Use this procedure under the following situation:
Use this procedure to determine if the clutch pedal position switch is preventing normal operation of cruise control, fast idle, idle set speed, or PTO operation:
The following switch circuits can also prevent the correct operation of the cruise control, idle set speed or PTO operation:
- service brake pedal position (switch 1)
- service brake pedal position (switch 2)
- neutral switch
- cruise control set/resume switch
- cruise control on/off switch
- PTO on/off switch
- cruise control pause switch
The switches are described in the respective circuit tests in Troubleshooting.
All of the following Customer Programmable Parameters can affect cruise control, fast idle, idle set speed, and PTO operation:
- "Low Cruise Control Speed Set Limit"
- "High Cruise Control Speed Set Limit"
- "Idle Vehicle Speed Limit"
- "Fast Idle RPM #1"
- "Fast Idle RPM #2"
- "Cruise/Idle/PTO Switch Configuration"
- "Idle/PTO Bump rpm"
- "Idle/PTO rpm Ramp Rate"
- "PTO Vehicle Speed Limit"
- "Cruise Pause Switch"
The vehicle speed calibration can also affect the cruise control, the idle set speed, and the PTO if the vehicle speed calibration is incorrectly programmed. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Customer Specified Parameters".
Clutch Switch
The clutch pedal position switch is normally closed when the pedal is released. Depressing the clutch pedal should open the circuit. This switch is OEM supplied. The clutch pedal position switch is typically a limit switch that is mounted near the pedal. The clutch pedal position switch is usually adjustable.
This switch may not be connected to an input on the ECM. The parameter "Clutch Pedal Position Switch" determines the input to the ECM. If the parameter is programmed to J1/P1:22 a switch must be connected to terminal 22. If the parameter is programmed to one of the J1939 options, the switch position will be transmitted to the ECM over the J1939 data link. If a problem is suspected with the J1939 data link, refer to Troubleshooting, "Powertrain Data Link Circuit - Test".
The following background information is related to this procedure:
The kickout switch refers to the switch that is used to exit the cruise control, the fast idle, the PTO, or the idle set speed.
The operation of the Caterpillar electronic engine cruise control is similar to the operation of the cruise controls that are installed in automobiles. The operation of fast idle, idle and PTO are similar to the operation of cruise except that the idle and the PTO govern engine rpm instead of vehicle speed.
Note: Idle in this procedure is an engine idle rpm above the programmed low idle rpm. Idle is set by using the cruise control on/off switch and the set/resume switch. Refer to Troubleshooting, "PTO Switch Circuit - Test" for additional information regarding the programmable options for the Dedicated PTO.
Note: Fast idle in this procedure is an engine idle rpm above the programmed low idle rpm. Fast idle is set by using a dedicated fast idle switch.
Cruise Control On/Off Switch
This switch must be on before cruise control or controlled idle can be activated. This switch is on when the switch is closed. When the switch is closed the following terminals are connected:
- ECM connector J1/P1 terminal 59 (cruise control on/off switch)
- Terminal 5 (AP sensor/switch sensor common)
Note: If the vehicle is programmed to use the "Dedicated PTO", the PTO on/off switch overrides the cruise control on/off switch. The PTO on/off switch overrides the cruise control on/off switch when the vehicle speed is within the range of the "PTO Vehicle Speed Limit" that is programmed.
Set/Resume Switch
With the cruise control on/off switch in the ON position and the vehicle speed within the range of the programmed "Low Cruise Control Speed Set Limit" and the "High Cruise Control Speed Set Limit", momentarily pressing the set switch will activate cruise control, and the ECM will maintain the current speed.
After a speed has been set and the speed is then disengaged by using the brake, the clutch, the cruise control pause switch, or the on/off switch, the ECM will seek the previous set speed when the resume switch is toggled. This assumes that the vehicle speed is above the "Low Cruise Control Speed Set Limit" for cruise control or the vehicle speed is below the "Idle/PTO Vehicle Speed Limit" for the idle and the PTO.
After a speed has been set, pressing and holding the set/resume switch in position will cause the engine to establish a new set speed. The system's reaction depends on the programming of the "Cruise/Idle/PTO Switch Configuration".
When the set/resume switch is momentarily pressed, the cruise set point will change one mph. The rate of change is dependent on the programmed "Idle/PTO Bump rpm" when the engine is setting on idle speed.
Cruise Control Pause Switch
The cruise control pause switch is not a switch that is wired to an input. The switch position is broadcast over a J1939 data link. The parameter "Cruise Pause Switch" must be programmed to use a cruise control pause switch. After a speed has been set and the speed is then disengaged by using the cruise control pause switch, the ECM will seek the previous set speed when the resume switch is toggled. This assumes that the vehicle speed is above the "Low Cruise Control Speed Set Limit" for cruise control or the vehicle speed is below the "Idle/PTO Vehicle Speed Limit" for the idle and the PTO.
