¥ 3408E and 3412E engines 1 769D/771D/773D/775D OFF-HIGHWAY TRUCKS 1998 Caterpillar Inc. c INTRODUCTION
The 769D and 771D update trucks are equipped with a Caterpillar 3408E engine and the 773D and 775D update trucks are equipped with a
Caterpillar 3412E engine. These engines utilize the Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injection (HEUI) system for power, reliability and economy with reduced sound levels and low emissions.
The engine power ratings for the update trucks are: 769D/771D--362 kW (485 flywheel hp)
773D--485 kW (650 flywheel hp) 775D--517 kW (693 flywheel hp)
The load carrying capacities and the Gross Machine Weights (GMW) of the update trucks are:
769D--36.8 Metric tons (40.6 tons) @ 68182 kg (150,000 lbs.) GMW 771D--40.0 Metric tons (44.1 tons) @ 73970 kg (163,100 lbs.) GMW 773D--52.3 Metric tons (57.7 tons) @ 92530 kg (204,000 lbs.) GMW 775D--62.6 Metric tons (69.1 tons) @ 106594 kg (235,000 lbs.) GMW Shown is the left side of a 775D update truck. The fuel tank is located on the left side of the truck.

Shown is the front of a 775D update truck. The 773D and 775D update trucks use a conventional radiator core. All other Caterpillar Off-highway Trucks use a folded-core style radiator.
The folded-core style radiator provides the convenience of repairing or replacing smaller individual cores. The conventional radiator core requires repair or replacement of a large single core.
¥ Radiator cores - folded-core - conventional core
¥ Truck body options: - 12 degree flat floor - Dual-slope

Shown is the rear of a 775D update truck. Two body options are available for the D-series update trucks:
- A 12 degree flat floor design that provides uniform load dumping, excellent load retention and a low center of gravity.
- A dual-slope design with a "V" bottom main floor to reduce shock loading, center the load and reduce spills.
All internal wear surfaces of the truck bodies are made with 400 Brinell hardness steel. All attachment body liners are also made with 400 Brinell hardness steel. The external components of the bodies are made of steel with a yield strength of 6205 bar (90000 psi).
The rear suspension cylinders absorb bending and twisting stresses rather than transmitting them to the main frame.

Supply oil for the transmission and the torque converter is contained in the torque converter case. Sight gauges (1) are used to check the oil level for the transmission and the torque converter.
Transmission and torque converter oil is added at the fill tube (2). When filling the transmission and torque converter oil sump after an oil change, fill the sump with oil to the top of the upper sight gauge. Crank the engine for approximately 15 seconds. The oil level will decrease as oil fills the transmission and torque converter system. If the engine starts, do not allow it to run for more than 15 seconds. Add more oil to the sump to raise the oil level to the FULL COLD mark. Crank the engine for an additional 15 seconds. Repeat this step as required until the oil level stabilizes.
Start the engine and warm the transmission and torque converter oil. Add more oil to the sump as required to raise the transmission and torque converter oil level to the FULL WARM mark with the engine running.
NOTICE
Failure to correctly fill the transmission and torque converter oil sump after an oil change may cause transmission clutch damage.

2. Transmission and torque converter oil fill tube
¥ Transmission and torque converter oil fill procedure
Use only Transmission Drive Train Oil (TDTO) with a specification of (TO-4) or newer.
- TDTO TO-4 provides maximum frictional capability required for clutch discs used in transmissions and torque converters.
- Increases rimpull because of reduced slippage.
- Use only mono-viscosity (straight weight) oils. Multi-viscosity oils use viscosity improvers which, when subjected to shearing
situations, are reduced to the lower weight rating. For example, when a 10W-30 oil is used in a sheer condition, after time the oil will only perform to 10W specifications.
- Never use engine oil in transmissions. Engine oils are formulated to minimize friction. Oils used in transmissions and torque converters must allow adequate friction to reduce slippage.
¥ Hoist and brake hydraulic tank
1. Oil level sight gauge door 7 1 2 4 3
Shown is the hoist and brake hydraulic tank. The oil level is checked by opening the small door (1) and looking through the sight gauge The oil level should first be checked with cold oil and the engine stopped. The level should again be checked with warm oil and the engine running. Use only Transmission Drive Train Oil (TDTO) with a specification of (TO-4) or newer.
- TDTO TO-4 provides maximum frictional capability required for clutch discs used in the brakes.
- Increases brake holding capability by reducing brake slippage. - Controls brake chatter.
Check the hoist and brake hydraulic tank breather (2) for plugging (cover removed for visibility). Clean the filter if plugged. If oil is flowing from the filter, the hoist and brake hydraulic tank may be overfilled.
Hoist and brake cooling oil returns to the hydraulic tank through a screen located below cover (3).
The diverter (towing) valve (4) is used when it is necessary to release the parking brakes for towing with a dead engine. The towing valve will be discussed in more detail in the Air System and Brakes section of this meeting guide.

