Allison 3000 & 4000 Gen 4 Fault Code: P2730 Pressure Control Solenoid 1 (PCS1) Control Circuit High

DIAGNOSTIC RESPONSE:
DNS, SOL OFF (hydraulic default)

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
Pressure Control Solenoid 1 (PCS1) is a normally open solenoid used to apply the C1 clutch in 1st – 4th range. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) commands the solenoid OFF to produce hydraulic pressure in the clutch apply circuit. When PCS1 is commanded ON, the C1 clutch is released. The TCM sends control current to PCS1 from High Side Driver 2 (HSD2) via wire 171 . HSD2 is continuously ON unless the TCM detects a fault condition. The TCM regulates the amount of current to PCS1 by switching PCS1 low side driver ON and OFF. Wire 136 completes the circuit between PCS1 and its low side driver. DTC P2730 indicates that the TCM has detected a failed low condition in the PCS1 electrical circuit. The condition may exist in the high side (wire 171) or low side (wire 136).

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC:
TCM initialized normally and engine speed above 200 rpm.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC:
This DTC sets when the TCM detects PCS1 low side driver has been detected in a failed high state.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS:
When DTC P2730 is active:
1. If failure occurs while in a forward range, then shifts to another forward range. If failure occurs while in Neutral (N), the transmission remains in Neutral (N). If failure occurs while in Reverse (R), the transmission remains in Reverse (R) or shifts to Neutral (N). Once range is attained, transmission will be locked in range. There is no response to shift selector requests.
2. DTC is stored in the TCM history.
3. The TCM inhibits Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) engagement.
4. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates.
5. The TCM freezes shift adapts (DNA).

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC:
Use the diagnostic tool to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS:
DTC P2730 can be caused by:
1. PCS1 issues such as:
– W136 shorted to another wire in chassis harness.
– W136 (terminal 4 of 20-way) shorted to another wire in internal transmission harness.
– PCS1 defective.
2. Broken or defective connector assemblies allowing pushed back pins to short together.
3. Unlocked connectors, missing seal plugs allowing moisture in connectors.
4. Defective TCM.

Allison 3000 & 4000 Gen 4 Fault Code: P2740 Retarder Oil Temperature Hot

DIAGNOSTIC RESPONSE:
None

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
A retarder Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor monitors retarder cavity fluid temperature. The sensor consists of a thermistor that varies its resistance value based on the temperature of the fluid in the retarder housing. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) supplies a 5V reference voltage signal into a voltage-sensing network that is connected to one side of the retarder temperature sensor on W175. The other side of the retarder temperature sensor is connected to the TCM analog ground W158.

The resistance value of the retarder temperature sensor determines the voltage drop in the retarder temperature sensor circuit. As resistance changes, the voltage drop across the thermistor will also change and vary the retarded temperature sensor input voltage on wire 175. When retarder fluid is cold, the retarder temperature sensor resistance is high, and produces a large voltage drop across the retarder temperature sensor circuit. The TCM, therefore, detects a high retarder temperature sensor input voltage during cold conditions. As the retarder fluid temperature warms to normal operating temperature, the resistance decreases and produces a smaller voltage drop across the retarder temperature sensor. As a result, the TCM detects a lower sensor input voltage on W175 during hot oil conditions. The TCM uses retarder temperature information to restrict retarder operation and reduce fluid temperature when a retarder over heat condition is detected.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC:
1. After TCM initializes normally and engine speed is above 200 rpm for more than 5 seconds, this DTC test runs at 0.25 second intervals.
2. Retarder autodetected or forced present by CMC (Override Retarder Autodetected).
3. This test is disabled for this ignition cycle when a failure is reported for this DTC, DTC P2742 or DTC P2743.
4. The TCM detects retarder oil temperature less than 201°C (394°F) for more than 10 seconds.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC:
Retarder TCT sensor signal for fluid temperature higher than 166°C (331°F for more than 10 seconds.

NOTE: The TCM is detecting voltage on W175. An unusually low input voltage implies low thermistor resistance, which corresponds to an unusually high retarder oil temperature measurement.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS:
When DTC P2740 is active, the following conditions occur:
1. The TCM does not illuminate the CHECK TRANS light.
2. DTC is stored in TCM history.
3. Retarder command reduced.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC/CHECK TRANS LIGHT:
The DTC goes inactive and the TCM cancels the DTC active actions when the retarder TFT sensor signals that the fluid temperature is below 166°C (331°F) for 10 seconds or more.

Use the diagnostic tool to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS:
NOTE: DTC may occur in vehicles with history or DTC P2742. Follow the diagnostics steps in DTC P2742 before proceeding to the diagnostic steps for this DTC. Repairing the condition that sets DTC P2742 will likely eliminate this DTC.

