    Code Explanation

    VOCATIONAL MODELS

    ALLISON TRANSMISSIONS

    Allison transmissions are designed as complete, fully-

    automatic transmission systems. Refer to Figures 1

    through 6. Some models have capacity for six

    forward speeds, neutral, and one reverse. Other

    models with a transfer case or C6 adapter housing

    provide seven forward speeds, neutral, and one

    reverse. However, the electronic controls may be

    custom programmed for four-speed or five-speed

    operation to best meet some vocational requirements.

    Allison transmissions contain hydraulically-actuated,spring-released clutches. Compensation for clutch

    wear occurs automatically. Electronic controls, using

    closed-loop logic, provide optimum driving efficiency

    by shifting at the exact programmed transmission shift

    points for every engine/transmission/vehicle vocation

    combination.

    MODULAR DESIGN

    (Foldouts 16)

    The 3000 and 4000 Product Families transmissions arecomposed of major assemblies called modules. Each

    module may be removed and serviced as a separate

    unit. The modular design of the transmission assures

    proper assembly and simplifies servicing of the

    transmission. The following modules, together with the

    external portion of the electronic control system and

    support equipment, comprise the total transmission

    system.

    INPUT MODULES:

    GEARBOX MODULES

    The basic gearbox modules contain five clutch

    assemblies and three planetary gear sets to provide sixforward speeds, neutral, and one reverse.

    The 4000 Product Family 7-speed transmissions

    contain six clutch assemblies and four planetary gear

    sets to provide seven forward speeds, neutral, and

    reverse.

    Transmissions with six forward ranges contain two

    overdrive ranges, fifth-range, and sixth-range.

    Transmissions with seven forward ranges contain a

    low-range and two overdrive ranges, fifth-range, and

    sixth-range.

    The following transmissions are available with wide

    ratio gearing:

    The functional components of the C1 and C2 clutches

    are:

    Pistons. Return spring assemblies.

    Clutch reaction plates.

    Clutch friction plates.

    Drive hub.

    The C1 clutch reaction plates are splined to and rotate

    with the rotating clutch hub assembly. The C1 clutch is

    applied by charged hydraulic fluid pressing the C1clutch piston, return spring assembly, and clutch

    reaction plates against the clutch friction plates. This

    action causes the C1 drive hub, which is splined to the

    clutch friction plates, to rotate, delivering torque to the

    main shaft assembly.

    The C2 clutch reaction plates are splined to and rotate

    with the rotating clutch drum. The C2 clutch friction

    plates are splined to the C2 drive hub. Chargedhydraulic fluid presses the C2 piston, spring assembly,

    and reaction plates against the clutch friction plates.

    This action causes the C2 drive hub, which is splined to

    the C2 clutch friction plates, to rotate, transmitting

    torque to the P2 planetary assembly

    applied. The Transmission Control Module (TCM)

    signals solenoid valves in the control module to apply

    and release clutches based on speed and power

    requirements.

    P1, P2, or P3 planetary ring gears are held stationary by

    stationary clutches C3, C4, or C5 respectively, when

    the clutches are applied.

    C3 and C4 clutches in the main housing module are

    assembled as a unit. These clutches consist of:

    Piston.

    Piston return plate assembly.

    Clutch plates.

    The P1 ring gear is also enclosed in the C3 clutch

    assembly.

    The C5 friction and reaction plates are components of

    the C5 clutch contained in the main housing. The C5

    piston and spring assembly are assembled as a part ofthe rear cover module, retarder module, or transfer gear

    adapter housing.

    The C3 clutch friction plates mesh with the P1 ring

    gear. The friction plates rotate with the P1 carrier

    P1 PLANETARY GEAR MODULE

    P1 is the first planetary gear set assembly. P1 consists

    Sun gear, driven by the rotating clutch drum. P1 carrier assembly, containing the P1 pinion

    gears.

    P1 ring gear, housed in the C3 clutch assembly

    The P1 carrier is meshed with the P1 ring gear insid

    the C3/C4 clutch assembly. The P1 sun gear is insert

    into the center of the P1 carrier assembly where it

    meshes with the P1 pinion gears. The ring gear of th

    P2 planetary gear set is splined to the P1 carrier and

    meshes with the C4 clutch friction plates.

    The rotation of P1 planetary gears is controlled by th

    application of either the C3 or C4 clutch assembly.

    Input to P1 planetary is provided through the P1 sun

    gear meshing with the P1 carrier.

