DOWEL 6I0979 - Caterpillar

System Operation Description:Use this procedure to troubleshoot any suspect problems with the following indicator lamps:
Low oil pressure lamp
High coolant temperature lamp
Low coolant level lamp
Maintenance indicator lamp
Warning lamp
Diagnostic lamp
Overspeed lamp
Backup ECM ready lamp
Backup ECM active lampThe indicator lamps are activated by the Electronic Control Module (ECM) in order to inform the operator of various engine conditions. When the keyswitch is placed in the ON position, the diagnostic lamp and the warning lamp are illuminated by the ECM for a brief period. The ECM provides high side drivers and low side drivers for the lamp outputs.The following lamps utilize a low side driver for the lamp output at the ECM:
Low oil pressure lamp
High coolant temperature lamp
Low coolant level lamp
Overspeed lamp
Backup ECM ready lamp
Backup ECM active lampThe following lamps utilize a high side driver for the lamp output at the ECM:
Maintenance indicator lamp
Warning lamp
Diagnostic lamp The most likely cause of a problem with an indicator lamp is the bulb. The next most likely cause is a problem with a wire or with a connector. The least cause is a problem with the ECM.Note: An override feature is available in Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) for each of the lamp circuits. The override can be used to troubleshoot the lamp circuits.

Schematic for the engine's lamp circuitsNote: There are configuration parameters that are associated with the low coolant level lamp and the maintenance indicator lamp. Ensure that these parameters are configured correctly prior to troubleshooting the lamp circuits. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Configuration Parameters" for information that is related to the configuration of the lamp circuits.Test Step 1. Inspect the Electrical Connectors and the Wiring
Remove electrical power from the ECM.
