', 'Warning' and
'Fluid' lights will illuminate momentarily. The yellow
'Warning' and red 'Stop' lights will begin to flash the
code of the recorded fault.
11. Diagnostic Search Switch - When the engine is
in diagnostic mode this switch is used to search
through a list of fault codes, ie. pressing the top of the
switch momentarily will advance to the next active

fault code, pressing the bottom of the will go back to
the previous code.
On machines which have a Low Idle Adjustment
feature, this switch can also be used to increase or
decrease (in increments of 25 RPM), the idle or
intermediate speed of the engine.
Operation
Numbers in parentheses refer to Fig. 2.
The machine is equipped with the Quantum engine
protection system which records fault codes in the
ECM (1), when the engine malfunctions and when an
out-of-range condition is found.
When the 'Stop' light (6) on the dash panel illuminates,
the computer has detected a major malfunction in the
engine that requires immediate attention. It is the
operators responsibility to shut down the engine to
avoid serious damage.
When an out-of-range conditions is found, the 'Fluid'
light (8) illuminates and the engine protection system
is initiated. The 'Fluid' light will start to flash if the outof-range condition continues to get worse. The
operator MUST shut down the engine to avoid serious
damage.
The engine should not be restarted after it has been
shut down after activation of the engine protection
system unless the problem has been diagnosed and
corrected.
Conditions that will cause the amber 'Fluid' light (8) to
come on are; Low coolant level, High coolant
temperature, Idle validation/throttle pedal switch
mismatch, High intake manifold temperature, Low oil
pressure and High fuel rail pressure.
Whenever the 'Stop' light (6), 'Warning' light (7) or
'Fluid' light (8) come on, the Electronic Fuel System
computer will determine where the problem is and will
store this information in its memory. If the malfunction
is intermittent, the lights will come on and go off as the
computer senses the changing engine condition.
A special diagnostic data reader (INSITE) is available
that can be plugged into the engine computer memory
via the onboard diagnostic test point (9). The reader
is used to extract information related to the cause of
the problem. Once the malfunction has been
corrected, the Electronic Fuel System will return the
engine to normal operation. The data reader can now
distinguish between active codes and those stored in
the historic code memory (inactive codes). Inactive
codes can only be viewed using the data reader. The
fault code recorded in the ECM memory will remain
until it is erased by a technician.
WARNINGS
The operator of a Quantum-equipped vehicle
must not attempt to use or read a data reader
of any kind while the vehicle is operating.
Doing so can result in loss of control, which
may cause vehicle damage and may result in
personal injury.
The operator can check for active faults by turning the
ignition key switch to the 'OFF' position, switching the
diagnostic switch 'ON' and then turning the ignition key
switch to position '1'.
If no active fault codes are recorded, all three ('Stop',
'Warning' & 'Fluid') lights will come on and stay on. If
active codes are recorded, all three lights will come on
momentarily. The yellow ('Warning') and red ('Stop')
lights will begin to flash the code of the recorded fault.
The fault codes flash in the following sequence: the
yellow light flashes once, then there is a pause where
both lights are off. Then the numbers of the recorded
fault code flash in red. There is a pause between each
number. When the number is done, the yellow light
flashes again. e.g. yellow flashes once - pause - red
flashes twice - pause - red flashes three times - pause
- red flashes five times - pause - yellow flashes once,
indicates fault code 235. The number will repeat in the
same sequence until the the system is advanced to
the next active fault code or the diagnostic switch is
switched to the 'OFF' position. Refer to 'Electronic Fuel
System Diagnostic Codes' table for fault code
descriptions.

Using belt tension gauge, adjust the belt tension to
the following values:
Fan - Poly 'V' Belt
Belt Tension 'New' - 3 340 N (750 lbf)
Belt Tension 'Used' - 2 450 - 3 340 N (550 - 750 lbf)
Alternator - 'V' Belt
Belt Tension 'New' - 556 N (125 lbf)
Belt Tension 'Used' - 445 N (100 lbf)
Note: A belt is considered 'Used' if it has been in
service for 10 minutes or longer. If the used belt
tension is less than the minimum value, tighten the
belt to the maximum value.
Belts should be neither too tight nor too loose. Belts
that are too tight impose excess loads on the
crankshaft, fan and alternator bearings, shortening
both belt and bearing life. Excessively overtightened
belts can result in crankshaft breakage. A loose belt
will slip and may cause damage to accessory
components.
SPECIAL TOOLS

DESCRIPTION
Numbers in parentheses refer to Fig. 1, unless
otherwise specified.
There are two, dual dry element type air cleaner
assemblies mounted on the platform to the right hand
side of the cab. Air cleaner assemblies prolong engine
life by removing grit, dust and water from the air as it
enters the engine. Grit and dust combined with engine
oil, forms a highly abrasive compound which can destroy
the engine in a comparatively short period of time.
A rubber vacuator valve (6) attached to cover
assembly (4) in a downward position, ejects grit, dust
and water while the engine is running. Vacuator valve
(6) minimizes the need for daily servicing. Even
though vacuator valve (6) is normally under a slight
vacuum when the engine is running, pulsing of the

cleaned twice a year. Do not apply heat in any form to
air cleaner body (1).
1. Release latches (5) on cover assembly (4) and
remove cover assembly from air cleaner body (1).
2. Remove primary element (2) and safety element (3)
from air cleaner body (1).
3. Slacken clamps (9, Fig. 3) and disconnect hump
hose (8, Fig. 3) from air cleaner body (1).
4. Remove locknuts (5, Fig. 3), hardened washers
(3, Fig. 3) and bolts (4, Fig. 3) securing the air cleaner
assembly to the platform.
5. Remove the air cleaner assembly from the platform
for cleaning.
6. Open clamps (6) and remove from air cleaner
body (1). Open clamp on cap assembly (7) and
remove cap assembly from air cleaner body (1).
7. Blank off air cleaner body (1) outlets with tape or
cardboard. Reach inside body with a compressed air
nozzle or brush and remove dust from the body.
8. Remove all loose dust from air cleaner body (1) and
remove tape or cardboard from body outlets.
Note: Assembly and installation of the air cleaner
assembly is the reverse of disassembly and removal.
2. Remove primary element (2) from air cleaner body (1).
3. Using a damp cloth and a suitable solvent, wipe out
all excess dust from air cleaner body (1) and allow to
dry.
4. If the major contaminant on primary element (2) is
light dust, direct a jet of compressed air, not exceeding
6.9 bar (100 lbf/in2), against the pleats of the element.
The air jet should be directed in the opposite direction
of normal operating air flow. Move the air jet up and
down the pleats, holding the air nozzle 25 mm (1.0 in)
away from the pleats, to prevent rupturing the element
with either the nozzle or air jet.
5. In cases where the dust cake on primary element
(2) contains oil or carbon, air will not clean effectively.
Using manufacturers recommended solution and
warm water, not exceeding 48° C (120° F), soak
primary element (2) for fifteen minutes. Element
should be gently agitated to assist cleaning process.
Note: It is possible to modify an old agitator type
washing machine for primary element (2) cleaning. Do
not soak or agitate primary element (2) in the solution
for more than fifteen minutes. Prolonged exposure
softens vertical seams in the element.
6. Rinse washed element thoroughly with a low
pressure stream of water, not exceeding 0.7 bar
(10 lbf/in2), opposite from the normal air flow, until
rinse water runs clear.
Primary Element
Numbers in parentheses refer to Fig. 1.
Although a paper primary element (2) is used, it is
possible to clean it so that it can be reused. The
number of times one element can be reused depends
on the type of dirt on the element and the care
exercised in cleaning.
The life of a properly cleaned element will be
approximately as long as that of a new element for the
first one or two cleanings. After that, the life of the
element will gradually decrease with each cleaning;
however, it should perform satisfactorily through
approximately six cleanings, providing it does not rupture.
Visually determine the condition of primary element (2)
and choose either the compressed air or washing
method.
1. Release latches (5) on cover assembly (4) and
remove cover assembly from air cleaner body (1).
SM 1572 12-98
7. Air dry primary element (2) thoroughly before
returning it to service. Drying is a slow process which
may be hastened by exposing element to slowly
circulating heated air. Heated air temperature should
not exceed 46o C (115o F). Drying time can be reduced
to about three hours with heated air. DO NOT use a
light bulb for drying. DO NOT use compressed air on a
wet element.
Note: Replace paper elements after six cleanings or
two years in service, whichever comes first. Mark each
cleaned element to show total cleanings to date.
8. After primary element (2) is thoroughly dried,
inspect for damage or ruptures, especially close to the
end caps. To detect paper ruptures, place a bright light
bulb inside the element and rotate element slowly.
Inspection of element on the outside will disclose any
holes where concentrated light shines through. Even
the smallest hole will pass dust to the engine and may
result in costly engine repairs.
9. Install primary element (2) in air cleaner body (1).