The fuel tank is located on the left side of the truck. The fuel level sight gauge (1) is used to check the fuel level during the walk around
inspection.
A fuel level sender is located on the fuel level sight gauge. The fuel level sender provides input signals to the Caterpillar Monitoring System or the attachment Vital Information Management System (VIMS) which informs the operator of the fuel level.
The percentage of sulfur in the fuel will affect the engine oil
recommendations. The following is a summary of fuel sulfur and oil recommendations:
1. Use API CG-4 performance oils.
2. With fuel sulfur below 0.5%, any API CG-4 oils will have a sufficient Total Base Number (TBN) for acid neutralization. 3. For fuel sulfur values above 0.5%, the new oil TBN should be a
minimum of 10 times the fuel sulfur.
4. When 10 times the fuel sulfur exceeds the oil TBN, reduce the oil change interval to about 1/2 the normal change interval.
Open the drain valve (2) to remove condensation from the fuel tank.

Shown is the location of the parking brake retraction filters (1). Oil flows from the parking brake retraction pump through the parking brake
retraction filters to the parking brake retraction valve. Oil flows from the parking brake retraction valve to the parking brake piston in the rear brakes when the parking brakes are released.
Parking brake retraction supply oil also flows to the hoist control valve and is used as pilot oil to shift the hoist directional spool.
Hoist and brake oil samples can be taken at the Scheduled Oil Sampling (S¥O¥S) tap (2).
Located to the right of the parking brake retraction filters are the transmission and torque converter filters (3). Oil flows from the transmission and torque converter charging pump through the transmission and torque converter filters to the transmission control valves on top of the transmission and to the torque converter lockup clutch valve located on top of the torque converter.
Transmission and torque converter oil samples can be taken at the Scheduled Oil Sampling (S¥O¥S) tap (4).
A transmission and torque converter filter bypass switch (5) is located on the filter base. The bypass switch provides input signals to the Caterpillar Monitoring System or the VIMS which informs the operator if the
transmission and torque converter filters are restricted.

Located behind the air filters is the steering system tank. Check the steering system oil level at the sight gauge (1).
The steering system oil filter (2) is located on the side of the steering tank. Steering system oil samples can be taken from the Scheduled Oil
Sampling (S¥O¥S) tap (3) located on top of the steering filter.
The steering system uses a pressure compensated piston type pump. Case drain oil from the steering pump returns to the hydraulic tank through a screen that is part of the fitting (4) installed in the side of the steering tank.
Before removing the cap to add oil to the steering system, depress the pressure release button (5) on the breather to release any remaining pressure from the tank.

Located near the air filters and the steering tank are the front and rear brake cylinders (1) and the brake oil makeup tank (2).
Inspect the condition of the breathers (3) for the brake cylinders. Oil should not leak from the breathers. Oil leaking from the breathers is an indication that the oil piston seals in the brake cylinder need replacement. Air flow from the breathers during a brake application is an indication that the brake cylinder air piston seals need replacement.
If air is in the system or a loss of oil downstream from the cylinders occurs, the piston in the cylinder will overstroke and cause an indicator rod to extend and open the brake overstroke switch (4). The switch provides an input signal to the Caterpillar Monitoring System or the VIMS which informs the operator of the condition of the service/retarder brake oil circuit. If an overstroke condition occurs, the problem must be repaired and the indicator rod pushed in to end the warning.

The remaining 10 Hours or Daily checks are performed in the operator's compartment. They are as follows:
- Brakes: Check operation
- Indicators and gauges: Test operation - Seat belt: Inspect
- Back-up alarm: Test operation - Secondary steering: Test operation
The brakes are checked by engaging one of the brake systems and placing the shift lever in FIRST FORWARD. Accelerate the engine until the truck moves. The truck must not move below 1200 rpm. This procedure should be repeated for each brake lever or pedal.
See the Operation and Maintenance Manual for more information on the remaining tests performed in the cab.

