Remove the plug from the timing calibration port.
Thread the transducer adapter into the port.Continue to the next test step.
Install the Transducer.
If the crankshaft is not in the correct position when the transducer is installed, the transducer will be damaged when the engine is started.
Apply clean engine oil to a 2D-6392 O-Ring Seal. Install the O-ring seal on the end of the 6V-2197 Transducer.
Push the transducer through the transducer adapter until the transducer contacts the crankshaft counterweight.
Withdraw the transducer 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) and hand tighten the nut on the adapter sleeve to secure the transducer. Move the O-ring seal against the adapter.Continue to the next test step.
Connect the 7X-1695 Cable As.
If the engine harness is equipped with a connector for timing calibration, connect the 7X-1695 Cable As to the connector for timing calibration and to the transducer.
If the engine harness is not equipped with a connector for timing calibration, perform the following procedure:Disconnect the P2 connector from the ECM.Determine the number of terminals on the P2 connector.Refer to Table 5. Remove the sealing plugs from the appropriate terminals. Do not discard the sealing plugs. The sealing plugs may be reinstalled when the timing calibration is complete.

Yellow 23 36 Install the WH(White)wire of the 170-3519 Harness into the appropriate location.Install the YL(Yellow)wire of the 170-3519 Harness into the appropriate location. Disregard the pin-outs on the label of the harness.Note: Ensure that each wire is installed into the correct location. The timing calibration will not be successful if the wires are installed incorrectly.Connect the J2/P2 connectors. Tighten the allen head screw on the P2 connector to the appropriate torque. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for the correct torque value.Connect the 7X-1695 Cable As to the connector for timing calibration and to the transducer.Continue to the next test step.
Start the Engine and Check for Diagnostic Codes.
Connect Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools".
Start the engine and run the engine until the engine is at the normal operating temperature.
Check for active diagnostic codes. Wait at least 30 seconds in order for the codes to become active.The engine must not have any active diagnostic codes during the timing calibration except for a 261-13 Engine Timing Calibration required.
Calibrate the Timing.
Set the engine speed to 1100 50 rpm. The engine speed must be steady within this rpm range in order for the calibration to be successful.
After the engine has warmed up, access the "Timing Calibration" screen on the Cat ET. Access the following display screens in order:
