HOSE AS 4Z9333 - Caterpillar

System Operation Description:Use this test if there are intermittent engine shutdowns or if a difficulty in starting is not accompanied by loss of electrical accessories. Engine shutdowns that are accompanied by a loss of other electrical accessories indicate a problem in the keyswitch. This does not indicate a problem in the wiring at the engine's Electronic Control Module (ECM). Verify that there are no problems with the starting system or the charging system before you use this test.Use this procedure to troubleshoot the electrical system if a problem is suspected with the power to the engine's ECM or if any one of the diagnostic codes or the event code in Table 1 is active or easily repeated.
Table 1
Diagnostic Codes Table    
Diagnostic Codes Table     Conditions which Generate this Code     System Response    
168-0 Electrical System Voltage high - most severe (3)     The ECM reads battery voltage that is above 16 VDC.     The code is logged.    
168-1 Electrical System Voltage low - most severe (3)     The ECM reads battery voltage that is below 9 VDC.    
168-2 Electrical System Voltage erratic, intermittent, or incorrect     While the engine is running, the battery voltage drops below 9 VDC intermittently, or the battery voltage drops below 9 VDC three times in a seven second period.    Unswitched battery voltage is supplied through the customer connector to the ECM at P1-48, P1-52, and P1-53. The negative battery is supplied to the ECM at P1-61, P1-63, and P1-65. The ECM receives the input from the keyswitch at P1-70 when the keyswitch is in the ON position or the START position. When the ECM detects battery voltage at this input, the ECM will power up. When battery voltage is removed from this input, the ECM will power down.

Remove the electrical power from the ECM.
Check for a tripped circuit breaker.

Location of the J1/P1 ECM connectors (typical engine view)
Thoroughly inspect the J1/P1 ECM connectors. Inspect the connections for the battery and the connections to the keyswitch. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for details.

Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires that are associated with the electrical power supply.
Check the allen head screw on each ECM connector for the proper torque. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for the correct torque values.
Check the harness and wiring for abrasions and for pinch points from the battery to the ECM. Also, check the harness and wiring for abrasions and for pinch points from the keyswitch to the ECM.Expected Result:All connectors, pins, and sockets are completely coupled and/or inserted, and the harness
