Illustration 1 g02160341
Schematic of the Cat Data Link CircuitThis failure results in codes that are logged against an ECM that is not communicating some expected information to the LH Operator ECM. The LH Operator ECM cannot communicate with the Monitoring System ECM or the ECM appears to work intermittently. System Response:Select display features may not function properly.Note: The LH Operator ECM is located under the LH Operator Platform.Test Step 1. VERIFY THE HARDWARE AND THE SOFTWARE PART NUMBERS.
Verify that the following information is correct:
The part number of the software for the LH Operator ECM
The part number of the Monitoring System ECM software
The part number of the LH Operator ECM
The part number of the Monitoring System ECMNote: Consult the Business Unit that produces the product for the correct part numbers of the configuration software. Expected Result:All part numbers are correct. Results:
OK - All part numbers are correct. Proceed to test step 2.
NOT OK - All part numbers are NOT correct. The part number of the LH Operator ECM may be incorrect. The part number of the Monitoring System ECM may be incorrect. The incorrect software for the ECM may also be installed. Repair: Replace the incorrect ECM with an ECM that has the correct part number. Flash the correct software and current software. See Troubleshooting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Flash Program".STOPTest Step 2. INSPECT THE HARNESS CONNECTIONS.
Turn the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
Inspect all harness connections that are related to the Cat Data Link. Make sure that the connectors are clean and tight.
Check the connectors for proper mating.
Check the wires at the connector.
Check each wire for nicks or signs of abrasion in the insulation.
Check for moisture at the connector.
Check the connectors for dirty contacts or corroded contacts.
Check each pin and each socket of the machine harness connectors. Expected Result:The machine harness connectors are tight and free of corrosion. Results:
OK - The machine harness connectors are tight and free of corrosion. Proceed to test step 3.
NOT OK - The machine harness connectors are in need of repair.Repair: Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness. STOPTest Step 3. CHECK FOR SHORTS TO GROUND.
The disconnect switch remains in the OFF position.
Disconnect the machine harness from all electronic control modules that use the Cat Data Link.
At the machine harness for the LH Operator ECM, measure the resistance between frame ground and connector contact J1-10 (wire 944-OR) of the Cat Data Link circuit.
At the machine harness for the LH Operator ECM, measure the resistance between frame ground and connector contact J1-20 (wire 945-BR) of the Cat Data Link circuit. Expected Result:The resistances are greater than 5000 ohms. Results:
OK - The resistances are greater than 5000 ohms. The harness circuit resistance is correct. Proceed to test step 4.
NOT OK - Any resistance is less than 5000 ohms. The machine harness has failed. Repair: There is a short between frame ground and the Cat Data Link circuit in the machine harness. Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness. STOPTest Step
