4.1 READING/DELETING ALLISON MD 3060 FAULT CODES

Fault code read function
To enter the fault code reading mode, briefly

press the two arrow keys twice simultaneously.

"D-1" appears on the display, followed by "-".

This means that at that point there are no faults

(active faults) in the system. It also means that no

faults have been registered that were earlier

temporarily present and have now been cleared

(inactive faults). The fault code reading function

can be left by pressing "D", "N", or "R" or the

arrow keys.

If the red lamp lights up while reading a fault

code, this means that there is an active fault in the

gearbox.

No message during reading means that the fault

is inactive.

The ECU can save five active/inactive fault codes

in its memory and show them on the display.

Fault codes consist of two sets of two digits (main

codes and sub-codes). To read the codes

consecutively, the "MODE" button must be

pressed each time.

The letters and digits appear one at a time on the

display.

The hyphen after D4 means that there are no

further faults and that it is therefore not necessary

to look at level D5.

As the ECU can only contain the five most

important codes, the five most important codes

will be seen on D1 to D5. Only when one of the

faults has been remedied will the ECU be in a

position to show a less important fault.

Deleting fault codes
After faults have been remedied, the ECU

memory must be deleted. This is done as follows.

Press the arrow keys twice simultaneously. This

is the fault code reading mode. Press the

"MODE" key and hold it down until the red lamp

flashes three times (the first flash will be after

approx. three seconds, the second after approx.

10 seconds). All codes, active or inactive, have

now been deleted. Codes which return following

deleting and can therefore no longer be deleted

are active. Both types of fault need their causes

tracing and remedying as quickly as possible.

After the fault codes have been deleted the

ignition must be switched off and re-started;

otherwise it will not be possible to drive. This can

be seen from the flashing of the gear lever

position.

Inactive faults are automatically deleted by the

ECU if the fault no longer occurs after the vehicle

ignition has been switched off and on 25 times.

It is not possible to remedy all fault codes. Fault

codes that cannot be found in the "Table of Fault

Codes" can best be remedied by an Allison

dealer.

He has test and diagnostic apparatus at his

disposal that can be connected to a special

diagnostic socket in the central box (next to the

DAVIE connector).