    P2 PLANETARY GEAR MODULEP2 is the second planetary gear set assembly. P2

    consists of:

    Sun gear, splined to the main shaft.

    P2 carrier assembly, containing the P2 pinion

    26/116

    The P3 sun gear meshes with the P3 pinion gears,

    rotating on the inside of the P3 carrier assembly. The

    transmission output shaft is splined to, and rotates with,

    the P3 carrier assembly.

    MAIN SHAFT MODULE

    The main shaft module passes through the center of the

    transmission gearbox. The P2 and P3 sun gears are part

    of or splined to the main shaft, enabling it to transmit

    torque to the P2 and P3 planetary assemblies. The main

    shaft is splined to the rotating clutch module. Inputtorque to the main shaft is received either through the

    rotating clutch module output or the P2 carrier. The

    main shaft provides the primary path for transmitting

    torque through the various stages of the transmission.

    The 3700 SP uses a special main shaft that extends

    through the P3 sun gear to the C6 clutch in the transfer

    gear housing.

    NOTE:

    With Allison 4th Generation Controls, the retarder

    accumulator solenoid will remain OFF when RMR

    device retarder request percentage is less than

    20 percent. Additionally, the retarder accumulator

    solenoid will not activate when torque request is

    less than 343 Nm (253 lb ft) for 3000 Product Fam-

    ily retarder transmissions and 374 Nm (276 lb ft)

    for the 4000 Product Family retarder transmis-

    sions. This is intended to enhance retarder regula-

    tor valve and relay valve operation at low retarder

    request percentages.

    Operator control of the retarder can be accomplished

    by either of the following two methods. The TCM must

    be calibrated to the proper method to be sure of desired

    retarder operation:

    Both Analog and J1939

    Analog activation is based on a Retarder

    Enable switch, coupled with one or moreAllison Retarder Modulation Request (RMR)

    components to select the desired level of

    retardation.

    Retardation is requested on a limited basis on

    a message from an SAE J1939-based vehicle

    limited by TSC1 torque limit messages sent by certa

    devices on the vehicle network, such as ABS. Refer

    Allison Transmission publication TS3989EN,

    Troubleshooting Manual, Appendix R, for the ERC1and TSC1 messages.

    A master control is required, which permits the

    operator to enable or disable the retarder system

    regardless of the source of retarder activation.

    J1939 Only

    This calibration option should be selected when ther

    will be no analog inputs from the RMR devices. Inpuis based on messages from an SAE J1939-based

    vehicle controller in the form of a single ERC1

    Retarder Selection, Non-Engine parameter, or by on

    or more TSC1 torque control messages. Retarder

    operation may also be limited by TSC1 torque limit

    messages sent by certain devices on the vehicle

    network, such as ABS. Refer to Allison Transmission

    publication TS3989EN, Troubleshooting Manual,

    Appendix R, for the ERC1 and TSC1 messages.

    A master control is required, which permits the

    operator to enable or disable the retarder system

    regardless of the source of retarder activation.

  • 8/10/2019 3000 4000 Principii de Operare

    30/116

    An in-depth discussion of the types and combinations of

    controls, their respective applications, and installation

    recommendations are discussed in Allison Transmission

    Technical Document No. 175, Guidelines for Selectionof Allison 4th Generation Retarder Controls. A brief

    description of each analog device follows.

    Hand LeverThe operator selects OFF or one of six

    levels of retardation. Each successive level sends a

    higher voltage to the TCM and the TCM signals the

    retarder to supply a corresponding amount of

    retardation. Higher voltage to the TCM produces

    increased retardation with maximum retardation inposition six.

    Separate Foot Pedal (No Service Brake Apply)

    The operator selects the amount of retardation by pedal

    position (zero to 100 percent). Maximum retardation is

    obtained at full pedal stroke. A voltage that is

    proportional to pedal movement is sent to the TCM.

    The TCM signals the retarder to supply a

    corresponding amount of retardation. Foot pedals are

    available with different amounts of angular movement

    to fit OEM or body builder requirements.

    Pressure SwitchThis option integrates retarder

    activation with the vehicle service brake system One to

    when certain conditions are met (typical percent

    applies are 33 and 50).

    CombinationAlmost any two of the retarder apply

    systems described above can be used together in the

    same vehicle. A combination of controls allows greater

    flexibility in applying the retarder. Some typical

    combinations used are:

    Hand lever and single pressure switchsix lev-

    els of modulation or 100 percent apply with ser-

    vice brake pressure.

