i have a freightliner columbia that shows "SM" on shift gear light. i pulled codes using the shifter and got code 22. any help would be great. thanks
SM = System malfunction 22= Clutch Actuator Here is the link for the freedom line transmissions: https://www.zf.com/usa_canada/media...ig_service_portfolio/zfmig_class8/TP01110.pdf
Pull inspection plate on bottom of trans, look and see if the clutch actuator has disengaged the clutch. Mine had the same codes, turned out my throwout bearing came apart and you could see the inner race in front of the throwout bearing.
