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).

floating window by dragging the top bar (above the
DTC and General Info button) to the desired
location.
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.
Active Y/N (Yes/No) indicates if the Trouble Code is currently active.

When a code is logged by the TCM and the condition causing the
code still exists, that code is said to be active; otherwise the
trouble code is inactive.
Historic A “Y” indicates a diagnostic code has been stored to TCM

memory as a valid fault. Different types of DTC exist. Each DTC
type has different requirements to be stored as Historic DTC.
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.
Description Describes the DTC. “Please call 1-800-252-5283 for assistance”

is displayed in the Description field for any code that is unknown
to the service tool.
Viewing Troubleshooting Manual Information for a Trouble Code

In the DTC and general Information window of Allison DOC®, double-click the
DTC number or DTC Description to display the DTC Troubleshooting steps. The
Troubleshooting Manual page appropriate for the DTC is displayed.
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.

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.

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:
DTC Test Possible Values Description

Columns
Test Failed/Not Indicates that the Diagnostic Test related

Performed to the DTC has failed at least once since
the DTCs were cleared, or the Diagnostic
Since Clear Test hasn’t been performed by the TCM
Code *.
Test Passed Sometime after the last clear code event

the TCM ran the Diagnostic Test with no
fault found.
Test Failed/Not Indicates that the Diagnostic Test related

Performed to the DTC has failed within this ignition
Since Power cycle, or the Diagnostic Test hasn’t been
Up performed by the TCM *.
Test Passed The TCM ran the Diagnostic Test with no

fault found.
*: For example, the transmission hasn’t reached the necessary operating

conditions to run the Diagnostic Test.
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.

84
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.
Strip Chart Modes

Several data display modes are selectable from the tool bar in the upper left portion
of the Strip Chart window. These modes, or commands, allow you to control the
data display on the Strip Chart. To change to a particular mode, simply click the
desired mode icon. When a mode other than Plot is selected, the data display at that
time is frozen; but the data-against-time stream continues in the background. When
Plot is re-selected, the data-against-time stream is re-entered at the time Plot was
re-selected.
Control Modes
The control modes are:
Plot
Plot is the default Strip Chart mode, where data lines move from left to right across
the Strip Chart graph.
85
Pause

87
Cursor mode allows you to place a yellow vertical line and two red vertical lines at
any point in the graph. With the yellow vertical line, the “Y” vertical values of the
selected trace are displayed in a floating window and the Strip Chart is paused.
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
SnapshotE-mail functionality to attach playback files, the corresponding
Annotations.xml file will automatically be attached if applicable.

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.
Acceleration Rate Management

Acceleration Rate Management (“ARM”) has three modes: predefined levels,
modified custom levels and ‘Full Custom’.
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.
“Full Custom Mode” is an advanced feature that allows a technician to manually

select the low and high speed breakpoints (in kilometers/hour) and the low and
high speed acceleration limits (in meters per second squared). Changing these
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.
TOOL TIP: Each SAE J1939 Message is displayed in its acronym

form. In order to see the complete/long description of a Message, place
the cursor (do not click) over its acronym, and a tool tip is displayed.
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
name or under a default file named, defined by date and time. If the Save
Data Continuously check box is selected, the tool will continuously save
data (as opposed to the last 2 minutes of data) until the user clicks on the
Save button.
110
WARNING: Having Save Data Continuously checked causes
the application to continuously save all the data bus traffic into the
PC, which could be detrimental for your computer. When this
function is enabled / checked, be aware that your hard drive could be
rapidly filled with Data Bus Viewer log files. It is recommended to
only use this function when strictly necessary.
To find the recorded file, use Windows Explorer and navigate to the user
data directory of Allison DOC® (usually defaulted to …\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Documents\Allison Transmission\Allison DOC For PC
- Service Tool), then open the Saved DataBusViewer Files folder. The
raw data can be viewed with NotePad® or WordPad™. Also, the user can
playback these file using the Data Bus Viewer feature in the service tool.
When receiving Data Bus Viewer files from the field, the user needs to
save these files in the same directory mentioned above
([AllUsersCommonDocuments]\Allison Transmission\Allison DOC For
PC - Service Tool\Saved DataBusViewer Files), in order to have them
listed on the Data Bus Viewer Session list.
 Close—closes the Data Bus Viewer window.
NOTE: The Data Bus Viewer logs are not captured in the regular

