Troubleshooting Test Steps Expected Results Results
1. Inspect the Electrical Connectors and the Wiring
A. Remove electrical power from the ECM.
B. Thoroughly inspect connectors (1), (2), and (3). Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".
C. Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires that are associated with the Cat Data Link.
D. Check the allen head screw on each ECM connector for the proper torque. Also, check the allen head screw on the customer connector for the proper torque. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for the correct torque values.
All connectors, pins, and sockets are inserted and coupled completely. The harness and wiring are free of corrosion, of abrasion, and of pinch points.
Result: The harness and the connectors appear to be OK. Proceed to Test Step 2
Result: The connectors and/or the wiring are not OK.
Repair the connectors and/or the wiring. Replace parts, if necessary. Ensure that all of the seals are properly in place and ensure that the connectors are coupled completely. Verify that the original problem is resolved.

2. Check for a Short Circuit
A. Disconnect the P1 ECM connector.
B. Disconnect Cat ET from the service tool connector.
C. Measure the resistance between the points that are listed in Table 2. Be sure to wiggle the wires in the harnesses as you make each resistance measurement.
Each check of the resistance indicates an open circuit.
Result: Each check of the resistance indicates an open circuit. Proceed to Test Step 3.
Result: At least one check of the resistance does not indicate an open circuit. There is a short circuit in the harness or in a connector.
Repair the connectors and/or the wiring. Replace parts, if necessary. Verify that the original problem is resolved.
3. Check for an Open Circuit
A. Fabricate a jumper wire that is long enough to create a test circuit across two terminals at the service tool connector. Use the jumper wire in order to create a short circuit between terminals D (Cat Data Link +) and E (Cat Data Link −) on the service tool connector.
B. Measure the resistance between P1-8 (Cat Data Link +) and P1-9 (Cat Data Link −).
