HEAD AS 2615942 - Caterpillar

diagnostics for the power train electronic control module (ECM) can be accessed through the Caterpillar Monitoring System or the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET). Troubleshooting a system requires additional information from the machine's service manual. The additional manuals that may be required are listed below.Reference: For more information on the Caterpillar Monitoring System, refer to the Service Manual module Systems Operation, "Caterpillar Monitoring System" for the machine that is being serviced.Reference: For more detailed information on the Caterpillar Monitoring System, refer to the Service Manual module Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, SENR1394, "Caterpillar Monitoring System".Reference: For more information on troubleshooting with the Caterpillar Monitoring System, refer to the Service Manual module Testing and Adjusting, "Using Caterpillar Monitoring System to Determine Service Codes" for the machine that is being serviced.Reference: For more information on troubleshooting with the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET), refer to the Service Manual module Testing and Adjusting, "Using Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to Determine Service Codes" for the machine that is being serviced.Reference: For more information on the electrical system and components of a 950G Wheel Loader, 962G Wheel Loader and a IT62G Integrated Toolcarrier that is equipped with Conventional Steering, refer to the Service Manual module Schematic, SENR1393, "950G Wheel Loader, 962G Wheel Loader, and IT62G Integrated Toolcarrier Electrical System".Reference: For more information on the electrical system and components of a 950G Wheel Loader and a 962G Wheel Loader that is equipped with Command Control Steering, refer to the Service Manual module Schematic, RENR2140, "950G Wheel Loader and 962G Wheel Loader Electrical System".Reference: For more information on the operation of the machine, refer to the Service Manual module Operation and Maintenance Manual for the machine that is being serviced.Reference: For more information on the operation of the electrical components of the machine, refer to the appropriate Parts Manual for your machine.As a guide, a simplified system schematic is included at the end of this manual. For an accurate representation of the machine that is being diagnosed, refer to the electrical system schematic in the service manual for the machine that is being serviced.When the troubleshooting procedure instructs you to "REPAIR THE HARNESS", use the electrical system schematic for the machine that is being serviced to trace the circuit. Perform continuity checks at the harness connectors in order to locate harness failures. At the connectors of the components, always check the ground circuit. Less than five ohms of resistance is required between the ground contacts of the connector and the frame ground. Excessive ground resistance that is greater than five ohms can cause incorrect diagnosing of problems.During troubleshooting, inspect all connections before any component is replaced. If these connections are not clean and tight, permanent electrical problems or intermittent electrical problems can result. Check that the wires are pushed into the connectors completely. Make sure that the connections are tight before other tests are made.If wire insulation is punctured during troubleshooting, repair the damage. Seal the damaged wires with 8T-0065 RTV Silicone Sealant. Cover the sealant with
