Transmission Calibration
Illustration 1 g01370834
Note: The following procedure will require the machine to be driven. Shifting will be harsh at the beginning of the procedure. The quality of the shifts will improve throughout the calibration of the transmission. The quality of the shift will stabilize to a consistent level as the calibration is completed.
Verify that the fluid in the transmission is at the correct level. The transmission fluid level test is a manually initiated operation. The results are indicated on the gearshift selector. The operator may initiate the fluid level test after the following conditions are met. The vehicle must be level, stationary, and idling. The vehicle must also have a transmission fluid temperature of 80° C (176° F)at a minimum. Perform the following actions in order to initiate the test. Simultaneously press the up arrow and the down arrow. Simultaneously release the up arrow and the down arrow. The gearshift selector will count down from 24. The results are displayed when the count is complete. The table below shows the possible readings and the descriptions.

"OL-LO-##"     Oil level is low by "## "quarts.    
"OL-HI-##"     Oil level is high by "##" quarts.    
"OL-OK"     Oil level is correct.    
Connect and open the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET). Confirm a J1939 connection.
Click "Configuration" on the menu bar. Select "Vehicle Configuration Parameters" from the options on the left side. Click "Transmission Calibration Configuration" from the drop-down list.
Program the calibration to "All Clutches". See figure 1 for more information.
Cycle the power to the ECU. Turn the key start switch from the ON position to the OFF position. Now, turn the key start switch to the ON position.
Verify that the oil temperature of the transmission is in a normal range. A normal range is above 60 °C (140 °F) and below 100 °C (212 °F). The calibration will not begin until the oil temperature reaches 60 °C (140 °F).
Complete this step before leaving the lot. With the parking brake RELEASED and the service brake APPLIED, shift the transmission from NEUTRAL to DRIVE. Shift the transmission from NEUTRAL to REVERSE.
