Table 1
Minimum Maximum Default
1100 rpm TEL rpm TEL rpm "Lower Gears Turn Off Speed"
This parameter is the vehicle speed which turns off the "Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit". This must be matched with the "Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit" to the specific drive train for best performance.This parameter should remain at the default value if the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission. This parameter may be changed from the default value if the transmission is an Eaton Top 2.
Table 2
Minimum Maximum Default
5 km/h (3 mph) 48 km/h (30 mph) 5 km/h (3 mph) "Intermediate Gears Engine RPM Limit"
This parameter is similar to the "Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit". The engine will accelerate at a slower rate when this limit is exceeded under normal driving conditions. This parameter is typically programmed to a slightly higher rpm than the "Lower Gears Engine RPM Limit".This parameter should remain at the default value if the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission. This parameter may be changed from the default value if the transmission is an Eaton Top 2.
Table 3
Minimum Maximum Default
1000 rpm TEL rpm TEL rpm "Intermediate Gears Turn Off Speed"
This parameter is similar to the "Lower Gears Turn Off Speed". This parameter is typically programmed to a slightly higher vehicle speed than the "Lower Gears Turn Off Speed".This parameter should remain at the default value if the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission. This parameter may be changed from the default value if the transmission is an Eaton Top 2.
Table 4
Minimum Maximum Default
8 km/h (5 mph) 80 km/h (50 mph) 8 km/h (5 mph) "Gear Down Protection RPM Limit"
This parameter is the engine rpm limit when the vehicle speed is above the "Gear Down Protection Turn On Speed". This is a hard limit. The Engine Control Module (ECM) will not allow fuel to the engine above this limit. This parameter is used to encourage the driver to shift into overdrive or top gear.This parameter should remain at the default value if the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission. This parameter may be changed from the default value if the transmission is an Eaton Top 2.
Table 5
Minimum Maximum Default
1300 rpm TEL rpm TEL rpm "Gear Down Protection Turn On Speed"
This parameter is the vehicle speed when the "Gear Down Protection RPM Limit" is turned on. This must be matched to the specific drive train for best performance. The engine rpm is limited by the "Gear Down Protection RPM Limit" when the vehicle speed is above the value of this parameter.
Table 6
Minimum Maximum Default
48 km/h (30 mph) 204 km/h (127 mph) 121 km/h (75 mph) "Low Idle Engine RPM"
This parameter is the minimum engine rpm.
Table 7
Minimum Maximum Default
600 rpm 750 rpm 600 rpm "Transmission Style"
This parameter indicates the type of transmission that is installed in the vehicle. This parameter determines the signals that are read by the ECM:
Brake switch (No. 2)
Clutch pedal position switch
Neutral switchProgram this parameter to "Automatic" if an automatic transmission is installed. The ECM will look for the brake switch (No. 1) and the neutral switch.Program this parameter to "Manual" if a manual transmission is installed. The ECM will look for the brake switch (No. 1) and the clutch pedal position switch.The Eaton Top 2 transmission is a manual transmission and the Eaton Top 2 transmission requires a clutch switch. A total of six parameters must be programmed for the system to operate correctly. The ECM operates two outputs in order to control shifting between the top two gears of an Eaton Top 2 transmission. The "Lockout Solenoid" and "Shift Solenoid" parameters must be programmed to the correct terminals on the P1 connector.
