To make the strategy independent of the engine
type, the strategy is designed to use J1939 engine
broadcast torque. The engine broadcast torque is
calculated in n*m with the following: engine reference
torque, actual engine percent torque, and nominal
engine friction percent torque. If the necessary J1939
CAN messages are present to execute the broadcast
torque based upshift inhibit, the transmission ECM
will use this method. For engines which do not
broadcast reference torque on CAN, the reference
torque must be entered in Cat ET. The ECM will only
use the reference torque which is entered in Cat ET if
the engine broadcast reference torque is unavailable.
For engines which do not support the broadcasting
of these messages, the following will occur: the
transmission software will default to using EEC2
percent load at current speed to obtain similar upshift
inhibit functionality. Since this parameter can vary
from engine to engine, absolute broadcast torque in
n*m is preferred. Using EEC2 percent load at current
speed can also cause the following: unwanted shift
inhibits in the overrun portion of the engines lug
curve where the governor begins to defuel to limit
engine speed.
Park
When PARK is selected, the transmission will first
shift to NEUTRAL, then wait until the transmission
output speed drops below 1500 rpm and torque
converter output speed is below 825 rpm to complete
the shift to PARK.
Shifting to PARK locks the transmission output
shaft by engaging clutches in the transmission.
There is no park pawl. While in PARK, the speed of
the engine must remain below 900 rpm. The end
user is responsible to uphold this requirement. A
“Transmission Abuse Warning Event” will be logged
if the engine speed exceeds 1000 RPM while in
“PARK”.
Transmission Warmup
The TH48-E70 and TH55 Petroleum Transmissions
are equipped with a feature that utilizes converter
stall to warm up the transmission and engine in cold
environments.
To reduce the time required for the transmission
to reach operating temperature, a switched input
is available to activate the transmission warm-up
feature. When activated, the warm-up feature will
stall the torque converter to place the engine under
a slight load and generate heat in the transmission.
Refer to Special Instruction, REHS4541, “Software
Configuration Guide”.
37
Note: The warm-up mode feature is activated by
switching to Stall. J1939 / CAN shifters can be
switched to 1R which means PARK, and 2R which
means Stall. Switch to ground type shifters must shift
to PARK and ground the “stall enable pin” (pin 64 on
connector 1 of the ECM harness) to activate Stall.
The Transmission ECM will engage stall when all of
the following conditions are met:
• The transmission oil temperature is less than 87° C
(190° F).
• Torque converter oil temperature is less than
110° C (230° F).
• When the engine speed is less than 1000 rpm and
greater than 500 rpm.
The transmission will automatically shift from Stall to
Park when one of the following occur:
• If the transmission oil temperature exceeds 93° C
(200° F).
• Torque converter oil temperature exceeds 120° C
(248° F).
• Engine speed exceeds 1300 rpm.
A “Transmission Abuse Warning Event” will be logged
if the engine speed exceeds 1000 rpm while the
transmission is in park. When stall mode is selected,
the transmission will automatically cycle between
Stall and Park according to the above criteria. The
maximum rate of cycling into Stall is limited to once
every 60 seconds by a timer. When the transmission
oil cools or the speed drops, the converter stall mode
for transmission warm-up will automatically engage
once the criteria are met.
The following active electrical faults will disable Stall
forcing the transmission to shift to Park instead.
• Active ECPC solenoid diagnostic fault
• Active lock up clutch solenoid short to battery
diagnostic fault
• Torque converter oil temperature sensor faults
• Engine speed sensor faults
If the transmission output speed exceeds 50 rpm
while in stall mode, the transmission will do the
following:
• Shift to Park
• Record a 718-14 transmission system special
instruction diagnostic code in Cat Electronic
Technician.
