M2 Series Data Link Communication SystemThe Implement ECM uses three different data links for communication. One data link is used for communication between each Implement ECM. The other data link is for communication with the other ECM that are on the machine. The systems of data links also allow communication with service tools. In addition, a dedicated data link is present between the first Implement ECM and the Accugrade ARO connector.The data link is bidirectional. Each Implement ECM can send and receive information. The data link is not a visible component. The data link consists of internal ECM circuits, the related harness wiring, and the harness connectors.The Implement ECM communicate over the two data links that are present on the machine. The two types of systems are listed below.Cat Data Link - The Cat Data Link is used to send information about the status of the system between control modules and the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET). All diagnostic codes of the implement system are activated by the Cat Data Link.SAE J1939 Data Link - The SAE J1939 Data Link is a high speed data link. The J1939 Data Link is used for high speed communication between the ECM and the control modules of other machine systems. In the event of a failure of the SAE J1939 Data Link, the Cat Data Link is used as a backup for operational communication.Data Link Diagnostics
The two primary links on the machine are monitored by the Implement ECM for abnormal internal circuit conditions and for external circuit conditions. The ECM will activate diagnostic codes for a specific control module and a circuit in the data link when an abnormal condition is detected.When the Implement ECM detects an abnormal condition in a circuit in the data link, the ECM will activate a "companion" diagnostic code along with the diagnostic code. for the involved control module in order to alert the technician to which data link system is involved. The companion diagnostic codes for the Implement ECM are listed below:CID 0247 - FMI 09 or FMI 14 - SAE J1939 Data LinkCID 0248 - FMI 09 or FMI 14 - Cat Data LinkAn example of how the companion codes are used by the Implement ECM for the data link circuits: The Implement ECM is communicating with the Transmission/Chassis ECM over the SAE J1939 Data Link circuit, however, some expected data is not being communicated. The Implement ECM will activate the CID 0296 FMI 14 diagnostic code (Special Instruction - not receiving expected information) for the Transmission/Chassis ECM. The Implement will also activate the CID 0247 - FMI 14 companion diagnostic code (SAE J1939 Data Link) in order to indicate which data link circuit is involved. The companion diagnostic code will clear when the primary diagnostic code is cleared.A CID 0247 or a CID 0248 companion diagnostic code will always be activated when any of the following module communication codes is activated by the Implement ECM.CID 0296 - Transmission/Chassis ECMCID 0297 - AWD ECMCID
