Connections of the "direction selector #1 position sensor #1"
This diagnostic code is associated with the "direction selector #1 position sensor #1" position sensor. This diagnostic code is recorded when the ECM reads the signal from the sensor and the ECM determines that the signal is erratic, intermittent, or incorrect.The possible causes of this diagnostic code are listed below:
Wire (M983-PU(Purple)) is shorted to the ground circuit while the machine is in operation.
Wire (M983-PU(Purple)) is shorted to the +battery.
An open circuit exists.
Sensor has failed.
The ECM has failed. The ECM failing 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. Ensure that the diagnostic code of CID 3375 FMI 02 is active before performing this procedure.Note: Use the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter for the measurements in this procedure.Note: Adjust the speed sensor before performing the following steps.Test Step 1. VERIFY THE VERSION OF THE SOFTWARENote: From SIS or the latest release of the CD for SIS, check for the latest software version and record the latest software version for the machine electronic controls.
Verify that the Transmission ECM is loaded with the latest version of the software.
Verify that the "Valve" ECM modules are loaded with the latest version of the software . Expected Result:All of the software is up-to-date.Results:
OK - All of the software is up-to-date. Proceed to Test Step 2.
NOT OK - There is a more recent release of the software that is available.Repair: Flash all controls with the latest software release. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Flash Program".STOPTest Step 2. CHECK THE HARNESS.
Turn the key start switch to the OFF position.
Inspect the harness.
Check for the proper mating.
Check the exposed wires for nicks and abrasions.
Check for moisture, dirt, or corrosion.
Check the pin/socket for a proper fit.
Disconnect the machine harness connectors from the Machine ECM.
At the machine harness connector, measure the resistance from connector contact 3 (wire M983-PU(Purple)) to J2-34 (wire M983-PU(Purple)) of the machine ECM. Expected Result:The resistance should be less than 5 ohms.Results:
OK - The resistance is less than 5 ohms. The machine harness is correct. Proceed to test step 3.
NOT OK - The resistance is greater than 5 ohms. There is an open in the machine harness. The open is between the modules for the signal (wire M983-PU(Purple)).Repair: Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.STOPTest Step 3. CHECK IF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE REMAINS.
Clean the contacts of the harness connectors.
Reconnect all harness connectors.
Observe the status of the diagnostic code.
Operate the machine.
Observe the status of the diagnostic code. Expected Result:The diagnostic code is NO longer active.Results:
YES - The diagnostic code is NO longer active. The diagnostic code does not exist at this time. The initial diagnostic code was probably caused by a poor electrical connection and/or a short at one of the harness connectors that was disconnected and then reconnected. Resume normal machine operation.STOP
NO - The diagnostic code has not been corrected. The
