Probable Causes
Output transmission gear (OTG) oil leak

Stuck interaxle accumulator charge solenoid

Stuck interaxle diverter valve

Failed interaxle differential lock accumulator

Failed interaxle accumulator pressure sensor

Low Output Transmission Gear (OTG) hydraulic pressure

Orifice plug in the solenoid and relief valve is loose.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Results
1. Check for Codes
Result:A related diagnostic code is present.
A. Connect Cat® ET to the truck. Troubleshoot any related codes before continuing with this
procedure.
B. Determine how many E1258 events codes have occurred and when the last
event occurred. Result: E1258 code remains present.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
C. Check and address any related diagnostic codes.
Result: E1258 code does not return.
D. Clear the E1258 event and operate the truck in the same manner as when STOP
the event was triggered, to see if the event returns.

Result: No oil leakage in the OTG hydraulics.

Proceed to Test Step 3.
2. Inspect for Oil Leakage in OTG hydraulics.
Result: Oil leakage found in the OTG hydraulics.
Note: Check for internal leakage in the solenoid and relief valve due to the

If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 3.

3. Cycle the Key Switch

Result: E1258 code does not return.
Proceed to Test Step 4
Cycle power to the Chassis ECM by turning the key switch OFF and then ON

and the Interaxle Accumulator charge solenoid to operate again.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
Note: An active E1258 will make troubleshooting difficult.

Result: Interaxle accumulator pressure is low.

4. Monitor Interaxle Accumulator Pressure In Cat® ET
Proceed to Test Step 5.
A. Truck in "Park" and engine running at high idle
Result: Oil pressure is normal and E1258 is active.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
B. On Cat® ET status screen, select "Traction Control Solenoids" and monitor
Result: Interaxle accumulator pressure is normal and E1258 is

5. Check for a Stuck Interaxle Accumulator Charge Solenoid Result: Interaxle accumulator charge solenoid is OK.
Proceed to Test Step 6.
Check the operation of the 277-8863 Interaxle Accumulator Charge Solenoid
Valve. Result: A problem is found with the interaxle accumulator charge
solenoid. Perform any necessary repairs.
Make sure that the charge solenoid is "ON", when accumulator pressure drops Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, UENR0207, "Solenoid Valve

 Result: Approximately 45 seconds or more between charge
cycles indicates a good accumulator. (cycle times may be as
much as 2 to 3 minutes depending on conditions).
