TAC Data Collection

If an update is available, either from the server or your hard drive, the CHECK FOR UPDATE button changes to APPLY UPDATE. If your Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool is up-to-date, a message displays indicating you do not need to update. If the update server is not available and an update is not stored on your PC hard drive, a message displays providing the reason for an update not being available.

Applying An Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool Update

Click the APPLY UPDATE button—the Update Processing window displays. The latest version of Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool is loaded, either from the update server or from your PC hard drive.

NOTE: If the tool is unable to penetrate the user’s Internet firewall, click on the displayed URL and download the applicable update.

TAC Data Collection

This function shall only be used/enabled at the request of the Allison Transmission Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to collect WTEC II/III transmission data. The TAC Data Collection tab is only accessible after the TCM/ECU Reprogramming section is enabled.

2. After determining that you are required to use this feature in Allison DOC™, an Allison TAC representative will contact you to enable this section based upon the Authorization Key data. 3. Enter the password in the Password field.
