Diagnostic Procedure
Sympton Overview
High-Speed Downshift Protection
The Orion control module is equipped with advanced diagnostic features to evaluate the integrity of the system and provide oper-
ator feedback of a system fault. In addition, if the fault shall result in a condition that shall compromise the reliability of the trans-
mission or result in a safety risk, the system logic will compensate and default to a safe mode. The diagnostic capability of the
control module includes identification of the following component failures. The service light used for identification of a compo-
nent failure is on for 2 seconds upon vehicle start up to allow for identification of a service light burn-out. The service light will
flash for 1 second on and 1 second off for the following failures:
•
Speed Sensor Failure
•
Range Valve Failure
•
Deep Range Valve Failure
•
Range Switch Failure
•
Deep Range Switch Failure
•
Pneumatic Failure (a pneumatic failure resulting in the engagement of the 4th and not-allowed deep range state will
result in a high range default and fault identification
•
Ignition Failure (the control module will not shut off if the ignition fails while the vehicle is moving).
•
Battery Failure (the control module is capable of operating on the ignition power if the battery shall fail while the vehicle
is moving).
Prevent Deep / High Selection
The transmission utilizes two range pistons, each with a for/aft position to achieve three range positions. The mechanical design
of the actuation and engagement system results in a total of four potential configurations. The fourth position that is not utilized
results in an auxiliary ratio of deep range. However, while the transmission power flow achieves the deep ratio, the load and dif-
ferential speed imparted on the mechanical elements can result in damage to the transmission. To prevent transmission damage
and operator confusion, the system is designed to prevent this configuration. This is prevented by a mechanical interlock in the
master control valve that prevents selection of this configuration. However, analysis has indicated that there are electrical and
pneumatic failure modes that can result in this configuration. The control module is equipped with logic to recognize this and
automatically shift the transmission to high range.
Bypass System
If the transmission has a electronic component failure it will go into down shift protection mode. When in down shift protection,
the transmission will engage high range at the first opportunity and will keep it in high range until the source of the failure is
gone. The by-pass mode was created to allow the vehicle to be driven only in low range if high range is not suitable for condi-
tions. This will allow the vehicle to be driven to a place where the repair can be done. To turn on the by-pass system the driver
must stop the vehicle, use the parking brake and turn on the by-pass OEM control (inside the vehicle cabin).
