Introduction

Transmission Electronic Control System

The transmission Electronic Control Module (ECM) shifts the machine transmission based on
transmission output speed (TOS), Transmission control lever position and transmission modulation
(inching pedal) pressure switch position.

The transmission ECM processes information from the input components. Depending on the speed
and direction requested, the ECM then directs theignal to the specific combination of solenoids for
that speed and direction.

If a fault occurs, the ECM directs a signal to the Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) group to alert
the operator of a problem. The technician has two methods of diagnosing problems with the
transmission electrical system: the Electronic Control Analyzer Programmer (ECAP) via the service
tool connector or the diagnostic connector and flash codes.

There is a unique transmission configuration code that must be programmed into the ECM with an
ECAP, Electronic Technician (ET) or the transmission control lever. If a replacement is made to the
ECM, the new ECM must be programmed with this code. Without this code the machine will not
operate. See "Using the 8T-8697 Electronic Control Analyzer Programmer" section in the "Testing
And Adjusting" portion of this module.

NOTE: The transmission solenoids are identified with letters (A through H) in this publication. The
solenoids may also be identified with numbers (1 through 8). Solenoid 1 is Solenoid A, Solenoid 2 is
Solenoid B, etc.

Definitions And Acronyms

CAT Data Link

A digital data communication link which is used to provide sharing of information between
electronic controls and service tools on Caterpillar machines.

CID - Component Identifier

A three-digit number that is displayed to the technician on the ECAP service tool diagnostic
display during servicing. The number indicates the system component in question.

Countershaft Transmission
The transmission used on most "H" series motor graders and is shifted by means of
electrohydraulic valves which provide clutch control oil.

ECAP - Electronic Control Analyzer Programmer

The service tool used by the technician to gain access to the system status and diagnostic
information stored in the transmission ECM.

ECM - Electronic Control Module

The control is located under the cab. It processes the input information which then directs the
proper electrical signals to the appropriate output devices for speeds, directions, and
diagnostics.

EMS - Electronic Monitoring System

This is a dash-mounted device which alerts the operator to various machine status conditions.

ET - Electronic Technician
This is a personal computer version of the diagnostic software that is used in ECAP.

FMI - Failure Mode Identifier

A two-digit "F" code that is displayed on the ECAP service tool diagnostic display during
servicing. The number indicates the failure mode of the related component.

Jumper
A jumper is a piece of wire used to make an electrical connection during troubleshooting.

Scroll
Scrolling is the process of showing all available sets of diagnostic information, one set at a
time. A set of diagnostic information is shown briefly and then the display automatically
advances to the next set.

TOS - Transmission Output Speed

A transmission signal generated by a magnetic pickup on the transmission output shaft.

VHP - Dual Horsepower Solenoid

Electronic Control Module (ECM

(1) Connector J1. (2) Connector J2.

The ECM makes decisions based on input and memory information, then the corresponding response
is made through the outputs. The inputs and outputs of the ECM are joined to the machine harness
by two 40 contact connectors.

Inputs

Numerous inputs inform the ECM of the status of the machine conditions. Two types of inputs exist;
switch type and sensor type. Switches provide an open, grounded, or +battery signal to the switch
inputs of the ECM. Sensors provide a constantly changing signal to the sensor inputs of the ECM.
The inputs are listed on the Contact Description Chart.

Outputs

The ECM responds to decisions by sending electrical signals through the various outputs. The
outputs either create an action or provide information. The outputs are listed on the Contact
Description Chart.

CAT Data Link Operation

The CAT Data Link provides status information to other machine systems including All Wheel
Drive Control and the ECAP service tool. The following parameters are available:

· Transmission Gear
· Shift Lever Position
