Hey all! This transmission sits in a 2007 international 9400i with a cat15. It has been throwing a code 35, while I’m working on testing the wiring harness for resistance and voltage, an odd thing has me perplexed.
I have an air leak. Cant figure out where it’s coming from… most likely from the parking brake release buttons. However… the push button auto shifter has a 13 pin wire harness connected to it. And when I pull it out, the air leak stops. Plug it back in and the air leak starts again. It’s been going on for a while now. But this electrical wire harness has no air to it. So why is the air leaking while it’s plugged in. My mechanic and tranny mechanic are baffled with this. Anyone come across this issue? Please help me understand why air leaks and stops due to an electrical wire harness…

File was too large to upload. You can get the manual from the Eaton website or online.
Code 35 is a J1939 communication error. Either a wiring harness or ECM. Page 2 lists your trans and Code 35 diagnosis starts on page 132.
Most likely the electrical controls air via a solenoid. Air flow starts or stops depending on the signal. -

My guess is the air piston is leaking and when you plug/unplug the wiring it stops the air flow to the piston.
Listen at the transmission vent for air. If it's coming out of there your leak is internal to the transmission housing.farmerdrew Thanks this.