Secondary Element
Numbers in parentheses refer to Fig. 1.
Since safety element (3) is protected from
contamination by primary element (2), it needs no
periodic cleaning and should be replaced only after
every third primary element (2) service.
1. With primary element (2) removed from air cleaner
body (1), remove safety element (3).
2. Remove any dust dislodged into air cleaner body (1)
outlet and, using a damp cloth and a suitable solvent,
wipe out all excess dust from air cleaner body (1) and
allow to dry.

(air cleaner outlet) increases. This vacuum is generally
measured as 'restriction in mm (inches) of water'.
The recommended maximum allowable intake
restrictions at rated speed and load are as follows:
a. 380 mm-H2O (15 in-H2O) with clean filter elements.
b. 635 mm-H2O (25 in-H2O) with dirty filter elements.
While the air restriction gauge sends a signal to
indicate the need for servicing, it does not give as
precise a measurement as a water manometer or
vacuum gauge.
Water Manometer
a. Remove protective cap (15) and disconnect
harness at air restriction gauge (14). Remove air
restriction gauge (14) from tee (16).
b. Hold water manometer vertically and fill both legs
approximately half full of water. Connect one of the
upper ends to tee (16) by means of a flexible hose.
c. With the manometer held vertically and the engine
drawing maximum air, the difference in height of the
water columns in the two legs is measured as the air
cleaner restriction.
d. If the restriction exceeds the levels indicated,
engine performance will be affected. Primary filter
element should be cleaned or replaced.
Vacuum Gauge
a. Remove protective cap (15) and disconnect
harness at air restriction gauge (14). Remove air
restriction gauge (14) from tee (16).
b. Connect the hose from the vacuum gauge to

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Numbers in parentheses refer to Fig. 1.
The function of the power takeoff (PTO), as the name
implies, is to provide the means of mounting and
driving an auxiliary component. The tandem pump for
the body hoist system and disc brake cooling system
is mounted to PTO cover (26) and its input shaft is
meshed with the internal splines in the hub of driven
gear (12). Refer to Section 230-0050, TANDEM
PUMP.
The major components of the PTO assembly are;
flywheel cover case (1), PTO cover (26), driveshaft (15),
drive gear (14) and driven gear (12).
As driveshaft (15) is driven by the engine crankcase,
drive gear (14) turns to drive driven gear (12). The
tandem pump driveshaft, meshed in the hub of driven
gear (12), turns with driven gear (12) to operate the
tandem pump which, in turn, supplies hydraulic oil to
the body hoist system and cooling oil to the disc
brake assemblies. Refer to Section 230-0050,
TANDEM PUMP.

transmission switches, sensors and instruments, refer
to Section 190-0270, SWITCHES AND SENSORS. For
transmission servicing and repair data, refer to the
transmission manufacturers service manual.
The transmission is remote mounted in the frame and
is supported by trunnion (2) assembly at the front and
two mounting brackets (9) at the rear.
Integral with transmission (1) assembly are torque
converter and planetary gearing. There are six forward
gears and two reverse gears with automatic lockup in
all speed ranges. Operation of the transmission is by
the Commercial Electronic Control (CEC) Shift System,
SM 1574 12-98
(previously known as ATEC).
A brief description and operation of the main
transmission components are as follows:
CEC Shift System
Refer to Section 120-0070, CEC SHIFT SYSTEM for
description and operation, wiring diagrams and
electrical troubleshooting of the CEC System.
Torque Converter
The torque converter consists of three elements pump, turbine, and stator. The pump is the input
element and is driven directly by the engine. The
turbine is the output element and is hydraulically
driven by the pump. The stator is the reaction (torque
multiplying) element.
1
Page 48
Transmission - Transmission and Mounting
Section 120-0010
When the pump turns faster than the turbine, the torque
converter is multiplying torque. When the turbine
approaches the speed of the pump the stator starts to
rotate with the pump and turbine. When this occurs,
torque multiplication stops and the torque converter
functions as a fluid coupling.
Lockup Clutch
The lockup clutch is located inside the torque converter
and consists of three elements - piston, clutch plate,
and backplate. The piston and backplate are driven by
the engine and the clutch plate, located between the
piston and backplate, is splined to the converter turbine.
The lockup clutch is hydraulically engaged and
released in response to electronic signals from the
ECU. It engages when the vehicle reaches a
predetermined speed. Engagement of the lockup clutch
provides a direct drive from the engine to the
transmission gearing. This eliminates converter
slippage to provide maximum fuel economy. The lockup
clutch releases at lower speeds (and momentarily
during shifts). When the lockup clutch is released, drive
from the engine is transmitted hydraulically through the
converter to the transmission gearing. The lockup
clutch also releases when the ECU detects certain
undesirable conditions.
Planetary Gears and Clutches
A series of planetary gears and shafts provide the gear
ratios and directions of travel for the vehicle. Power flow
through the planetaries is controlled by multiple clutch
packs. The clutches are applied and released
hydraulically in response to electronic signals from the
ECU.
Hydraulic Retarder
A vaned rotor and two vaned stators are the basic
components of the retarder. Application of the retarder
control valve fills the cavity around the rotor with oil
when the vehicle must be slowed on steep
downgrades. When the cavity is emptied, the rotor is
free of drag. Refer to Section 250-0130, RETARDER
CONTROL VALVE.
Maximum retarder effect occurs in the lowest gear
range with foot off of the accelerator pedal. Long
continuous use of the retarder will raise transmission
oil temperature. Short periods of full release, to interrupt
continuous application, will help prevent overheating.
During normal operation the dash mounted
transmission oil temperature gauge should read in the
green zone. However, during transmission retarder
operation oil temperature can enter the yellow 'Retarder
On' zone but should not enter the red zone.
Transmission Oil Cooler
The transmission oil is cooled by a separate oil cooler
mounted between the radiator and transmission to
maintain transmission oil within its required operating
temperature range. Refer to Section 210-0060,
TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER.
Transmission Oil Filter
The transmission oil filter is mounted off the frame at
the front right hand side of the transmission. It is
installed in the transmission oil lines to remove dirt
and other contaminants from the transmission oil to
minimise wear and provide maximum service life for
the transmission. Refer to Section 120-0100,
TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER.
REMOVAL
Numbers in parentheses refer to Fig. 1.
Note: Tag all lines, pipes, electrical connections and
mechanical linkages disconnected during removal to

