RING-BACKUP 3292589 - Caterpillar

This diagnostic code is associated with the Position Sensor (Torque Converter Pedal). The FMI 01 means that the ECM has determined that the signal of the sensor is below the normal range.The output frequency of the position sensor is approximately 5000 hertz. The possible causes of this failure are listed below:
The position sensor has failed.
The sensor needs to be calibrated.
The ECM has failed. This is unlikely.Note: The following test procedure may create other diagnostic codes. Ignore these created diagnostic codes and clear the diagnostic codes when the original diagnostic code has been corrected.Note: Use the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter for the measurements in this procedure.System Response:When this diagnostic code occurs, the torque converter pedal will not affect the modulation of the impeller clutch. The lockup clutch may not function. Reduced rimpull is not available.Test Step 1. INSPECT THE SENSOR
Perform a visual inspection of the sensor, the wiring for the sensor and the hardware that is associated with the sensor. Expected Result:There is no apparent damage to the sensor, the wiring for the sensor or the hardware that is associated with the sensor.Results:
OK - There is no apparent damage to the sensor, the wiring for the sensor or the hardware that is associated with the sensor. Proceed to Test Step 2.
NOT OK - There is apparent damage to the sensor, the wiring for the sensor or the hardware that is associated with the sensor. Repair: Replace the damaged part.Proceed to Test Step 8.Test Step 2. CHECK FOR POWER AT THE SENSOR
Do not disconnect the harness connector from the sensor.
At the back of the harness connector for the sensor, insert a 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe along the voltage supply wire (contact A).
Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the ON position.
Measure the voltage from contact A to frame ground. Expected Result:The voltage is +24 volts.Results:
OK - The voltage is 24 volts. Proceed to Test Step 3.
NOT OK - The voltage is not 24 volts. The circuit is open. Repair: Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.STOPTest Step 3. CHECK FOR PROPER GROUND AT THE SENSOR
The machine harness remains connected to the sensor.
Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
Remove the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe from the voltage supply wire (contact A).
At the back of the harness connector for the sensor, insert a 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe along the ground wire (contact B).
Measure the resistance from contact B to frame ground. Expected Result:The resistance is less than 5 ohms.Results:
OK - The resistance is less than 5 ohms. The ground circuit is correct. Proceed to Test Step 4.
NOT OK - The resistance is greater than 5 ohms. The ground circuit in the machine harness has failed.Repair: Replace the machine harness or repair the machine harness.STOPTest Step 4. CHECK THE SIGNAL OF THE SENSOR
Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
At the back of the harness connector for the sensor, remove the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe from contact
