1000/2000, 3000/4000 and TC10 Setup Tabs
The 1000/2000 (4th Gen or 5th Gen) and 3000/4000 (4th Gen or 5th Gen) and
TC10 (5th Gen) Data Setup tabs allow you to individually select the 4th/5th
Generation transmission data parameters to be requested from an Allison 4 th/5th
Generation Controls system (excluding CEC3 and CEC5) and, consequently, be
displayed on Allison DOC®. The selected data is assigned to dynamic groups. A
configuration may be saved for future use. Limiting the amount of data to request
from a TCM greatly increases the rate of data refresh. In other words, the fewer
transmission data parameters you configure the tool to request, the faster the TCM
will be able to send those parameters to the tool. This is particularly important
when the user needs to closely monitor certain transmission parameters at higher
rates.
On all 4th/5th Generation screens and reports, data that is not being requested by the
dynamic group configuration is displayed as “Not Available.” In the graphics
monitor, controls associated with unavailable data are disabled. In the selection
dialogs for the custom data monitor, Excel export and strip chart parameters that
are unavailable will not be displayed for selection.
Anatomy of a Dynamic Group
A Dynamic Group contains one or more transmission data parameters. The
parameter size indicates how many bytes the parameter uses. A Dynamic Group
can only hold up to seven bytes of data.
40
Required Parameters
Some parameters are assigned by default to a Dynamic Group. The pre-assigned
parameters must always be selected in order for certain Allison DOC® features to
work correctly. A message displays if the required parameters are not assigned to
Dynamic Group. The following table lists the required transmission data
parameters (with their size).

When to select these options:
i. Diagnosing specific problems: this is a quick method of selecting
multiple parameters that are logically grouped to add on to the
default list of data automatically being collected. If you are
troubleshooting a specific problem related to one of these groups,
this is a faster way of requesting the extra data instead of
individually picking data items in the Software Configuration
dialog.
ii. Collecting J1939 data (4th Gen only): sometimes a technician
may need to know J1939 data related to the transmission.
Selecting this option will display pertinent J1939 data on the
Allison DOC® Data Monitor view. If a session is recorded, this
data will also be saved to the same file.
4. Upon successful connection, the DTC and General Information window for
the selected transmission controller displays; for CEC1, the CEC1 Data
Monitor window displays. If a connection cannot be established the tool
53
displays the Connection Help window with specific instructions on how to
troubleshoot the connection.