MAINTENANCE
Periodic Inspections
For easier inspection, the transmission should be kept
clean. Make periodic checks for loose bolts and
leaking oil lines. Check the condition of electrical
harnesses and connections regularly.
15. Connect transmission retarder linkage at
transmission (1).
16. Install rear driveline to output yoke/flange (39) at

hardware removed during removal. Refer to
Section 130-0010, FRONT DRIVELINE.
18. Using suitable lifting equipment, support
transmission guard and secure guard to the frame with
mounting hardware removed during removal.
19. Fill transmission (1) assembly with oil specified in
Section 300-0020, LUBRICATION SYSTEM, and check
the oil level as described under 'Oil Level Check'.
20. Fill steering tank with oil specified in Section
300-0020, LUBRICATION SYSTEM, and check the oil
level as described in Section 220-0040, STEERING
AND BRAKE CONTROL TANK.
The transmission breather should be checked
regularly and as frequently as necessary, depending
on the operating conditions of the vehicle. A badly
corroded or plugged breather restricts proper
breathing and causes a buildup of condensation and
subsequent oil deterioration.
Oil Level Check
WARNING
When checking the oil level, be sure that the
parking brake is applied and all road wheels
are securely blocked.
Check the transmission oil level and add oil if low,
every 10 hours/daily. Use only oil of the type
specified in Section 300-0020, LUBRICATION
SYSTEM.
Because the transmission oil cools, lubricates and
transmits hydraulic power it is important that the
proper oil level be maintained at all times. If the oil
level is too low, the converter and clutches will not
receive an adequate supply of oil. If the oil level is too
SM 1574 12-98
5
Page 52
Transmission - Transmission and Mounting
Section 120-0010
high, the oil will aerate and the transmission will
overheat. It is absolutely necessary that the oil put into
the transmission be clean.
Oil must be handled in clean containers to prevent
foreign material from entering the system.
Note: Containers or fillers that have been used for
antifreeze or engine coolant solution must not be
used for transmission oil.
Visual Level Indicator
A visual level indicator is mounted on the lower left
side of the transmission main housing and provides a
method of checking the oil level. Refer to Fig. 2.
Cold Oil Level Check
Before starting the engine, check the visual level
indicator or remove the ADD (lower) plug. If oil is
present in the indicator or if oil flows from the plug
opening, the transmission has sufficient oil to permit
safe starting of the engine. If no oil is present, add
sufficient oil to bring the level within the indicator or
to cause a flow from the plug opening. Replace the
plug.

Hot Oil Level Check
Note: Observe the condition of the oil in the visual

level.
A hot oil level check is made to determine if there is
sufficient oil for working operation of the
transmission. Select neutral on the transmission
range selector and start the engine. Operate the
vehicle until the transmission reaches a normal
operating temperature of 82 - 103° C (180 - 220° F).
Idle the engine, apply the parking brake and block all
road wheels.
Check the visual level indicator or remove the FULL
(upper) oil level check plug. The oil should be within
the indicator limits shown in Fig. 2 or at or near the
level of the plug opening. Add or drain oil as
necessary to bring the oil level within these limits.
Note: The transmission may be operated safely as
long as the oil level is above the ADD (lower) plug.
Oil and Filter Change
After the first 150 hours of operating a new or rebuilt
transmission, the transmission oil and filters should
be changed.
Fig. 2 - Visual Level Indicator
The transmission oil and filters should be changed at
the intervals specified in Section 300-0020,
LUBRICATION SYSTEM, or sooner, depending on
operating conditions. Also, the oil must be changed
whenever there are traces of dirt or evidence of high
temperature indicated by discoloration or strong odour.
The screen and magnet assembly in the sump should
be removed and cleaned with mineral spirits at each
oil change. Metal particles in the oil (except for the
minute particles normally trapped in the oil filters)
indicate damage has occurred in the transmission
When these particles are found in the filters, the
cause must be established and rectified immediately
to prevent damage to the transmission.
At each oil change, examine the used oil for evidence
of dirt or water. A normal amount of condensation will
emulsify in the oil during operation of the
transmission. However, if there is evidence of water
or engine coolant in the oil, the cause must be
established and rectified immediately to prevent
damage to the transmission.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Converter Stall Test
A stall test should be conducted when the power
package (engine and transmission) is not performing
satisfactorily. The purpose of the test is to determine
the engine power output and establish if the
transmission is the malfunctioning component.
Section 120-0010
WARNING
When conducting a stall test, the vehicle must
be positively prevented from moving. The
parking brake must be applied and the vehicle
should be blocked to prevent movement
forward or reverse. Keep people safely away
from the vehicle path. Do not maintain the
stalled condition longer than 30 seconds due
to rapid heating of the transmission oil. With
the transmission in neutral, run the engine at
1 200 - 1 500 rev/min for two minutes to cool
the oil between tests. Do not allow the
converter-out temperature to exceed 135° C
(275° F). Keep a close check to prevent
overheating of the engine cooling system.
1. Position the vehicle on a level area with room for
movement all round.
2. Apply the parking brake and block all road wheels.
Turn the manual mode key switch to the 'On' position
and the mode selection switch to the 'Power' mode.
3. Apply the service brake, release the parking brake
and select fifth gear on the transmission shift
selector. The transmission will shift to fifth gear and
deactivate the lockup clutch. Apply the parking brake
and release the foot pedal.
4. Accelerate the engine to full throttle and, using a
tachometer of known accuracy, note the maximum
rev/min the engine will attain. Converter-out pressure
should be 2 bar (30 lbf/in²).
Note: The stall speed of each vehicle is noted on the
final inspection records prior to the vehicle leaving
the factory. This can be used as a guide when
checking the stall speed. It is recommended to keep
a record of the stall speed after each major service
and use the previous recorded value as a guide.
5. When the stall check is complete, return the
accelerator to the idle position and move the shift
selector to the neutral position.
Note: Engine power will decrease with an increase in
elevation (altitude), becoming more pronounced at
greater elevation. This will result in a lower engine
speed under converter stall conditions.
SM 1574 12-98
7
Page 54
Transmission - Transmission and Mounting
Section 120-0010
6. During the stall check the transmission oil
temperature should rise while the engine is under
load and drop when the transmission is returned to
neutral. Should the temperature fail to drop it
indicates that there is a problem with the converter.
7. After making allowances for elevation, a low engine
speed may indicate the engine is not delivering full
power. Refer to engine service manual for engine
repair information.
Electronic Troubleshooting
Refer to Section 120-0070, CEC SHIFT SYSTEM for
general electrical troubleshooting. For more detailed
electrical troubleshooting refer to the Allison

for mechanical troubleshooting, as outlined in the
'Mechanical Trouble Shooting' charts, before carrying
out electrical troubleshooting procedures.
WARNING
Be sure to apply the parking brake, switch off
the engine and block all road wheels before
troubleshooting the vehicle. Should it be
necessary to run the engine, it is imperative
that an operator be present in the cab at all
times, even at idle.

For transmission make, model and specification, refer
to Section 000-0000, GENERAL INFORMATION. For
transmission switches, sensors and instruments, refer
to Section 190-0270, SWITCHES AND SENSORS. For
transmission servicing and repair data, refer to the
transmission manufacturers service manual.
The transmission is remote mounted in the frame and
is supported by trunnion (2) assembly at the front and
two mounting brackets (9) at the rear.
Integral with transmission (1) assembly are torque
converter and planetary gearing. There are six forward
gears and two reverse gears with automatic lockup in
all speed ranges. Operation of the transmission is by
the Commercial Electronic Control (CEC) Shift System,
SM 1905 1-00
(previously known as ATEC).
A brief description and operation of the main
transmission components are as follows:
CEC Shift System
Refer to Section 120-0070, CEC SHIFT SYSTEM for
description and operation, wiring diagrams and
electrical troubleshooting of the CEC System.
Torque Converter
The torque converter consists of three elements pump, turbine, and stator. The pump is the input
element and is driven directly by the engine. The
turbine is the output element and is hydraulically
driven by the pump. The stator is the reaction (torque
multiplying) element.
1
Page 60
Transmission - Transmission and Mounting
Section 120-0010
When the pump turns faster than the turbine, the
torque converter is multiplying torque. When the
turbine approaches the speed of the pump the stator
starts to rotate with the pump and turbine. When this
occurs, torque multiplication stops and the torque
converter functions as a fluid coupling.
Lockup Clutch
The lockup clutch is located inside the torque
converter and consists of three elements - piston,
clutch plate, and backplate. The piston and backplate
are driven by the engine and the clutch plate, located
between the piston and backplate, is splined to the
converter turbine.
The lockup clutch is hydraulically engaged and
released in response to electronic signals from the
ECU. It engages when the vehicle reaches a
predetermined speed. Engagement of the lockup
clutch provides a direct drive from the engine to the
transmission gearing. This eliminates converter
slippage to provide maximum fuel economy. The
lockup clutch releases at lower speeds (and
momentarily during shifts). When the lockup clutch is
released, drive from the engine is transmitted
hydraulically through the converter to the transmission
gearing. The lockup clutch also releases when the
ECU detects certain undesirable conditions.
Planetary Gears and Clutches
A series of planetary gears and shafts provide the gear
ratios and directions of travel for the vehicle. Power flow
through the planetaries is controlled by multiple clutch
packs. The clutches are applied and released hydraulically
in response to electronic signals from the ECU.
Hydraulic Retarder
A vaned rotor and two vaned stators are the basic
components of the retarder. Application of the retarder
control valve fills the cavity around the rotor with oil
when the vehicle must be slowed on steep
downgrades. When the cavity is emptied, the rotor is
free of drag. Refer to Section 250-0130, RETARDER
CONTROL VALVE.
Maximum retarder effect occurs in the lowest gear
range with foot off of the accelerator pedal. Long
continuous use of the retarder will raise transmission
oil temperature. Short periods of full release, to interrupt
continuous application, will help prevent overheating.
During normal operation the dash mounted
transmission oil temperature gauge should read in the
green zone. However, during transmission retarder
operation oil temperature can enter the yellow
'Retarder On' zone but should not enter the red zone.
Transmission Oil Cooler
The transmission oil is cooled by a separate oil cooler
mounted between the radiator and transmission to
maintain transmission oil within its required operating
temperature range. Refer to Section 210-0060,
TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER.
Transmission Oil Filter
The transmission oil filter is mounted off the frame at
the front right hand side of the transmission. It is
installed in the transmission oil lines to remove dirt and
other contaminants from the transmission oil to
minimise wear and provide maximum service life for
the transmission. Refer to Section 120-0100,
TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER.

