FILM-INFORMATION 1309716 - Caterpillar

The Integrated Temperature Sensing Module (ITSM) contains no moving parts. Replacement of the ITSM can consume much time. Before you replace an ITSM, follow the troubleshooting procedures in this manual in order to be sure that replacement of the ITSM will correct the problem.Use the following guidelines to verify that the suspect ITSM is the cause of the problem:Install a test ITSM in place of the suspect ITSM. Transfer the software from the suspect ITSM to the test ITSM. Program all the parameters for the test ITSM in order to match the parameters of the suspect ITSM. The parameters must match. Refer to the following steps for details on programming the parameters.If the test ITSM resolves the problem, reconnect the suspect ITSM. Verify that the problem recurs. If the problem recurs, replace the suspect ITSM with the test ITSM.Note: The 141-1957 Electronic Control (ITSM) will not function properly with the Software, "190036601.fls". Do not use any subsequent version such as Software, "190036602.fls" and Software, "190036603.fls", etc. Do not flash this software into the 141-1957 Electronic Control.Use the following procedure to replace the ITSM:Note: If the parameters cannot be read from the suspect ITSM, the parameters must be obtained from records or from the factory.
Use the "Service/Copy Configuration/ECM Replacement" function of the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) in order to transfer the software from the suspect ITSM. You may also select the "Print" function in order to obtain a paper copy of the parameter settings.Note: Before you replace an ITSM, record all of the logged events.
Connect Cat ET with the communications adapter. Select "Service/Copy Configuration/ECM Replacement" from the drop-down menu. Cat ET will load the configuration parameters and the monitoring parameters from the ECM.
Select "Load from ECM" in the lower left corner of the screen. Select the suspect ITSM and select "OK". After the loading is complete, Cat ET will display this message: "The data has been successfully loaded from the ECM". Select "OK".
Select "File/Disconnect F8" from the drop-down menu. Note: Do not exit from Cat ET.
Replace the ITSM.
Set the engine control to the "OFF/RESET" mode.

Remove the 4 mounting nuts (4) and washers (5) from mounting flanges (6) of the ITSM. The ground strap must also be detached from one of the studs. Note: Rubber grommets for the ITSM are held in place on the mounting studs. The grommets help to reduce vibration. The grommets may fall when the ITSM is removed. Be sure not to lose the grommets.
Remove the ITSM from the engine.
Install the replacement ITSM.
