E2201 Transmission Slip Detected in First Forward Range

Machine Response:

Transmission unable to engage in FORWARD from NEUTRAL or unable to transmit the appropriate level of torque in LOW FORWARD range.

Note: Troubleshoot all related electrical diagnostics prior to starting this troubleshooting procedure. Related diagnostics include: (CID 1401) XMSN Solenoid #1. (CID 669) XMSN Input Speed Sensor (CID 2820) XMSN Planetary Speed Sensor (CID 585) XMSN Output Speed Sensor #1 (CID 673) XMSN Output Speed Sensor #2 (CID 2817) XMSN Synchro #1 Position Sensor
