The Fuller Advantage transmission uses the X-Y Shifter to select the proper rail and engage or disengage a gear, with the Shift Finger position controlled and monitored by the TECU through the X-Y Gear Position and Rail Position Sensors. This fault can only be detected when there are no failures of the TECU or the position sensors, and the reported values are valid but do not match the requested positions.

Applicable truck models

This one-page sheet applies to Eaton Fuller Advantage Heavy Duty transmissions equipped with the X-Y Shifter. Possible causes under FMI 14 include TECU internal failure, bent, spread, corroded or loose transmission harness terminals, wiring shorted or open, and a damaged Gear Position or Rail Position Sensor. Fallback places an “F” in the gear display, sounds an audible tone, and holds the current gear. Confirm model coverage with the manufacturer on the Eaton official website.
