Reprogramming TCM

1-1. Reprogramming TCM

NOTE: You must have obtained and entered the proper


authorization code to access this feature and reprogram the
TCM/ECU.

TCM Reprogramming allows for modifying Customer Modifiable Constants (CMCs) and Input/Output (I/O) information.
Reprogramming is defined as modifying CMCs and I/Os in an existing calibration. Reflashing or Recalibration is defined as loading a
new application program (firmware) and/or calibration into a TCM. Before the Reprogramming TCM feature can be used, a password
must be obtained from the tool provider (usually SPX Kent Moore) and entered into the Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool. For
specific requirements to enable the Reprogramming section in Allison DOC™, refer to section 4-1.

Enabling/Authorizing the Reprogramming Section in Allison DOC™ For PCService Tool


1. Select Options from the main menu bar.

2. Select Application Configuration—the Application Configuration window displays.

3. Click on the Reprogramming Tab.

4. Enter the reprogramming Password.

5. Enter the Product Serial Number.

6. Click Apply—the Reprogram tab grays-out to indicate that the Reprogramming function has been enabled or authorized.
Accessing the Reprogramming Function
1. Select Reprogram from the main menu bar

NOTES:

1. You must be connected to a transmission in order to display the


Reprogramming screen. If you are playing back snapshots or using a
DEMO file, the reprogramming menu is disabled.

2. If you are connected to a transmission and the Reprogramming


menu option is disabled (grayed-out), it means that you have not
enabled or authorized this section in the tool. Refer to section 4-1 for
more information on how to enabled this section in the tool.

a. If the TCM/ECU password was changed from its defaulted values (i.e. eight zeros “00000000” or “Allison_”) the
TCM/ECU Password dialog box displays.

b. Enter the TCM password

c. Click the OK button—

2. The Reprogram TCM window displays.


The Reprogram TCM window is divided in different sections:
• Input/Output Information—displays modifiable I/O information
• Customer Modifiable Constants—displays modifiable CMCs
• Active Package—displays current I/O active package
• Password—displays current TCM/ECU password

Reprogram TCM—command button used to reprogram the TCM after all the modifications are entered are:
Close—command button used to close the Reprogram TCM window.
Print—command button used to print a report that contains current Calibration, I/O, and CMC information.
Save—saves current configuration. This includes current I/O, CMC, Active Package and TCM Password selection. Enter a unique name
for the saved configuration. This function is particularly useful when reprogramming multiple vehicles with the exact same calibration.
Select One—allows the user to select a previously saved configuration from the drop-down menu.
Delete—deletes a configuration selected from the Select One drop-down menu.
Load—loads a configuration from the Select One drop-down menu.

Reprogramming Input/Output Configuration


Allison 4th Generation Controls allows disabling or enabling wires independently of their assigned functions.

Wire/Databus—displays the wire number assigned to a specific function. Possible values are:
Wire #—a 3-digit number describing the TCM wire #.
Databus—the function is available on the databus.

State—indicates if a wire is enabled or disabled in the calibration. State is user modifiable.

Name—describes the I/O function name.

State—indicates if a function is enabled or disabled in the calibration. State is user modifiable.

To reprogram Wire Status and Function Status:


1. Check (enable) or uncheck (disable) the State checkbox for the Wire # and/or Function as needed.

NOTES:

1. If the user disables a wire that is assigned to an enabled function,


the function will only remain enabled if its signal can be received via
communication link. Otherwise, both the wire and function will be
disabled.

2. If the user disables a function, the calibration will cease using that
function regardless of the signals (wire or Databus) being received
for that particular function.

Reprogramming Customer Modifiable Constants


CMCs are ordered in groups. Each group contains the calibration constants that can be modified. Please refer to CMC definitions
(Section 13–1) for more information on each CMC.

CMC information includes:


• Customer Modifiable Constants—a description of the CMC.
• Value—the current assigned value of the CMC. The CMC value can be modified.

NOTE: Each CMC has a maximum and a minimum limit to which


the value can be changed. This range is displayed in a tool tip. In
order to see that range, place the cursor (do not click) on the Value to
modify.

To reprogram CMC values:

1. Click the value to be changed.

2. Enter or select a new value as necessary.

Reprogramming Package Assignments


Each calibration group contains several I/O packages. The current Active Package number is displayed near the center of the
Reprogramming window. Available alternate package numbers are displayed immediately below the current package.

To reprogram the Current Vocation Package number:

1. Click on the pull-down menu.

2. Select the new I/O package.

Reprogramming TCM Password


Each TCM has a password that is defaulted to eight zeros “00000000” or “Allison_”, depending on the TCM software. If the user
changes the TCM password, the TCM will require the user to enter that new password next time the reprogramming section is invoked.

To reprogram the TCM Password:


Enter 8 numeric characters in the Password input box.

Initiating TCM Reprogramming


TCM reprogramming can be initiated after all applicable entries (I/Os, CMCs, etc.) are made in the TCM Reprogramming window.
To initiate TCM Reprogramming:

1. Click the Reprogram TCM button.

2. A warning window displays

3. If you want to continue, click YES.

4. The tool starts reprogramming the wires. A red status bar is displayed at the bottom of the TCM Reprogramming window.

5. A window is displayed indicating the wires were successfully reprogrammed.

6. Click OK.

7. The tool continues the process of reprogramming the CMCs. A red status bar is displayed at the bottom of the TCM
Reprogramming window.

NOTE: If the service tool receives an error message from the TCM
(for example a CMC value is out-of-range), a window (describing
the problem) will be displayed, and the service tool re-displays the
reprogramming screen.

8. A window displays indicating the CMCs were successfully reprogrammed.

9. Click OK.

Reprogramming Status for WTEC II, WTEC III, and CEC2

During the reprogramming function, a status line displays at the bottom of the reprogramming window.

NOTE: The reprogramming of WTEC II, WTEC III, and CEC2


might take several minutes. Please be patient and make sure ignition
and power is always provided during this process.

The following status messages are displayed for a WTEC II ECU:


• Calculating calibration length and starting address.
• Entering programming mode.
• Reading calibration data.
• Writing CMCs.
• Calculating calibration checksums.
• Writing calibration checksums.
• Exiting programming mode.
• Reinitializing ECU.

• The following status messages are displayed for a WTEC III or CEC2 ECU:
• Calculating calibration length.
• Entering programming mode.
• Reading calibration data.
• Saving old calibration data.
• Calculating CMC checksum.
• Erasing calibration data.
• Writing calibration data.
• Exiting programming mode.
• Sending re-initialize auto-detect action request.
