General Information
Allison transmission wiring harness chafing causes disruption to gear engagement and fault code generation. To
reduce chafing, the wiring is routed using stand off brackets and tie straps to minimize contact with the
transmission parts. If chafed wiring is discovered, reference FSB 54-290 for proper repair procedure. This
bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with on-board diagnostics (OBDs) manufactured after 2016.
Harness Routing for 1K and 2K Models
The following transmission harness routing instructions are for 1K and 2K models with different fuel tank
configurations and equipped with a DD5, DD8, or Cummins
6.7L engine. Refer to Table 1 for parts list for 1K
and 2K transmissions only.
Right-Hand (RH) Single Fuel Tank
Mount the bracket (23-09130-017) using the self tapping screw (23-13974-020). Attach the harness to the
bracket using the fir tree with a tie strap (23-13482-003). See Fig. 1.