DTC P2740 may be caused by:
1. Incorrect transmission fluid fill.
2. Defective retarder TFT sensor.
3. Defective TCM.
4. Transmission fluid temperature in retarder reaching over 166°C (331 °F) for 10 seconds.
5. Inadequate or obstructed vehicle cooling system.
6. Non-bypassed engine coolant thermostats that are not opening in time may cause overheat condition for transmission fluid temperature. Monitor retarder fluid temperature using diagnostic tool and review transmission overheat and retarder information in General Troubleshooting of Performance Complaints.

The retarder TFT sensor resistance is available on the diagnostic tool Data Monitor grid. Prior to ‘Connect’ for diagnostic tool, check the ‘Troubleshoot Specific Problem’ box under “Connection Options” and then check the ‘Sensor, Voltage, Ohms, and Counts Data’ box.

Check if retarder TFT sensor resistance is increasing, decreasing, or stationary with fluctuations in fluid temperature. Normal circuit operation is indicated if sensor resistance decreases as fluid temperature increases, and sensor resistance increases as fluid temperature decreases.

Using the diagnostic tool, monitor the transmission fluid temperature to verify that it rises in cycles and then stabilizes.

Monitor and record snapshot fluid temperature.

Follow transmission overheat troubleshooting in General Troubleshooting of Performance Complaints for problems: OVERHEATING INDICATED BY DTCs P0218, P2740 OR FLUID CONDITION, and if equipped with a retarder follow problem RETARDER FEELS WEAK.

Allison 3000 & 4000 Gen 4 Fault Code: P2742 Retarder Oil Temperature Sensor Circuit Low Input

DIAGNOSTIC RESPONSE:
Use default retarder temperature values

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
A retarder Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor monitors retarder cavity fluid temperature. The sensor consists of a thermistor that varies its resistance value based on the temperature of the fluid in the retarder housing. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) supplies a 5V reference voltage signal into a voltage-sensing network that is connected to the TCM analog ground W158.

The resistance value of the retarder temperature sensor determines the voltage drop in the retarder temperature sensor circuit. As resistance changes, the voltage drop across the thermistor will also change which likewise varies the sensor input voltage on wire 175. When retarder fluid is cold the sensor resistance is high, which produces a large voltage drop across the temp sensor circuit. The TCM, therefore, detects a high sensor input voltage during cold conditions. As the retarder fluid temperature warms to normal operating temperature, the resistance decreases producing a smaller voltage drop across the temp sensor. As a result, the TCM detects a lower sensor input voltage on W175 during hot oil conditions. The TCM uses retarder temperature information to restrict retarder operation and thus reduce fluid temperature whenever a retarder over-heat condition is detected.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC:
1. After TCM initializes normally and engine speed is above 200 rpm for more than 5 seconds, the DTC test runs at 0.25 second intervals.
2. Retarder autodetected or forced present by CMC (Override Retarder Autodetect).
3. This test is disabled for this ignition cycle when a failure is reported for this DTC or DTC P2743.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC:
The TCM detects retarder oil temperature greater than 201°C (394°F) for more than 10 seconds.

NOTE: The TCM is detecting voltage on W175. An unusually low input voltage implies low thermistor resistance, which corresponds to an unusually high retarder oil temperature measurement.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS:
When DTC P2742 is active, the following conditions occur:
1. The TCM does not illuminate the CHECK TRANS light.
2. DTC is stored in TCM history.
3. TCM uses default retarder temperature values.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC/CHECK TRANS LIGHT:
Use the diagnostic tool to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warms-up cycles without failure.

DIAGNOSTICS AIDS
DTC P2742 may be caused by:
1. Incorrect transmission fluid fill.
2. W175 shorted to ground, or shorted to another wire in chassis harness.
3. Broken or defective connector assemblies that cause pins to short together.
4. Unlocked connectors, missing or damaged seals, missing seal plugs, that allow moisture into connectors.
5. Defective retarder TFT sensor.
6. Defective TCM.
7. Transmission fluid temperature in retarder reaching over 201°C (394°F) for 10 seconds.
8. Inadequate or obstructed vehicle cooling system.
9. Non-bypassed engine coolant thermostats that are not opening in time may cause overheat condition for transmission fluid temperature. Monitor retarder fluid temperature using diagnostic tool and review transmission overheat and retarder information in General Troubleshooting of Performance Complaints.

The retarder TFT sensor resistance is available on diagnostic tool Data Monitor grid. Prior to ‘Connect’ for diagnostic tool, check the ‘Troubleshooting Specific Problem’ box under the “Connection Options” and then check the ‘Sensor, Voltage, Ohms, and Counts Data’ box.

Check if retarder TFT sensor resistance is increasing, decreasing, or stationary with fluctuations in fluid temperature. Normal circuit operation is indicated if sensor resistance decreases as fluid temperature increases, and sensor resistance increases as fluid temperature decreases.

Refer to DTC P2740 and DTC P0218 or General Troubleshooting of Performance Complaints as guidelines for troubleshooting vehicle cooling issues.