20. Fill steering tank with oil specified in Section
300-0020, LUBRICATION SYSTEM, and check the oil
SM 1905 1-00
The transmission breather should be checked
regularly and as frequently as necessary, depending
on the operating conditions of the vehicle. A badly
corroded or plugged breather restricts proper
breathing and causes a buildup of condensation and
subsequent oil deterioration.
Oil Level Check
WARNING
When checking the oil level, be sure that the
parking brake is applied and all road wheels
are securely blocked.
Check the transmission oil level and add oil if low,
every 10 hours/daily. Use only oil of the type specified
in Section 300-0020, LUBRICATION SYSTEM.
Because the transmission oil cools, lubricates and
transmits hydraulic power it is important that the
proper oil level be maintained at all times. If the oil
5
Page 64
Transmission - Transmission and Mounting
Section 120-0010
level is too low, the converter and clutches will not
receive an adequate supply of oil. If the oil level is too
high, the oil will aerate and the transmission will
overheat. It is absolutely necessary that the oil put into
the transmission be clean.
Oil must be handled in clean containers to prevent
foreign material from entering the system.
Note: Containers or fillers that have been used for
antifreeze or engine coolant solution must not be used
for transmission oil.
Visual Level Indicator
A visual level indicator is mounted on the lower left
side of the transmission main housing and provides a
method of checking the oil level. Refer to Fig. 2.
Cold Oil Level Check
Before starting the engine, check the visual level
indicator or remove the ADD (lower) plug. If oil is
present in the indicator or if oil flows from the plug
opening, the transmission has sufficient oil to permit
safe starting of the engine. If no oil is present, add
sufficient oil to bring the level within the indicator or to
cause a flow from the plug opening. Replace the plug.
Hot Oil Level Check
Note: Observe the condition of the oil in the visual
level indicator or the type of flow from the plug
opening. Foaming or spurting may indicate a false
level.
A hot oil level check is made to determine if there is
sufficient oil for working operation of the transmission.
Select neutral on the transmission range selector and
start the engine. Operate the vehicle until the
transmission reaches a normal operating temperature
of 82 - 103° C (180 - 220° F). Idle the engine, apply
the parking brake and block all road wheels.
Check the visual level indicator or remove the FULL
(upper) oil level check plug. The oil should be within
the indicator limits shown in Fig. 2 or at or near the
level of the plug opening. Add or drain oil as necessary
to bring the oil level within these limits.
Note: The transmission may be operated safely as
long as the oil level is above the ADD (lower) plug.
Oil and Filter Change
After the first 150 hours of operating a new or rebuilt
transmission, the transmission oil and filters should be
changed.

The transmission oil and filters should be changed at
the intervals specified in Section 300-0020,
LUBRICATION SYSTEM, or sooner, depending on
operating conditions. Also, the oil must be changed
whenever there are traces of dirt or evidence of high
temperature indicated by discoloration or strong odour.
The screen and magnet assembly in the sump should
be removed and cleaned with mineral spirits at each
oil change. Metal particles in the oil (except for the
minute particles normally trapped in the oil filters)
indicate damage has occurred in the transmission
When these particles are found in the filters, the cause
must be established and rectified immediately to
prevent damage to the transmission.
At each oil change, examine the used oil for evidence
of dirt or water. A normal amount of condensation will
emulsify in the oil during operation of the transmission.
However, if there is evidence of water or engine
coolant in the oil, the cause must be established and
rectified immediately to prevent damage to the
transmission.

Welding on Vehicles Equipped With CEC
WARNINGS
The ECU can be damaged by improper welding
procedures.
Any time the battery equalizer is
disconnected from the batteries, remove
ground cable first, and reconnect last, to
prevent damaging the component.
When frame or other welding is required, the following
precautions are to be taken to protect the electronic
components.
a. Disconnect battery equalizer ground connection
from the batteries. Disconnect battery cables from
terminal posts (ground cable first). Disconnect battery
equalizer positive connection. Disconnect electrical
connections at the ECU.
b. If additional system ground wires are connected to
the frame, they must be disconnected also.
c. Cover electronic components and wiring to protect
from damage.
d. Do not connect welding cables to electronic
components. Do not weld on electronic components. If
welding is to be done close to electronic components,
the components should be removed prior to the
welding process.
e. On completion of all welding reconnect electrical
connections in the reverse order to step a.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Converter Stall Test
A stall test should be conducted when the power
package (engine and transmission) is not performing
satisfactorily. The purpose of the test is to determine
the engine power output and establish if the
transmission is the malfunctioning component.
Section 120-0010
WARNING
When conducting a stall test, the vehicle must
be positively prevented from moving. The
parking brake must be applied and the vehicle
should be blocked to prevent movement
forward or reverse. Keep people safely away
from the vehicle path. Do not maintain the
stalled condition longer than 30 seconds due
to rapid heating of the transmission oil. With
the transmission in neutral, run the engine at 1
200 - 1 500 rev/min for two minutes to cool the
oil between tests. Do not allow the converterout temperature to exceed 135° C (275° F).
Keep a close check to prevent overheating of
the engine cooling system.
1. Position the vehicle on a level area with room for
movement all round.
2. Apply the parking brake and block all road wheels.
Turn the manual mode key switch to the 'On' position
and the mode selection switch to the 'Power' mode.
3. Apply the service brake, release the parking brake
and select fifth gear on the transmission shift selector.
The transmission will shift to fifth gear and deactivate
the lockup clutch. Apply the parking brake and release
the foot pedal.
4. Accelerate the engine to full throttle and, using a
tachometer of known accuracy, note the maximum
rev/min the engine will attain. Converter-out pressure
should be 2 bar (30 lbf/in²).
Note: The stall speed of each vehicle is noted on the
final inspection records prior to the vehicle leaving the
factory. This can be used as a guide when checking
the stall speed. It is recommended to keep a record of
the stall speed after each major service and use the
previous recorded value as a guide.
5. When the stall check is complete, return the
accelerator to the idle position and move the shift
selector to the neutral position.
Note: Engine power will decrease with an increase in
elevation (altitude), becoming more pronounced at
greater elevation. This will result in a lower engine
speed under converter stall conditions.
SM 1905 1-00
7
Page 66
Transmission - Transmission and Mounting
Section 120-0010
6. During the stall check the transmission oil
temperature should rise while the engine is under load
and drop when the transmission is returned to neutral.
Should the temperature fail to drop it indicates that
there is a problem with the converter.
7. After making allowances for elevation, a low engine
speed may indicate the engine is not delivering full
power. Refer to engine service manual for engine
repair information.
Electronic Troubleshooting
Refer to Section 120-0070, CEC SHIFT SYSTEM for
general electrical troubleshooting. For more detailed
electrical troubleshooting refer to the Allison

