In order to aid troubleshooting, overrides are provided via Cat ET.
Overrides allow the technician to turn the circuit on and off at will.
Refer to table 2 for the appropriate override for the code.

Test Step 1. Determine the Diagnostic Code
- Establish communication between Cat ET and the ECM . Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools", if necessary.
- Download the "Warranty Report" from the ECM before performing any troubleshooting or clearing diagnostic trouble codes.
Wait at least 30 seconds in order for the diagnostic codes to become active.
- Look for these active codes or logged codes:
- -5
- -6
Results:
- A -5 diagnostic code is active. - Proceed to Test Step 2.
- A -6 diagnostic code is active. - Proceed to Test Step 3.
Test Step 2. Check the Wiring for an Open Circuit
- Verify that the harness connectors are free of debris, free of corrosion and securely connected.
- Disconnect the harness from the relay.
- Connect a jumper wire between the terminals of the harness connector for the suspect relay. The relay is replaced with a short circuit.
- Clear the -5 code.
- Activate the override for the suspect circuit. Refer to table 2 for the appropriate override for the code.
Results:
- A -5 code became active during the override. - The ECM did not detect the jumper wire. There is an open circuit in the wiring between the relay and the ECM connector. There may be a problem with a connector.
Repair: Repair the appropriate harness wiring or replace the appropriate harness.
Verify that the problem is resolved.
STOP
- A -6 code became active during the override. The ECM detected the jumper wire. There is a problem with the solenoid. -
Repair: Replace the relay.
Verify that the problem is resolved.
STOP
Test Step 3. Check the Wiring for a Short Circuit
- Verify that the harness connectors are free of debris, free of corrosion and securely connected.
- Disconnect the harness from the relay.
- Clear the -6 code.
- Activate the override for the suspect circuit. Refer to table 2 for the appropriate override for the code.
Results:
- A -6 code became active during the override. - The ECM did not detect the open circuit. There is a short circuit in the wiring between the relay and the ECM connector. There may be a problem with a connector.
Repair: Repair the appropriate harness wiring or replace the appropriate harness.
Verify that the problem is resolved.
STOP
- A -5 code became active during the override. - The ECM detected the open circuit. The wiring is OK. The solenoid has a short circuit.
Repair: Replace the relay.
Verify that the problem is resolved.
STOP
