  1. Check the base label (Form WAR259) for a completion sticker for FL880 (Form WAR 260) indicating this work has been done. The base label is usually located on the passenger-side door about 12 inches (30cm) below the door latch. If a completion sticker is present, no work is needed. If a completion sticker is not present, continue with the next step.
  2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down the engine, and apply the parking brakes. Chock the tires.
  3. Disconnect negative battery cables at the batteries.
  4. Locate the transmission control unit (TCU) 21-pin connector TRANS_CTRL_D_ECU_TCU_DD_1A, and disconnect it. See Fig. 1.

 

Fig. 1, TCU 21-Pin Connector TRANS_CTRL_D_ECU_TCU_DD_1A Location

 

  1. Remove the 21-pin connector back shell cover, tie straps and harness wrap to access the terminals and wiring.
  2. Using tool DKIOCHA17002-1, or similar, release the yellow secondary lock by moving it away from the terminals until a slight click is heard or felt. See Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.

 

Fig. 2, TRANS_CTRL_D_ECU_TCU_DD_1A Connector

Fig. 8, Cab Mounted Skirt Removal

 

NOTE: The DT12 TCU ground overlay harness A66-13193-011 has an additional circuit which is not required.

This circuit is typically routed to the PTPDM, and back to the LH side splice, and will not be used for this repair. A circuit is already incorporated into the existing wiring on the vehicle, to meet its purpose.

  1. Remove the circuit from the A66-13193-011 harness as shown in Fig. 9. Once removed, the harness will now have four terminals at the TCU side, and a striped wire at the other end.

 

A. Remove this circuit from the A66-13193-011 harness.
1. GND_PWRTN_ENG_O_S_GNDE_5A (four wires should be present at this end of harness A66-13193-011)
2. GND_PWRTN_ENG_O_S_GNDE_2A (one striped wire should be present at this end of harness A66-13193-011)