5-2. Viewing Diagnostic Data
59
5-3. DTC and General Information
This is the default screen and it serves as the “Home” screen where Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs) and general/basic transmission information is displayed.
This screen contains DTC information (with links to troubleshooting manuals),
TCM Information, basic Transmission Data (customizable), and Shift Inhibits.
From this screen the user can also clear codes, access Performance Complaints,
Failure Records, and DTC Test.
The Allison 4th/5th Generation Control system Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
consist of the letter “P”, “U”, or “C” followed by four numbers. A “P” indicates a
transmission internal problem, a “U” indicates a problem in a vehicle system or the
transmission-to-vehicle interface, and the “C” codes are reserved for retarder
request sensor problems.
60
DTC and General Information View
DTC Grid
Displays Diagnostic Trouble Code information:
Parameter Description
DTC The Allison 4th/5th Gen Control system uses a five character, a
letter and four numbers, diagnostic trouble code.
In addition to this five character DTC code, 5th Generation
Control systems use a symptom code. In Allison DOC®, the
DTC and symptom codes are separated by a ‘-’: e.g. P0712-00.
Check A “Y” indicates that the DTC is significant enough to turn on the
Trans CHECK TRANS light. Not every DTC activates the CHECK
TRANS light. If any active DTC has a CHECK TRANS light on,
then the Check Transmission lamp will be displayed.
Failure A “Y” indicates that a failure record has been generated and
Record stored for the DTC.
61
62
Clearing DTC Information
1. In the DTC and General Information window, click the Clear DTC
Information button.
2. A window appears displaying the message, “Clear DTC Information
Request Completed Successfully!”
3. Click the OK button.
All Trouble Codes and associated information are cleared from the DTC and
General Information window. Shift Inhibits are also cleared with this command
button. If the cause of the Trouble Code is not corrected, the Trouble Code will
reappear.
NOTE: To clear all Trouble Codes, the vehicle must be stopped and
in Neutral. If these conditions are not met, a message “Request
Denied. Output Speed not less than maximum allowable value.” or
“Neutral not attained.” displays.
Performance Complaints
Use the Performance Complaints function when no DTCs are present to
troubleshoot a transmission performance symptom.
To use Performance Complaints:
1. Click on the Performance Complaints button on the DTC and General
Information—The Performance Complaints window displays.
63
Failure Records
A Failure Record stores operating condition information at the time a problem was
detected and the DTC logged. A Failure Record is always associated with a DTC.
A Failure Record is a very valuable source of information for the technician as it
can be used to determine the operating conditions that were present when a failure
occurred. Failure Records are only updated (refreshed) the first time the Diagnostic
Test (a test that the TCM runs to determine if a failure condition exists) fails during
each ignition cycle.
You can view the last five DTC failure records by double clicking on a DTC row in
the Failure Record column of the DTC grid or by selecting the Failure Records
button from the Diagnostic main menu. If more than five DTCs are stored, the
Failure Records are replaced on a “First-In-First-Out” basis.
Allison DOC® automatically saves the last 20 Failure Records “seen” by the tool.
These files are stored in the following location as text files:
[AllUsersCommonDocuments]\Allison Transmission\Allison DOC For PC -
Service Tool\Failure Records.
64
65
DTC Test
The TCM performs a series of “diagnostic tests” to determine if a failure has
occurred. Diagnostic Tests are performed when specific transmission operating
conditions occur. The DTC Test Screen displays all application-supported DTCs
and indicates the failure status of the Diagnostic Test since clear code and since
power-up. The following table describes each state:
The DTC Test screen allows the technician to determine the status of a DTC test.
For example, after fixing the problem causing a DTC, the technician must know the
status of a DTC test in order to make sure that the failure condition was effectively
corrected.
66
67

Data Trace Identification
The selected data is assigned a color on the graph. The name of the data and its
corresponding color is displayed in a box on the Strip Chart display.
X-axis Scaling
The passage of time in seconds is indicated on the X-axis, horizontal bottom of the
graph. As time passes, data lines on the graph move to the right. The Strip Chart
displays about 10 seconds of data at a time. If playing back recorded data, the VCR
Control window displays the Total File Time and the Current File Time, in
minutes. Total File Time is the total length of the recording. Current File Time is
the time elapsed since you started the playback.
Y-axis Scaling
The Y-axis, vertical left side of the Strip Chart, displays a range of values based
upon the data selected for display. In most cases, the Y-axis begins at zero. If you
select data having different types of measurements such as input rpm and engine
cooling temperature, a divisor, preceded by a slash (/), displays next to the data that
requires calculation to determine the correct value. For example: input speed and
engine cooling temperature. RPM is displayed on the Y-axis, from 0 to 4000. To
determine the engine cooling temperature, divide the value of the engine cooling
temperature trace by 15.7. An easier method is to use the Strip Chart Cursor mode,
which calculates the adjustment and displays the correct value. Entering a value in
the Max Y-Axis field changes the maximum value displayed on the Y-axis. Click
the Plot button for the Max Y-Axis change to take effect.
Control Modes
The control modes are:

With the two red vertical lines, the number of seconds between the two lines is
displayed. Data continues to be gathered in the background. The yellow vertical
line may be dragged along the Strip Chart and the value of the selected trace in the
floating window is updated based on the position of the vertical line; likewise, the
red vertical lines may be dragged along the Strip Chart and the number of seconds
between the lines is updated. Click the Plot button to resume the Strip Chart.
Print
Sends the Strip Chart data display to your printer.
Change Background button
For higher contrast, the Change Background button cycles among white, yellow,
and black. If printing the strip chart, it is suggested that white is chosen as the
background color to conserve printer ink.
Annotate button (playback only)
Allows the technician to add notes to a strip chart that will be printed and analyzed.
After a note is added, the technician can move it to any location on the stopped
strip chart. The technician may also save these annotations for future reference.
Once saved, the technician can use the Analog dialog to go to saved annotations.
Annotations are saved in a separate file using the original name of the playback file
and a file extension of “Annotations.xml”. When emailing playback files, you
should also email the corresponding Annotations.xml file. If you use the
SnapshotE-mail functionality to attach playback files, the corresponding
Annotations.xml file will automatically be attached if applicable.

