Cat Data Link SchematicThe CID 0296 is associated with the Power Train ECM. An FMI 02 means that the Advisor has dropped off the Cat Data Link 10 times, within 10 minutes, for over 5 seconds each time. The diagnostic code is active until communication is reliable for more than 10 minutes.System Response:This failure results in events that are logged against the Advisor module that cannot be explained. The Power Train ECM cannot communicate with the Advisor module or the Advisor module appears to work intermittently.Test Step 1. VERIFY THE HARDWARE AND THE SOFTWARE PART NUMBERS.
Verify that the following information is correct:
The part number of the "Power Train onboard flash software"
The part number of the "Advisor module flash software"
The part number of the "Power Train ECM"
The part number of the "Advisor module" Note: Consult the Business Unit that produces the product for the correct part numbers of the configuration software.Expected Result:All part numbers are correct.Results:
YES - All part numbers are correct. Proceed to test step 2.
NO - All part numbers are NOT correct.Repair: Exit this procedure and perform this procedure again. If the cause of the diagnostic code is not found, contact the Technical Communicator at your dealership for a possible consultation with Caterpillar. This consultation may greatly reduce repair time. If the Advisor module requires replacement, refer to the Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Replace"STOPTest Step 2. INSPECT THE HARNESS CONNECTIONS.
Turn the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
Inspect all harness connections that are related to the Cat Data Link. Make sure that the connectors are clean and tight.
Check the connectors for proper mating. Ensure that all the seals are present and in place.
Check the harness for signs of damage or abrasion.
Check the wires at the connector. Ensure that the wires are secured tightly into the connector. Take care not to pull the wire out of the connector.
Check the exposed wires at the connectors for nicks or signs of abrasion.
Check for moisture inside the connector.
Check the connectors for dirty contacts or corroded contacts.
Check each pin and each socket of the machine harness connectors. Ensure that the contacts are properly installed. The contacts should mate correctly when the two pieces of the connector are placed together.Expected Result:The machine harness connectors are tight and free of corrosion.Results:
YES - The machine harness connectors are tight and free of corrosion. Proceed to test step 3.
NO - The machine harness connectors are in need of repair.Repair: Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.STOPTest Step 3. CHECK FOR SHORTS TO GROUND
The disconnect switch remains in the OFF position.
Disconnect the machine harness from all electronic control modules that use the Cat Data Link.
At the machine harness for the Advisor module, measure the resistance between frame ground and connector contacts 8 (wire 893-GN) and 9 (wire 892-BR) of the circuit for the Cat Data Link.Expected Result:The resistance is greater than 5000 ohms.Results:
YES - The resistance is greater than 5000 ohms. The harness circuit resistance is correct. Proceed to test
