The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition/Concern
Customer may comment that the vehicle will surge or stall when in gear at a stop. Technicians may find DTC P0742
(TCC System-Stuck On) or feel the TCC is applied.
Recommendation/Instructions
To help isolate if the concern is transmission internal or external use the following diagnosis.
1. With the engine off disconnect the 20 way connector at the transmission (C-175 for model years 2001 – 2007
and X-175 for model years 2008 – 2013).
On 2006 – 2013 model years: Using a fused jumper wire, connect terminal R of the automatic transmission
inline 20-way connector to a known good ground.
2. With the vehicle on a flat level surface start the engine and place in drive with service brakes applied.
If the vehicle still stalls the concern has been isolated to the transmission. Inspect the TCC solenoid and valve
in the main valve body.
If the vehicle does not stall inspect wiring between the TCM and transmission if no concern is found swap the TCM
into a known good vehicle after clearing any DTCs to determine if the concern follows the TCM.
Note: Please refer to bulletin 02-07-30-042D before performing any repair on an Allison transmission installed in a
C4500-C8500 Series Models that are currently under warranty.
Note: The above information is meant only as a diagnostic aid and WILL NOT isolate an engine drivability related
concern.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is
resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