    Hand lever and 3-step pressure switchsix lev-els of modulation or three levels of modulation

    based on service brake apply pressure.

    Auto apply (auto 50 percent on) and single pres-

    sure switch50 percent retarder at certain con-

    ditions or 100 percent apply with service brake

    pressure.

    Auto apply (auto 33 percent on) and two pressure

    switches33 percent retarder at certain condi-tions or 67 percent or 100 percent apply with ser-

    vice brake pressure.

    RETARDER ELECTRONIC CONTROLS

    The electronic retarder controls consist of:

  • 8/10/2019 3000 4000 Principii de Operare

    31/116

    are normally closed (must be electrically energized to

    perform their function).

    The retarder temperature sensor sends retarder

    temperature information to the TCM. The TCM uses

    this data to:

    Turn on a dash light to alert the operator when an

    over-temp condition is present.

    Log diagnostic codes.

    Reduce retarder capacity in over-temp situations.

    Invoke a preselected downshift.

    Control retarder torque to requested level.

    Some input functions and output functions are required

    with retarder equipped transmissions. Input functions

    send a signal to the TCM. Output functions are control

    signals sent from the TCM. The input and output

    functions used in conjunction with the retarder are:

    applied and may also illuminate an optional retarder

    indicator light.

    Retarder Temperature IndicatorThis signal from

    the TCM activates an indicator light when retarder

    temperature has exceeded a calibration limit.

    Retarder/Cruise Control Interactions

    Two control features affect how the retarder operates

    when the vehicle is equipped with cruise control:

    Feature 1: Cruise Control Retarder Auto On Disabl

    This feature applies only to electronic engines that

    communicate with the transmission on either J1587

    J1939. The TCM calibration must specify this featur

    to be either ON or OFF.

    If the feature is ON in the calibration, the TCM

    prohibits retarder operation when cruise is active but

    the throttle is closed, which implies a downhill coasti

    operation. This feature is highly recommended if the

  • 8/10/2019 3000 4000 Principii de Operare

    32/116

    Configuration A. If the retarder is activated by the

    brake pedal with no auto apply:

    Neither Feature 1 nor Feature 2 is required.Configuration B. If the retarder is activated by the

    brake pedal with auto apply:

    Feature 1 keeps the retarder OFF during cruise

    operation when the engine percent load goes to

    zero. Feature 2 would have no effect because

    depressing the brake pedal will turn off cruise

    anyway. Therefore, it doesnt matter if Feature 2

    is turned ON or OFF.

    Configuration C.If the retarder is activated by a lever,

    it will auto apply at the appropriate level according to

    the lever position when throttle reaches zero percent.

    Using Feature 1 and Feature 2Feature 1 will

    keep the retarder OFF during cruise operation

    when the engine percent load goes to zero. If

    Feature 1 has already prevented the auto apply

    and the engine percent load is still at zero, Fea-

    ture 2 will cause the retarder to come on and dis-

    able cruise if the lever is moved to increase

    retarder capacity above a calibrated rate during a

    RETARDER ACCUMULATOR(Refer to Figures H11 Through H14)

    NOTE:The terms left, right, up, and down are directions

    on the figures and hydraulic schematics referenced

    by this description of retarder operation.

    The accumulator is a remotely mounted, sealed,

    cylindrical container that contains a reserve quantity of

    transmission fluid for initial fill of the retarder. The

    accumulator is connected to the retarder by a Size 20

    hose. Also connected to the accumulator is the

    vehicles air system through an air regulator/pressure

    protection valve.

    Transmission fluid stored in the accumulator is

    discharged into the retarder by a piston located in the

    accumulator. This piston is forced toward the right-side

    of the accumulator by air pressure only. Once the

    retarder is deactivated, air pressure is exhausted on theleft-side of the piston and retarder pressure pushes the

    piston back to the left side of the accumulator. This

    recharges the accumulator until the next retarder

    application. After the retarder flow valve shifts,

    converter out pressure is aligned to the cooler circuit

  • 8/10/2019 3000 4000 Principii de Operare

    33/116

    cooler circuit. The converter flow circuit is

    aligned to an auxiliary sump cooler in the vehi-

    cle, if so equipped.

    When SS2 is energized, vehicle air pressure

    strokes the retarder accumulator piston to the

    right. Oil stored in the accumulator discharges

    into the retarder housing, which initiates vehicle

    retardation.