The button is visible when connected to a Model Year 17 or later vehicle that is
equipped with one of the following FuelSense® 2.0 packages:
FuelSense® 2.0
FuelSense® 2.0 Natural Gas
FuelSense® 2.0 Plus
FuelSense® 2.0 Natural Gas Plus
FuelSense® 2.0 Max
When on the FuelSense® view, the ‘Submit’ button is not enabled until a selection
or change is made. The ‘Cancel’ button will revert to the TCM’s current settings.
After selecting the ‘Submit’ button, the changes will be made after the technician
answers ‘Agree’ to the displayed message box. A ‘No’ answer will cancel the
changes. After the changes are written to the TCM, Allison DOC® will
automatically reconnect to the TCM.
92
Sections with a darker background indicate that the feature is currently disabled on
the TCM. To change these, contact an authorized Allison distributor. In the
following example, DynActive™ in Primary Mode and Acceleration Rate
Management are disabled and cannot be changed with an Allison Service Tool.
93
NOTE: OEMs may sometimes restrict the technician’s FuelSense®
selections for the TCM, as shown in the following screenshot:
The FuelSense® View has three main sections: DynActive™, Neutral At Stop and
Acceleration Rate Management. Until a change is made the ‘Submit’ button on the
bottom is disabled. Some sections may be disabled or selections may not be
available depending upon the TCM’s settings.
DynActive™
The DynActive™ section corresponds to the TCM’s DynActive™ Shifting Setting:
Disabled, Enabled in Primary Mode, Enabled in Secondary Mode or Enabled in
both Primary and Secondary Mode. This section tells the TCM how to balance
economy in level and grade driving conditions and is expressed as a percentage
(0% maximizes performance and 100% maximizes economy).
The minimum engine speed next to the performance/economy setting cannot be
changed. It is the minimum engine speed that is allowed during operation of the
DynActive™ mode shift schedule. This is used to avoid driveline oscillations,
turbo chuffing, or low engine power.
NOTE: The percentage can be changed by using the mouse to slide the
triangle pointer on the slider bar, typing a percentage in the box to the
right, or using the up / down arrows.
94
Neutral At Stop
The Neutral At Stop setting cannot be changed. Coast Mode may be changed when
the Neutral at Stop setting is ‘Premium’. Coast mode allows Neutral to be attained
as the vehicle coasts to a stop with the service brake active.
The five predefined levels, in order of increasing fuel savings, are Base (20%),
Intermediate (40%), High (60%), Super (80%) and Ultra (100%). On the
FuelSense® view, these are represented by radio buttons that when selected, will
also move the slider bar. This feature sets the level of Acceleration Control /
acceleration limiting for this feature: BASE ECONOMY means that very little
limiting will be performed (vehicle will accelerate most similarly to a truck without
ACCELERATION RATE MANAGEMENT enabled and will have the lowest
potential for fuel savings). ULTRA ECONOMY means that a large amount of
limiting will be performed (highest amount of torque and acceleration control and
the highest potential for fuel savings).
“Custom Level” refers to when a user uses the slider bar or text box to manually
select a percentage other than one of the five predefined levels.
95
values will dynamically graph the ‘Full Custom’ graph line to help the technician
determine the optimal fuel economy vs. performance setting.

