What does it mean when your transmission is inhibited?
When the TCM inhibits the transmission operation, you may notice the PRNDL display flashing on and off or display Gear Inhibited or Shift Inhibited. These conditions can cause the TCM to inhibit transmission operation. High engine RPM on engagement — Check engine RPM while shifting into gear.
Why is my Allison Transmission inhibiting gear ranges?
In this issue of Keep Those Trannys Rolling, we’re going to look at one of the most common problems plaguing Allison’s LCT transmission group: inhibited gear ranges or shifts. These conditions are usually a result of the Transmission Control Module (TCM) receiving incorrect inputs from onboard sensors.
What happens when a TCM enters transmission abuse protection mode?
If the TCM receives an input that’s far enough out of range to affect transmission operation, the TCM will enter Transmission Abuse Protection Mode. In this mode, the TCM can inhibit engagements into drive and reverse and any or all shifts, depending upon what caused the TCM to enter this mode. What Is the TCM Monitoring?
How does a transfer case sensor inhibit transmission?
Transmission fluid pressure switch manifold — Provides the TCM with signals for monitoring clutch engagement and shift timing. Transfer case position sensor or switch — Provides the TCM with a signal to identify transfer case range. Now let’s discuss how each of these inputs can cause the TCM to inhibit transmission operation.

Why is my transmission range inhibit warning not working?
Basically the tcm would get hot and develop a fault putting it into limp mode or neutral while driving, let it sit key off for 20-30 min and would be ok till the tcm got warm again, 5-15 min. When hot it wold not show up on the network or talk to DOC.
What does check trans and range inhibit mean?
The driver just came in off of route and she took pictures of display when it had the problem. “check trans” comes on, “range inhibit” comes on, “eng warn” comes on in the center display. “Engine warning” & “Veh speed error” comes on in the digital display area.