The CEC (Commercial Electronic Control) shift system
continually monitors the transmission and shift system
electrical components and warns the operator when a
problem develops. It also takes action to prevent
damage to the transmission, and provides the
serviceman with diagnostic capabilities so that
problems can be corrected quickly and easily.
The CEC Plus II shift system used on this vehicle
consists of a gear shift selector, an electronic control
unit (ECU), throttle position sensor, transmission output
shaft speed sensor (magnetic pick-up), oil temperature
sensor, solenoids, switches, relays, circuit breakers,
fuses, indicator lights and wiring harnesses.
In addition, CEC provides the following systems
designed to protect the operator and mechanical
components:
Reverse Inhibit - Prevents gear selection if engine is
operating at more than 20% throttle.
Hoist Interlock Pressure Switch - The ECU will shift
the transmission from reverse to neutral if the body
control joystick is moved to the 'Raise' position. When
this circuit has been activated, moving the transmission
shift lever to neutral, then re-selecting reverse, will
engage reverse gear whilst the body is held in the
'Raise' position. This feature is only operational in the
normal automatic driving mode, either Power or
Economy. It is not activated during the manual mode.
WARNING
The standard procedure for raising the body
must still be adhered to.
Body Up Interlock - When the body is raised, the CEC
system will only allow the transmission to operate in
first gear. This feature is only operational in the normal
automatic driving mode, either Power or Economy. It is
not activated during the manual mode.
Parking Brake Interlock - If the parking brake is
applied while the transmission is in neutral, the CEC
system will prevent a shift out of neutral to protect the
brake components. If the parking brake is applied while
the transmission is in gear, the parking brake interlock
will not function and normal shifts will occur.
seconds and then, if the condition fails to correct itself,
locks in gear and prevents any further shifting. The
Check Trans and Do Not Shift lights will both come on.
If this occurs, the ECU must be reset before normal
operation may be resumed.
To reset the ECU if the transmission has locked in
gear because of wheel spinning or a panic stop, stop
the vehicle, select neutral 'N', apply the parking brake,
and turn the ignition key switch to position '0' to shut
down the engine. Wait ten seconds, then turn the
ignition key switch to restart engine. Select reverse 'R',
then neutral 'N'. The Check Trans and Do Not Shift
lights should go off.
Cold Weather Starts - During cold weather, if the
transmission temperature is below -24° C (-10° F) the
Do Not Shift and Check Trans lights will illuminate and
the ECU will prevent the transmission from being
shifted out of Neutral. Between -24° C (-10° F) and
-7° C (19° F) the lights will go out and the ECU will
only permit operation in first or reverse gears. Above
-7° C (19° F), normal operation will be permitted.
CEC PLUS II COMPONENTS
Description and Operation
Refer to Fig. 1.
1. Electronic Control Unit (ECU) - Contains an
electronic microcomputer. The ECU receives
information in the form of electronic signals from
switches and sensors, processes the information
according to shift schedule programs stored on a
programmable read only memory (PROM) chip, and
sends electronic signals to the appropriate solenoids
which control the transmission.
The ECU is programmed to take corrective action to
prevent damage to the transmission if a failure occurs
in the CEC system and has diagnostic capabilities
which allow the serviceman to quickly find and repair
or replace a failed component.
2. Battery Equalizer - Since the ECU continually
draws 12 volts from one of the vehicles batteries, the
battery equalizer is provided to continually monitor and
balance the charge on the batteries.
Lock-in-gear - The lock-in-gear feature is designed to
protect the transmission from damage should wheel
spinning or lockup occur due to poor traction or panic
braking. The ECU will delay making a shift for several
SM 1575 Rev 2 11-00

3. CEC Interface Box - Provides the electrical link
between the vehicle harnesses and the CEC
harnesses. The interface box contains fuses and
relays.
4. Gear Shift Selectors - When any one of the
forward drive ranges is chosen, detents will hold the
lever in the selected position. A two-finger latch
release must be pulled up to permit movement of the
lever into and out of neutral 'N' and reverse 'R'.

WARNING
Do not allow the vehicle to coast in Neutral.
This practice can result in severe transmission
damage.
The transmission provides six forward ranges, two
reverse ranges and a neutral position. The
transmission upshifts and downshifts automatically
between first range and the highest range selected on

SM 1575 Rev 2 11-00
Page 73
Transmission - CEC Plus II Shift System
the range selector in direct response to throttle
position and transmission output speed.
When Reverse is selected the reverse alarm sounds and
the reverse light illuminates at the rear of the vehicle. This
feature warns personnel to the immediate rear of the
vehicle that the operator has shifted to reverse.
When drive 'D' is selected, the transmission
automatically upshifts and downshifts through all six
forward ranges as required by loads and travel
speeds. Selecting a lower range (4th, 3rd etc.) limits
the highest range to which the transmission will
automatically upshift.
If a lower range is selected while moving forward, the
transmission automatically downshifts sequentially to
the selected lower range at maximum controlled
engine speeds. Downshifts will not occur until vehicle
is slowed by use of the service brakes and/or retarder.
When shifting from neutral to start from a standstill, or
to reverse direction, decelerate the engine to idle
speed. To move forward, select drive 'D' and
accelerate the engine to the vehicle load and speed
requirements. The transmission will automatically
upshift from 1st through 6th ranges as travel speed
increases.
With the throttle fully depressed, and the mode
selection switch in the Power position, the
transmission upshifts to the next higher range when
the engine attains maximum rated speed, since
maximum power train output is needed under this
condition. At lower throttle settings where minimum
power train performance is required, the transmission
will upshift to the next higher range at less than
maximum rated engine speed.
Upgrades or soft spots might slow travel speed, even
at full throttle, requiring transmission downshifts to
maintain maximum powertrain performance. When this
occurs, the transmission downshifts automatically.
Shift the transmission to the next lowest range if
transmission 'Hunting' or 'Shift Cycling' occurs.
When temporarily stopped, such as for yielding the
right-of-way to a loaded vehicle, the transmission can
be left in the selected range and the vehicle held
stationary with the service brakes.
However, when stopped for a more extended period
with the engine left running, shift the transmission to
neutral to avoid unnecessary heat buildup and apply
the parking brake.
Section 120-0070
WARNING
Always select Neutral and apply the parking
brake before leaving the operator’s seat.
5. Mode Selection Switch - Gives the option to select
between transmission Power and Economy shift
schedules. The transmission must be in Neutral before
the switch will function.
The transmission torque converter is equipped with a
lockup clutch which, when engaged by the ECU, locks
the converter pump and turbine together as a single
unit and allows power to be transmitted mechanically
from the engine directly to the transmission gearing on
a 1:1 ratio. When the lockup clutch is disengaged, the
torque converter acts as a fluid coupling, multiplying
torque when engine speed is significantly higher than
transmission output shaft speed.
When the mode selection switch is in the Power
position, the ECU controls operation of the lockup
clutch according to signals received by the throttle
position sensor (giving engine speed as a percent of
throttle), the transmission output shaft speed sensor,
and range selector. The ECU may delay application of
the lockup clutch and allow torque multiplication by the
torque converter to take place until a balance is
achieved between engine speed and transmission
output shaft speed before activating the lockup clutch.
Power versus Economy Mode
The Power mode is designed for applications involving
heavy loads and hilly duty cycles where performance
rather than fuel economy is of prime importance.
The Economy mode is designed for applications
involving lighter loads and level duty cycles or where
fuel economy is more important than performance.
In the Economy mode, the ECU controls operation of
the lockup clutch with a timed, preprogrammed
schedule where in second through sixth gears the
lockup clutch is disengaged only long enough to allow
the torque converter’s fluid coupling to absorb shift
shock. Otherwise, the lockup clutch is engaged and no
torque multiplication takes place in second through
sixth gears.
6. Manual Mode Switch - The manual mode facility is
designed as a Service Technician facility to allow stall
checks and clutch pressure checks to be implemented
by Service Personnel, and permit movement of the
vehicle, if necessary, to a repair area. With the manual
mode switch in the 'On' position, the body up interlock
SM 1575 Rev 2 11-00

