Engagement Pressure for the Transmission Clutch - Calibrate

Usage:

950G 2JS
Incorrect transmission clutch pressure adversely affects the life of the transmission. Submodes 31 through 36 are used in order to set the transmission clutch pressure of each clutch. In this process, the service technician adjusts the electrical current that is sent to each transmission clutch modulating valve in order to obtain the specified transmission clutch pressure. The calibration of the transmission clutch pressure should be performed prior to the transmission clutch fill calibration (submode 40).

The transmission system must be calibrated if any of the following conditions have occurred:

  • A transmission clutch modulating valve has been replaced or cleaned.

  • A different power train ECM has been installed.

  • A transmission clutch has been rebuilt.

  • The transmission clutch does not shift correctly.

Procedure

------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine movement.

Sudden movement of the machine can cause injury to persons on or near the machine.

Prevent possible injury by performing the procedure that follows before working on the machine.

----------------------

------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot oil.

Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system after the engine has been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic system.

Make sure all of the attachments have been lowered, oil is cool before removing any components or lines. Remove the oil filler cap only when the engine is stopped, and the filler cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand.

NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Tools and Shop Products Guide" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Caterpillar products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.


  1. Park the machine on a smooth, level surface.

    Transmission Directional Control Switch

  1. Shift transmission direction and speed control lever (7) (if equipped) to the NEUTRAL position and to any speed position. Shift the transmission direction control switch (8) (if equipped) to the NEUTRAL position.

  1. Lower the bucket and/or the attachment to ground.

  1. Engage the parking brake.

  1. Place blocks in front of the wheels and behind the wheels.

  1. Install the steering frame lock.

  1. Shut off the engine.

  1. Allow only authorized personnel on the machine. Keep unauthorized personnel off the machine and in clear sight of the operator.

Note: The steps of this procedure must be performed exactly, as described below. This procedure may terminate if any unknown functions or any unexpected functions are activated. This procedure may terminate if a fault (CID FMI) is present. Do not move any switch positions, any levers or any pedals unless you are instructed differently.

  1. Make sure that transmission direction and speed control lever (7) (if equipped) is in the NEUTRAL position. Make sure that transmission direction control switch (8) (if equipped) is in the NEUTRAL position.

  1. Make sure that the parking brake is engaged.


    NOTICE

    Do not connect or disconnect hose fittings to or from the quick disconnect nipples when there is pressure in the system. This will prevent damage to the seals that are in the fitting.


  1. Install the correct hose assembly from 1U-5482 Pressure Adapter Group on the pressure tap of the transmission clutch modulating valve of the clutch that is being calibrated. Attach the opposite end of the hose assembly to the 0 to 3400 kPa (0 to 580 psi) pressure gauge in the 1U-5481 Pressure Gauge Group .

  1. Start the engine and operate the engine at low idle.

    Note: If a new transmission clutch modulating valve was installed, shift the transmission for at least 12 times into a speed or a direction that uses the transmission clutch modulating valve. Refer to Illustration 1 in order to identify the transmission clutch modulating valve and the corresponding clutch. Allow sufficient time for the corresponding clutch to be fully pressurized.

  1. Increase the engine speed to high idle.

  1. Warm the transmission oil to at least 40°C (104°F).

  1. The Caterpillar Monitoring System will display the correct pressure for each clutch, when the conditions are correct. The units of the value that is displayed is shown in one-tenth of kPa. Multiply the value that is shown in the display by 10 to determine the true specified value in kPa. Record the value.

    Make the following adjustments in order to calibrate the clutch pressures. Refer to Table 4.

    Note: The Caterpillar Monitoring System will not display the correct pressure for each clutch, when the conditions are not correct. Instead, an error code (EXX) appears. The calibration will not run until all necessary conditions are met. Correct the error code and perform these procedures again. Refer to table 1 for a list of the error codes and the meaning of the error codes.

  1. When all conditions are met and the pressure is shown in the display area, shift transmission direction and speed control lever (7) (if equipped) to the FORWARD position. When all conditions are met and the pressure is shown in the display area, shift transmission direction control switch (8) (if equipped) to the FORWARD position. This pressurizes the clutch that is being calibrated.

  1. The value that is shown in the display area will change and a number that corresponds to the electrical current of the particular transmission clutch modulating valve is shown. The INCREMENT (+) and DECREMENT (-) positions of the "CLEAR" switch can now be used to adjust the electrical current of the transmission clutch modulating valve. The electrical current of the transmission clutch modulating valve controls the transmission clutch pressure.

    Use the "CLEAR" switch in order to adjust the transmission clutch pressure. Adjust the transmission clutch pressure until the pressure gauge reading matches the specified transmission clutch pressure from Step 8.

  1. Shift transmission direction and speed control lever (7) (if equipped) to the NEUTRAL position. Shift transmission direction control switch (8) (if equipped) to the NEUTRAL position. This completes the calibration of the selected clutch.

  1. To exit this submode, use the "SCROLL" switch to scroll to the submode that corresponds to the next clutch that needs to be calibrated, or scroll to submode 40. Refer to Table 3 for a list of the submodes for calibration of the transmission clutch engagement. Submode 40 is used in order to calibrate the transmission clutch fill. Exit the Transmission Calibration Mode by using the "MODE" switch.

Reference: For more information on submode 40, refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Fill Time for the Transmission Clutch - Calibrate" for the machine that is being serviced.

Reference: For more information on the Caterpillar Monitoring System, refer to Systems Operation, "Monitoring System (Power Train Functions)" for the machine that is being serviced.
