Can anyone help me? I'm missing the files APPANDCAL_UTILITY.FIL and ERASE_APP_UTILITY.FIL. Thank you...

• Type: LCT application program active
• Boot level: B08
• Program level: DF9
• Calibration compatibility: DF9
• Power off compatibility: DF1
• CIN: 1B002CD0016
• Software part number: 24231216RC
• Calibration part number: 93802218PL
• TCM part number: 29542725
• TCM/SW/Cal assy P/N: 93802288
• Hardware comp #: 000010
• VIN: 1GDJ7C1375F531884

• APPANDCALUTILITY.FIL — this is not listed in the bundle contents. However, APPANDCALG4G5SERVUTILITY.FIL is included. For an LCT controller, the standard APPANDCALUTILITY.FIL is the correct one to use, and it is listed in the package contents (check the root-level utility files).
• ERASEAPPUTILITY.FIL — this one is not included in the bundle. Only ERASEPOUDS_Utility.fil (in the Gen5 folder) is present, which is for a different generation/purpose.

Looking at your screenshot, here's what I can read from your TCM Info:

• Type: LCT application program active
• Boot level: B08
• Program level: DF9
• Calibration compatibility: DF9
• Power off compatibility: DF1
• CIN: 1B002CD0016
• Software part number: 24231216RC
• Calibration part number: 93802218PL
• TCM part number: 29542725
• TCM/SW/Cal assy P/N: 93802288
• Hardware comp #: 000010
• VIN: 1GDJ7C1375F531884

That VIN decodes to a 2005 GMC TopKick C7500 — so this is an LCT (Allison 1000) controller, which matches the "LCT application program active" header.

Regarding the calibration

The bundle includes an LCT folder with df9.s2 — that file directly matches your program level DF9. That's the calibration file you need for this TCM. If you haven't extracted it yet, check inside the LCT subfolder of the calibration pack.

Regarding the missing utility files

Both APPANDCALUTILITY.FIL and ERASEAPP_UTILITY.FIL should be present in the root of the calibration files pack. Specifically:

• APPANDCALUTILITY.FIL — this is not listed in the bundle contents. However, APPANDCALG4G5SERVUTILITY.FIL is included. For an LCT controller, the standard APPANDCALUTILITY.FIL is the correct one to use, and it is listed in the package contents (check the root-level utility files).
• ERASEAPPUTILITY.FIL — this one is not included in the bundle. Only ERASEPOUDS_Utility.fil (in the Gen5 folder) is present, which is for a different generation/purpose.

For your LCT/DF9 programming workflow, you should be able to use CALONLYUTILITY.FIL or APPANDCALUTILITY.FIL from the root files if you're just updating calibration. Double-check that you've fully extracted all archives — the root-level .FIL files are separate from the generation-specific subfolders.

About the errors in your screenshot

The "Error reading lookup file: codelist.txt" and "Error reading lookup file: status.txt" messages mean TRF can't find its reference text files for DTC descriptions and status codes. This is a TRF installation issue — make sure the codelist.txt and status.txt files are in the TRF program directory. If they're missing, reinstall from the TRF 6.3 setup archive.

Also note: P0732 = Gear 2 Incorrect Ratio, P0880 = TCM Power Input Signal — both show as inactive (N), so they're historical codes, not currently active.

What exactly are you trying to do — just recalibrate, or full reprogram the TCM? That will determine which utility files you actually need.

• Vehicle/TCM: confirm the TCM application family (your log shows LCT / Allison 1000, DF9) and provide the exact TCM part number (from the label/software header).
• What tool are you using (TRF/TSI/Allison DOC/FCA, etc.) and which interface (J2534, K-line/HS, native PC-CAN, etc.)?
• Do you have the flash/program folder for this TCM already (the .bin/.s2/.hex + the exact calibration set), or are you starting from scratch?

• For LCT controllers, the correct “appendcal” utility is typically named like APPANDCALUTILITY.FIL (some packs remove underscores).
• The “erase” utility should match the same generation/program level—so we must verify what erase utility exists in your extracted set (often it’s in a specific subfolder like LCT / Gen5 / DF9).

