Using the Up or Down buttons in Drive
changes forward gear selection by one. If a
button is held continuously, the gear range will
continue to change up or down until the button
is released or until the highest/lowest possible
forward gear is selected.
Mode Button:
The Mode button enables a secondary shift
schedule. This is referred to as Economy
mode. Economy mode sets the transmission
up-shift schedule to occur a lower engine
RPM through gear changes 3-4, 4-5, 5-6 and
downshift schedule 6-5, 5-4, 4-3. During
highway driving with the cruise control
set between 55 and 65 M.P.H., placing the
transmission in economy mode should
eliminate most transmission downshifts from
sixth to fifth when incurring a slight incline or
overpass.
CAUTION:
Do not use Economy mode in heavy
stop and go traffic or mountainous
terrains. Frequent shifting while using
heavy throttle occurs in Economy
mode and increases transmission fluid
temperature. Exit Economy mode until
road conditions improve.
NOTE:
The shift schedule is altered when
cruise control power is enabled. Turn
off cruise power in congested traffic
and mountainous terrain.
NOTE:
The transmission will not accept a
manually selected gear change to
occur if the gear selected is out of the
specified operating range.
CAUTION:
Engine temperature may rise when
ascending long grades using full
throttle. Towing will increase the
demand on the engine. If engine
temperature or transmission fluid
temperature is excessive, manually
shift the transmission to the next lower
gear and reduce throttle. The engine
will use less fuel and RPM should
increase.
NOTE:
The transmission will not shift into
gear from Neutral if the engine RPM is
at or above 900. The display will flash
“66” indicating the engine RPM is
excessive. Select “N” and lower engine
RPM.
Trans Service Icon
If the electronics determine
maintenance is due, the
Trans Service icon (wrench)
on the instrument panel will
illuminate when the ignition
key is turned on. The TCM
will record into memory the
day and time, mileage, and message reference.
The Trans Service icon will turn off shortly
after selecting Drive. If necessary maintenance
is repeatedly ignored, the Trans Service
icon and Check Trans icon will illuminate
continuously. If this occurs, the motorhome
must be taken to an authorized Allison service
center for repairs.
NOTE:
If the Trans Service icon remains
illuminated while in Drive, the
motorhome must be taken to an
authorized Allison service center for
repairs.
Check Trans Icon
Each time the engine is started the Check
Trans icon will illuminate then turn off.
This momentary illumination is performing
a circuit test. If the Check Trans light does
not illuminate during start up, or if the light
remains on after start up, the transmission
system should be checked immediately.
Continued illumination of the Check Trans
light during vehicle operation (other than
start up) will log a fault in the TCM. The
electronics inform the operator there is a
problem with the transmission system and
reacts automatically to protect the operator,
motorhome and transmission. If the TCM
detects a Do Not Shift condition, the TCM will
restrict shifting and turn on the Check Trans
light.
Illumination of the Check Trans light may
be accompanied by a flashing display from
the shift selector. The shift selector will show
actual range attained and the transmission will
not respond to shift requests.
Indications from the shift selector are
provided to inform the operator that the
transmission is not performing as designed
and is operating at reduced capacity to limit
likelihood of damage to the transmission.
The keypad will not respond to shift
commands and the transmission generally will
downshift to 4th gear. The torque converter
will not “lock-up” and engine speed is
automatically reduced. Direction changes (i.e.
forward to reverse) will not be allowed. Locate
a safe secure place to park the motorhome.