116
The current range attained is highlighted in the Clutch Test window. A
message displays if Allison DOC® cannot conduct a clutch test.
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.
NOTE: Clicking this button, to toggle Full Main Pressure back,

restores real TCM value for the Main Mod Solenoid Commanded
Pressure data value in the Data Monitor view.
WARNING: Shifting gears, while Full Main Pressure is selected, may

trigger DTCs.
NOTE: For 4th generation 3000/4000 Product Families, a Transfer Case

Neutral shift inhibit occurs from exiting out of the Clutch Test without
re-selecting Neutral first.
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.
NOTE: If automatic TCM intervention was initiated and a low range

gear (e.g. 1st, 2nd, 3rd) is in use, selecting a high range gear (e.g. 4th, 5th,
6th, etc.) in the Clutch Test window will only be allowed if engine speed
is below 1,400 rpm.
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.
Full Main Pressure Enable Test (4th Gen TCMs Only)

The Full Main Pressure Enable Test is similar to the Clutch Test Enabled with the
addition of a Full Main Pressure button. Please refer to the Clutch Test Enabled

NOTE: For 3000/4000 Product Families, a Transfer Case Neutral shift

inhibit occurs from exiting out of the Full Main Pressure Enable Test
without re-selecting Neutral first.
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:
2. Click on the Solenoid Test menu item—the Solenoid Test dialog box
displays.

2. Click on the Reset SAE J1939 SA Information menu item—A message
displays indicating that the SAE J1939 SA Information has been reset.
3. Click OK.
Reset Fast Adaptive (4th Gen TCMs Only)

The TCM continuously compares each up/down shift against a corresponding
“ideal” up/down shift pattern. Two algorithms are used to reach this ideal pattern
for each shift: Fast Adaptive and Slow Adaptive. If the TCM detects that the
difference between a real shift and the ideal pattern is significant, the Fast Adaptive
logic is used. This allows the TCM to use drastic changes to the shift parameters in
order to quickly converge the patterns. Once the two patterns meet a convergence
122
criterion, the TCM switches to slow adaptive, which allows the TCM to fine-tune
the up/down shifts.
The Reset To Fast Adaptive forces the TCM to use the Fast Adaptive algorithm.
To Reset To Fast Adaptive:
2. Click on the Reset Fast Adaptive menu item—the message “The adaptive
shift parameters have been successfully reset to Fast Adapt.” displays
indicating that the TCM has been reset to use fast adaptive parameters.
3. Click OK.
Clear All Shift Adaptive Data (5th Gen TCMs Only)

The TCM continuously compares each up/down shift against a corresponding
“ideal” up/down shift pattern. Two algorithms are used to reach this ideal pattern
for each shift: Fast Adaptive and Slow Adaptive. If the TCM detects that the
difference between a real shift and the ideal pattern is significant, the Fast Adaptive
logic is used. This allows the TCM to use drastic changes to the shift parameters in
order to quickly converge the patterns. Once the two patterns meet a convergence
criterion, the TCM switches to slow adaptive, which allows the TCM to fine-tune
the up/down shifts.
The Clear All Shift Adaptive Data forces the TCM to use the Fast Adaptive
algorithm.
To Clear All Shift Adaptive Data:
2. Click on the Clear All Shift Adaptive Data menu item—the message
“Clear All Shift Adaptive Data Successful.” displays indicating that the
TCM has been reset to use fast adaptive parameters.
3. Click OK.

