PLUG 0L2288 - Caterpillar

Use this procedure to troubleshoot the data link if a problem is suspected with the data link. Also, use this procedure if one of the diagnostic codes in Table 1 is active or easily repeated.
Table 1
Diagnostic Codes Table
J1939 Code and Description Conditions which Generate this Code System Response
561-9 TCS/ASR Engine Control Active : Abnormal Update Rate All communications on the data link have been lost. The code is logged.
639-9 J1939 Network #1 : Abnormal Update Rate All communications on the data link have been lost. The code is logged. Use this procedure to troubleshoot the electrical system if a problem is suspected with the CAN data link or the Cat Data Link.Note: This procedure checks for an open or for a short in the data link circuits.If Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) will not communicate with the ECM, refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tool Does Not Communicate" before you begin this procedure. The procedure will verify that electrical power is being supplied to the ECM and to the service tool connector.The data links are used to communicate information between the engine ECM and other control modules that are a part of the application. Cat ET also communicates with the ECM via the data links.The service tool connector contains connections for electrical power and for the data links.When the keyswitch is in the OFF position, Cat ET may communicate with the ECM. However, the communications may be disrupted and the communications may require frequent reconnection. In order to avoid this problem, place the keyswitch in the ON position when Cat ET is being used.Cat ET may display the following error message:"The version of the ECM is not recognized and the integrity of the changed parameters and displayed data is not guaranteed."This message indicates one of the following conditions:
The flash file in the ECM is newer than the version of Cat ET.
The latest version of Cat ET has not been installed.
