2012 Trip
If the engine is shut off, then restarted after
a Check Trans indication, the transmission
remains in Neutral until the problem is
corrected. Service should be performed
immediately in order to minimize damage to
the transmission.
NOTE:
Contact an authorized Allison
transmission service center whenever
a transmission related concern arises.
For some problems, diagnostic trouble
codes may be registered without the
TCM activating the Check Trans icon.
An authorized Allison service center
will have the equipment to check
diagnostic codes and correct problems
that may arise.
Periodic Inspections:
Careful attention to fluid level and operating
temperature is very important. Inspect
hoses for signs of leakage or abrasion. The
transmission should be kept clean. Report to an
authorized Allison service center abnormalities
in operation or when the Check Trans icon
illuminates or Trans Service icon remains
illuminated.
Prevent Major Problems:
Minor problems can be kept from becoming
major problems by contacting an authorized
Allison transmission service center when one
of these conditions occurs:
Shifting feels odd.
Transmission leaks fluid.
Unusual transmission-related sounds.
The Trans Service and/or Check Trans
icon illuminates frequently or remains
illuminated.
Transmission Fluid
Transmission fluid cools, lubricates and
transmits hydraulic power. Proper fluid levels
must be maintained at all times. If fluid level is
too low, the torque converter and clutches do
not receive an adequate supply of fluid. If fluid
level is too high, the fluid can aerate. Aerated
fluid can cause the transmission to shift
erratically or overheat. Check the transmission
fluid level before each trip and after removing
the motorhome from storage.
Fluid Type:
The transmission is filled with TranSynd™
synthetic transmission fluid at the
factory. A tag is attached to the dipstick
identifying the transmission is filled with
TranSynd™ synthetic transmission fluid.
Use only transmission fluid meeting Allison
specification TES 295.
CAUTION:
The transmission is filled with
TransSynd™ synthetic transmission
fluid meeting Allison specification
TES 295. Do not mix with other fluid
types such as Dexron/Mercon ATF
(Automatic Transmission Fluid). The
TCM prognostics are programmed for
use with TES 295 approved fluids only.
Fluid Cold Check:
A cold check is performed to determine
adequate fluid level for safe operating such
as after a fluid and filter change. A cold
check should be performed after transmission
maintenance or service until a hot fluid level
check can be performed.
Start the engine. Park the motorhome
on a level surface. Set the parking
brake.
Allow the engine to run at idle (500 to
800 RPM) for one minute.
Apply the service brakes and shift to
D (Drive), then to N (Neutral), and
next to R (Reverse) to fill the system.
Shift the transmission to N (Neutral)
and release the service brakes. Allow
the engine to idle between 500 to 800
RPM.
Remove the dipstick and wipe clean.
Reinsert the dipstick then remove to
check fluid level. Repeat to verify
reading, if necessary.
Safe operating level is anywhere within
the Cold Check band on the dipstick. This
allows safe operation of the transmission until
a Hot Check can be performed. If the level
is not within this band, add or drain fluid as
necessary to put the level to the middle of the
Cold Check band. Perform a Hot Check at
the first opportunity when normal operating
temperatures are reached.
CAUTION:
Low or high fluid levels can cause
overheating and irregular shift
patterns. These conditions can damage
the transmission if not corrected.