with the original factory calibration values and invokes fast adaptive algorithms to
adapt clutch control parameters. Reset Adaptive Shift Parameters applies to all
shifts or to specific up/down shifts.
123
NOTE:
 The adaptive values displayed in this section are refreshed only
at connection time and after resetting adaptive information. In
order to read current adaptive information, disconnect the
service tool, reconnect it, and then read the values.
 For 4th generation controls, the Garage Shift Adaptive
Parameters (Garage tab) resets only the N-2, R-2, and 2-R
adaptive parameters. Consequently, if a given situation
requires resetting all garage shifts, reset the following adaptive
parameters: Garage, R-1, D-R, N-R, and N-1 (tabs).
To Reset Adaptive Shift Parameters:

accelerometer calculations and TCM orientation detection stored values.
This action request is available for 5th Generation TC10 and ≥MY14 1K-4K TCMs.
NOTE: Accelerometer Reset is used to reset the current learning of the

accelerometer and is recommended any time the TCM is unbolted from
its mounting location for any reason – even if the exact same TCM is
re-installed in the exact same location.
To reset Accelerometer Learning Information:

2. Click on the Reset Accelerometer Learning Information menu item—A
message displays indicating that Accelerometer Learning Information has
been reset.
3. Click OK.
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.
NOTE: Refer to Accelerometer section for details about

Accelerometer-related data items.
To initiate Accelerometer Learning action request:

2. Click on the Accelerometer Learning menu item—the Accelerometer
Learning window displays.
138
3. To reset accelerometer installation angle learning:
a. Click on the desired radio button: “Disabled”, “Stopped, Begin”, or
“Forward, Begin”.
NOTE: Accelerometer Force Learn is recommended after a DOC

initiated reset of the TCM, as this will quickly relearn the accelerometer.
Accelerometer Force Learn is strongly recommended AFTER changing
the Accelerometer Force Learning Rate to Frozen – provides good
learning data for the Frozen accelerometer.
NOTE: Conditions for a Stopped learn:

- Vehicle is stopped
- Vehicle is in Neutral or Park
- Vehicle is Key On
- Engine is NOT running
- Vehicle should be parked on flat, level ground (e.g. Factory or Garage
floor)
The vehicle must meet and maintain these conditions for approximately
30 seconds during the Force Learn event in order to be successful.
NOTE: For Forward Learn, the vehicle will need to complete a

minimum of 3 forward accelerations during one key cycle until
verification of a complete forward learn (Accelerometer Force Learning
State changes to “Forward, Learning Complete”)
- Ideal conditions are flat, level ground
- Vehicle will need to be able to accelerate in a straight line for at least
5 seconds at full pedal
- After 5 second acceleration, vehicle can be stopped at any rate and
driven back normally to the starting location
 Recommend returning to the starting location using both left and
right hand turns
 Recommend not going to full pedal at any time between

accelerations.
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.
b. Click Apply button in the Reset group box.
4. To freeze (lock) accelerometer learning:

a. Click on the desired radio button: “Normal”, “Slow”, or “Frozen”.
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.
b. Click Apply button in the Freeze group box.

6-3. Reprogramming TCM (5th Gen)
Reprogramming 5th Gen TCMs is similar to reprogramming earlier TCMs.
NOTE: You must have obtained and entered the proper authorization
code to access this feature and reprogram the TCM/ECU.
NOTE: Reprogramming a transmission with a wireless or Bluetooth

connection is strongly discouraged. Due to the large volume of
messages, reprogramming may fail requiring a new calibration to be
loaded by an Allison dealer.
NOTE: FuelSense® 2.0 settings (Model Year 2017 or later) may be

changed on the FuelSense® view or in the reprogramming dialog’s
FuelSense® group.
TCM Reprogramming allows for modifying Customer Modifiable Constants

(CMCs) and Input/Output (I/O) information. Reprogramming is defined as
modifying CMCs and I/Os in an existing calibration. Reflashing or Recalibration is
defined as loading a new application program (firmware) and/or calibration into a
TCM. Before the Reprogramming TCM feature can be used, a password must be
obtained from the tool provider (usually Noregon Systems) and entered into the
Allison DOC®; alternately, an E-Learn ID and password can be entered on the
Subscription License page. For specific requirements to enable the Reprogramming
section in Allison DOC®, refer to section 4-1.
Accessing the Reprogramming Function

