the digital display are illuminated for more than 12 seconds, the ECU did not
complete initialization. When the digital display is blank, there is no power to the
selector. When the display shows a " " (cateye), a selector-related fault code has
been logged. Conditions which illuminate the CHECK TRANS light will disable the
shift selector and the digital display will show the range actually attained. See
Page 16 for detailed explanation of the CHECK TRANS light. The transmission will
not shift into range if a CHECK TRANS code is active. When the display shows
either R or D has been requested and the display is flashing, the requested range has
not been achieved due to an inhibit function. Some inhibit functions are vehicle-
related and will not result in diagnostic codes. Some examples are mentioned in the
Range Selection section which follows. Check for active codes if no other inhibit
function has been located. Refer to the DIAGNOSIS section for information on
accessing codes using the shift selector. Once
is attained, the transmission
D (Drive)
will shift into the lowest range programmed for the
position, usually first.
D (Drive)
Display Mode/Diagnostic Button. Allows access to optional fluid level check
information and diagnostic code information. Press the display mode/diagnostic
button once to obtain transmission fluid level information (when oil level sensor is
present) and a second time to obtain diagnostic code information.
PUSHBUTTON SHIFT SELECTOR
General Description . The pushbutton shift selector has R, N, D,
,
, a MODE
button, and a digital display.
R Pushbutton . Press this button to select Reverse.
N Pushbutton . Press this button to select Neutral.
D Pushbutton . Press this button to select Drive. The highest forward range available
will appear in the digital display window. The transmission will start out in the
lowest available forward range and advance automatically to the highest range.
,
(Arrow) Buttons . When a lower range is desired, after D (Drive) has been
pressed, press the
(Down) arrow button until the desired range is shown in the
display window. Likewise, if the transmission is held in a low range by the
(Down) arrow, press the
(Up) arrow to request the next higher range.
Continuous pressing of either the
(Up) or
(Down) arrow buttons will request
the highest or lowest range available.
Access fluid level data and diagnostic codes with the pushbutton selector by
pressing the
(Up) and
(Down) arrow buttons at the same time. Refer to
Page 29, FLUID LEVEL CHECK USING THE PUSHBUTTON OR LEVER
SHIFT SELECTOR, or Page 41, DIAGNOSIS for further information. Fluid level
information is displayed (if optional oil level sensor is present) after the first
simultaneous press. Press both buttons again to obtain diagnostic data.
MODE Button and Digital Display . Same function as described in the lever
selector above.

Questions and answers
Trans comm Failure TCM good replace 2 months ago What else could this be?
A transmission failure in an Allison Transmission 3000 MH Series after a TCM replacement could be caused by the following:
1. TCM/ECM Mismatch (DTC P0614): If the engine and transmission controllers are not properly matched or configured, it can lead to communication errors and improper torque control. The engine software may need updating to be compatible with the transmission.
2. Improper Calibration (DTC P0613): If the TCM was not calibrated to match the vehicle’s transmission configuration, it may cause operational issues.
3. Wiring or Connector Issues: Faulty or loose data link connectors or damaged wiring between the TCM and other components can disrupt communication.
4. High TCM Temperature (DTC P0634): If the TCM is exposed to high heat (e.g., near exhaust lines), it can malfunction.
5. Missing Throttle Input (DTC P063E): If the automatic configuration throttle input is not present due to communication or wiring issues, transmission performance may be affected.
6. Filter Maintenance Alert (DTC P088A): Clogged transmission filters can cause pressure drops, triggering alerts and potentially affecting transmission function if not addressed.
Each of these issues could contribute to transmission failure if not resolved after the TCM replacement.