• Ứng dụng: Gen4 application program active (MY09+)
• Boot level: B47
• Program level: W09_1F5
• Calibration compatibility: C09_1F1
• TCM Type: A53 (MY09)
• TCM part number: 29545538
• Hardware comp #: 00001D
• Tool: Read/Write TCM v15.217 (Allison DOC / RW TCM)

• Thay cho APPANDCALUTILITY.FIL → dùng file VCPSLOWFULLPROGV02.FIL (có trong thư mục MY09 và root). File này thực hiện full program (app + cal) cho Gen4 MY09+.
• Thay cho ERASEAPPUTILITY.FIL → trong RW TCM v15.217, chức năng erase đã có sẵn trên thanh toolbar phía dưới (nút "erase" trong ảnh screenshot đầu tiên của bạn). Bạn không cần file FIL riêng để erase — RW TCM xử lý erase nội bộ khi bạn dùng "write prog+cal" hoặc nút "erase".

1. Đảm bảo nguồn xe ổn định (dùng bộ sạc ắc quy).
2. Trong RW TCM, nhấn "erase" trên toolbar để xóa flash hiện tại.
3. Sau khi erase xong, nhấn "write prog+cal".
4. Khi được hỏi chọn utility file → trỏ đến VCPSLOWFULLPROG_V02.FIL.
5. Khi được hỏi chọn program/calibration file → trỏ đến W091F5.bin (có trong thư mục MY09, file W11A590B381.bin cũng có nhưng đó là program level khác — bạn cần đúng W091F5 để match).

Lưu ý quan trọng

Cảm ơn bạn đã gửi ảnh, giờ tôi thấy rõ hơn rồi.

Tóm tắt thông tin TCM của bạn:

• Ứng dụng: Gen4 application program active (MY09+)
• Boot level: B47
• Program level: W09_1F5
• Calibration compatibility: C09_1F1
• TCM Type: A53 (MY09)
• TCM part number: 29545538
• Hardware comp #: 00001D
• Tool: Read/Write TCM v15.217 (Allison DOC / RW TCM)

Về 2 file bạn cần

Bạn đang dùng Read/Write TCM (RW TCM), không phải TRF. Đây là 2 tool khác nhau và chúng dùng utility FIL khác nhau.

Tin tốt: Trong gói calibration files đã có sẵn các file phù hợp cho Gen4 MY09+ của bạn:

• Thay cho APPANDCALUTILITY.FIL → dùng file VCPSLOWFULLPROGV02.FIL (có trong thư mục MY09 và root). File này thực hiện full program (app + cal) cho Gen4 MY09+.
• Thay cho ERASEAPPUTILITY.FIL → trong RW TCM v15.217, chức năng erase đã có sẵn trên thanh toolbar phía dưới (nút "erase" trong ảnh screenshot đầu tiên của bạn). Bạn không cần file FIL riêng để erase — RW TCM xử lý erase nội bộ khi bạn dùng "write prog+cal" hoặc nút "erase".

Quy trình flash cho TCM Gen4 MY09+ với RW TCM

1. Đảm bảo nguồn xe ổn định (dùng bộ sạc ắc quy).
2. Trong RW TCM, nhấn "erase" trên toolbar để xóa flash hiện tại.
3. Sau khi erase xong, nhấn "write prog+cal".
4. Khi được hỏi chọn utility file → trỏ đến VCPSLOWFULLPROG_V02.FIL.
5. Khi được hỏi chọn program/calibration file → trỏ đến W091F5.bin (có trong thư mục MY09, file W11A590B381.bin cũng có nhưng đó là program level khác — bạn cần đúng W091F5 để match).

Lưu ý quan trọng

Trong gói bundle, thư mục MY09 chỉ có W11A590B381.bin, không có W091F5.bin. Nếu bạn muốn flash lại đúng program level hiện tại (W091F5), bạn cần đọc (dump) flash hiện tại trước bằng nút "read cal" hoặc menu Dump để backup, hoặc tìm đúng file W09_1F5 từ nguồn khác.

Bạn có file W09_1F5.bin chưa, hay cần tìm file calibration phù hợp?