T ransmission - CEC Plus II Shift System
Section 120-0070
and hoist interlock pressure switch mechanisms are
disengaged! This allows unauthorised selection of
reverse or any forward gear with the body raised,
constituting a safety hazard. Operators must not use
the manual mode facility when working the vehicle! It
is recommended that the mode selection key is
removed from the unit and retained in a safe place
until required by Service personnel.
Note: The manual mode can only be used if the mode
selection switch is in the Power position and the
transmission is in neutral.
WARNINGS
Do not operate the engine for more than 30
seconds at full throttle with transmission in
gear and output stalled as this will result in
severe overheat damage to the transmission.
The manual mode is not intended to be
used for normal operations. The vehicle should
only be driven at very low speeds in first or
reverse gears if the manual mode is activated,
or damage to the transmission may result.
9. Check Trans Switch - Is used in conjunction with
the check trans warning light to obtain trouble codes
which will indicate shift system malfunctions. Refer to
'Troubleshooting' covered in this section, or, Allison
Commercial Electronic Control (CEC) Troubleshooting
Manual SA2712A, for instructions on finding and
clearing trouble codes and diagnostic procedures.
10. Do Not Shift Warning Light - This warning light is
incorporated in the gear shift selector. The light will
illuminate when the ignition key switch is turned to
position '1' to provide a bulb and system check. It
should go 'Off' a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on.
If the do not shift warning light starts to flash and the
buzzer sounds along with the Check Trans Warning
Light, the ECU has detected a serious problem in the
shift system and will disengage the lockup clutch, if
applied, preventing a shift out of the gear the
transmission is in (Lock-in gear). Any time the do not
shift warning light starts flashing and the buzzer
sounds, bring the vehicle to a stop at the first safe
opportunity and shut down the engine until the
problem is corrected.
7. Manual Mode Warning Light - Illuminates to alert
the operator when the transmission has been switched
to operate in the manual mode. The light should be
'Off' during normal operation.
8. Check Trans Warning Light - Illuminates to alert of
a minor fault in the transmission shift system or
abnormal transmission temperature. The light will
come 'On' when the ignition key switch is turned to
position '1' to provide a bulb and system check and
should go 'Off' a few seconds after the engine is
started and the transmission oil pressure rises.
The check trans warning light will come 'On' during
operation, if the ECU has detected a minor fault in an
electrical component or abnormal transmission oil
temperature. If transmission oil temperature is too
high, stop the vehicle, select neutral 'N', and increase
engine speed to allow a greater flow of oil to the cooler
until oil temperature drops to normal operating range.
In most cases, a minor fault triggering the check trans
warning light will not prevent normal operation from
continuing but, depending on the nature of the
problem, the ECU could take action to protect the
transmission from damage, such as preventing
operating in high gear ranges. If the check trans light
comes 'On', have the problem diagnosed and
corrected at the earliest opportunity.
11. In-convertor Indicator Light - Illuminates when
the transmission is in torque converter drive. It goes
'Off' when Lockup is engaged. In order to avoid
unnecessary waste of fuel, if traffic or other road
conditions permit, the operator should modify throttle
position, or gear held, to achieve a steady road speed
with the torque converter lockup engaged (light 'Off').
12. Digital Data Line - Located in the right hand side
of the transmission control tower. Plug in connector for
diagnostic data reader (DDR).

WARNINGS
The ECU can be damaged by improper welding
procedures.
Any time the battery equalizer is
disconnected from the batteries, remove
ground cable first, and reconnect last, to
prevent damaging the component.
Note: When frame or other welding is required, the
following procedure must be followed to protect the
electronic components:
Turn ignition keyswitch to position '0' to shut down the
engine and disconnect the batteries.
Disconnect battery equalizer ground connections from
the batteries. Disconnect battery cables from terminal
posts (ground cable first). Disconnect battery equalizer
positive connections. Disconnect electrical
connections at the ECU. On completion of all welding
reconnect electrical connections in the reverse order
to disconnections.
Note: Both 12 and 24 volt circuits are present in the
CEC interface box. Extreme care must be taken, when
making repairs to the system, to avoid damaging the
ECU by introducing 24 volts into a 12 volt circuit.
Ecu Memory Power
The ECU draws 12 volts at a maximum of 10
milliamps (mA) continuously to store trouble codes
and throttle position sensor calibration values. The
ECU stores two trouble codes at a time in its memory.
If the memory power is disconnected trouble codes
and throttle position calibration values will be lost.
Memory power must be reconnected, the engine
started, and the vehicle may have to be put into
operation, to restore trouble codes. Throttle position
calibration values will be recalculated by the ECU
when power is restored and engine started.

The Check Trans light has two functions: to warn the
operator of a system failure and to flash trouble codes
when the test switch is activated.
Normal Operation And Warning
Refer to Fig. 8. When the ignition keyswitch is turned
to position '1', current (24 volts) flows through the
circuit made by Fuse 1, Lines 308 and 87A, turning
'On' the Check Trans light.
When the engine is started, a switch in the ECU
closes, allowing current (24 volts) to flow through the
circuit made by Fuse 7, Lines 330, 215, 208 or 209
and 306. Relay 4 solenoid is energized, opening relay
switch and turning 'Off' the Check Trans light.
Should the ECU detect a system failure, it will open
internal switch, deactivating relay 4 solenoid. Relay
switch closes, turning 'On' the Check Trans light to
warn operator of failure.

VALVE BODY SOLENOIDS
The hydraulic circuits and valves within the electro-
hydraulic valve bodies are controlled by continuous
power solenoids. The solenoids are located in
separate valve bodies and they shift the valve spools
to direct hydraulic oil to the various clutch packs within
the transmission.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Temperature Sensor is mounted in the lockup valve
body cover. The ECU constantly monitors
transmission oil temperature and will not permit shifts
to occur when the oil temperature is -24° C (-10° F) or
below. At this temperature, operation is restricted to
Neutral and both the Do Not Shift and Check Trans
lights will be on. From -22° C (-9° F) to -7° C (+19° F)
operation will be restricted to Neutral, First and
Reverse. Once transmission oil temperature reaches
121° C (250° F) the Check Trans light will come on
and the ECU will restrict operation to Reverse, Neutral
and First through Fourth gears. Temperatures can
easily exceed 121° C (250° F) when the retarder is
being used to help slow the vehicle while descending
grades. When the oil temperature falls below 121° C
(250° F) the Check Trans light will go off. Refer to
Section 190-0270, SWITCHES AND SENSORS.
ELECTRONIC FOOT PEDAL
Refer to Fig. 18. The dual control electronic foot pedal
provides an electronic signal to the engine's fuel
control system in proportion to the degree of pedal
actuation, an electronic signal is also sent to the
transmission ECU.
Note: The electronic controlled engine will override the
electronic foot pedal position until the engine is
warmed up to the correct operating temperature. The
engine MUST be started with the foot 'OFF' the
electronic foot pedal.
The control system continually monitors the engine
and warns the operator when a problem develops. The
system also takes action to prevent damage to the
engine and provides the serviceman with diagnostic
capabilities. Refer to Section 110-0030, ENGINE AND
MOUNTING.

