CENTERSHIFT CYLINDER GROUP 8J6367 - Caterpillar

Operation Description:Switch circuits may have problems such as faulty wiring, faulty switches, or faulty connectors. Use the following diagnostic procedures in order to diagnose problems with these switch circuits and repair these switch circuits:
Maintenance clear switch
Remote engine stop switch
Slow vessel mode switch
Synchronize switch (No.1)
Synchronize switch (No.2)
Trip clear switch
Trolling mode switchThese switches are normally open or normally closed.

Typical switch inputs and wiringTest Step 1. Check the Electrical Connectors and the Wiring
Remove the electrical power from the Electronic Control Module (ECM).

Location of the connectors that are for the switch circuits (rear engine view) (1) J1/P1 ECM connectors (2) Customer connector
Thoroughly inspect connectors (1) and (2). Thoroughly inspect the connections for the suspect switch. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".

Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the circuit for the suspect switch.
Check the allen head screw on each ECM connector for the proper torque. Also, check the allen head screw on the customer connector for the proper torque. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for the correct torque values.
Check the harness and wiring for abrasions and for 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 abrasion and of pinch points.Results:
OK - The wiring and connectors appear to be OK. Proceed to Test Step 2.
Not OK - There is a problem with the wiring and/or a connector.Repair: Repair the wiring and/or the connector. Replace parts, if necessary. Ensure that all of the seals are properly connected. Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.STOPTest Step 2. Test the Switch for Proper Operation
Disconnect the P1 connector.
Refer to Table 1. Determine the P1 terminal for the suspect switch.
