68RFE PRE-DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

Note. This vehicle uses a Cummins Control Module which controls the Transmission operation and the Diesel engine operation. In these procedures, the Cummins Control Module is referred to as the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

  1. Perform the following before attempting any diagnostic procedures: With the scan tool check pinion factor (if equipped) for proper tire identification and program or reprogram if necessary. Check the transmission fluid level. If the fluid level is low, locate and repair any leaks and fill the transmission to the proper level. Refer to the appropriate Service Information for procedures. Many transmission symptoms can be caused by a low fluid level. Check the battery. To avoid false diagnosis, testing should only be performed with the battery fully charged. With the scan tool, read Engine (PCM) DTCs. If DTCs are present, refer to the appropriate Electrical Diagnostic Information and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure(s) before proceeding. With the scan tool, read Transmission (PCM) DTCs. Record all Stored, Active, and Pending DTC information. Diagnose any Pending DTC as a matured DTC. With the scan tool, read and record the Event Data. Use this data to identify the conditions in which the DTC was set. NOTE: DTC Event Data may exist even if no DTCs are stored. DTC Event Data is only erased by a Battery Disconnect, reflash, or QuickLearn procedure. Clearing DTCs does NOT erase the DTC Event Data. Some DTCs require two "bad trips" before they are stored (and the MIL illuminates). The transmission may enter "limp-in" mode during the first "bad trip," but if the fault condition is not present after the vehicle is restarted, the pending DTC may be cleared without lighting the MIL. Nevertheless, the DTC Event Data for the pending DTC will remain stored and can still be retrieved with the scan tool. If the customer reports a "limp-in" event but no DTCs are present, check the DTC Event Data. Performing a Battery Disconnect will clear all Event Data and reset all learned Transmission values to the default values, which may temporarily result in erratic shift schedules. With the scan tool, perform the Shift Lever Position Test. If the test fails with an error code, refer to the diagnostic procedure for P0706 Transmission Range Sensor Rationality. If the test fails without an error code, adjust the shift linkage in accordance with the Service Information. For Gear Ratio Error DTCs or shift quality complaints, use the scan tool to view CVI Monitor data. Read and record the Clutch Volume Index information. Use the wiring diagram as a guide. Inspect the wiring and connectors related to this circuit. Repair as necessary. Refer to the When Monitored and Set Conditions for this DTC. DTCs can set at ignition on, at start up, after driving under specific conditions and after diagnostic monitors have been run. Perform any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) for controller software update information. Some conditions can be corrected by upgrading the (PCM) controller software. Were there any repairs made that fixed the vehicle? Yes Testing complete. Perform the appropriate TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «68RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457914-S21579803282012030200000) . No Refer to «Diagnosis and Testing»(ref-457914-S29929768152012030200000) and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure .

68RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

  1. Perform the following after completion of a diagnostic repair: With the scan tool check pinion factor (if equipped) for proper tire identification and program or reprogram if necessary. Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC). Reconnect any disconnected components. If the PCM has been replaced or updated (flashed), or the transmission has been repaired or replaced, using the scan tool, perform a Quick Learn Procedure. With the scan tool, erase all Transmission and Engine DTCs. With the scan tool, perform a BATTERY DISCONNECT, this will clear the Event Data With the scan tool, display Transmission Temperature. Start and run the engine until the Transmission Temperature is HOT. Check the Transmission fluid level and adjust if necessary. Refer to the Service Information for the Fluid Fill procedure. Road test the vehicle. Perform the following shifts from a standing start with a constant throttle opening of 20 to 25 degrees to the speeds of 97 km/h (60 mph); make fifteen to twenty 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6 upshifts. Perform the following shifts with speeds below 40 km/h (25 mph); make five to eight wide open throttle kickdowns to 2nd gear. Allow at least 5 seconds each in 3rd and 4th gear between each kickdown. Check for DTCs during and after the road test. If after performing the road test, if any shift concerns are noted, perform the drive learn procedure for those affected shifts. Use the OBDII task manager to run Good Trip time in each gear, this will confirm the repair and to ensure that the DTC does not re-mature. Were there any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) set during the road test? Yes Refer to DTC Based Diagnostics and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure. No Repair is complete.
