Data Link Configuration Status - Test
The diagnostic code for the special instruction is logged in order to report the configuration status of the data link. The diagnostic code for the special instruction does not check the physical condition of the data link.
- The personality module code is incorrect.
- The configuration of parameter is invalid.
- Incorrect module or display on the data link
- Data link wiring is damaged.
Use this procedure in order to troubleshoot a diagnostic code for a special instruction. Use this procedure if one of the following diagnostic codes are active.
Note: Some of the following codes may not be applicable for certain applications.

Troubleshooting Test Steps     | Values     | Results     |
---|---|---|
1. Check for an Associated -9 Code A. Establish communication between the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) and the Electronic Control Module (ECM) for the engine. B. Download a "Warranty Report" from the engine ECM before performing any troubleshooting or clearing diagnostic trouble codes.     |
Associated Trouble code     |
Result: An associated -9 code is logged. Repair all associated -9 codes before continuing with this procedure. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Data Link - Test". If a -14 code is still present after resolving the -9 code, proceed to Test Step 2. Result: An associated -9 code is not logged. Proceed to Test Step 2.     |
2. Check the Personality Module Code for Compatibility with the Application A. Connect to Cat ET. B. Select the ECM connection that is related to the logged code. C. Check if the personality module code is valid for the application.     |
Compatible personality module     |
Result: The code is valid for the application. Proceed to Test Step 3. Result: The code is not valid for the application. Obtain the correct flash file and update the ECM. Reset all active codes and clear all logged codes. Return the unit to service.     |
3. Check the Configuration Parameters A. Check the configuration parameters in order to ensure that the parameters are programmed correctly. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Configuration Parameters". B. Select the ECM connection that is related to the logged code. C. Check if the personality module code is valid for the application.     |
Correct configuration parameters     |
Result: The configuration parameters are programmed correctly. Proceed to Test Step 4. Result: The configuration parameters are not programmed correctly. Program the parameters to function with the other modules on the data link. Reset all active codes and clear all logged codes. Return the unit to service.     |
4. Check for Compatibility with Any Other ECM on the Data Link A. Use the as shipped information found in SIS web TMI to determine if any other ECM or display on the data link are compatible. B. Select the ECM connection that is related to the logged code. C. Check if the personality module code is valid for the application.     |
Compatible ECM     |
Result: The ECMs are not compatible. Replace the incompatible ECM with the correct module. Reset all active codes and clear all logged codes. Return the unit to service.     |