The blue service lamp (arrow) located on the left side of the cab is part of the attachment Vital Information Management System (VIMS). When the key start switch is turned to the ON position, The VIMS runs through a self test. During the self test the service lamp will flash three times if there are logged events stored in the VIMS main module and once if there are no logged events.
During normal operation, the service lamp will turn ON to notify service personnel that the VIMS has an active machine or system event. The service lamp flashes to indicate when an event is considered abusive to the machine.
INSTRUCTOR NOTE: For more detailed information on the VIMS, refer to the Service Manual Module "Vital Information Management System (VIMS)" (Form SENR6059).

The Caterpillar Monitoring System is the standard monitoring system installed on the D-series update Off-highway Trucks. The Caterpillar Monitoring System is a flexible, modular monitoring system that includes: a message center module, various switches and sensors, an action lamp and action alarm.
The "heart" of the system is the message center module where information is received from switches and sensors over the CAT Data Link and
processed. The message center module then activates various outputs.
The Vital Information Management System (VIMS) is being tested as a possible future attachment on the D-series update trucks.
If a truck is equipped with the VIMS, the message center control module of the Caterpillar Monitoring System is replaced with the VIMS message center module, a keypad module, a VIMS main module and two interface modules.

OPERATOR MODES
The Caterpillar Monitoring System has eight different possible modes of operation. Each mode provides important information regarding the condition of the machine and setup of the monitoring system. On the message center module display window, each mode is shown as a number. The mode of operation is changed using either the Service Switches located on the fuse panel behind the Operator or the Operator Mode Scroll Switch located on the dashboard. Only some modes are accessible to the Operator by using the dashboard-mounted rocker switch in Mode 0.
After the Caterpillar Monitoring System first powers up, the message center display window will be in Mode 0. In Mode 0, the display window six-digit readout shows various machine system conditions to the
Operator. The digital readout normally shows the service meter. Using the Operator Mode Scroll Switch, the Operator may scroll through the different Operator modes. As the display scrolls, it will show the following information:
¥ Message center module display window
¥ Service Meter Mode: The message center module keeps track of the engine's total number of operating hours. When in service meter mode, the six digit readout shows total machine operating hours. The service meter symbol is ON to indicate the display is functioning as a service meter. The operating hours will only increase when there are input signals from the engine speed timing sensor, the alternator "R" terminal and the engine oil pressure sensor. If there is an Active Fault, SERV CODE will be displayed in the window.
¥ Odometer Mode: In this mode, the six-digit readout displays the total distance the machine has traveled. The units indicator will show MILES or KM, depending on the units of measure setting. The distance traveled will only increase when there is an input signal from the transmission output speed sensor.
¥ Digital Tachometer Mode: This mode displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute on the six-digit display. The units indicator shows RPM. The engine speed/timing sensor provides the input signal to the message center module.
¥ Resettable Load Counter Mode: Displays the number of loads since last re-set by the operator. The number of loads is calculated as equal to the number of times the body has been raised for more than ten seconds. The body up switch provides the input signals to the message center module. The load count can be cleared by depressing the "C" Service Switch located behind the Operator's seat.
¥ Diagnostic Scrolling Mode: Using this mode, service personnel or the operator can view the faults the message center has detected. Faults CANNOT be placed on hold or cleared in this mode. "SERV CODE" will only be displayed if the fault is ACTIVE.
Fault Codes consist of two parts:
¥ MID - Module Identification. 030--Monitor, 036--ADEM II, 027--EPTC III, 116--ARC/TCS
¥ CID, FMI - Component Identification and Failure Modifier Refer to the Serviceman's Handouts for a listing of the Diagnostic Codes used on the D-series update Off-highway Trucks.
NOTE: During engine cranking, if the Caterpillar Pre-Lubrication System is installed, a "P" will appear on the display during
pre-lubrication.
During engine cranking, if the ether starting aid is installed, an "E" will appear on the display during ether injection.

