System Problem
In the event of a problem, complete the following
steps.
1.
Note the driving conditions at the time the prob-
lem occurred.
2.
Record the status of the transmission at the time
of the problem (AUTO or MAN mode, gear set-
ting, current gear, engine speed, etc.).
3.
Complete the transmission reset procedure.
Transmission Reset Procedure
In some cases, proper transmission operation can be
restored by resetting the TCU. Use the following pro-
cedure to reset the TCU.
1.
When it is safe to do so, stop the vehicle.
2.
Select N by moving the gear selector switch to
N.
3.
Set the parking brake.
4.
Shut down the engine.
5.
Wait at least two minutes.
6.
Restart the engine.
7.
If the problem continues or the transmission
doesn’t achieve neutral after engine start up,
contact an authorized Freightliner or Eaton ser-
vice facility.
Locked In Gear
If the vehicle is shut down in gear, the transmission
may become locked in gear. The transmission will
attempt to get to neutral during the next engine start
up if the gear selector switch is positioned on N. If
neutral can’t be achieved, a dash (–) will appear on
the gear indicator when the vehicle is restarted.
NOTE: If the transmission becomes locked in
gear while the vehicle is moving, increased
braking effort may be required to stop the ve-
hicle.
If the gear indicator displays a dash during engine
start up with the gear selector switch in neutral, com-
plete the following steps.
1.
Make sure the parking brake is set.
2.
Turn off the ignition and wait at least two min-
utes.
3.
Depress the brake pedal and release the parking
brake.
4.
Make sure the gear selector switch is positioned
on N, then turn on the ignition key. Do not at-
tempt to start the engine yet.
5.
If necessary to get the transmission to shift into
neutral, release the pressure on the brake pedal
slightly.
6.
Once the TCU reaches neutral, a solid N will ap-
pear on the gear indicator and the vehicle will
start. Apply the service brakes and start the en-
gine.
7.
If the gear indicator continues to display a dash,
contact an authorized Freightliner or Eaton ser-
vice facility.
Eaton Fuller UltraShift PLUS
Transmission
Refer to the Eaton website for additional information,
Eaton Fuller UltraShift PLUS automated transmis-
sions use shift selection software and electric clutch
actuation; a clutch pedal is not needed to operate the
vehicle. The current gear is displayed on the indica-
tor on the right-hand control panel. All forward shifts
can be made either manually or automatically.
Engine Start Up
NOTE: Engine cranking is delayed until the
transmission power-up is complete and the gear
display shows a solid "N".
1.
With the parking brake set, turn the ignition
switch to the ON position.
2.
Start the engine.
3.
Apply the service brake.
NOTE: If the service brake is not applied while
selecting a starting gear, the initial start gear will
not be found and the driver will need to select
Neutral and depress the service brake while se-
lecting the desired mode.
4.
Select the desired mode and starting gear. (Inap-
propriate start gear selections are ignored to
avoid damaging the transmission.)