Kickout Switches
The brake pedal position switches, the neutral switch, the cruise control pause switch, and the clutch pedal position switch are used in the cruise control mode, the PTO mode, the fast idle mode, and the idle mode to discontinue cruise operation, PTO operation, fast idle operation, or idle operation. The capability to override the idle shutdown timer is determined by the "Allow Idle Shutdown Override" parameter setting. The "Allow Idle Shutdown Override" is a Customer Parameter.
Usage of Transmission Style Switches
The "Transmission Style" parameter determines the switches that will be used. The following switches can be used.
- clutch pedal position
- neutral
- service brake pedal position (switch 1)
- service brake pedal position (switch 2)
Refer to Table 1 for additional information.
Setting For Transmission Style Parameter     | Switch Usage.     | |||
Service Brake Switch 1 | Service Brake Switch 2     | Clutch     | Neutral     | |
"Manual Option 1"     | X     |     | X     |     |
"Manual Option 2"     | X     | X     | X     |     |
"Automatic Option 1"     | X     |     |     |     |
"Automatic Option 2"     | X     | X     |     |     |
"Automatic Option 3"     | X     | X     |     | X     |
"Automatic Option 4"     | X     |     |     | X     |
"AT/MT/HT Option 1"     | X     |     |     |     |
"AT/MT/HT Option 2"     | X     | X     |     |     |
"AT/MT/HT Option 3"     | X     | X     |     | X     |
"AT/MT/HT Option 4"     | X     |     |     | X     |
"Universal Option"     | X     |     | X     | X     |
If the "Transmission Style" parameter is programmed to one of the following options, the input for the clutch pedal position switch is not used:
- "Automatic Options 1"
- "Automatic Option 2"
- "Automatic Option 3"
- "Automatic Option 4"
- "AT/MT/HT Option 1"
- "AT/MT/HT Option 2"
- "AT/MT/HT Option 3"
- "AT/MT/HT Option 4"
A service brake pedal position (switch 1) is required for all configurations. The service brake pedal position (switch 1) connects to the ECM through connector P1 terminal 45. The service brake pedal position (switch 2) connects to the ECM through connector P1 terminal 64. The clutch pedal position switch connects to the ECM through connector P1 terminal 22. The neutral switch connects to the ECM through connector P1 terminal 62.
Some engines that were built before JULY 1999 may have a Basic ECM. The Basic ECM was used only on General Motors chassis. Other chassis used engines that were built with a Full Feature ECM. Basic ECM software does not have the parameter for "Transmission Style". For these systems, a jumper wire must be installed between the clutch switch input and the sensor common when an automatic transmission is installed. When the jumper wire is installed, the "Clutch Switch" status will always indicate "OFF". Engines that were built after JULY 1999 use only one type of ECM that can be configured for "Basic" or "Full Feature" operation. A new parameter was added in order to provide this flexibility. The "Truck Manufacturer" parameter was added in order to allow the configuration of the "GM Basic" operation or the "Other Full Feature" operation. This parameter is programmed at Caterpillar when the engine is built. The parameter for "Transmission Style" is not available for engines that have software that is dated prior to SEP00 and the parameter for "Truck Manufacturer" is programmed to "GM". SEP00 and newer engines that are programmed to "GM" use the "Transmission Style" parameter. The factory default for the "GM" setting is the "Universal" option. The "Universal" option provides identical features as the "Basic" system that is described above. If the "Transmission Style" parameter is programmed to the "Universal" option, a jumper wire must be installed between the clutch switch input and the sensor common when an automatic transmission is installed. Otherwise, the "Transmission Style" parameter can be programmed to match the specific arrangement of the vehicle.
If the problem is with undetermined Cruise/Idle/PTO kickouts use the following procedure:
Operate the vehicle in Cruise/Idle/PTO mode.
After the kickout, review the status screen on an electronic service tool. The status screen for the parameter indicates the cause of the kickout. This must be performed before the ignition key switch is turned off. It is important to remember that the parameter will only indicate the last kickout since the ECM has been powered by the ignition key switch.
The following kickout status parameters are available:
- "Cruise Kickout"
- "Idle Kickout"
- "PTO Kickout"
- "Fast Idle Kickout"
This parameter is blank when the ECM is first powered up. If this parameter is blank, "No Occurrence" is indicated. This parameter remains blank until the ECM detects the use of the cruise/idle/PTO mode. Also, this parameter remains blank until the ECM detects the disengagement of the cruise/idle/PTO mode. Refer to Tables 2 and 3 in order to interpret the status screen kickout status parameter.