    The initial charge of fluid is continuously supple-

    mented by retarder charge pressure from the

    retarder regulator valve. The TCM varies currentto PCS5 to achieve the desired retarder output

    torque based on calibrated capacity, request per-

    centage, and output speed.

    The orifice located in the circuit at the bottom

    of the regulator valve bore damps pressure fluc-

    tuations within the retarder hydraulic circuit pro-

    viding a stable retarder charging pressure.

    The orifice located in the circuit at the bottom

    of the relay valve bore limits retarder charge

    pressure in the event of a stuck open retarder

    regulator valve. If the regulator valve sticks open,

    charge pressure would increase and approach

    Main pressure is exhausted from the right side

    large retarder flow valve. The flow valve move

    right due to spring force acting on the left side

    the valve. This opens an exhaust path that evacates the retarder cavity.

    Converter out fluid is redirected to the main

    transmission oil cooler and lube circuit. Con-

    verter out pressure keeps the accumulator

    charged.

    The 4000 Product Family retarders contain one

    additional valvean exhaust check valve. The functiof the exhaust check valve is to prevent drawing flui

    from the sump into the retarder cavity when the

    retarder is in the OFF mode. This is specific only to

    4000 Product Family transmissions due to the diamet

    of the retarder housing and the placement of the

    retarder valve body.

    TRANSFER GEAR MODULE(DROPBOX) (Figure 3, Foldout 3)

    The 3000 Product Family 7-speed transmission (also

    called the Drop-7) uses a transfer gear module

    consisting of the following:

  • 8/10/2019 3000 4000 Principii de Operare

    34/116

    The addition of the transfer gear module provides the

    vehicle with the following:

    Seven forward ranges

    Neutral

    Reverse

    Full-time, all-wheel drive capability

    The C6 clutch is engaged to provide a first-range with a

    deeper gear ratio than the first-range of the straight-

    through transmission.

    The output adapter housing contains the C5 clutch

    piston and provides a mounting face for the transfer

    case.

    The transfer case is mounted to the adapter housing and

    extends below the transmission. A transmission output

    shaft adapter is splined to the P3 carrier hub. The

    transfer case charging pump and the transfer case drive

    gear, installed between the P3 carrier and the C6 clutch

    assembly, are mounted on and driven by the output

    shaft adapter. The drive gear directs torque into the

    transfer case. When engaged, the stationary C6 clutch

    holds the main shaft and provides first-range operation.

    The transfer case idler gear is installed between the

    transfer case drive gear and driven gear. The idler gear

    transfers torque from the drive gear to the driven gear.

    Therefore, the driven gear turns in the same direction

    as the drive gear.

    The transfer case driven gear meshes with the P4

    planetary assembly which drives the front and rear

    output shafts. When the C7 differential clutch is

    engaged (in difficult traction situations), the outputs are

    locked. When the C7 clutch is not engaged, there is a

    30/70 split in driving torque (30 percent to the front

    driveline).

    The transmission hydraulic system provides the

    pressure to apply the C6 and C7 clutches and to

    lubricate the transfer case components. The scavenge

    pump mounted on the right-hand PTO pad returns

    transmission fluid from the transfer case back into themain housing to supplement lube pressure. The oil

    pump in the transfer case provides lube to the transfer

    case components when the vehicle is being towed with

    the wheels on the ground.

    TRANSMISSION CONTROL

    MODULE (TCM)

    The TCM (refer to Figure 12) is a microcomputer thatis available in the following three models:

    Model A41the basic configuration used by

    6-speed 3000 and 4000 Product Families trans-

    mission in a 12V electrical system.

    Model A42the expanded configuration used by

    retarder-equipped or 7-speed 3000 and 4000

    Product Families transmission with a 12V elec-

    trical system.

    Model A43the universal configuration used by

    24V applications.

    The TCM is a microcomputer that receives and

    processes signals from various switches and sensors.

    TCMs are available in both 12V and 24V

    configurations to match the configuration of the vehicle

    electrical system.Input from the operator is sent to the TCM via the shift

    selector and vehicle interface wiring. The TCM

    determines:

    Shift sequences

    determine the characteristics of a shift in progress. The

    TCM includes flash memory where program

    information, calibration information, and optimum

    shift calibration for a specific vocation are stored.

    Calibration and program information can be changed

    electronically. Actual transmission shift characteristics

    are compared to the optimum shift calibration stored in

    the TCM. If the reported shift characteristics are not

    within programmed limits, the TCM alters solenoid

    current commands to bring the shift within the limits.

