VALVE GP-PILOT 1471790 - Caterpillar

The customer supplied throttle signal provides a 500 Hz pulse width modulated signal (PWM) to the engine's ECM. The signal is expressed as a percentage between 1 and 100 percent. The signal will produce a duty cycle of 5 to 10 percent at the low idle setting. The signal will produce a duty cycle of 90 to 95 percent at the high idle setting. The percent duty cycle is translated by the ECM into a throttle position of 0 to 100 percent.

Test Step 1. Inspect the Electrical Connectors and the Wiring
Turn the breaker for the ECM to the OFF position.
Thoroughly inspect the ECM connectors J1/P1 and J2/P2. Inspect all of the other connectors. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for the proper procedure for inspecting system wiring.
Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the ECM connector that are associated with the circuit.
Check the allen head screw for each of the ECM connectors for the proper torque. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for details.
Check the harness and the wiring for abrasion and for pinch points. Expected Result:All connectors, pins, and sockets are completely coupled and/or inserted. The harness and wiring are free of corrosion, of abrasion, and of pinch points.Results:
OK - The connectors and wiring appear to be OK. Proceed to Test Step 2.
Not OK - There is a problem in the connectors and/or wiring.Repair: Repair the connectors or wiring and/or replace the connectors or wiring. Ensure that all of the seals are properly in place and ensure that the connectors are completely coupled.STOPTest Step 2. Check the Throttle Signal at Connector G on the Remote Junction Box
Remove the wire for the throttle from terminal 29 on connector G in the remote junction box.
Connect a multimeter between the wire that was removed in the previous test step and engine ground.
Set the multimeter to "VDC". Press the "Hz" button
