Abstract
A diagnostic system is provided for detecting a fault condition in a transmission having a plurality of rotating components, a plurality of clutches, and a transmission control. The diagnostic system includes speed sensors producing speed and direction signals representative of the rotational velocity of the rotating components, a processor for calculating the relative rotational speed between two or more clutches and for indicating a fault condition in response to the relative rotational speed and a period of time.