5-13. Data Bus Traffic View
The real-time data flowing on the vehicle’s databus (CAN, J1939, J1708, J1850,
GMLAN, or proprietary CEC1 protocol) is viewable in the Data Bus Traffic
Viewer. The Data Bus Traffic Viewer presents the data link stream data in raw
format and, when available, some J1939 TCM Received/Broadcasted messages in
engineering units.
Note: Data Bus Traffic View files are not captured or contained in regular Allison
DOC® snapshots.
In the Engineering Units display, which is only available when connected via
J1939, J1939 TCM-relevant data (messages sent and received by the TCM) are
displayed. The user can monitor the data exchange between the transmission
controller and other control modules by selecting specific SAE J1939
Messages/Parameters.
The data bus viewer can be used with or without Allison DOC® being in a
connected state. When the service tool is connected (the tool is receiving/requesting
Messages from/to the TCM), the tool is said to be in ACTIVE or diagnostic mode.
Conversely, if the Data Bus Viewer is used without having the service tool
communicating with the TCM, the tool is said to be in PASSIVE mode (the tool is
physically connected to the vehicle/TCM, but it is only “listening” to all the
messages going through the selected data link without requesting data from the
TCM).
The following table contains all the data communication protocols that, depending
upon its availability at the diagnostic connector, could be used to connect Allison
DOC® and to monitor data with the Data Bus Viewer in either active or passive
mode.

The Data Bus Viewer has the following sections:
108
Data Bus Messages
This section displays the numeric representation of every message that is going
through the selected communication link. The data is displayed in decimal (base
10) or hexadecimal (base 16) number systems. The hexadecimal numeric system is
the defaulted option, while the decimal system can be activated by unchecking the
Hexadecimal check box.
CAN statistics information appear when these statistics are available from
supported adapters. Not all adapters support this functionality.
CAN Bus Load (%) – displays current percent CAN bus load.
CAN Bus Load Peak (%) – displays the peak percent CAN bus load since
the data bus viewer was opened.
Engineering Units
NOTE: The Engineering Units DBV is available while connected to
any TCM family (e.g., 5th TCM), if you choose to use a new
connection with J1939 protocol in the DBV connection dialog. In
order to do this, you must be using a multi-client translator device.
Engineering Units (only available when connected via J1939) includes every SAE
J1939 Message and Parameter supported by the Allison Transmission controller.
This information consists of all Messages and Parameters the transmission control
module broadcasts and receives via J1939. Refer to the Allison Transmission
DATALINK COMMUNICATIONS technical document, available on the Allison
Transmission Extranet, for specific information for each of the displayed J1939
Messages/Parameters.
Parameter—displays SAE J1939 Messages the TCM can receive/send.
Each SAE J1939 Message can be expanded to display the corresponding
SAE J1939 parameter.
109
Since each Message can be broadcasted from different Source Addresses
(SA), the tool displays every detected SA that can initiate a given
Message. Consequently, if the user is interested in finding a particular
J1939 parameter (for example, Percent Load at Current Speed), the first
step would be to find out which J1939 Message contains that parameter
(EEC2: Electronic Engine Controller # 2), and second to see if Data Bus
Viewer has detected that message in the data bus. If detected, the Data
Bus Viewer will display the SA of the controller sending that particular
message. At this point, the user can expand that message to display the
parameter of interest.
Value—the value/state of the parameter.
Units—the units of measure used for the value.
Source Addresses
Describes all Source Addresses (SA) that can be included/displayed in the Data
Bus Viewer.
MID/SA
(J1708 or J1850 only) Message Identifier/Source Addresses code—the message
type/source/destination.
Component ID
(J1708 or J1850 only) Manufacturer of a controller.
Model
(J1708 or J1850 only) A controller’s model number.
Software ID
(J1708 or J1850 only) Identifies the software used by the controller.
Command Buttons:
Pause—pauses and continues the Data Bus Message display.
Clear—clears all Data Bus Message data.
Save—displays the File Save dialog box and automatically saves the last 2
minutes of data displayed on the Data Bus Viewer, under the entered file

