SPRING 1838447 - Caterpillar

System Operation Description:This procedure checks for an open circuit or a short circuit in a Data Link. There are three data links associated with the OCP.
Accessory CAN Data Link
Primary CAN Data Link
Modbus RS-485 SCADA Data Link Refer to Systems Operation, "General Information" for details on each data link. Note: Use the wiring diagram for your particular genset in order to troubleshoot the Data Links.Test Step 1. INSPECT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS AND THE WIRING
Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
Thoroughly inspect the OCP connector, the service tool connector, and all other connectors in the circuit for the data link. Reference: Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for details.Expected Result:All connectors, pins, and sockets are completely inserted and coupled. The harness and wiring are free of corrosion, of abrasion, and of pinch points.Results:
OK - In order to troubleshoot the Modbus RS-485 SCADA Data Link, proceed to Test Step 2
OK - In order to troubleshoot the Primary CAN or the Accessory CAN Data Link, proceed to Test Step 4
Not OK - Repair: Repair the wiring or replace the wiring.STOPTest Step 2. CHECK FOR SHORTS IN THE MODBUS RS-485 SCADA DATA LINK HARNESS
Disconnect all connectors from the suspected data link.
Measure the resistance between (data link +) and data link -).
Measure the resistance between ( data link +) and chassis ground.
Measure the resistance between ( data link -) and chassis ground. Expected Result:The resistance is greater than 20,000 Ohms for each measurement.Results:
OK - Proceed to Test Step 5
Not OK - There is a short circuit in the harness or connectors.Repair: Repair the wiring or replace the wiring.Proceed to Test Step 5Test Step 3. CHECK THE RESISTANCE THROUGH THE MODBUS RS-485 SCADA DATA LINK HARNESS
Disconnect all connectors from the suspected data link.
Use a suitable piece of wire to short (Data Link +) and ( Data Link -) at the OCP.
Measure the resistance between (Data Link +) and (Data Link -) at all other connectors in the circuit for the data link. Expected Result:The resistance is less than 10 Ohms.Results:
OK - The Data Link is OK. Proceed to test step 5
Not OK - There is an open circuit or excessive resistance in the harness or connectors.Repair: Repair the wiring or replace the wiring.Proceed to Test Step 5Test Step 4. CHECK FOR SHORTS IN THE CAN DATA LINK HARNESS
Disconnect all connectors from the suspected data link.
Measure the resistance between (data link +) and data link -). Expected Result:The resistance is approximately 60 Ohms.Results:
OK - Proceed to Test Step 5.
Not OK - If the resistance is approximately 120 ohms, a termination resistor is missing. If the resistance is much greater than 120 ohms, both termination resistors are missing or there is an open data link circuit. if the resistance is much less than 60 ohms, there is a short circuitRepair: Repair the wiring or replace the wiring.Proceed to Test Step 5Test Step 5. CHECK IF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE REMAINS
Inspect the Data Link harness connectors and clean the contacts of the harness connectors.
Reconnect all Data Link harness
