GEAR & WEIGHT AS 1456103 - Caterpillar

System Operation Description:The ECM contains the logic and the outputs for starting the engine. The logic for starting the engine is customer programmable. The logic responds to inputs from the following components: engine control, emergency stop switch, remote start switch, data link and other inputs.Logged diagnostic codes provide a historical record. Before you begin this procedure, use the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to print the logged codes to a file.The most likely causes of the diagnostic code are a poor electrical connection or a problem in a wiring harness. The next likely cause is a problem with a starter motor magnetic switch. The least likely cause is a problem with the ECM.The troubleshooting procedure may generate additional diagnostic codes. Keep your mind on correcting the cause of the original diagnostic code. Clear the diagnostic codes after the problem is resolved.Electric StartThe ECM supplies +Battery voltage to two magnetic switches when the logic determines that it is necessary. Each magnetic switch provides +Battery voltage to a solenoid on an electric starting motor.The ECM removes the voltage when the crank terminate relay is energized. The voltage is also removed if the customer programmable "Overcrank Time" has expired.Air StartThe ECM supplies +Battery voltage to the air start relay when the logic determines that it is necessary. The ECM removes the voltage when the crank terminate relay is energized. The voltage is also removed if the customer programmable "Overcrank Time" has expired.If the engine is equipped with a prelubrication system, an air start may not occur until the prelubrication is complete. If there is a problem with the prelubrication system, the air start may not occur. There are no diagnostics for the prelubrication system. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Air Starting System (Starting with an Air Prelube Pump)".

(8) Connector for the air start relay Note: For the following steps, refer to Troubleshooting, "Inspecting Electrical Connectors".
Thoroughly inspect the following connectors and the wiring harnesses for the connectors:
J2/P2 connectors
J14/P14 connectors on the terminal box
Connectors for the air start relay (if equipped)
Connections for the starter motor magnetic switches (if equipped)
Check the torque of the allen head screw for the ECM connectors. The proper torque is 6 1 N m (55 9 lb in).
