Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Caterpillar products.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
Remove The Old Sensor
Note: When you replace the old sensor, first disconnect the connector to the speed sensor in order to identify the wires that go to each pin. The wire connections may not be obvious since the wires are potted. In order to reduce the chance for error, cut one wire at a time. Perform a continuity check between the cut wire that is connected to the old connector and the pin on the old connector. Insert one wire at a time into the new connector before going on to the next wire.
On the mating harness connector, identify the wire that is connected to pin A on the old sensor. Identify the wire that is connected to pin B on the old sensor. Identify the wire that is connected to pin C on the old sensor. Refer to Illustration 1. Record each wire color and each wire number.
Label each wire.
