Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check for Codes
A. Remove electrical power from the ECM.
B. Connect Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector.
C. Restore electrical power to the ECM.
D. Monitor the diagnostic codes on Cat ET. Check and record any diagnostic codes.
Note: Wait at least 30 seconds in order for the diagnostic codes to become active.
E. Determine if a diagnostic code has occurred several times.
Note: A diagnostic code that is logged several times is an indication of an intermittent problem. Most intermittent problems are the result of a poor connection between a socket and a pin in a connector or of a poor connection between a wire and a terminal.
F. Determine if the problem is active and related to one of the following diagnostic codes:
• -3
• -4
G. Remove electrical power from the ECM.
Codes
Result: A diagnostic code is not active.
Repair: The problem may be intermittent. If the problem is intermittent, refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".
STOP
Result: An active -3 diagnostic code is present.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: An active -4 diagnostic code is present.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
2. Check for Battery Voltage on the Signal Wire
A. Restore electrical power to the ECM.
B. Measure the voltage on the harness side of the sensor connector between pin 1 and engine ground for the suspect sensor.
C. Remove electrical power from the ECM.
Battery Voltage
Result: The signal voltage is less than battery voltage.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
Result: The signal voltage is equal to battery voltage.
Repair: There is a short circuit to battery voltage in the harness. Repair the wiring harness or replace the wiring harness.
STOP
3. Create a Short Circuit at the Connector for the Suspect Sensor
A. Disconnect the suspect sensor.
B. Fabricate a jumper wire that is long enough to create a test circuit across the harness side of the sensor connector. Crimp connector pins to each end of the jumper wire.
C. Install the jumper wire between terminal 1 (sensor signal) and terminal 2 (sensor return) at the sensor connector.
D. Restore electrical power to the ECM.
E. Access the "Active Diagnostic Code" screen on Cat ET. Check for an active -4 diagnostic code for the suspect sensor.
Note: Wait at least 30 seconds in order for the diagnostic codes to become active.
F. Remove electrical power from the ECM.
.
Short Circuit
Result: A -3 diagnostic code was active before creating the short at the sensor connector. A -4 diagnostic code became active after creating the short at the sensor connector. The wiring between the ECM and the sensor connector is OK.
Repair: Temporarily connect a new sensor to the harness, but do not install the new sensor in the engine. Verify that there are no active diagnostic codes for the sensor. If there are no active diagnostic codes