The Service Technician can use the message display to check other machine condition information by selecting the different modes available. Depress both Service Switches behind the Operator's seat to Scroll
through the Modes. Release the switches to enter a Mode when its number is displayed. The seven Service Modes are described below. ¥ Harness Code Mode 1: This mode shows the machine model that the
monitoring system is installed on. 769D through 777D pre-update Off-highway Trucks are all "34." D-series update truck harness codes are:
769D--"62" 771D--"61" 773D--"60" 775D--"59"
¥ Numeric Readout Mode 2: This mode assists service personnel with troubleshooting sensor inputs. Numeric readout mode more accurately shows the same information as that shown on the gauges. The digital readout will display one gauge value at a time. To scroll through the four gauges, depress the "S" Service Switch and release the switch when the desired gauge number is displayed.
¥ Service modes: - Harness code mode 1 - Numeric readout mode 2 - Service mode 3 - Log mode 4 - Units mode 5 - Permanent load count mode 6 - Diagnostic and programming mode 7
¥ Service Mode 3: The message center module detects faults that occur with sensor/sender inputs and message center module outputs. The message center will then record the fault and turn on the "SERV CODE" indicator. If the fault goes away, the "SERV CODE" indicator is turned off. The fault code remains stored for future reference. This mode helps service personnel see and trouble shoot faults that the message center module has detected. Faults from other machine systems that are attached to the Data Link are also shown in this mode.
When a fault is displayed in the window, the Action Alarm will sound when the component or circuit changes state. For example, if the display shows the fault code for the torque converter temperature sensor and the technician unplugs and then plugs in the connector to the torque converter temperature sensor, the Action Alarm will sound if the
Message Center Module detects a change from an OPEN to a completed circuit.
Use the "S" Service Switch to scroll through logged faults. Use the "C" Service Switch to clear logged faults that have been repaired.
¥ Log Mode 4: Log mode is a management and maintenance tool, useful for tracking machine history. The message center module records the extreme value for each machine condition monitored. When in this mode, each gauge in the four-gauge cluster will display its highest or lowest recorded condition and the speedometer and tachometer will display their highest recorded values. Alert Indicators will also light when an abnormal condition has existed.
Use the "C" Service Switch to clear the logged values. Mode 4 must also be exited before the logged values will be cleared from memory. ¥ Units Mode 5: This mode is used to toggle the Ground Speed display
(MPH/km/h) between U.S. and SI (metric) units of measure. Use the "C" Service Switch to change the units of measure.
¥ Permanent Load Count Mode 6: Displays the total number of loads accumulated since the machine was put into production. The number of loads is calculated as equal to the number of times the body has been raised for more than 10 seconds. This Mode is not resettable.
¥ Action alarm sounds when fault is
displayed
¥ SERV CODE on for active faults
¥ Use "S" service switch to scroll faults
¥ Use "C" service switch to clear faults

¥ Diagnostic and Programming Mode 7: The Caterpillar Monitoring System display for Mode 7 has been expanded to include several sub-modes to extend the diagnostic capabilities. After entering Mode 7, use the "S" service switch to scroll through the sub-modes. The operator scroll switch and the "C" service switch can also be used in some of the sub-modes. The sub-modes in Mode 7 are as follows:
7.1 Shift Monitoring Mode--displays the position of the shift lever sensor on the left of the display and the position of the transmission gear switch on the right of the display. The D6 digit will display an "L" when the lockup clutch is ENGAGED.

7.5 Hoist Display Mode--displays the hoist lever sensor INPUT to the Transmission and Chassis Control or the hoist lever OUTPUT from the Transmission and Chassis Control. The input and output can be different depending on the hoist lever strategy. For example, if a machine is started with the hoist lever in FLOAT, the hoist strategy will keep the body in HOLD until the lever is cycled from FLOAT to HOLD and then back to FLOAT. Therefore, the input can be FLOAT and the output will be HOLD.

The VIMS operates very similar to the Caterpillar Monitoring System. The VIMS uses two interface modules to receive input signals from many sensors located around the machine. The VIMS also communicates with other electronic controls on the machine. The VIMS provides the
operator and the service technician with a complete look at the current and past conditions of all the systems on the truck.
If the truck is equipped with the VIMS, the TPMS is an integral part of the VIMS. Access to the TPMS information is provided through the VIMS message center and keypad modules and a laptop computer with the VIMS PC software installed.
While VIMS monitors all of the systems on the truck, ET is used for programming, running diagnostic tests and retrieving logged information from the engine, transmission and chassis, ARC and TCS electronic controls.

operation 28 1 4 3 2 POWER TRAIN
Power Train Components
The first component in the power train is the torque converter. The torque converter provides a fluid coupling that permits the engine to continue running with the truck stopped. In converter drive, the torque converter multiplies torque to the transmission. At higher ground speeds, a lockup clutch engages to provide direct drive. The NEUTRAL and REVERSE ranges are converter drive only. FIRST SPEED is converter drive at low ground speed and direct drive at high ground speed. SECOND through SEVENTH SPEEDS are direct drive only. The torque converter goes to converter drive between each shift (during clutch engagement) to provide smooth shifts.
Mounted on the torque converter case are the lockup clutch control valve (1), the outlet pressure relief valve (2), the transmission and torque converter pump (3) and the transmission and torque converter suction screen (4).

