Unauthorized use of this document or the proprietary processes therein without permission may be violation of intellectual property law. Information contained in this document is considered Caterpillar: Confidential Yellow.

This special instruction contains the necessary information that is required to bench test a specific transmission arrangement. Refer to Table 2 for the correct arrangements. Bench testing the transmission ensures correct assembly and operation of the component. Rotating a transmission provides the most conclusive evaluation. Testing allows the dealer to ensure that the transmission will operate properly in the machine. The specifications in this guideline are specific to bench testing the component. Every effort has been made to provide the most current information that is known to Caterpillar. Continuing improvement and advancement of product design might have caused changes to your product which are not included in this publication. This guideline must be used with the latest technical information that is available from Caterpillar.

For technical questions when using this document, work with your Dealer Technical Communicator (TC).

To report suspected errors, inaccuracies, or suggestions regarding the document, submit a form for feedback in the Service Information System (SIS Web) interface.

Collecting The Test Data

Since conditions vary for each test bench, use the data that is collected from your test bench. The collected data is used to compare test results. The data should be collected and maintained by the operator.

Data from each transmission arrangement is collected and stored. Averages from each transmission arrangement are often used to compare values on portions of transmission tests. Always compare data that is collected from the same transmission arrangement that is being tested. Averages for the last 20 transmission arrangements should be maintained.

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

Personal injury or death can result from escaping fluid under pressure.

Escaping fluid under pressure, even a very small pin-hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue and cause serious injury and possible death. If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.

Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak.


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

Hot oil and components can cause personal injury.

Do not allow hot oil or components to contact skin.


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

Personal injury or death can result from not following the proper procedures.

To avoid the possibility of injury or death, follow the established procedure.


Canceled Part Numbers and Replaced Part Numbers

This document may include canceled part numbers and replaced part numbers. Use NPR on SIS for information about canceled part numbers and replaced part numbers. NPR will provide the current part numbers for replaced parts.

Tools Needed

Note: Pressures will be sensitive to tooling setup. The diameter of the hose, the diameter of a fitting, and extra filtering can affect pressure. The required tools that are listed in Table 3 were used to develop this test procedure.

Test Procedure

TA3 Navigation

  1. Select "OEM Transmissions".

  2. Select "CX31_OEM_Truck-12V".

Harness Test

  1. Make sure that the harness is properly connected.

  2. Use Tooling (V) to perform the Harness Test.

  3. Record the results in Table 6.

Start Checks

  1. Warm the Cat Synthetic ATF or TDTO oil to 50 °C (122 °F). Maintain this temperature for the duration of the test. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, KENR5090, "CX31 On-Highway Transmisson",Testing and Adjusting, UENR1833, "CX31 On-Highway Transmisson" used in Cat Truck, or Testing and Adjusting, KENR6986, "CX31-P600 Petroleum Transmission" for additional information.

  2. With the transmission in the NEUTRAL position, rotate the input shaft in a counterclockwise direction. Adjust the input rotation to 600 ± 20 rpm.

    Note: The input shaft will be rotated in a counterclockwise direction for the duration of this test. The direction is determined as you face the drive motor of the test bench.

  3. Shift the transmission through all directions and all speed ranges in order to eliminate air from the transmission controls.

  4. Verify that the active clutches are correct for each gear range. Refer to Table 4.

  5. Stop the input rotation.

  2. Record the values in Table 8 and Table 10 for each gear range.

  3. Verify all test points with the values in Table 7 and Table 9.

  4. Shift the transmission through each gear range and repeat Steps 2 and 3.

    Note: Always shift the transmission back to NEUTRAL when shifting between FORWARD and REVERSE.

High Idle Checks

  1. Adjust the input rotation to 2100 ± 20 rpm in the NEUTRAL position.

  2. Record the values in Table 12 and Table 14 for each gear range.

  3. Verify all test points with the values in Table 11 and Table 13.

  4. Adjust the input rotation to 600 ± 20 rpm.

  5. Shift the transmission through each gear range and repeat Steps1 through 4.

    Note: Always shift the transmission back to NEUTRAL when shifting between FORWARD and REVERSE.

Contamination Control

  1. Take an oil sample of the test bench oil supply. Oil contamination must be maximum ISO 16/13.

  2. Record the results in Table 15.

  3. Remove the transmission from the test bench if the test bench oil supply is within specifications.
