Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the ECM connector that are associated with the circuit.
Check the allen head screw for each ECM connector for the proper torque. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Inspecting Electrical Connectors" for details.
Check the harness and the wiring for abrasion and for pinch points.Expected Result:All connectors, pins and sockets are completely coupled and inserted and the harness and wiring are free of corrosion, of abrasion, and of pinch points.Results:
OK - The harness and connectors appear to be OK. Proceed to Test Step 2.
Not OK - There is a problem with the connectors and/or wiring.Repair: Repair the connectors or wiring and/or replace the connectors or wiring. Ensure that all of the seals are properly in place and ensure that the connectors are completely coupled. Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.STOPTest Step 2. Check the Status of the Engine Fan Speed with Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET)
Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
Connect Cat ET to the service tool connector. Start Cat ET.
Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
Access the "Fan Override Test" under the "Diagnostics" menu.
Start the "Fan Override Test" on Cat ET. Set the fan speed to 800 rpm.
Use a 1U-6602 Photo-Tachometer to determine the actual speed of the fan.
Compare the engine fan speed that is reported by Cat ET to the actual engine fan speed that is reported by the photo-tachometer.
Deactivate the "Fan Override Test".Expected Result:The actual fan speed is within 50 rpm of the engine fan speed that is reported by Cat ET.Results:
OK - The engine fan speed is within the desired rpm range.Repair: The sensor is operating correctly. There may be an intermittent electrical problem in a connector or in the harness. If an intermittent problem is suspected, refer to Troubleshooting, "Inspecting Electrical Connectors".STOP
Not OK - The engine fan speed is not within the desired rpm range. Proceed to Test Step 3.Test Step 3. Check the Sensor Supply Voltage at the Connector for the Engine Cooling Fan Speed Sensor
Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
Disconnect the connector for the engine cooling fan speed sensor.
Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
Measure the sensor supply voltage on the harness side of the connector for the engine cooling fan speed sensor between terminal 5 (5 V supply) and terminal 2 (digital return).Expected Result:The voltage is 5.0 0.2 VDC.Results:
OK - The voltage is 5.0 0.2 VDC. The supply voltage is reaching the sensor connector. Proceed to
