install the supplied male and
female spade connectors.
Install the male connector
on the transmission side of
the circuit and the female
connector on the PCM side
of the circuit. Connect the
orange and yellow wires from
the Smartlock harness to
the installed connectors. See
Figure 11.

12.

Route the red wire lead

of the Smartlock harness to
the Banks Brake actuator
control valve location.

13.

Disconnect the green

wire from the actuator control
valve and plug it into the
mating connector on the
Smartlock harness. Plug the
remaining connector on the
Smartlock harness into the
previously disconnected lead
on the Banks Brake actuator
control valve.

FuNCTIoNAL TESTING

Once the installation is
complete, a test drive should
be performed to ensure that
the Smartlock Trans Brake
is functioning properly. The
following procedure should be
used to verify that the torque
converter is locked when
the brake is active and that
it disengages at the proper
vehicle speed.

1.

Obtain a steady vehicle

speed in 3rd gear with
overdrive cancelled and the
torque converter locked on a
flat road where it is safe to
allow the vehicle to slow to
approximately 20 mph.

2.

While maintaining this

speed, turn the power switch
for the Banks Brake to the
“ON” position. Release the
accelerator pedal to activate
the exhaust brake and
SmartLock Trans Brake.

3.

Once the exhaust brake

is activated the torque
converter will remain locked
and engine RPM will begin
to decrease at the same rate
as vehicle speed decreases.
Allow the vehicle to slow to
approximately 30 mph.

4.

At a vehicle speed of

approximately 30 mph, the
Smartlock Trans Brake will
return control of the torque

converter to the factory
computer and it will unlock
causing the engine RPM to
decrease rapidly. This is an
indication that the Smartlock
Trans Brake is functioning
properly.

5.

Obtain a steady vehicle

speed in overdrive with the
torque converter locked on
a flat road where it is safe to
allow the vehicle to slow to
approximately 20 MPH.

6.

While maintaining this

speed, turn the switch for
the Banks Brake to the
“On” position. Release the
accelerator pedal to activate
the exhaust brake.

7.

Once the exhaust brake

is activated, the torque
converter will remain locked
and the engine rpm will begin
to decrease at the same rate
as vehicle speed decreases.
Activate the overdrive cancel
switch and ensure that the
vehicle downshifts to 3rd
gear. Apply light throttle
pressure to allow the torque
converter to re-lock. Release
the accelerator pedal and
ensure that the torque
converter remains locked until
approximately 30 MPH.

8.

Once this functional

testing is completed, the
Smartlock Trans Brake is
ready for service.
