Illustration 1 g02109900
Schematic of the Electrical System power supply to the Implement (Screed) ECMThis diagnostic code is recorded when the Implement (Screed) ECM reads the system voltage as being greater than 32 DCV.Note: The Implement (Screed) ECM is located under the Screed Platform.The possible causes of this diagnostic code are listed:
A charging system component has failed.
The wiring of the machine harness has failed.
The ECM has failed. This situation is unlikely.System Response:When this diagnostic code is active, the following occurs:
Components connected to controller will not log faults.Test Step 1. CHECK THE CHARGING SYSTEM.
Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
Place CID 0168 FMI 03 on hold.
View the status of the diagnostic code.Expected Result:The diagnostic code is NO longer active.Results:
YES - The diagnostic code is NO longer active. Proceed to test step 2.
NO - The diagnostic code remains active. Proceed to test step 3.Test Step 2. CHECK THE CHARGING SYSTEM AGAIN.
Start the engine.
Place CID 0168 FMI 03 on hold.
View the status of the diagnostic code.Expected Result:The diagnostic code is NO longer active.Results:
YES - The diagnostic code is NO longer active. Watch for a recurrence.STOP
NO - The diagnostic code is active. The charging system is charging at an excessive voltage. Repair: Check the charging system. See Special Instruction, REHS0354, "Charging System Troubleshooting" for more information.STOPTest Step 3. CHECK THE BATTERY VOLTAGE.
The engine should not be running.
At the battery, measure the voltage of the battery.Expected Result:The voltage should measure less than 32 DCV.Results:
YES - The voltage measures less than 32 DCV. The ECM must be recording this diagnostic code incorrectly. The ECM may have failed.Repair: Prior to replacing an ECM, always contact the Technical Communicator for your dealer for possible consultation with Caterpillar. This consultation may greatly reduce repair time. If the ECM requires replacement, refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Replace".STOP
NO - The voltage measurement is greater than 32 DCV. The charging system is charging at an excessive voltage.Repair: Check the charging system.STOP
