Troubleshooting the Detroit AMT transmission message code
After a diesel diagnostic tool is connected, the technician screens for Common Powertrain Controller (CPC4) SPN 168 battery-voltage faults and Controller Area Network SPN 625 line faults. The document then checks CPC4 reprogramming and parameter configuration, uses the service link to confirm which modules are configured and their communication status, and cycles the ignition, referring to the SPN 625/FMI 9 PT CAN routine when the fault stays active.
