BELT-SERPENTINE 3590188 - Caterpillar

diagnostics for the electronic control module (ECM) can be accessed through the Caterpillar Monitoring System or Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET). To troubleshoot the electronic control system of the machine, additional information is required from the Service Manual of the machine. The following list contains some of the required support materials:
Systems Operation, UENR0794, "950H and 962H Wheel Loaders Power Train Operation"
Schematic, UENR2502, "950H and 962H Wheel Loader Hydraulic Schematic"
Schematic, UENR2503, "950H and 962H Wheel Loader Electrical Schematic"
Operation and Maintenance, SEBU8774, "950H and 962H Wheel Loader Operation and Maintenance Manual"
As a guide, a simplified system schematic is included at the end of this manual. For an accurate representation of the machine, refer to the electrical system schematic in the service manual for the machine that is being serviced.Refer to the electrical system schematic to trace the circuit when the troubleshooting procedure instructs you to "REPAIR THE HARNESS".Perform continuity checks at the harness connectors to locate harness failures.At the connectors of the components, always check the ground circuit. Less than 5 ohms of resistance is required between the ground contacts of the connector and the frame ground. Excessive ground resistance that is greater than 5 ohms can cause incorrect diagnosing of problems.During troubleshooting, inspect all connections before any component is replaced. If these connections are not clean and tight, permanent electrical problems or intermittent electrical problems may result. Check that the wires are pushed into the connectors completely. Make sure that the connections are tight before other tests are made.When you perform wiring harness tests, do not puncture the wire insulation. Use test leads such as the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe to troubleshoot the harness without damaging the wire insulation.If damaged wire insulation is found during troubleshooting, repair the damage. Seal the damaged wires with 8T-0065 RTV Silicone Sealant. Cover the sealant with two layers of 1P-0810 Tape .Failure of an electrical component can cause the failure of other components. Always attempt to correct the cause of an electrical system failure before you replace a component.When you are removing the machine harness from the power train ECM, use the single screw in the center of the harness connector.