Shown are some of the power train components in a 775D update truck. Power flows from the torque converter through a drive shaft to the transfer gears (1). The transfer gears are splined to the transmission. The transmission (2) is located between the transfer gears and the differential (3). The transmission is electronically controlled and
hydraulically operated like all other ICM (Individual Clutch Modulation) transmissions in Caterpillar rigid frame trucks.
The transmission is a power shift planetary design which contains seven hydraulically engaged clutches. The transmission provides seven FORWARD speeds and one REVERSE speed.
The differential is located in the rear axle housing behind the
transmission. Power from the transmission flows through the differential and is divided equally to the final drives in the rear wheels. The final drives are single reduction planetaries.

Power Train Hydraulic System
The torque converter housing is the oil sump for the transmission and torque converter oil supply.
A two section transmission and torque converter pump is located at the rear of the torque converter. The rear section is the transmission scavenge section (1) of the pump and the front section is the transmission and torque converter charging section (2) of the pump.
The transmission scavenge section pulls oil through the magnetic screen located at the bottom of the transmission case (see next slide). The scavenged oil from the transmission is transferred into the torque converter case through a baffle (diffuser) located behind the cover (3). The transmission and torque converter charging section of the pump pulls oil from the torque converter case through the suction screen located behind the cover (4). Oil flows from the charging section to the
transmission and torque converter charging filters (5). Charging oil flows in two directions from the filters:
- Charging oil flows to the torque converter lockup valve located on top of the torque converter.
- Charging oil also flows to the transmission control valves located on top of the transmission.
¥ Charging oil flows in two directions: - To torque converter

1. Torque converter lockup valve
2. Lockup valve supply port 3. Lockup solenoid 33 2 1 4 3
The transmission and torque converter charging pump supplies oil to the torque converter lockup valve (1) through the inlet port (2). When the lockup solenoid (3) is energized by the transmission and chassis control, the lockup valve supplies oil to ENGAGE the lockup clutch in the torque converter.
Torque converter lockup clutch pressure can be measured at the tap (4). Torque converter lockup clutch pressures are as follows:
769D/771D--Pressure will increase to 2065 ± 100 kPa (300 ± 15 psi) for 0.15 seconds, then decrease and hold at 1720 ± 100 kPa (250 ± 15 psi). 773D/775D--Pressure will increase to 2410 ± 100 kPa (350 ± 15 psi) for 0.15 seconds, then decrease and hold at 2065 ± 100 kPa (300 ± 15 psi). To check the lockup clutch pressure the drive shaft must be disconnected at the torque converter or the rear axles must be removed. Move the shift lever to first forward and raise the engine speed to HIGH IDLE. The lockup clutch will engage at approximately 6.4 km/h (4 mph).
An 8T5200 Signal Generator/Counter can also be used to shift the transmission.
The lockup clutch pressure is not adjustable. If the lockup clutch pressure is not correct, verify that the lockup valve is operating correctly. Check for loose or sticking components or debris in the valve. If the lockup valve is operating correctly and the lockup clutch pressure is incorrect, a new flash file may be required.

The transmission and chassis control provides a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal to the lockup solenoid to control the lockup pressure. When the lockup solenoid is energized, the pin moves to the right and pushes against the ball. The ball blocks the pump supply oil from flowing to drain. Pressure increases in the chamber to the left of the control spool and moves the spool to the right.
When the control spool moves to the right, pump supply oil flows to the lockup clutch. The transmission and chassis control opens and closes the ball drain port as needed to maintain the correct lockup clutch pressure.
The lockup clutch valve is often referred to as the Electronic Clutch Pressure Control (ECPC) valve because it can control clutch pressure electronically. A similar valve is used on Track-type Tractors and Wheel Loaders.

Shown is the Individual Clutch Modulation (ICM) transmission hydraulic control valve. Oil flows from the transmission and torque converter charging filters through the inlet port (1) to the transmission hydraulic control valve and the shift solenoids (2). The charging oil is used to shift the transmission and fill the clutches. Some of the charging oil drops to the bottom of the housing to be scavenged, but most of the oil flows to the torque converter through the outlet hose (3) to provide charging oil for the torque converter. The torque converter inlet relief valve (4) limits the maximum pressure to the torque converter.
The setting of the torque converter inlet relief valve is 930 kPa (135 psi). The transmission charging pressure relief valve is part of the transmission hydraulic control valve. The relief valve limits the maximum pressure in the transmission charging circuit. Transmission charging pressure can be measured at the tap (5). Transmission pressure should be a minimum of 2480 kPa (360 psi) at LOW IDLE and a maximum of 3200 kPa (465 psi) at HIGH IDLE.
Transmission clutch pressures are measured at the pressure taps (6). Lubrication and cooling oil from the the transmission and torque converter oil cooler enters the transmission through inlet port (7).

