This Eaton Fault Code 36 procedure is the official Fuller Advantage Heavy Duty transmission fault-isolation document (publication TRTS0980) used to diagnose lost J1939 communication between the Engine ECU and the Transmission Electronic Control Unit (TECU). The 5-page PDF gives technicians the exact resistance and continuity checks required to isolate the fault and verify the repair. All connector wiring and pin-outs are OEM proprietary, so the guide works alongside the vehicle manufacturer documentation.

Applicable transmissions and connectors
The procedure applies to Fuller Advantage Heavy Duty automated transmissions that use a TECU, a 38-Way Vehicle Harness Connector and a 9-Way Diagnostic Connector in the cab. Because all wiring and pin-outs are OEM proprietary, the document repeatedly directs technicians to OEM guidelines for harness repair or replacement. Manufacturer model and connector data is published on Eaton’s official Roadranger website.
