GEAR (10 Teeth-Idler) 2P1079 - Caterpillar

Use this procedure to troubleshoot a problem with a sensor supply. Also, use this procedure if one of the following diagnostic codes is active or easily repeated.
Table 1
J1939 Code and Description CDL Code and Description Comments
3509-3
Sensor Supply Voltage 1 : Voltage Above Normal 262-3
5 Volt Sensor DC Power Supply : Voltage Above Normal All sensors are set to default values.
The code is logged.
3509-4
Sensor Supply Voltage 1 : Voltage Below Normal 262-4
5 Volt Sensor DC Power Supply : Voltage Below Normal All sensors are set to default values.
The code is logged.
3510-3
Sensor Supply Voltage 2 : Voltage Above Normal 2131-3
5 Volt Sensor DC Power Supply #2 : Voltage Above Normal Engine power may be derated.
The code is logged.
3510-4
Sensor Supply Voltage 2 : Voltage Below Normal 2131-4
5 Volt Sensor DC Power Supply #2 : Voltage Below Normal Engine power may be derated.
The code is logged. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) supplies a regulated voltage of 5.0 0.2 VDC to the sensors.The supply voltage for the sensors is routed from the ECM to terminal 1 of each sensor connector. The sensor return for the sensors is routed from the ECM to terminal 2 of each sensor connector. The ECM provides short circuit protection for the internal power supply. A short circuit to the battery will not damage the internal power supply.Note: The sensors are not protected from over voltage. A short from the supply line to the +Battery may damage the sensors. If any of the diagnostic codes are active, a sensor may have been damaged. Repair the sensor supply and check for any active sensor diagnostic codes to determine if a sensor has been damaged.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check for Codes
A. Connect Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector.
B. Determine if a code is active or logged.
Codes
Result: A -3 or -4 code is active. Note which ECM is reporting the active code.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: A -21 code is active.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
2. Check for a Failed Sensor
A. Connect Cat ET.
B. Disconnect a sensor on the affected sensor supply circuit.
C. Use Cat ET to monitor following:
- Active code changes to logged
D. Connect the affected sensor to the wiring harness.
E. Repeat Step B through Step D for each sensor on the affected sensor supply.
Sensor
Result: The affected sensor supply active code changed to a logged code when a sensor is unplugged.
Repair: Repair or replace the failed sensor.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
Result: The affected sensor supply active code remains active after all the sensors on the sensor supply circuit have been checked.
Repair: A failed wiring harness has been detected. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
3. Check the Sensor Supply
A. Unplug the sensor from the wiring harness.
B. Install the jumper wire between the
