Allison 3000 & 4000 Gen 4 Fault Code: P0960 Pressure Control Solenoid Main Mod Control Circuit Open
DIAGNOSTIC RESPONSE:
None
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
Pressure control Main Mod solenoid is normally closed solenoid used to modulate the transmission main pressure schedule. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) commands the solenoid ON when specific transmission and engine conditions are met. When the Main Mod solenoid is commanded ON, pressure is routed to the main regulator valve and lowers the main pressure schedule. The TCM sends control current to Main Mod solenoid from High Side Driver 1 (HSD1) via wire 111. HSD1 is continuously ON unless the TCM detects a fault condition. The TCM regulates the amount of current to the Main Mod solenoid by switching the Main Mod Solenoid’s Low Side Driver ON and OFF. Wire 174 completes the circuit between the Main Mod solenoid and its Low Side Driver (LSD). DTC P0960 indicates that the TCM has detected an open condition in the Main Mod solenoid electrical circuit. The Open condition may exist in the high side (wire 111) or low side (wire 174).
CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC:
TCM initialized normally and engine speed above 200 rpm.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC:
This DTC sets when the TCM detects Main Mod solenoid low side driver has been detected in a failed open state.
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS:
When DTC P0960 is active:
1. Main Modulation is inhibited.
2. DTC is stored in the TCM history.
3. The CHECK TRANS light illuminates.
4. The TCM freezes shift adapts (DNA).
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC:
Use the diagnostic tool to clear the DTC from the TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from the TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS:
DTC P0960 can be caused by:
1. Main Mod issues such as:
– W17 4 high resistance or an open circuit in chassis harness.
– W17 4 (terminal 8 of 20-way) high resistance or an open circuit in internal transmission harness.
– Main Mod solenoid defective.
2. Unlocked connectors, expanded terminals, poor pin crimps or unlocked pins causing high resistance or open circuit.
3. Defective TCM.