Neutral. To obtain reverse gear whilst the body is held
in the raise position, move the transmission shift lever
to Neutral, then re-select reverse gear. This interlock
will not prohibit shifts to a forward range while the body
is being raised. Refer to Section 190-0270,
SWITCHES AND SENSORS.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The ECU is a small computer with operating limits
programmed into its memory. Whenever the ECU
detects a condition which falls outside those limits, or a
malfunctioning component, the Check Trans light, or
Do Not Shift lights will be activated and a trouble code
stored in the ECU’s memory. Two soft codes
(indicating problems which may inhibit but not prevent
operation) or two hard codes (indicating problems
which will limit or prevent operation), or one of each,
can be stored in the memory at one time. The trouble
codes identify which circuit the problem is in. The
circuits consist of a component such as a solenoid, the
applicable wiring harness and the ECU.
Both the Check Trans and Do Not Shift lights will come
'On' when the ignition keyswitch is turned to position
'1'. The Check Trans light will stay on until the engine
SM 1575 Rev 2 11-00
Page 85
Transmission - CEC Plus II Shift System
Section 120-0070
is started. The 'Do Not Shift' lights will go 'Off' when
the ignition is switched on, unless the ECU has
detected a failure in the system. Depressing the test
button when the engine is running, will turn 'Off' the
Check Trans light and call up a trouble code, if one is
present. In the case of an intermittent problem, such
as a line which shorts to ground occasionally due to
vehicle movement, the lights may go on and off, but a
trouble code will remain stored in the memory.
In an electronic system such as the CEC system, it is
extremely important that connections at terminal
blocks, grounds to vehicle frames, and all connectors
be clean and secure. Connectors may be cleaned with
a good quality solvent which does not conduct
electricity and evaporates quickly (See Special Tools).
Excess solvent should be shaken out or gently blown
out with compressed air after cleaning.
FINDING TROUBLE CODES
Check Trans Light
Running the engine and depressing the test switch will
cause the ECU to enter the diagnostic mode. The
ECU will cause the Check Trans light to flash a trouble
code, if present.
For example: FLASH - PAUSE - FLASH - FLASH -
FLASH - LONG PAUSE denotes a Code 13.
If more than one trouble code is stored in the memory,
the most important code will be flashed first. The
problem indicated by the first code must be corrected
and the code cleared from the memory before another
code can be found.
Diagnostic Data Reader
Using a diagnostic data reader, both codes can be
found at the same time. Plugging the diagnostic data
reader into the Digital Data Line (DDL) connector
(12, Fig. 1) under the dash panel, on the steering
column mounting bracket, will automatically cause the
ECU to enter the diagnostic mode. Ignition keyswitch
must be turned to position '1'.
turned to position '0', then back to position '1 and shift
into Reverse and back to Neutral. If the codes are still
present, the problem has not been corrected.
Note: After clearing a Code 21 (Throttle Position
Sensor) the ignition keyswitch may have to be turned
'On' and 'Off' as many as five times to reset the self
calibration feature of the throttle position sensor.
The following diagnostic procedures are a summary of
troubleshooting procedures given in the Allison
Commercial Electronic Control (CEC) Troubleshooting
Manual SA 2712A. This manual contains detailed step
by step procedures for diagnosing and correcting
problems indicated by the trouble codes.
It is essential that the serviceman has an accurate
Volt-Ohm Meter (VOM) in order to correctly diagnose
problems in the CEC system.
Fig. 20 is an electrical circuit view showing the terminal
numbers and wire numbers for the CEC J1A, J1B and
J3 harnesses connecting the various components of
the system.
Fig. 21 shows the locations of the terminals in Fig. 20
in their connectors. Check for intermittent shorts or
open circuits by moving harnesses with VOM probes
connected to the applicable terminals. For step-bystep procedures for finding shorts or open circuits in
harnesses or components, refer to Allison Commercial
Electronic Control (CEC) Troubleshooting Manual
SA 2712A.
Note: Both 12 and 24 volt circuits are present in the
control box interface. Extreme care must be taken,
when making any repairs to the system, to avoid
damaging the ECU by introducing 24 volts into a 12
volt circuit.
When troubleshooting leads to replacement of the
ECU, always check for an over voltage condition. If too
high a voltage damaged the ECU and the condition is
not corrected the replacement ECU may also be
damaged.
Voltage limits for the ECU are:
CLEARING TROUBLE CODES
Trouble codes should always be cleared from the ECU
memory after repairs are made. To clear the trouble
codes, make sure the ignition keyswitch is turned to
position '1', depress the test switch, shift into Reverse
and wait a few seconds, then shift back to Neutral. If
the codes do not clear, turn the ignition keyswitch is
WARNINGS
To prevent any unexpected shift during
removal of wiring harnesses, shut down
engine and switch 'OFF' both circuit breakers.
Be sure to apply the parking brake, shut
off the engine and block all road wheels before
any troubleshooting of the main valve body
solenoids. Accidental activation of a solenoid
while the engine is running could cause the
vehicle to run away.
Code 13 - Low Battery Voltage
System Response:
1. If transmission is in neutral, Check Trans and Do
Not Shift lights will come on. If forward or reverse is
selected, shift will not occur.
2. If transmission is in forward or reverse and a shift is
made, the code will be set in memory and no lights will
come on. Shifts may be erratic or not made.
Probable Cause:
a. Insufficient voltage supplied to ECU.
b. Intermittent open circuit on power to ECU.
c. Intermittent or partial short to ground on power to ECU.
Remedy:
1. Check battery voltage with VOM. Fully charged
batteries should measure 28 ± 1 volt.
2. Check vehicle charging system. With engine
running, voltage regulator should put out 28 volts.
Charge and recheck batteries.
Probable Cause:
a. Throttle sensor failure.
b. Shorts or open circuits in harness wiring.
Remedy:
1. Check cable for binding.
2. Connect VOM probes to sensor terminals A & C
(L, Fig. 21). If reading is not between 9 000 and
15 000 ohms replace sensor.
3. Connect VOM probes to sensor terminals A & B
(L, Fig. 21). Stroke sensor slowly from closed to full
throttle position and back. If VOM reading does not
increase smoothly from at least 500 ohms to
15 000 ohms, replace sensor.
4. Connect one VOM probe to vehicle ground, other to
sensor terminals A, B & C. VOM meter should not
record continuity.
5. Check J1B harness wiring for shorts or open circuits.
6. If fault cannot be located, replace ECU.
Code 22 - Transmission Output Shaft
Speed Sensor
System Response:
The Check Trans and Do Not Shift lights will come on.
All shifts will be prevented and lockup clutch
disengaged. If this happens due to wheel lockup
(panic braking) or wheel spinning, the engine must be
shut down, ignition keyswitch turned to position '0' and
then back to position '1', engine restarted, and Neutral,
Reverse and Neutral selected to reset ECU.
3. Refer to Fig. 2. Check circuits supplying power to
ECU through interface.
4. Input voltage to ECU can be checked with a digital
analyser. Input voltage should be 10.5 - 16 volts. Place
load on batteries by turning on all vehicle accessories
and recheck input voltage. If input voltage is within
limits and Code 13 recurs, replace ECU. If input
voltage is not within limits check all connections
between battery and ECU.
Code 21 - Throttle Position Sensor
System Response:
When sensor is stroked into error zone, the Check
Trans light will come on. ECU will assume 100%
throttle. Shift will occur at either closed throttle or full
throttle points.
16
Probable Cause:
a. Sensor failure.
b. Open circuit or short in harness wiring.
c. Dirty or loose connections.
d. Sensor not adjusted properly in rear cover.
e. Unusually rapid deceleration, or wheel spinning.
Remedy:
1. Check speed sensor to ensure that it is properly
threaded into rear cover, adjusted, and locked into
place with jam nut.
2. Connect VOM probes to sensor terminals A & B (M,
Fig. 21). If VOM reading is less than 50 ohms or
greater than 200 ohms, replace sensor.
3. Connect one VOM probe to transmission housing,
other to terminal A, then B. VOM meter should not
record continuity.

The Check Trans light will come on. Last good
command from the shift selector will be used. Shifting
may still occur up to and including the range selected.
Probable Cause:
a. Shift selector failure
b. Shorts or open circuits in harness wiring.
Remedy:
1. Check J1A harness connectors at the shift selector
and ECU.
2. Check for shorts or open circuits in J1A harness
wiring. Refer to Fig. 20 for applicable terminals and
wire numbers.
3. If fault cannot be found using steps 1 & 2, install a
new shift selector and reconnect all harness
connectors. Test drive the vehicle and check for
presence of trouble code. If trouble code recurs,
replace new shift selector with old, check connectors
and wiring again. If trouble code is still present,
replace ECU.
2. Check engine coolant temperature.
3. Check oil cooler and lines for blockage.
4. Stop vehicle, run engine at high idle until
temperature drops.