Shown is a sectional view of the ICM transmission hydraulic control valve group.
Pump supply oil flows to the shift solenoids, the priority reduction valve, the relief valve and the pressure control group. Pump supply oil also flows to the lockup valve. The relief valve controls the maximum charging pressure in the system. The priority reduction valve reduces transmission relief pressure to be used as pilot oil. Pilot oil flows through the neutralizer valve to the rotary selector spool. The neutralizer valve prevents the clutches from filling with oil if the engine is started with the transmission in gear. The neutralizer valve will only allow pilot oil to flow to the rotary selector spool if it is in NEUTRAL.
The rotary actuator is connected to the rotary selector spool. If a shift solenoid is energized, pump supply oil flows to the rotary actuator and rotates the rotary selector spool. The rotary selector spool directs pilot oil to one or two valve stations and allows the clutches to fill with oil. The valve stations control the modulation of clutch engagement and
dis-engagement.

Charging oil flows from the transmission and enters the torque converter through inlet port (1). The torque converter charging oil enters the torque converter and provides a fluid coupling.
The torque converter charging oil then either drops to the bottom of the housing or flows through the torque converter outlet relief valve (2). The outlet relief valve limits the pressure inside the torque converter. The outlet relief pressure can be measured at the tap (3) on the outlet relief valve. The outlet relief pressure should be between 205 and 550 kPa (30 and 80 psi) at Stall Speed. Stall Speed should be between
1760 and 1890 rpm.
All the oil from the torque converter outlet relief valve flows from port (4) through the transmission and torque converter oil cooler located on the right side of the engine. Oil flows from the oil cooler back to the transmission for lubrication. Transmission lube oil flows through the transfer gears and the transmission to cool and lubricate the internal components.
A torque converter outlet temperature sensor (5) provides an input signal to the Caterpillar Monitoring System or the VIMS which informs the operator of the torque converter outlet temperature.

The transmission scavenge section pulls oil through the magnetic screen located at the bottom of the transmission case. The scavenged oil from the transmission is transferred into the torque converter case through a baffle (diffuser).
¥ Transmission and torque converter charging section
The transmission and torque converter charging section of the pump pulls oil from the torque converter case through the suction screen. Oil flows from the charging section to the transmission and torque converter charging filters. Charging oil flows in two directions from the filters:
- Charging oil flows to the torque converter lockup valve located on top of the torque converter.
- Charging oil also flows to the transmission control valves located on top of the transmission.
The charging oil that flows to the torque converter lockup valve is blocked from the lockup clutch until the lockup valve solenoid is
energized by the transmission and chassis control. When the lockup valve solenoid is energized, the lockup valve supplies oil to ENGAGE the lockup clutch in the torque converter.
The charging oil that flows to the transmission hydraulic control valve also supplies the shift solenoids. The charging oil is used to shift the transmission and fill the clutches.

Transmission and Chassis Control (EPTC III)
The transmission and chassis control (arrow) is located in the
compartment at the rear of the cab. The transmission control used in the D-series pre-update trucks is referred to as the second generation Electronic Programmable Transmission Control (EPTC II).
The transmission control used in the D-series update trucks performs the transmission control functions plus some other machine functions (hoist and secondary steering control). Because of the added functionality of the control, it is now referred to as the transmission and chassis control. But, to keep written material to a minimum, we will often refer to this control as the third generation Electronic Programmable Transmission Control or (EPTC III).
The new control is a MAC14 style electronic control, which means that it is a Multiple Application Control capable of 14 outputs (MAC14). The MAC14 does not have a diagnostic window like EPTC II. Diagnostic and programming functions must all be done with an Electronic Control Analyzer Programmer (ECAP) or a laptop computer with the Electronic Technician (ET) software installed. ET is the tool of choice because the MAC14's can be reprogrammed with a "flash" file using the Winflash application of ET. ECAP cannot upload "flash" files.
MAC14's look like the second generation Advanced Diesel Engine Management (ADEM II) electronic control with two 40-pin connectors, but MAC14's do not have fittings for cooling fluid. Also, there is no access plate for a personality module.
