1 Fault Code 34 - Weak Battery Voltage Supply Fault Isolation Procedures TRTS0930 Fault Code 34 - Weak Battery Voltage Supply J1587: MID 130 PID 168 FMI 14 J1939: SA 3 SPN 168 FMI 14 Overview This fault indicates the vehicle is supplying weak battery voltage to the transmission for 10 seconds. When troubleshooting an Inactive code See Product Diagnostic (PD) Mode on page 11. Detection Starting at key-on and throughout operation, the Transmission Electronic Control Unit (TECU) constantly measures vehicle voltage. If voltage is below 9 volts for more than 10 seconds, Fault Code 34 will be set. The service light will not flash. Fallback If this fault occures while moving, it causes a 1-speed fallback. Once the vehicle is stopped, the starting gear and reverse can be engaged Possible Causes This fault code can be caused by any of the following: Corroded or loose power supply to TECU Low batteries Damaged Vehicle Harness TECU Charging system Eaton.

3 V COM A Fault Code 34 - Weak Battery Voltage Supply Fault Isolation Procedures TRTS0930 Fault Code 34 - Weak Battery Voltage Supply A Purpose: Measure battery voltage. Visually inspect batteries, inline fuse, power and ground supplies to TECU. B Purpose: Verify proper ground path at 4-way diagnostic port. 1. Key off. 2. Inspect starter/battery and in-line fuse holder connections for integrity. 3. Measure voltage across batteries. If voltage is 11 to 13 volts on a 12-volt system or 22 to 26 on a 24-volt system, proceed with battery load test. Repair or replace batteries as required. Go to Step B. If voltage is outside of range, repair or replace batteries, charging system as required. Repeat this step. 1. Locate diagnostic port on Transmission Harness. 2. Key on. 3. Measure voltage between Pin C and the battery negative post. Warning! - Do Not Load Test at Diagnostic Port 4-Pin Diagnostics Port B C A D VOLTS Battery Negative Post 4-way 4-Pin Diagnostic Port (Located at the left rear corner of the transmission.) B - Service Bat. + C - Service Bat. - A - Service Ignition + If voltage between is 0.70 volts or less, go to Step C. If voltage is outside of range, repair battery ground supply to TECU. Repeat test Eaton. All rights reserved

D Purpose: Measure ignition voltage at 4-way diagnostic port. 1. Locate diagnostic port on Transmission Harness. 2. Key on. 3. Measure voltage between Pin B and Pin C. 1. Key on. 2. Measure voltage between Pin A and Pin C. Warning! - Do Not Load Test at Diagnostic Port 4-Pin Diagnostics Port Warning! - Do Not Load Test at Diagnostic Port 4-Pin Diagnostics Port B A C D B C A D 4-way 4-Pin Diagnostic Port (Located at the left rear corner of the transmission.) 4-way B - Service Bat. + C - Service Bat. - A - Service Ignition + If voltage is within 0.6 volts of battery voltage, go to Step D. If voltage is outside of range, repair battery power supply to TECU. Fuse may be blown. Repeat test. 4-Pin Diagnostic Port (Located at the left rear corner of the transmission.) B - Service Bat. + C - Service Bat. - A - Service Ignition + If voltage is within 0.6 volts of battery voltage, go to Step E. If voltage is outside of range, repair ignition power supply to TECU. Fuse may be blown. Repeat test Eaton. All rights reserved 121

5 Fault Code 34 - Weak Battery Voltage Supply Fault Isolation Procedures TRTS0930 E Purpose: Check for active and Inactive fault codes. 1. Key on. 2. Retrieve codes. See Fault Code Retrieval/Clearing on page 5. If Fault Code 34 is Active, replace the: - Medium-Duty Transmission Electronic Control Unit (TECU) - Heavy-Duty Transmission Electronic Control Unit (TECU) Go to Step V. If Fault Code 34 is Inactive, clear codes. Go to Step V. V Purpose: Verify repair. 1. Key off. 2. Key on. 3. Clear codes. See Fault Code Retrieval/Clearing on page Reconnect all connectors and the negative battery cable. 5. Drive vehicle and attempt to reset the code 6. Check for codes. See Fault Code Retrieval/Clearing on page 5. If no codes, test complete. If Fault Code 34 appears go to Step A. to find error in testing. If code other than 34 appears, See Fault Code Isolation Procedure Index on page Eaton. All rights reserved
