Diagnostic Trouble Code Procedure
Prior to beginning this procedure, inspect the harness connectors that are involved in this circuit. Poor connections can often be the cause of a problem in an electrical circuit. Verify that all connections in the circuit are clean, secure, and in good condition. If a problem with a connection is found, correct the problem and verify that the diagnostic code is active before performing a troubleshooting procedure.
- Identify the active FMI code associated with the components.
- Determine which code is present and use the list below to determine which procedure to follow.
- FMI 3 diagnostic code, proceed to Table 4.
- FMI 4 diagnostic code, proceed to Table 5.

Troubleshooting Test Steps | Values | Results |
1. Check The Supply Voltage A. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position. B. At the harness connector, insert the positive multimeter probe along the supply positive contact. Insert the negative multimeter probe along the supply return contact. C. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the ON position. D. Observe the voltage measurement. |
The voltage measurement is in the range of 8.0 ± 0.5 VDC. |
OK - The voltage measurement is in the range of 8.0 ± 0.5 VDC. Proceed to Test Step 4. NOT OK - The voltage measurement is greater than 8.0 ± 0.5 VDC. The power supply voltage is above normal. Proceed to Test Step 2. |
2. Check The ECM Power Supply At The ECM With The Circuit Disconnected A. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position. B. At the ECM harness connector, remove the power supply positive circuit from the connector body. C. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the ON position. D. At the connector, measure the supply voltage with the circuits disconnected. Insert the multimeter probes at the positive contact and at the return contact. E. Measure the voltage. |
The voltage measurement is in the range of 8.0 ± 0.5 VDC. |

3. Check For A Short A. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position. B. Disconnect the harness connector from the sensor and ECM. C. At the harness connector for the ECM, measure the resistance between the power supply positive contact and each of the individual circuit contacts on the harness connector. |

STOP NOT OK - Diagnostic trouble code has not been corrected. If the diagnostic code has not been corrected after performing the procedure a second time, the ECM may require replacement. Prior to replacing this component, always contact the Technical Communication at your dealership for possible consultation with Caterpillar. This consultation may greatly effect repair time. Follow the steps in Troubleshooting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Replace" if the ECM needs to be replaced. STOP |
