Oil Level Sensor (OLS) Present, Not Present

Throttle* Analog, J1587, J1939
Engine Coolant Temperature Analog, J1587, J1939
* A pulse width modulated (PWM) throttle source is not “autodetected.” This source requires a
unique calibration or can be manually selected using Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool.

Even though autodetect has been completed, it can be reset to monitor an

additional group of engine starts. Reset may be necessary if a device known to be
present is not detected or if an autodetectable component or sensor was added
after the initial vehicle build.
Reset is accomplished by using the Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool. The
Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool may also be used to override autodetect and
manually enter the component or sensor to be recognized by the TCM by
changing appropriate “customer modified constants.”

ALLISON 4TH GENERATION MODEL YEAR 2009

PROGNOSTICS FUNCTIONS
Allison Transmission, Inc. has introduced three new diagnostic parameters that are
available only on 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-speed transmissions for Model Year 2009
(MY09). These new diagnostic parameters will provide indicators of required
maintenance actions and are named “Prognostics” because they predict required
transmission maintenance. These new Prognostics include the following:
• Oil Life Monitor (OM)
• Filter Life Monitor (FM)
• Transmission Health Monitor (TM)
Prognostics are designed to maximize fluid (the terms oil and fluid are used
interchangeably) and filter utilization and provide an early indication of clutch
system concerns so that an inspection may be scheduled before a clutch fails and
causes other transmission damage.
The following items are required to allow MY09 Prognostics:
• Allison approved TES 295 transmission fluid and Allison High Capacity
Filters.
• Transmission with filter life valve body and pressure switch.
• MY09 TCM.
• Filter pressure switch wiring in the OEM wiring harness from the
transmission to the TCM.
• MY09 Allison pushbutton or lever shift selector or an OEM installed shifter
plus a service indicator light or J1939 text message display. The OEM
service indicator light may also be used with a J1939 text messaging
display.