    The TCM produces excellent shift quality byconstantly adjusting for changes in operating

    conditions, applying closed loop control, and using

    adaptive logic.

    The TCM constantly monitors operating conditions

    such as battery voltage and transmission sump

    temperature and adjusts shift parameters accordingly.

    The closed loop control makes during shiftadjustments. These adjustments in shift characteristics

    are based on vehicle conditions such as grade, load,

    and engine power. After a shift is completed, the TCM

    compares the shift to an ideal shift profile in the

    TCM calibration and makes adjustments before the

  • 8/10/2019 3000 4000 Principii de Operare

    39/116

    The TCM has an autodetect feature. Autodetect is

    active within the first 30 seconds of the first 24 engine

    starts or 49 engine starts, depending upon the

    component or sensor being detected.

    Autodetect searches for the presence of the following

    transmission components or data inputs.

    Even after autodetect has been completed, it can be

    reset to monitor an additional group of engine starts.

    Reset may be necessary if a device known to be present

    is not detected or if an autodetectable component or

    sensor was added after the initial vehicle build.

    Reset is accomplished by using the Allison DOCdiagnostic tool. It also may be used to override

    autodetect and manually enter the component or sensor

    to be recognized by the TCM by changing the

    appropriate customer modifiable constants (CMC).

    During the first 24 engine starts, autodetect does not

    retain what was detected on the previous engine star

    For example, if a retarder was detected on engine

    start 23, PCS5 diagnostics would be performed untilthe TCM was turned off. If PCS5 then failed after th

    TCM was turned off, but prior to engine start 24,

    autodetect would not know that a retarder was prese

    on engine start 24 and no diagnostics would be

    conducted for PCS5.

    The TCM is programmed to protect the transmission

    and other vehicle driveline components from abuse b

    inhibiting actions such as full-throttle neutral-to-rangshifts and high-speed direction changes.

    The TCM determines if a system malfunction exists

    and stores diagnostic codes related to the malfunctio

    The codes, accessed by the operator or service

    mechanic, are used in diagnosing persistent or

    intermittent trouble in the system (refer to Section 4)

    at the control port. As the variable metering orifice is

    opened (Figure 14), fluid flows to exhaust through the

    fixed supply orifice resulting in a pressure drop across

    the supply orifice and a lower pressure at the control

    port. The larger the variable metering orifice, the more

    fluid is bled to exhaust and the lower the pressure at the

    control port.

    Variable bleed solenoids are of a closed end design

    meaning they have a shut-off feature that minimizes

    fluid flow in the minimum pressure state. When the

    metering orifice is full open (Figure 15), a ball closes

    off the supply orifice. The fluid in the control port is

    bled to exhaust resulting in minimum pressure at the

    control port without fluid flow from the supply port.

    NORMALLY LOW AND NORMALLYHIGH VBS SOLENOIDS

    There are two types of VBS used in the 3000 and 4000

    Product Families transmissions, normally low (NL)

    and normally high (NH).

    port of the solenoid to either supply pressure or

    The PWM solenoid has two o-rings and three ports:

    Supply port in the side of the solenoid snout

    between the o-rings

    Control port at the end of the snout

    Exhaust port out the back of the solenoid

    The PWM solenoid (refer to Figure 15) is normally low

    (NL) which means the supply port is blocked and the

    control port is connected to the exhaust port when de-

    energized. When sufficient electrical current is supplied

    to the solenoid, the supply port is connected to the

    control port and the exhaust port is blocked.

    During application of a clutch, the TCM turns the

    solenoid ON and OFF at an established frequency,

    typically between 60 and 100 times per second. The

    longer the solenoid is left ON, the higher the effective

    pressure at the clutch.

    The 3000 Product Family 7-speed transmission uses a

    PWM solenoid to control the differential lock clutch.

    UPSHIFT CLUTCH CONTROL

    The upper curve on the chart in Figure 16 representsbi d d i i l hif Th iddl

    TCM commands an automatic range upshift to begin

    (refer to Figure 16).

    At shift initiation, the solenoid is commanded

    fully ON for a period of time. This is called Vol-

    ume Ratio (VR). This is done to start the piston

    moving. The solenoid pressure command during

    this period is a relative high flow. VR is an

    important troubleshooting tool. A significant

    change indicates a clutch apply problem that

    requires attention.

