This diagnostic code is recorded when the VIMS 3G Application ECM receives data from the VIMS 3G Main ECM at the wrong rate.System Response:This failure results in events that are logged against the VIMS 3G Main ECM that cannot be explained directly. The VIMS 3G Application ECM cannot communicate with the VIMS 3G Main ECM or the ECM appears to communicate intermittently.Test Step 1. VERIFY THE HARDWARE AND THE SOFTWARE PART NUMBERS.
Verify that the following information is correct:
The part number of the flash software for the VIMS 3G Main ECM
The part number of the flash software for the VIMS 3G Application ECM
The part number of the VIMS 3G Main ECM
The part number of the VIMS 3G Application ECMNote: 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:
OK - All part numbers are correct. Proceed to Test Step 2.
NOT OK - All part numbers are NOT correct. Repair: The installed VIMS 3G Main ECM or the VIMS 3G Application ECM has the wrong part number or the incorrect configuration software is installed. Replace the incorrect VIMS 3G Main ECM or the VIMS 3G Application ECM with an ECM that has the correct part number. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Replace". Flash the correct configuration software. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Flash Program".STOPTest Step 2. INSPECT THE HARNESS CONNECTIONS.
Turn the disconnect switch OFF.
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:
