General Information
Background Information
Allison electronically controlled transmissions may be
equipped with an optional transmission interface har-
ness for customization by the body builder. The in-
terface harness provides the vehicle interface wiring
(VIW) connector to body builders for use in tying in to
the transmission electronics for their specific applica-
tion. The transmission interface harness provides for
one type of VIW connector that is documented in the
Allison transmission engineering documentation.
The transmission interface harness provides the VIW
connection for the current generation of 1000/2000 Se-
ries or 3000/4000 Series electronic controls, depend-
ing on the transmission that is installed in the vehicle.
The transmission interface harness provides most of
the optional I/O circuits, and the speedometer signal,
in a connector that can be used by the body builder.
See Specifications 400 for wiring diagrams of the
Allison Transmission® 1000/2000 Series and 3000/
4000 Series VIW Connector.
CAUTION
Be extremely careful when installing the terminals
in the connector. The terminals are very small and
may get bent if not handled with care.
Troubleshooting
See the Allison Troubleshooting Manual for trou-
bleshooting procedures.
Troubleshooting is dependent on the calibration that is
programmed in to the transmission control unit (TCU).
To determine the TCU calibration, obtain information
from the 343 module data code on the vehicle sales
order, or use Allison’s diagnostic software, Allison
DOC.
