Transmission Clutch Fill Calibration

The transmission clutch fill calibration will fine tune values for the clutch that is controlled by the valve.
If the parameters for the clutch fill are not correct, the quality of the transmission shift can be greatly
affected. In order to achieve greater consistency, the calibration procedure is automatic. The calibration
for transmission clutch engagement (submode 31 through submode 36) should be performed prior to the
transmission clutch fill calibration (submode 40).

On machines that are equipped with a heavy-duty parking brake, the transmission clutch fill calibration
is performed under submode 41 through 46 for the hold level and under submode 51 through 56 for the
ramp level.

ReferenceFor the correct procedure to perform the transmission clutch fill calibration on machines that
are equipped with a heavy-duty parking brake, refer to Special Instruction, REHS2466, "The Procedure
for the Calibration of the Transmission Mounted 265-5049 Parking Brake Gp ".

During the transmission clutch fill calibration (submode 40, 41-46, or 51-56), error codes (EXX) can
occur. The error codes will appear in the display area of the Caterpillar Monitoring System. The error
codes will appear if a problem occurs during the calibration or if there is a problem with the results of
the calibration. If there are problems or if problems are fixed, run the calibration (submode 40, 41-46, or
51-56) again.

During the procedure for transmission clutch fill calibration, the calibration software may need to adjust
one of the parameters beyond the limit of the design specification. In this case, error codes E21, E22,
E23, E24, E25, or E26 will appear in the display area after the calibration procedure is complete. The
software will select the best values, but the error code indicates that an error exists in either the
conditions for calibration or the transmission system. If error codes E21 through E26 are displayed,
check the following conditions for the source of the error:

Make sure that the transmission oil and the transmission components are fully warmed in order to
run the calibration.

Make sure that the clutch solenoid modulating valves are correctly torqued. (Make sure that the
valves are cool when the valves are torqued.)

Worn seals are causing leakage.

The clutch is worn beyond the allowable range.

The clutch solenoid modulating valve is damaged.

A clutch solenoid modulating valve was replaced, but not energized sufficiently prior to

performing the calibration procedure for the transmission clutch fill .

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

Procedure for Transmission Clutch Fill Calibration

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.

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. Park the machine on a smooth, level surface.

2. Shift the transmission direction control switch to the NEUTRAL position.

3. Lower the bucket or the work tool to the ground.

4. Engage the parking brake.

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

6. Install the steering frame lock.

7. 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.

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

1. The calibration for transmission clutch engagement (submode 31 through submode 36) should be
performed prior to the transmission clutch fill calibration (submode 40).

ReferenceFor more information on the calibration for transmission clutch engagement (submode
31 through submode 36), refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Engagement Pressure for the
Transmission Clutch - Calibrate".

2. Connect the 4C-8195 Control Service Tool to the service connector in the cab. The service
connector is located on the back wall of the cab to the right of the operator's station.

3. Use the 4C-8195 Control Service Tool to enter Transmission Calibration Mode (8) by using the
"MODE" switch. Then scroll to submode 40 by using the "SCROLL" switch. Enter submode 40 .

4. When the display reads 40 E05, warm the transmission oil to at least 58 C (136 F).

5. When the display reads 40 E04, place the direction switch in NEUTRAL.

6. When the display reads 40 E07, set the parking brake.

7. When the display reads 40 E06, increase the engine speed to high idle.

8. If all the conditions are correct for calibration, "0" will move across the display area of the
Caterpillar Monitoring System.

Note: If all the conditions are not correct for calibration, "0" will not move across the display
area. Instead, an error code (EXX) will appear. The calibration will not run until all necessary
conditions are met. Correct the error code and perform these procedures again. Check the error
codes in Table 2.

9. When all conditions are met and "0" is shown in the display area, shift the transmission direction
control switch to the FORWARD position. This begins the actual transmission clutch fill
calibration. The actual calibration will be completed in approximately 15 minutes.

10. The number in the display area changes and the number of the clutch (1 to 6) that is being
calibrated is now shown. The calibration procedure automatically advances to the next clutch.

Note: Many clutch fills occur during the procedure for transmission clutch fill calibration. Remain
seated. There will be some vibration and noise as the clutches are being calibrated. If any of the
conditions for calibration are violated during the calibration, the calibration will be stopped and
the corresponding error code (EXX) will be shown in the display area. Correct the error code and
perform these procedures again.

11. When the calibration of all the clutches is successfully completed, "---" will be shown in the
display area. An error code (EXX) may also be shown. This indicates a problem with the
calibration. The adjustments may not have been completed.

12. Shift the transmission direction control switch to the NEUTRAL position. This completes the
transmission clutch fill calibration.

13. To exit submode 40, scroll to the next submode by using the "SCROLL" switch or exit the
Transmission Calibration Mode by using the "MODE" switch.

14. Operate the machine in order to check the quality of the transmission shift.