    At the end of VR, the oncoming clutch is at its

    Initial Oncoming Pressure.

    The solenoid is signaled by the TCM to increase

    pressure to the oncoming clutch at the Open

    Loop Ramp Rate (OLRR). The OLRR is a preset

    rate of increase in clutch pressure that will con-

    tinue until Turbine Speed Pull Down (TSPD) is

    detected.

    During VR and OLRR of the oncoming clutch,the off-going clutch-apply pressure is decreasing.

    After TSPD is detected, the TCM enters Closed

    Loop Control (CLC) of the oncoming clutch.

    CLC is the period when the TCM is actively con-

    If communication between the shift selector and TCM

    is not valid, both digits will be blanked for up to 12

    seconds and then changed to a cateye (-/-). Other

    than temporary blanking due to lost communication, ablank display generally means the shift selector has

    failed or not powered.

    OIL LEVEL DISPLAY

    In oil level display mode, transmission fluid level will

    be displayed as the number of quarts high or low. If the

    proper conditions to measure oil level have been met, a

    count down timer or oil level fault code will bedisplayed.

    If the transmission is held in range due to a DO NOT

    SHIFT condition, the left or top display digit will be

    blanked and range requests from the pushbutton shift

    selector keypad will be ignored by the TCM.

    PUSHBUTTON SHIFT SELECTOR(STRIP-TYPE)

    The buttons (refer to Figure 17) available on the strip-

    type pushbutton shift selector (including 7-speed) are:

    R* Press this button to select reverse. The Rbut-

    ton will be illuminated and flashed if theshift to reverse is inhibited.

    N Press this button to select Neutral.The Nbut-

    ton will be illuminated.

    D* Press this button to select Drive (forward).

    The Dbutton will be illuminated and flashed

    if the shift to Drive is inhibited.The trans-

    mission will start in the lowest available

    range and shift automatically to the highestavailable range depending upon vehicle

    operating conditions.

    3 (if present)The 3button will be illuminated

    and flashed if the forward shift is inhibited

    shifts when a damaging or undesirable range

    engagement would occur. Some vehicles require

    a full apply of the service brakes before a shift

    out of Neutral is allowed. Some operationalinhibits require re-selection of the desired

    range.

    If the transmission is held in range due to a DO NOT

    SHIFT condition, the button lights will be turned OFF

    and range requests from the shift selector will be

    ignored by the TCM.

    LEVER SHIFT SELECTOR

    The lever shift selector (refer to Figure 18) is an

    electro-mechanical control containing a two digit

    display (one digit above the other). The operator moves

    the lever to select a transmission range. For straight-

    through (six ranges) models, the lever shift selector

    may have four, five, or six forward range positions,

    N(Neutral), and R(Reverse). The 3000 and 4000Product Families 7-speed models may have up to seven

    forward range positions. The ranges available on the

    shift selector depend upon the shift selector installed

    and upon the program in the TCM. The lever shift

    HOLD OVERRIDE UPSHIFT SHIFTSCHEDULE

    The hold override upshift shift schedule prevents

    engine overspeed by upshifting the transmission intothe next higher range. The hold upshift shift schedule is

    not activated unless the transmission is in a range lower

    than the highest available range. Hold upshifts occur at

    speeds higher than those for normal upshifts.

    PRESELECT DOWNSHIFTSHIFT SCHEDULE

    The preselect downshift shift schedule permits thedriver to preselect a lower range. The transmission will

    downshift when an overspeed condition will not result

    after the shift. The downshifts occur at speeds higher

    than those at which normal downshifts occur.

    Use preselect to enhance vehicle braking and cooling.

    Preselect keeps engine speed high which increases

    braking effect and engine water flow. Preselect also

    enhances the effectiveness and cooling of the hydraulicretarder when descending long grades.

    DIGITAL DISPLAY

    All shift selectors except the strip-type pushbutton use

    The two 10-amp fuses in the VIM protect the main

    power to the TCM circuit and the TCM to ignition

    circuit. The VIM relays provide switched outputs to a

    specific function when actuated by the TCM. Tworelays provide output to the reverse warning and

    neutral start circuits and four relays are available for

    special function outputs.

    Additional circuits from the TCM pass directly through

    the VIM and provide power, battery ground, and output

    to the electronic speedometer.

    THROTTLE POSITIONSENSOR (TPS)

    On vehicles not equipped with electronically-

    controlled engines, a throttle position sensor (TPS),

    which is a sliding resistor sensor (refer to Figure 20), is

    attached to the engine fuel control linkage. An analog

    TPS is seldom used. However, a discussion of its

    operation is provided below.

