PROGNOSTICS FUNCTIONALITY FOR MODEL YEAR 2009

NOTE: Prognostics enabled requires the use of Allison Approved

TES 295 transmission fluid and Allison High Capacity Filters. If any
other fluids or filters are used, Prognostics must be DISABLED.
Prognostics information will not be accurate with any other fluid or
filters and could result in missed maintenance activities resulting in
transmission damage.

The three Prognostics functions are enabled or disabled as a group and cannot be
enabled or disabled individually. The OEM is the one who advises Allison
whether the Allison Prognostics feature should be available and functional in the
calibration installed in the TCM. The OEM may specify to enable the feature and
also default them to run (turn them on), enable the feature but keep them turned
off (not run by default but could be turned on with the Allison DOC™
re-programming tool) or finally disabled in the calibration and cannot be turned on
by Allison DOC™ re-programming tool. The OEM may also specify whether
Prognostics may be reset by the Allison shift selector, J1939 message, or only
with the use of the Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool.
Refer to Table 4A and Table 4B for instructions to access Prognostics Functions
through the shift selectors.

Oil Life Monitor (OM). Oil life is calculated based on hours of engine and
transmission operation. Miles will be approximated from the hours and calibrated
information. The number of shifts per mile will determine the duty cycle of the
transmission and the oil life limits will be based on the observed duty cycle.
Hours will be accumulated when the engine is running including when the vehicle
is stationary for PTO operation or for extended idle time.
Oil life is calculated on the following:
• Operating hours
• Output revolutions
• Shift density
• Retarder accumulator applies.
Calendar based fluid requirements (refer to FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE
INTERVAL RECOMMENDATIONS at the end of this section) still apply because
Oil Life Monitor cannot measure time while ignition power is OFF. If the OM has
not indicated the need for a fluid change before 60 months (five years) have
passed, it will be necessary to change the fluid and filters per calendar
requirements and reset the system.
