TUBE AS 3293097 - Caterpillar

Use this procedure to troubleshoot the electrical system if a problem is suspected with a sensor supply. Use this procedure if any one of the diagnostic codes in Table 1 is active or easily repeated.Note: Some of the following codes may not be applicable for certain applications.
Table 1
Diagnostic Codes Table
CDL Code Code Description Comments
41-3 8 VDC Supply : Voltage Above Normal The code is logged.
41-4 8 VDC Supply : Voltage Below Normal The code is logged.
262-3 5 Volt Sensor DC Power Supply : Voltage Above Normal The code is logged.
All sensors are set to default values.
262-4 5 Volt Sensor DC Power Supply : Voltage Below Normal The code is logged.
All sensors are set to default values.
274-21 Atmospheric Pressure Sensor : Data Drifted Low The code is logged.
The 5 VDC supply to the sensor has been lost.
460-21 Fuel Pressure Sensor - After Fuel Filter : Data Drifted Low The code is logged.
The 5 VDC supply to the sensor has been lost.
1785-21 Intake Manifold Pressure Sensor : Data Drifted Low The code is logged.
The 5 VDC supply to the sensor has been lost.
2131-3 5 v Sensor DC Power Supply #2 : Voltage Above Normal The code is logged.
Engine power may be derated.
2131-4 5 v Sensor DC Power Supply #2 : Voltage Below Normal The code is logged.
Engine power may be derated. System OperationThe Electronic Control Module (ECM) supplies a regulated voltage of 5.0 0.2 VDC to the following sensors:
Engine oil pressure sensor
Barometric pressure sensor
Crankcase pressure sensor
Intake manifold pressure sensor
Fuel pressure sensor after the filter
Air inlet pressure sensorThe supply voltage for the sensors is routed from the ECM to terminal 1 of each sensor connector. The sensor return for the sensors is routed from the ECM to terminal 2 of each sensor connector. The ECM provides short circuit protection for the internal power supply. A short circuit to the battery will not damage the internal power supply.Note: The sensors are not protected from overvoltage. A short from the supply line to the +Battery may damage the sensors. If any of the diagnostic codes are active, a sensor may have been damaged. Repair the sensor supply and check for any active sensor diagnostic codes in order to determine if a sensor has been damaged.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check for Codes
A. Connect Cat ET to the service tool connector. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools", if necessary.
B. Determine if a diagnostic trouble code is present.
Codes
Result: A -3 or -4 code is present.
Repair: Inspect the wiring at each sensor. Look for broken wiring or problems with a connector. Make the necessary repairs.
STOP
Result: A
