SOCKET-SENSOR 1363124 - Caterpillar

Before testing the ether injection system, remove the ether canister from the system.Use this procedure in order to troubleshoot the ether system or use this procedure if a diagnostic code in Table 1 is active or logged.
Table 1
Diagnostic Trouble Codes for Ether Injection
J1939 Code CDL Code Code Description
(code descriptions may vary) Comments
626-5 2417-5 Ether Injection Control Solenoid : Current Below Normal The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects the following conditions:
A low current condition in the output from the ECM to the solenoid for ether injection
The ECM has been powered for at least 2 seconds.
If equipped, the warning lamp will come on. The ECM will log the diagnostic code.
626-6 2417-6 Ether Injection Control Solenoid : Current Above Normal The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects the following conditions:
A high current condition in the output from the ECM to the solenoid for ether injection
The ECM has been powered for at least 2 seconds.
If equipped, the warning lamp will come on. The ECM will log the diagnostic code. If there is an active engine shutdown, the ether injection system is disabled .Activation of the ether starting aid is based from a map using the coolant temperature, intake manifold temperature, and atmospheric pressure. Refer to Illustration 1.
Illustration 1 g02445796The following conditions must be met for the ether injection system to be enabled:
Ether injection is set to enabled in the ECM parameters
Engine coolant temperature is less than the "Start Aid Selection Temperature - Coolant". Refer to Illustration 1.
Intake manifold temperature is less than the "Start Aid Selection Temperature - IMAT."
Coolant temperature and intake manifold air temperature are within 11° C of each other.During the following procedure, refer to the electrical schematic for the application.Complete the procedure in the order in which the steps are listed.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Inspect Electrical Connectors and Wiring
A. Remove the electrical power from the ECM.
B. Thoroughly inspect the ECM connector J1/P1. Inspect all of the other connectors for the circuit. Refer to the diagnostic functional test Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".
C. Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the ECM connector that are associated with the circuit.
D. Check the ECM connector (allen head screw) for the correct torque of 6 N m (53 lb in).
E. Check the harness and the wiring for abrasion and for pinch points.
Loose connection or damaged wire
Result: The harness and wiring are OK.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: There is a fault in a connector or the wiring.
Repair: Repair any faulty connectors or replace the wiring harness. Ensure that all of the seals are properly in place and ensure that the connectors are correctly coupled. Proceed to Test Step 7.
2. Check for Active or Logged Diagnostic Codes
The ether canister must be removed prior to performing this procedure.
A. Verify that the keyswitch is in the OFF position.
B. Remove the ether canister.
C. Connect the electronic service tool to the diagnostic connector.
D. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
E. Check for active or logged diagnostic codes that relate to the ether