7. If desired, click the Full Main Pressure button to turn on Main Mod
solenoid.
The Full Main Pressure button is highlighted in the Clutch Test window
and the value of “TEST” is displayed for Main Mod Solenoid
Commanded Pressure in the Data Monitor.
Any selected range in the Clutch Test window will be maintained as long as the
following remain true:
Vehicle speed remains less than approximately 124 mph
Engine speed is less than 2,750 rpm
If either of these cases is exceeded, the TCM will automatically command an up or
down shift as needed to avoid any damage to the transmission hardware. When
both of these criteria have once again been met:
For 1000/2000 product families, a gear must be reselected in the Clutch
Test window
For 3000/4000 or TC10 product families, the gear prior to automatic TCM
intervention will be selected
117
NOTE: The transmission will maintain the selected range until the TCM
determines that the operational conditions constitute a risk to the
transmission hardware. At this point the TCM will command an up or
downshift to eliminate that condition of risk. The service tool command
(i.e. clutch test) cannot force the transmission to stay in a specific range
under these circumstances.
All sequential up and down shifts are performed automatically by Allison DOC®.
For example, if 2nd gear is currently in use and 6th gear is selected in the Clutch
Test window, Allison DOC® will automatically command 3rd, then 4th, then 5th,
and finally 6th.
NOTE: Commanding 2nd gear from 3rd gear in the Clutch Test window
will only be allowed if the vehicle speed is less than approximately 13
mph. Commanding 1st gear from 2nd gear in the Clutch Test window will
only be allowed if the vehicle speed is less than approximately 7 mph.
While a specific gear is being selected and maintained by the Clutch Test mode, the
TCM will command the TCC ON and OFF, depending on the transmission
operational conditions (i.e. being in Clutch Test mode does not guarantee the
constant application of the TCC). The TCM is always in control of the TCC
application.

Pressure button is de-selected.
6. Before exiting Full Main Pressure Enable Test, ensure that the vehicle is
in Neutral range.
119
Solenoid Test
The Solenoid Test provides a means of troubleshooting complaints involving the
transmission solenoids. The Solenoid Test does not test the electrical condition of a
solenoid (solenoid internal resistance, circuit continuity, etc.). Instead, the Solenoid
Test determines the TCM’s ability to command signals to a particular solenoid.
Consequently, depending on the particular test, the user may need to use a
voltmeter to complement the purpose of this feature.
In order to use the solenoid test, the engine speed must be zero. The TCM will not
honor the solenoid test command from the service tool if the engine speed is greater
than zero.
To enable the Solenoid Test function:
1. Select the Action Request drop-down menu.
2. Click on the Solenoid Test menu item—the Solenoid Test dialog box

accelerometer calculations and TCM orientation detection stored values.
This action request is available for 5th Generation TC10 and ≥MY14 1K-4K TCMs.
137
Accelerometer Learning (5th Gen)
The Accelerometer Learning action request allows the technician to reset
accelerometer installation angle learning or to freeze (lock) accelerometer learning.
This action request is available for 5th Generation ≥MY14 1K-4K and ≥MY15
TC10 TCMs.
138
3. To reset accelerometer installation angle learning:
a. Click on the desired radio button: “Disabled”, “Stopped, Begin”, or
“Forward, Begin”.
139
NOTE: Necessary conditions before accelerating:
- Engine Running
- Transmission in Forward Range
- Vehicle is stopped for a minimum of 3 seconds
Once these conditions are met (Accelerometer Force Learning State
changes to “Forward, Ready for Launch”), quickly transition to
accelerating the vehicle at full pedal for a minimum of 5 seconds. The
driver must achieve a full pedal acceleration within 1 second of
releasing the brakes. This is necessary to maximize the acceleration for
the vehicle, which will provide the best data for the Force Learn
algorithm. Vehicle must meet the conditions (including the 3 second
stop time) before a subsequent acceleration. It is recommended that the
vehicle use both left and right hand turns to return to the starting point
of the acceleration in order to best provide data for the Force Learn
algorithm.
NOTE: Recommendations:
Normal – for most On-Highway and On/Off-Highway vocations.
Slow – for most Off-Highway vocations. If customer is
complaining about fuel economy and it is noticed that the
HangingTCM detection is setting (requires Datalogging the
vehicle), first corrective action should be to change learning rate to
Slow AND perform an Accelerometer Reset.
Frozen – for vehicles that will be in extreme environments (e.g.
mining). If vehicle is to be used in extreme environments or if
changing learning rate to Slow has not alleviated nuisance
HangingTCM detections, change learning rate to Frozen AND
THEN perform a Force Learn.

