Chassis ID Path
A 722640 4319/Diagnostics//MID 130 PID 160 Parameter setting
Model Identity
FH 131707418
Warning
If work is to be carried out on hybrid vehicles, read - Safety instructions
Hybrid vehicles have a highly dangerous voltage which can cause serious electric shocks, arcing or burns and
result in serious personal injury or death.
Concerns
All FH/FM and FH16 with I-shift gearbox, generation C (AT2412C, AT2512C, ATO2512C, AT2812C and ATO3112C).
Problem
After repair, fault code MID130 PID160 FMI1 or FMI2 can occur.
Reason
In week 23, 2009 the new generation of I-Shift,(Generation D), was released. From that week, there are three new
parts used in common for the old generation I-Shift (generation C), a so called “carry back” solution. The three parts
concerned are (see figures in picture below):
Note: When ordering a new complete Gear Control Unit (GCU), the only differencies between new and old generation
are the new TECU-D (1) and the new speed-sensor-D (2). The rest of the GCU is equivalent to the old generation.

Hereafter, in this information, designated as “GCU-D” for the new generation and “GCU-C” for the old generation.
Action/Information
Note: The TECU-D included in the complete GCU-D, does have the same p/n stamped on the id plate, as for the single
TECU-D. Therefore it is impossible to identify if complete GCU-D or just TECU-D has been replaced, when mounted in
the gearbox.

Speed-sensor-C: I-Shift generation C cable harness, p/n 20775027, has speed sensor marked 4410371001.
Speed-sensor-D: I-Shift generation D cable harness, p/n 21068284, has speed sensor marked 4410371051.
See graphic ”Cable harness”, showing how to identify, which can be “good to know” for possible future repair.

IMPACT 4.00.51.00-SNAPSHOT 12/07/18
For the main shaft there is a new sensor wheel which has 72 teeth, compared to the old version which had 30 teeth.
This 72 teeth sensor wheel is mounted in I-Shift generation D gearboxes, as well as in later I-Shift generation C
gearboxes built after week 23, 2009, and also in exchange units for I-Shift generation C gearboxes where a complete
GCU-D has been mounted during remanufacturing.
FMI1 = “The main shaft speed differs from both the value of the countershaft speed and the vehicle speed
received from the vehicle ECU.” This indicates a “wrong” number of teeth of the sensor wheel.
FMI2 = “The sensor indicates wrong travelling direction.” This indicates a “wrong” speed sensor (cable harness)
These two FMI:s should be corrected by setting the parameters KBQ and KBR, by VCADS, in a correct combination. It
is not needed to replace neither the sensor wheel nor the speed sensor.
Example 1
An old I-Shift generation C gearbox (built before week 23, 2009) has previously got a complete GCU-D
installed, with KBQ = 1 and KBR = 0.
When ordering a new cable harness with speed sensors included, a speed-sensor-C will be received.
This mismatch will create fault code MID130 PID160 FMI2, but can be corrected by changing the parameters,
by VCADS, to KBQ = 1 and KBR = 1.

IMPACT 4.00.51.00-SNAPSHOT 12/07/18
The truck has previously got a complete “exchange” I-Shift generation D gearbox, which has GCU-D (=
TECU-D and speed-sensor-D) and 72 teeth sensor wheel, with KBQ = 0 and KBR = 0.
When ordering a new cable harness with speed sensors included, a speed-sensor-C will be received.
This mismatch will create fault code MID130 PID160 FMI2, but can be corrected by changing the parameters,
by VCADS, to KBQ = 0 and KBR = 1.
Miscellaneous information
If a TECU-D, or a complete GCU-D, has been installed in an I-Shift generation C gearbox, all transmission
programme software functionality (SW) is still the original I-Shift generation C version, only the new hardware
(HW) is the same as in an I-Shift generation D version. The driver will not experience any changes.
If a TECU-C, or a complete GCU-C, is going to be reinstalled in an I-Shift generation C gearbox, where
previously a TECU-D or a complete GCU-D has been mounted, there must also be a speed-sensor-C and a 30
teeth sensor wheel in the gearbox. Furthermore a conversion kit, p/n 85124923, must be run to get back to the
“original” TECU-C hardware (HW) as well as SW without parameters KBQ and KBR.
TECU-C can be recognised by the p/n 20817637 (URETARD) or 20817640 (RET-TH) marked on the plate of
the top cover. (This is the only p/n’s that have been used for TECU-C during the period it has been in
production.)
A speed-sensor-D can not be mounted together with an original TECU-C.
A 72 teeth sensor wheel can not be mounted together with an original TECU-C.
Prior to any repair of TECU and/or GCU, it is recommended to read out, by VCADS, if the parameters KBQ and
KBR are present and in that case what they are set to. By this information together with the table below, it will be
possible to evaluate what HW are currently installed.
If KBQ and KBR are not present, and if TECU-C can be recognised by the p/n 20817637 (URETARD) or
20817640 (RET-TH) marked on the plate of the top cover, it can be assumed that it is a “pure” I-Shift generation
C gearbox.
To summarize this information, the table below shows the different combinations of how the parameters KBQ and KBR
should be set for different combinations of HW and it also shows what is applicable or not.
“New” p/n
When ordering a complete I-Shift generation C gearbox as original/”new” p/n in Impact, an I-Shift generation D
gearbox (AT2412D, AT2612D, ATO2612D, AT2812D or ATO3112D) will be received. Before downloading SW
to the new gearbox, the parameters KBQ and KBR must be installed in VDA by running the conversion kit p/n

“Exchange” p/n
When ordering a complete I-Shift generation C gearbox as “exchange unit” p/n in Impact, there are two
alternatives of what will be received:
2. An I-Shift generation C gearbox, always with speed-sensor-C and 30 teeth sensor wheel. However, it can
either have TECU-C or TECU-D. TECU-C can be recognised by the p/n 20817637 (URETARD) or
20817640 (RET-TH) marked on the plate of the top cover. (This is the only p/n’s that have been used for
TECU-C during the period it has been in production.)
If it has TECU-C, the combination means that it is like the original gearbox and KBQ and KBR are not
needed.
If it has TECU-D, the combination means that before downloading SW to the new gearbox, the
parameters KBQ and KBR must be installed in VDA by running the conversion kit p/n 85120150.
Both KBQ and KBR will be set to 1.
