Check Transmission Light 86pt 8V92 do not shift - Gregory OConnor - 05-03-2007 01:53 Ryan wrote: The "Check trans" switch, when flipped the opposite direction of what it was, caused the "check trans" light to flash the code: Three quick flashes, short pause, two more flashes, long pause, repeat. So, first digit 3, second 2 = code 32. Having read OBD diagnostic codes off of cars for years (many early systems would flash the "check engine" light in the same manner to show you the codes) this was second nature to me. So, I called Mr. Oliver's and Paul gave me a name & phone number, and that person found an Allison dealer close to me and also looked up the code info. As for the "J" solenoid, apparently it regulates shifting. This makes sense given that the light only comes on after shifting. ~$200 + 4-5 hours labor to replace I'm told. I'll find out for sure in the morning, I suppose. ![]() -Ryan 86pt40 8V On the Road Ryan I reposted your informative post under a new thread because it holds good info. The thread subject name and "proper ID of bus" will help others find the info. I think it a good idea to remind the Allison Tec that the bus 1)has a batterybank 2)bank gets depleated during long storage 3)a very high amp alt. If the J solenoid is shifting properly, why change it. The code may be generated by some volt, wire, or connection problem that wont get replaced with the new internal part. The early warning light is proving to be a wolfcry. Dependent on; amps, ohms, volts, and all that 'lectric bull, the computer warning lights fail to warn of a problem with the warning. I had an Allison tranny shop do my first oil change filter service because I wanted a pro to have a look at old oil character and filter deposits and run the bus down the road. That invoice was around 500.00 GregoryO'Connor 94ptRomolandCa |