13-3. SEM/LRTP
Depending on the TCM’s SEM/LRTP configuration (indicated by Auto
Select Configuration), the transmission controller conducts a series of tests
to determine the SEM/LRTP enabling status. These tests are only
performed when new TCM software is loaded into a TCM and/or when the
tool resets SEM Autoselect (refer to Reset SEM Auto-Select action
request).
In order to “pass” the SEM/LRTP Autoselect tests, the TCM must detect an
Allison-validated/certified engine, and the engine must support—and react
correctly—to all J1939 messages and parameters required by SEM/LRTP.
Otherwise, the SEM/LRTP Autoselect tests would “fail.”
321
Force SEM/LRTP Off—indicates
that the TCM is calibrated not to
run the SEM/LRTP Autoselect
tests.
SEM Required—Indicates that the
TCM is calibrated to use SEM. In
this configuration, if any of the
SEM Autoselect tests fails, the
TCM will log DTCs. The LRTP,
however, would only be enabled if
the engine meets the requirements
to activate LRTP.
SEM and LRTP Required—
indicates that the TCM is
calibrated to use both SEM and
LRTP. In this configuration, if
any of the SEM/LRTP Autoselect
tests fails, the TCM will log
DTCs.
LRTP Required—Indicates that
the TCM is calibrated to use
LRTP. In this configuration, if
any of the LRTP Autoselect tests
fails, the TCM will log DTCs. The
SEM, however, would only be
enabled if the engine meets the
requirements to activate SEM.
Description:
Indicates how the calibration is set up with respect to enabling or requiring
SEM/LRTP.
322
Engine Hardware Status
Description:
Indicates if the TCM calibration recognized (or not) the vehicle’s engine as an
Allison validated and certified engine.
323
SEM Enabled Status
Description:
Indicates the SEM enable/disable status in the TCM calibration.
324
LRTP Enabled Status
Description:
Indicates the LRTP enable/disable status in the TCM calibration.
325
SEM/LRTP Compatibility
Description:
Indicates whether the TCM calibration has determined that the engine
calibration is compatible (or not) with the SEM/LRTP requests.
Note: If the TCM Calibration is configured to never use SEM/LRTP (indicated
by Auto Select Configuration = Force SEM/LRTP Off), this parameter is not
applicable at all. Consequently, when such configuration exists, the value of this
parameter (i.e. Compatible or Not Compatible) is completely irrelevant.
326
SEM Validated
Description: Indicates whether the TCM has determined that the engine
controller supports (or not) SEM.
327
LRTP Validated
Description: Indicates whether the TCM has determined that the engine
controller supports (or not) LRTP.
328
SEM Torque Reduction Status

332
Maximum Engine Torque Allowed during loss of J1939 ECM/TCM
Communication
Description:
Indicates the maximum torque the engine would be allowed to produce when the
J1939 communication is interrupted between the TCM and the engine controller.
333
9 (Complete, no SEM)—Indicates
that the Autodetect process has
been completed, and
conditions are not the required
to enable SEM.
13 (Complete, SEM active)—
Indicates that the Autodetect
process has been completed,
and SEM is enabled/active.
X (Unknown)—Indicates that
currently the ECU does not
know the status of SEM
information. “X” could be any
number different from 1, 3, 9,
and 13.
Description:
Indicates current status of SEM in the ECU calibration.
334
13-4. Accelerometer
Accelerometer State
Description:
Used to help determine current conditions for accelerometer algorithm.
335
Accelerometer Force Learning State
Description:
Used to quickly learn the installation orientation of the accelerometer.
There are two parts to the force learn algorithm: learning at a stop,
learning while moving. These parts can be done in any order and it is
NOT necessary to complete both parts either during one key cycle or at
all. That is, the two parts can be learned on separate key cycles
(including days apart, with interim driving) or just one of the parts can be
completed. As long as Accelerometer Force Learning Rate is not set to
Frozen, the accelerometer algorithm will continue to learn. The purpose
of the Force Learn process is use controlled conditions to allow for faster
accelerometer learning. Typical driving is less controlled, thus it is a
slower process. Note that most vehicles will complete their initial
learning during the first 6 hours of use.
336
Accelerometer Force Learning Rate
337
Accelerometer Filtered Percent Grade
Description:
Current grade measurement by the accelerometer algorithm. Used to
help determine if a learning reset is necessary (should be within 1% of
actual).
Description:
Current cross slope measurement by the accelerometer algorithm. Used
to help determine if a learning reset is necessary (should be within 1% of
actual).