1. Select Reprogram from the main menu bar
NOTES:
1. You must be connected to a transmission in order to display the
Reprogramming screen. If you are playing back snapshots or using a
DEMO file, the reprogramming menu is disabled.
170
2. If you are connected to a transmission and the Reprogramming menu
option is disabled (grayed-out), it means that you have not enabled or
authorized this section in the tool or that the translator device is not
connected with a usb cable. Refer to section 4-1 for more information
on how to enable this section in the tool.
The Reprogram TCM window is divided in different sections:

 I/O—displays modifiable I/O information
 Customer Modifiable Constants—displays modifiable CMCs
 Active Package—displays current I/O active package
171
Reprogram TCM—command button used to reprogram the TCM after all the
modifications are entered are:
Close—command button used to close the Reprogram TCM window.
Print—command button used to print a report that contains current Calibration,
I/O, and CMC information.
Save—saves current configuration. Protected parameters cannot be saved since
they are password protected.
Select One—allows the user to select a previously saved configuration from the
drop-down menu.
Delete—deletes a configuration selected from the Select One drop-down menu.
Load—loads a configuration from the Select One drop-down menu. Note that the
configuration loaded must be compatible with the current vocational model.
Protected Parameters
Unlike earlier models of TCMs, 5th Gen TCMs have protected parameters.
Protected or locked CMCs are those that should only be changed in special
circumstances. These CMCs are programmable from Allison DOC®, but they
require permission from Allison to be updated. Protected parameters are marked in
the grid either as “locked,” if a password must be entered, or “unlocked,” if a
password has already been entered for it. If the Locked column is blank, the
parameter is not protected and may be reprogrammed at any time. For more
information on protected parameters, see the “Protected Parameters Tab”
description in 4-1.
Reprogramming 5th Gen Customer Modifiable Constants or I/O Items

Items that can be reprogrammed are categorized as either I/O items or CMCs.
CMCs are ordered in groups. Each group contains the calibration constants that can
be modified. Please refer to CMC definitions (Section 13–1) for more information
on each CMC. Reprogramming I/O items is almost identical to modifying CMCs,
except that the I/O items are not organized into groups.
Reprogrammable items include:
 Customer Modifiable Constant or I/O—a description of the item to be
modified.
 Value—the current assigned value of the item. The value can be modified,
as long as it is not locked.
172
 Locked—whether the parameter is locked, unlocked, or not protected at
all (blank).
NOTE: Each CMC has a maximum and a minimum limit to which the
value can be changed. This range is displayed in a tool tip. In order to
see that range, place the cursor (do not click) on the Value to modify.
NOTE: Some CMCs have additional restrictions. When such a CMC’s

value is modified, a dialog, similar to the following, will be displayed
describing said restrictions. Please read the information and comply as
necessary.
Failure to comply with the restrictions may result in an error. Please

check your reprogramming selections against the displayed rules before
contacting TAC:
173
Reprogramming Unprotected Parameters
To reprogram unprotected parameters:
1. Click the value to be changed.
2. Enter or select a new value as necessary.
3. Some changes, such as when enabling Prognostics, may display additional
messages:
174
Reprogramming Locked Parameters (for a specific TCM) (**)
1. Connect to a 5th Gen TCM, and bring up the reprogramming screen.
2. Click on the “Lock” value and change it to “Unlock”. Note: protected
parameters that will be unlocked for multiple TCMs can also be entered
on the Protected Parameter tab of the Software Configuration screen.
175
3. The Protected parameters window displays.
4. Complete all necessary information in dialog and click Submit.

