CABLE AS 1731705 - Caterpillar

System Operation Description:Use this procedure under the following situation:Use the following information in order to determine if the "Wait to Start Lamp" is operating incorrectly.The parameter "Wait To Start Lamp" can be programmed to "J1/P1:31", to "J1939", or to "None". When the parameter is programmed to "J1/P1:31" a lamp circuit can be connected to terminal 31 in order to indicate that the air inlet heater is on and the engine is not running.Electrical connection of lampsOne terminal of the lamp must be connected to battery voltage through the vehicle wiring. The other terminal is connected to the ECM at the vehicle harness connector J1/P1 at terminal 31.The ECM provides a path to ground in order to turn on the lamp.

Pin locations for ECM connector P1Test Step 1. Inspect Electrical Connectors and Wiring
Thoroughly inspect ECM vehicle harness connector J1/P1, the firewall bulkhead connector, or the wait to start lamp. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for details.
Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the ECM connector that are associated with the wait to start lamp.Refer to Illustration 2.
Check the ECM connector (allen head screw) for the proper torque of 6.0 N m (55 lb in).
Check the harness and wiring for abrasion and pinch points from the battery to the ECM.Expected Result:All connectors, pins and sockets are completely coupled and/or inserted and the harness and wiring are free of corrosion, of abrasions or of pinch points.Results:
OK - Proceed to Test Step 2.
Not OK - Repair: Repair the connectors or wiring and/or replace the connectors or wiring. Ensure that all of the seals are properly in place and ensure that the connectors are completely coupled.STOPTest Step 2. Check for Normal Operation of the "Wait to Start Lamp"
Connect Cat ET to the data link connector. Access the configuration screen and ensure that the "Wait to Start Lamp" parameter is programmed to "J1/P1:31".
Turn the ignition key switch to the OFF position for ten seconds. Turn the ignition key switch to the ON position.
The "Wait To Start Lamp" illuminates for approximately two seconds when the key switch is turned on. If conditions require the air inlet heater to turn on, the wait to start lamp remains illuminated until the air inlet heater turns off or the engine is started.Expected Result:The "Wait To Start Lamp" turns on and the "Wait To Start Lamp" turns off per the above description.Results:
Yes - The "Wait To Start Lamp" appears to operating correctly at this time.STOP
No - Proceed to Test Step 3.Test Step 3. Test the Circuit for the "Wait to Start Lamp"

Vehicle harness connector P1
Disconnect ECM vehicle harness connector J1/P1.
Fabricate a jumper wire 100 mm (4 inch) long. Crimp a Deutsch pin to both ends of the wire.
Insert the jumper into P1:31.
Connect the other end of the jumper wire to P1:65 (−battery).
Turn the ignition key switch to the ON position.
While the lamp is being watched, insert the jumper wire and