Section 120-0070
DESCRIPTION
The CEC–2 (Commercial Electronic Control, Version 2)
continually monitors the transmission and shift system
electrical components and warns the operator when a
problem develops. It also takes action to prevent
damage to the transmission, and provides the
serviceman with diagnostic capabilities so that
problems can be corrected quickly and easily.
The CEC–2 system used on this vehicle consists of a
gear shift selector, an electronic control unit (ECU),
throttle position sensor, transmission speed sensors (3
off), oil temperature sensor, solenoids, switches,
relays, circuit breakers, fuses, indicator lights and
wiring harnesses.
CEC–2 COMPONENTS
Description and Operation
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) - Contains an
electronic microcomputer. 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 this information to control the transmission
solenoids and valves, supply system status and
provide diagnostic information.

Fig.1 - Power Module
The ECU is programmed to take corrective action to
prevent damage to the transmission if a failure occurs
in the CEC–2 system and has diagnostic capabilities
which allow the serviceman to quickly find and repair or
replace a failed component. The ECU has 3
connectors; Blue - Transmission Connector, Gray Vehicle Connector, Black - Selector Connector.
Power Module - The Power Module is located on the
side of the battery box (Fig.1). The Power Module
contains ignition run fuses and relays, and a timer relay
for the shutdown function of the ECU. The ignition
fuses and relays open power to the ECU. On power
shut down the timer relay remains open for a 30
second period to allow the ECU to down load
information and close down properly (Fig. 2).
CEC–2 Interface Box - Provides the electrical link
between the vehicle harnesses and the CEC–2
harnesses. The interface box contains an ignition
signal fuse and function relays.
Gear Shift Selector - The shift selector is a remote
mounted lever type (Fig. 4). The gear shift selector is
connected to the ECU by a wiring harness. The shift
lever has 6 forward ranges and 2 reverse ranges, as
well as a neutral position. The shift selector has a

WARNING
Do not allow the vehicle to coast in Neutral. This
practice can result in severe transmission damage.
The transmission upshifts and downshifts
automatically between first range and the highest range
selected on the range selector in direct response to
throttle position and transmission output speed.
When Reverse is selected the reverse alarm sounds
and the reverse light illuminates at the rear of the
vehicle. This feature warns personnel to the immediate
rear of the vehicle that the operator has shifted
to reverse.
When drive 'D' is selected, the transmission
automatically upshifts and downshifts through all six
forward ranges as required by loads and travel speeds.
Selecting a lower range (4th, 3rd etc.) limits the highest
range to which the transmission will automatically upshift.
If a lower range is selected while moving forward, the
transmission automatically downshifts sequential to
the selected lower range at maximum controlled engine
speeds. Downshifts will not occur until vehicle is
slowed by use of the service brakes and/or retarder.
When shifting from neutral to start from a standstill,
or to reverse direction, decelerate the engine to idle
speed. To move forward, select drive 'D' and accelerate
the engine to the vehicle load and speed requirements.
The transmission will automatically upshift from 1st
through 6th ranges as travel speed increases.
With the throttle fully depressed, and the mode
selection switch in the Power position, the
transmission upshifts to the next higher range when the
engine attains maximum rated speed, since maximum
power train output is needed under this condition.
At lower throttle settings where minimum power train
performance is required, the transmission will upshift
to the next higher range at less than maximum
rated engine speed.
Upgrades or soft spots might slow travel speed, even
at full throttle, requiring transmission downshifts to
maintain maximum powertrain performance. When this
occurs, the transmission downshifts automatically.

Fig. 4 - Gear Shift Selector
Shift the transmission to the next lowest range if
transmission 'Hunting' or 'Shift Cycling' occurs.
When temporarily stopped, such as for yielding the
right-of-way to a loaded vehicle, the transmission can
be left in the selected range and the vehicle held
stationary with the service brakes.
However, when stopped for a more extended period
with the engine left running, shift the transmission to
neutral to avoid unnecessary heat buildup and apply
the parking brake.
WARNING
Always select Neutral and apply the parking brake
before leaving the operator’s seat.
TURBINE SPEED SENSOR
OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR
Fig. 5 - Speed Sensors Locations
the converter pump and turbine together as a single
unit and allows power to be transmitted mechanically
from the engine directly to the transmission gearing on
a 1:1 ratio. When the lockup clutch is disengaged, the
torque converter acts as a fluid coupling, multiplying
torque when engine speed is significantly higher than
transmission output shaft speed.
When the mode selection switch is in the Power
position, the ECU controls operation of the lockup
clutch according to signals received by the throttle
position sensor (giving engine speed as a percent of
throttle), the transmission output shaft speed sensor,
and range selector. The ECU may delay application of
the lockup clutch and allow torque multiplication by the
torque converter to take place until a balance is
achieved between engine speed and transmission
output shaft speed before activating the lockup clutch.
Speed Sensors - 3 off speed sensors (Fig. 5); Input,
Turbine 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 the serrations on the tone wheel. The
output speed sensor 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
ranges speed sensor information programmed in the
ECU memory.
Mode Selection Switch - Gives the option to select
between transmission Power and Economy shift
schedules. The transmission must be in Neutral before
the switch will function.
The transmission torque converter is equipped with a
lockup clutch which, when engaged by the ECU, locks

Power versus Economy Mode
The Power mode is designed for applications involving
heavy loads and hilly duty cycles where performance
rather than fuel economy is of prime importance.
The Economy mode is designed for applications
involving lighter loads and level duty cycles or where
fuel economy is more important than performance.
In the Economy mode, the ECU controls operation of
the lockup clutch with a timed, preprogrammed
schedule where in second through sixth gears the
lockup clutch is disengaged only long enough to allow
the torque converter’s fluid coupling to absorb shift
shock. Otherwise, the lockup clutch is engaged and no
torque multiplication takes place in second through
sixth gears.
Manual Mode Switch - The manual mode facility is
designed as a Service Technician facility to allow stall
checks and clutch pressure checks to be implemented

by Service Personnel, and permit movement of the
vehicle, if necessary, to a repair area. With the manual
mode switch in the 'On' position, the body up interlock
and hoist interlock pressure switch mechanisms are
disengaged! This allows unauthorised selection of
reverse or any forward gear with the body raised,
constituting a safety hazard. Operators must not use
the manual mode facility when working the vehicle! It is
recommended that the mode selection key is removed
from the unit and retained in a safe place until required
by Service personnel.

Manual Mode Warning Light - This light is located on
the front face of the CEC–2 interface box. The Manual
Mode Warning Light illuminates to alert the operator
when the transmission has been switched to operate in
the manual mode. The light should be 'Off' during
normal operation.

Check Trans Warning Light (Fig. 6) - Illuminates to

or abnormal transmission temperature. The light will
come 'On' when the ignition key switch is turned to

electrical component or abnormal transmission oil
temperature. If transmission oil temperature is too high,
stop the vehicle, select neutral 'N', and increase engine
speed to allow a greater flow of oil to the cooler until oil
temperature drops to normal operating range. In most
cases, a minor fault triggering the check trans warning
light will not prevent normal operation from continuing
but, depending on the nature of the problem, the ECU
could take action to protect the transmission from damage,
such as preventing operating in high gear ranges. If the
check trans light comes 'On', have the problem
diagnosed and corrected at the earliest opportunity.
Converter Mode Light - Illuminates when the
transmission is in torque converter drive. It goes 'Off'
when Lockup is engaged. In order to avoid
unnecessary waste of fuel, if traffic or other road
conditions permit, the operator should modify throttle
position, or gear held, to achieve a steady road speed
with the torque converter lockup engaged (light 'Off').
The Lockup relay in the interface box (Fig. 5) is also
activated by the 20 bar (290 psi) pressure switch on
the foot brake pedal. When this switch is activated the
converter in light will be illuminated due to the
transmission dropping out of converter lock up,
avoiding engine stall.
Transmission Overspeed Light - Illuminates when
the transmission ECU senses transmission RPM
exceeds 2350 RPM.
Electro-Hydraulic Valve Components: The CEC–2
electro-hydraulic valve bodies contain various solenoids
to control hydraulic pressure (Fig. 7). The solenoid
pressure, or lack of pressure, positions shift valves that
apply transmission clutches to produce the range selected
by the ECU inputs (Fig. 8). The ECU is connected to
the solenoids by a wiring harness, with multi-pin twistlock connectors at the valve bodies (Fig.9).