    The sensor is actuated by the mechanical throttle cable

    that causes the contacts of the resistor to move along

    the resistive strip (refer to Figure 21) and continuously

    sends the exact throttle position to the TCM.

    The TPS is not used in vehicles equipped with

    electronically-controlled engines. On those vehicles, the

    throttle position data is sent from the engine electronic

    controls directly to the transmission electronic controlsover one of the serial communication links (J1708/

    1587, J1939, CAN) or via a PWM signal to the TPS

    input. The TCM will autodetect the throttle signal. The

    throttle signal can also be set manually via Allison

    DOCdiagnostic tools.

    The signal wires from the sensor are formed as twisted

    pairs to cancel magnetically induced fields. Noise from

    other sources is eliminated by using two-wire

    differential inputs at the TCM.

    ENGINE SPEED SENSORS

    Engine speed sensors (Figure 23) are externally

    WIRING HARNESSES

    EXTERNAL WIRING HARNESS

    The transmission uses external wiring harnesses to connectthe various electronic system components. These external

    harnesses are supplied by the vehicle manufacturer. A

    typical 4thGeneration Controls wiring harness and

    electronic components are illustrated in Figures 24.

    Control system configuration for various vocations

    may be adapted to operator needs and to vehicle

    requirements. The basic harness provides connection

    to the TCM from the following:

    Vehicle interface wiring and the vehicle interfa

    module Diagnostic tool connector

    Shift selector

    J1939 Controller Area Network (CAN)

    Transmission connectors (feedthrough harness

    speed sensors, etc.

    58/116

    3000 and 4000 Product Families transmissions (except

    7-speed) equipped with an output retarder have

    additional connectors for:

    Retarder control

    Retarder accumulator

    Retarder temperature

    Output speed sensor

    Vehicles using a secondary shift selector require an

    additional connector for the second shifter.

    INTERNAL WIRING HARNESS

    The internal wiring harness (refer to Figure 26)

    provides connection between the external harness and

    the:

    Internal solenoids

    Turbine speed sensor (3000 Product Family only)

    PS1 pressure switch

    Transmission fluid level sensor

    Sump temperature sensor

    TRANSID (TIDA)

    The TransID feature (refer to Figure 27) has been

    developed to allow the TCM to automatically

    determine certain transmission configurations and to

    adjust the calibration accordingly. This will allow

    Allison Transmission to make minor changes and

    improvements that affect calibration without

    requiring precise coordination of new TCM

    calibrations with transmission changes. In general,

    TCMs with calibrations for a new transmission

    configuration will be shipped several months prior totransmission shipment. This should make sure that

    when a TCM is mated with the new transmission, the

    appropriate calibration will be available. In many

    cases, the part numbers of the transmission and

    calibrated TCM will not be changed. This will reduce

    the need for customers to use cross-referenced lists

    of transmission and calibrated TCM assemblynumbers when transmission changes are made.

  • 8/10/2019 3000 4000 Principii de Operare

    59/116

    When a TCM with an older calibration is mated with a

    new transmission, a diagnostic code will be logged.

    Recalibrating the TCM is generally all that is required

    to resolve the incompatibility. Customers can continueto order specific transmission assembly numbers and

    calibrated TCM assembly numbers and receive all

    changes made to the transmissions and all calibrations

    needed. This will reduce the number of assembly

    number changeovers with which a customer must

    contend as changes are incorporated into Allison

    transmissions.

    temperature relationship for the ON/OFF solenoid,

    pressure control solenoid, and retarder air solenoid,

    Section FouELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS

  • 8/10/2019 3000 4000 Principii de Operare

    61/116

    One of the advanced electronic features of the Allison

    4thGeneration transmissions is diagnostic capability.

    Using the digital diagnostic codes, an operator or

    service mechanic can isolate the nature, course, andseverity of a problem when it first occurs. This

    capability reduces the time and cost of troubleshooting

    the transmission if a problem should arise.

    NOTE:

    The diagnostic tests described in this section are

    dependent upon information from the speed sen-

    sors. Diagnostic codes indicating a condition

    requiring correction may be due to faulty speed

    sensors when no mechanical cause appears to be

    present.

