Reprogramming Requirements ATDT incorporates a reprogramming function which allows modification of certain transmission control system values. Activation of this reprogramming capability requires the user to complete an Allison ATDT Service Training program to insure safe utilization of this function. The training requirement is identical to the requirement in place today to purchase the reprogramming PCMCIA card for the former diagnostic tool. Technicians who hold the appropriate training certificate today can use the same certificate as authorization to activate the reprogramming function of the ATDT. Technicians not currently certified, who wish to activate the reprogramming function of the ATDT, will be required to provide proof of completion of the ATDT Service Training Program (for course availability please contact your local Allison Transmission distributor training facility, or visit www.allisontransmission.com ). Purchasing information The Allison Transmission Diagnostic Tool, available on CD only, can be purchased through SPX/ Kent Moore using part number: J-44950 Allison Transmission Diagnostic Tool* *Note: When shipped, the ATDT is a Diagnostic Only tool. Users who wish to activate the embedded reprogramming function will be required to provide Kent-Moore with a copy of the approved training certificate, the serial number found on the CD, as well as the embedded key number found within the ATDT. Kent-Moore will then provide a one-time use password, which will activate the reprogramming function.
