Introduction
This section explains how the Powershift 6 speed
(ShiftMaster) electrical system works .
Central to the system is the ShiftMaster ECU (Electronic
Control Unit) 1. The unit receives ‘inputs’ from electrical
devices such as the gear select switch B. Depending on the
input signals the ECU ‘outputs’ energise electrical devices
such as gearbox solenoid control valves 2.
Component Identification
The ECU can be connected to diagnostics software loaded
on a laptop PC. The commincations link is facilitated via
diagnostics socket 3. See Powershift Gearbox - 6 Speed,
ShiftMaster Diagnostics - User Guide.
Note: The ECU also controls 2/4WD selection by activating
relay S. 2/4WD electrical system is not described in this
section.