    RANGE/SHIFT TESTS

    During each shift the TCM performs tests to check

    the transmission range and to verify that a shift is

    being made properly. These tests are (refer to

    Figure 31):

    Range verification

    Solenoid stuck ON Solenoid stuck OFF

    PS1 pressure switch

    RANGE VERIFICATION

    Range verification is continuously tested (refer to

    Figure 31) when a shift is not in progress. Range

    verification verifies that the current range attained is trange commanded by the TCM. The test checks the

    current gear ratio by comparing the turbine and outp

    speeds. This speed ratio is then compared to the spee

    ratio (stored in memory) of the range the TCM has

    commanded.

    If the two ratios do not match, a diagnostic code is

    logged and the TCM commands an appropriate

    response to the condition.

    PULL DOWN

  • 8/10/2019 3000 4000 Principii de Operare

    62/116

    SOLENOID STUCK ON TEST

    The off-going ratio test (refer to Figure 31) is

    performed while a shift is in progress. Within a set time

    after a shift has been commanded, the TCM determinesthe ratio between turbine speed and output speed. The

    speed ratio is compared to the speed ratio of the

    previous range. If the previous speed ratio is still

    present after a period of time, the TCM assumes the

    off-going clutch did not release. The shift will be tried

    twice to verify the condition. If the previous speed ratio

    is still present, a diagnostic code is logged and the

    TCM commands the transmission to the previousrange.

    The off-going ratio test is applied during the interval

    between the turbine speed Shift Initiation point and the

    Pull Down Detected point.

    SOLENOID STUCK OFF TEST

    The oncoming ratio test (refer to Figure 31) isperformed near the end of a shift in progress. The

    oncoming ratio test checks turbine speed and output

    speed to determine if the transmission is in the range

    commanded by the TCM When the ratios do not

    The TCM also uses PS1 to verify that the C1 and C2

    latch valves are in the correct position in second

    through sixth range. PS1 pressurizes when both latch

    valves are stroked downward, and exhausts when either

    latch valve is de-stroked (stroked upward). Using PS1s

    signal, the TCM checks that both latch valves are

    stroked down after shifting into second range and that

    the two latch valves remain in that position while in

    second through fifth ranges. The TCM also checks that

    the C1 latch valve moves to the de-stroked position

    after shifting into sixth range. If the TCM detects PS1

    in an incorrect state, i.e. switch exhausted in second

    through fifth range, or switch pressurized in sixthrange, then the TCM will set a diagnostic code.

    CHECK TRANS LIGHT

    The electronic control system is programmed to inform

    the operator of a problem with the transmission system

    and automatically take action to protect the operator,

    vehicle, and transmission. To do this, the TCM restricts

    shifting, turns on the CHECK TRANSlight on theinstrument panel, and registers a diagnostic code.

    NOTE:

    For some problems diagnostic codes may be regis-

  • 8/10/2019 3000 4000 Principii de Operare

    63/116

    performing as designed and is operating with reduced

    capabilities. Before turning the ignition off, the

    transmission may be operated for a short time in the

    attained range to limp home for service assistance.

    Service should be performed immediately to minimize

    the potential for damage to the transmission.

    When the CHECK TRANSlight comes on and the

    ignition switch is turned off, the transmission will

    remain in N(Neutral) until the CHECK TRANSlight

    is cleared.

    Generally, while the CHECK TRANSlight is on,

    upshifts and downshifts will be restricted and directionchanges (DR, RD) will not occur. The lockup clutch

    is disengaged when transmission shifting is restricted

    or during any critical transmission malfunction.

    DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS

    Allison DOC diagnostic tools (refer to Figure 32) are

    used to assist in installation and troubleshooting.However, Allison DOCfor PDAService Tool canonly read data and codes.

    DIAGNOSTIC CODES

    Diagnostic codes are numerical reports of malfunctio

    in transmission operation. A diagnostic code consist

    of a letter (C, P, or U) and four digits (example, P097These codes are logged in a list in the TCM memory

    with the most severe or otherwise most recent code

    listed first.

    When accessing codes via the shift selector, only fiv

    can be displayed at any time and each has a designati

    such as D1, D2......D5. If a new code is logged into t

    memory, it will replace the oldest non-active code in

    the display. If all five of the existing displayed codesare active, the code with the lowest priority that is no

    included on the severity list is dropped from the

    display. Access to the diagnostic codes and code

    information is through one of the following:

    Pushbutton and lever shift selectors

    The TCM separately stores the active and historical

    (non-active) codes. An active code is any code that i

    current in the TCM decision-making process.
