Schematic of the Cat Data Link circuit | |
The purpose of the "Advisor" is to display pertinent machine information to the operator and service personnel, while acting as a monitoring system. This information includes, but is not limited to, the parameters of the machine, the system configuration of the machine, and details of the diagnostic events of the machine. The "Advisor" obtains this information over the "Cat Data Link".
This diagnostic code is associated with the "Advisor" module. The display will depend on the configuration of the machine.
Note: Refer to the electrical system schematic for your machine to verify the Cat Data Link connections.
This diagnostic code is recorded when the Brake ECM does not receive expected information from the Messenger for more than 5 seconds.
System Response:
This diagnostic code results in events that are logged against an ECM that cannot be explained directly. The Brake ECM cannot communicate with the Advisor module or the Brake ECM appears to communicate intermittently.
Test Step 1. VERIFY THE HARDWARE AND THE SOFTWARE PART NUMBERS.
- Verify that the following information is correct:
- The part number of the flash software for the "Advisor" module
- The part number of the "Advisor" module
- The part number of the flash software for the Brake ECM
- The part number of the Brake ECM
Note: Consult the Business Unit that produces the product for the correct part numbers of the flash software.
Expected Result:
All the part numbers are correct.
Results:
- OK - All the part numbers are correct. Proceed to Test Step 2.
- NOT OK - All the part numbers are NOT correct.
Repair: The ECM has the wrong part number or the incorrect software is installed. Replace the ECM with a module that has the correct part number. Flash the correct software. See the Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Flash Program" section of this manual.
STOP
Test 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. Ensure that all the seals are present and in place.
- Check the harness for signs of damage or abrasion.
- Check the wires at the connector. Ensure that the wires are secured tightly into the connector. Take care not to pull the wire out of the connector.
- Check the exposed wires at the connectors for nicks or signs of abrasion.
- Check for moisture inside the connector.
- Check the connectors for dirty contacts or corroded contacts.
- Check each pin and each socket of the machine harness connectors. Ensure that the contacts are properly installed. The contacts should mate correctly when the two pieces of the connector are placed together.
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 and/or the connector or replace the machine harness and/or the connector.
STOP
Test 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 Advisor, measure the resistance between contacts 8 (wire 893-GN(Green)) and 9 (wire 892-BR(Brown)) of the Cat Data Link and frame ground.
Expected Result:
The resistance is greater than 5000 Ohms.
Results:
- OK - The resistance is greater than 5000 Ohms. The harness circuit resistance is correct. Proceed to Test Step 4.
- NOT OK - The 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 or replace the machine harness.
STOP
Test Step 4. CHECK THE MACHINE HARNESS FOR A SHORT TO THE +BATTERY CIRCUIT.
- The disconnect switch remains in the OFF position.
- All related electronic control modules remain disconnected from the machine harness.
- At the machine harness connector for the Brake ECM, perform the checks that are listed here:
- Measure the resistance between the connector contact J1-10 (wire 893-GN(Green)) and all sources of +battery.
- Measure the resistance between connector contact J1-20 (wire 892-BR(Brown)) and all sources of +battery.
Expected Result:
The resistance is greater than 5000 Ohms.
Results:
- OK - The harness circuit resistance is correct. Proceed to Test Step 5.
- NOT OK - The resistance is less than 5000 Ohms. The machine harness has failed.
Repair: There is a short between the +battery circuit and the circuits of the Cat Data Link circuit in the machine harness. Repair or replace the machine harness.
STOP
Test Step 5. CHECK FOR OPEN HARNESS
- The disconnect switch remains in the OFF position.
- All related electronic control modules remain disconnected from the machine harness.
- Check the continuity of the Cat Data Link circuit in the machine harness:
- Measure the resistance between contact J1-10 (wire 893-GN(Green)) of the Brake ECM and the contact for wire 893-GN(Green) for the "Advisor" module. Wire 893-GN(Green) is connector contact 8 for the "Advisor".
- Measure the resistance between connector contact J1-20 (wire 892-BR(Brown)) of the Brake ECM and the contact for wire 892-BR(Brown) for the "Advisor" module. Wire 892-BR(Brown) is connector contact 9 for the "Advisor" module.
Expected Result:
The resistance measures less than 5 ohms.
Results:
- OK - The resistance is less than 5 ohms. The Cat Data Link circuit in the machine harness is correct. Proceed to Test Step 6.
- NOT OK - The resistance is greater than 5 ohms. The machine harness has failed.
Repair: The Cat Data Link circuit is open in the machine harness. Repair or replace the machine harness.
STOP
Test Step 6. CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC CODES FOR THE OTHER ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES.
- Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
- One at a time, reconnect the electronic control modules that use the Cat Data Link.
- Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
- After each of the electronic control modules has been reconnected, check the diagnostic codes that are logged against the electronic control module.
Expected Result:
Diagnostic codes are not present for the other electronic control modules in the event list.
Results:
- OK - Diagnostic codes are not present for the other electronic control modules.
Repair: The Brake ECM has failed. A failure of the ECM is unlikely. Exit this procedure. Perform this procedure again. If the failure is not found, check the +battery contacts and ground contacts of the ECM. If these contacts are correct, replace the ECM. A failure of the Brake ECM is unlikely. Exit this procedure and perform this procedure again. If the cause of the diagnostic code is not found, replace the ECM. Prior to replacing an ECM, always contact the Technical Communicator at your dealership for possible consultation with Caterpillar. This consultation may greatly reduce repair time. See Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Replace".
