      1. The shift lever has three connectors.

        • 8 Pin Connector

        • 6 Pin Connector

        • 4 Pin Connector

      1. Disconnect the 8 pin "C-C52" harness connector on the shifter. The 6 pin harness connector remains connected to the shifter 6 pin connector. The shifter 4 pin connector remains jumpered between pins 3 and 4.

      1. Refer to the schematic of the shifter and connect two jumper wires from the ECM connectors to frame ground in order to simulate each position of the shifter. Use the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe in order to make the connections. If a particular position is already suspect, begin with the wires for that position.

      1. Monitor the status of the shifter on the ET screen.

        Expected Result: As each combination of contacts are grounded, the ET screen displays the corresponding shifter position.

        Results:

        OK - As each combination of contacts are grounded, the ET screen displays the corresponding shifter position. The ECM and harness appear to be working correctly.

        Repair: Replace the shifter.

        STOP.

        NOT OK - One of the combination of contacts is incorrect. The wiring harness or the ECM is not working correctly. Proceed to Test Step 4.

    1. CHECK THE ECM.

      1. Open the machine service disconnect switch.

      1. Based on the information in table 2 remove the corresponding wires from the machine ECM harness connectors "C-C12" and "C-C13". Also use the shifter schematic for reference. After removing all of the wires shown in table 2, place DT sockets into the connectors and wire the sockets so they can be connected to frame ground individually. Be sure that the wires cannot accidentally touch frame ground.

      1. Close the machine service disconnect switch. Power up the machine with the key in the run position, and connect and start up the ET service tool.

      1. Select the powertrain ECM and go to status screen 4.

      1. Monitor the status of the shifter on the ET screen.

        Expected Result: As each combination of contacts are grounded, the ET screen displays the corresponding shifter position.

        Results:

        OK - As each combination of contacts are grounded, the ET screen displays the corresponding shifter position. The ECM is working properly. The wiring harness may have failed.

        Repair: Repair the wiring harness or replace the wiring harness.

        STOP.

        NOT OK - One of the combinations of contacts does not cause the proper status to be displayed. The ECM may have failed.

        Repair: Clean the contacts for the ECM harness connectors. It is unlikely that the ECM has failed. Exit this procedure and perform this entire procedure again. If the problem remains, replace the ECM. It is preferable to show that the new ECM corrects the problem and that the suspect ECM demonstrates the problem.

        STOP.
