Allison Transmission PROGNOSTICS - School Bus Transmissions

New MD and HD Allison Transmission PROGNOSTICS Information, be prepared when your driver calls in with the warning or the Tech completes a service and needs to reset the data.....



Eliminate Unnecessary Oil and Filter Changes

Routine Maintenance Made Easier

 
 
As part of Allison Transmission’s continuous product

improvement initiative, all Allison fully automatic

transmissions are now available with prognostic

features

* at no additional charge.

Allison prognostics take the guesswork and hassle out

of scheduling routine vehicle maintenance to save you

time and money while providing maximum protection

for the transmission. That means less downtime, lower

life-cycle costs and, best of all, greater productivity for

your fleet.

Calibrated to the particular operating requirements

of the vehicle, Allison prognostics monitor various

operating parameters to determine and alert when a

specific maintenance function is required. Allison

approved TES 295 transmission fluid is required.

 
 

On-highway models only. Allison transmissions can be ordered

without Allison prognostics.

 
 


Allison prognostics alert

when service is due


How Allison prognostics work.



While Allison prognostics use sophisticated

electronic monitoring technology, they are

very user friendly.

When service is due for Allison

3000/4000 Series models,

a wrench icon on the shift

selector’s digital display alerts

the operator. And, similar to

checking fluid level and diagnostics, you

can check the status of all three prognostic

features simply by toggling through the shift

selector’s display.

1000/2000 Series models require either a

service light or J1939 text display to alert

the operator.



Accessing prognostics via Allison shift selectors.
 

When fluid is due for a change:


The wrench icon

(3000/4000 Series) or

service light (1000/2000

Series) is

illuminated and

stays on for two minutes



after the Drive range is

selected. Once the Oil Life

Monitor mode has been accessed via the shift selector, a number

between “0” and “99” will be displayed indicating the percentage

of fluid life remaining before a change is required.


When the filter(s) are due for a change:


The wrench icon or service

light

flashes on and off for

two minutes


after the Drive

range is selected. Once the

Fluid Life Monitor mode

has been accessed via the

shift selector, an “oK” or

“Lo” will be displayed. “oK” means the filter(s) does not need to be

changed, and “Lo” means the filter(s) needs to be changed.


When clutch maintenance is due:


The wrench icon or service

light

comes on and stays on

in all ranges. Once Transmission

Health Monitor

mode has been accessed via

the shift selector, an “oK”

or “Lo” will be displayed. “oK” means no clutch maintenance is

needed, and “Lo” means clutch maintenance is required.
