PLATE-WEAR 3967028 - Caterpillar

Use this procedure to check if the mode selection switch operates correctly.The mode selection switch inputs provide the operator with the ability to select a maximum of four different modes of operation. Different modes of operation can be used giving the operator a means to select the most efficient method of completing the required work.Each mode has a single fuel limit map, a rated speed, and a matched fuel delivery. Each mode also has a specific droop value for throttle 1 and throttle 2.
Table 2
Mode Number Switch 2 Switch 1 Enabled
1 Open Open Y/N
2 Open Closed Y/N
3 Closed Open Y/N
4 Closed Closed Y/N If a fault occurs in the circuit for either of the switches, the mode of operation will be different to the mode that was selected. If the mode of operation is not enabled on the application, a 2882-2 diagnostic code will become active.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Inspect Electrical Connectors and Wiring
A. Turn the keyswitch OFF.
B. Thoroughly inspect the P1 connector. Thoroughly inspect the mode switch connectors, plugs, and interconnections on the harness. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for details.
C. Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the mode selector switch wires in the P1 connector.
D. Check the screw for the ECM connector for the correct torque of 6 N m (53 lb in).
E. Check the harness for abrasions and for pinch points from the mode section switches to the ECM.
Loose connection or damaged wire
Result: There is a fault in a connector or the wiring.
Repair: Repair any faulty connectors or replace the wiring harness. Ensure that all the seals are properly in place and ensure that the connectors are correctly coupled.
Use the electronic service tool to clear all logged diagnostic codes and verify that the repair eliminates the fault.
Result: All connectors, pins, and sockets are correctly coupled and/or inserted. The harness is free of corrosion, abrasion, and pinch points.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Check the Status of the Mode Selection Switch
A. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
B. Connect the electronic service tool to the diagnostic connector.
C. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
D. Monitor the status screen on the electronic service tool. Cycle the mode switch to the ON position and to the OFF position.
Switch status changes
Result: The switch status changes on the electronic service tool as the mode switches are cycled.
Use the electronic service tool to clear all logged diagnostic codes. Return the engine to service.
Result: The switch status does not change as the mode switches are cycled.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
3. Insert a Jumper at the Suspect Mode Switch
A. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
B. Disconnect the connector for the suspect mode selection switch.
C. Fabricate a jumper wire and install