Note: Unlocking a parameter through the reprogramming window will
generate parameter request that is specific to the attached TCM.
Requesting a quantity greater than one while connected to a TCM will
allow the user to reprogram the parameter multiple times for the same
TCM. This can be helpful when experimenting to find the optimal setting.
This password cannot be used to update another TCM.
Please see the description for the “Protected Parameters Tab” in section 4-
1 for more information.
176
5. Once the parameter is unlocked, the value will become enabled and the
value changed.
Reprogramming Package Assignments

number is displayed near the center of the Reprogramming window. Available
alternate package numbers are displayed immediately below the current package.
To reprogram the Current Vocation Package number:
1. Click on the pull-down menu.
2. Select the new I/O package.
Initiating Reprogramming on a 5th Gen TCM

Once the Reprogram TCM button is clicked, reprogramming will begin. This
process will proceed slightly differently than for earlier TCMs:
1. Allison DOC® will disconnect from the TCM during reprogramming.
2. While reprogramming, the user interface will appear slightly different.
3. After reprogramming, Allison DOC® will reconnect to the TCM.
To initiate TCM Reprogramming:

177

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.”
Auto Select Configuration
Possible Values: Observations:

 Autoselect (SEM/LRTP With the exception of Force
Not Required) SEM/LRTP Off, any Auto Select
 Force SEM/LRTP Off Configuration activates the
 SEM Required SEM/LRTP Autoselect tests.
 SEM and LRTP  Autoselect (SEM/LRTP Not
Required Required)—indicates that the
 LRTP Required TCM calibration would only
enable SEM/LRTP, if the
SEM/LRTP Autoselect tests are
passed.
If any of the SEM/LRTP Autoselect
tests fails, the TCM will not enable
SEM/LRTP, and no SEM/LRTP
DTCs will be logged, because
SEM/LRTP is not required.
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

 Recognized Engines must undergo an Allison
 Not Recognized Transmission certification process to verify
compliance with specific governor
characteristics and torque response accuracy.
Once a given engine is certified, Allison
Transmission includes it in the TCM
Calibration as a validated engine.
This information is used in the SEM/LRTP
Autoselect tests.
This parameter will be set to “Not
Recognized” when:
1. The TCM calibration is configured to
never use SEM/LRTP (indicated by Auto
Select Configuration = Force SEM/LRTP
Off), or
2. The TCM detected an engine that hasn’t
been validated and certified by Allison
Transmission; in which case the SEM/LRTP
Autoselect tests would fail.
The tests TCMs conduct to determine the
Engine Hardware Status are only re-run
when a new TCM software is loaded into
TCMs and/or when the tool resets SEM
Autoselect.
Description:
Indicates if the TCM calibration recognized (or not) the vehicle’s engine as an
Allison validated and certified engine.
323
SEM Enabled Status

 Enabled This parameter will be set to “Enabled” when all the
 Disabled SEM/LRTP Autoselect tests pass, in which case SEM
may be permanently enabled or activated.
Conversely, this parameter is set to “Disabled” when:
1. Any of the SEM/LRTP Autoselect tests has failed.
Depending on the Auto Select Configurations, some
DTCs may be logged, or
2. When the TCM is calibrated to never use SEM/LRTP
(indicated by Auto Select Configuration = Force
SEM/LRTP Off).
Description:
Indicates the SEM enable/disable status in the TCM calibration.
324
LRTP Enabled Status

 Enabled This parameter will be set to “Enabled” when all the
 Disabled SEM/LRTP Autoselect tests pass, in which case LRTP
may be permanently enabled or activated.
Conversely, this parameter will be set to “Disabled”
when:
1. Any of the SEM/LRTP Autoselect tests fails.
Depending on the Auto Select Configurations, some
DTCs may be logged, or
2. When the TCM is calibrated to never use SEM/LRTP
(indicated by Auto Select Configuration = Force
SEM/LRTP Off).
Description:
Indicates the LRTP enable/disable status in the TCM calibration.
325
SEM/LRTP Compatibility

 Compatible Part of the SEM/LRTP Autoselect process
 Not consists of testing the engine controller’s
Compatible support and reaction to a number of J1939
messages/parameters requested by the TCM.
Depending on the engine controller’s
message/parameter support and reaction to
these requests, the TCM determines if the
engine is compatible with SEM/LRTP or not.
This parameter will be set to “Not
Compatible” when SEM and/or LRTP is
required, but at least one of the SEM/LRTP
Autoselect tests fails.
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.

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.
