Follow the troubleshooting procedure in order to identify the root cause of the fault. |
Note: The following conditions must exist before any of the above codes will become active:
- The ECM has been powered for at least 2 seconds.
- There are no active 168-X diagnostic codes.
The ECM will log the diagnostic code. If equipped, the warning light will come on.
This procedure covers open circuit diagnostic codes and short circuit diagnostic codes that are associated with the following sensors:
- Coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Fuel temperature sensor
- Air inlet temperature sensor
- ATAAC outlet temperature sensor
- NRS inlet temperature sensor
- Auxiliary (hydraulic oil) temperature sensor (if equipped)
- Aftertreatment ambient air temperature sensor (if equipped)
The following background information is related to this procedure:
The troubleshooting procedures for the diagnostic codes of each temperature sensor are identical. The temperature sensors have two terminals. The signal line is connected to each sensor connector terminal 1. Terminal 2 is the return line. The signal voltage from terminal 1 of each sensor is supplied to the appropriate terminal in the P2/J2 connector or the P1/J1 connector.
Pull-up Voltage
The ECM continuously outputs a pull-up voltage on the circuit for the sensor signal wire. The ECM uses this pull-up voltage in order to detect an open in the signal circuit. When the ECM detects a voltage above a threshold on the signal circuit, an open circuit diagnostic code (XXX-3) is generated for the sensor.
If the sensor is disconnected, pull-up voltage at the connector indicates that the wires are not open or shorted to ground. If the sensor is disconnected, the absence of pull-up voltage indicates an open in the signal wire or a short to ground. If the sensor is disconnected and the voltage is different from pull-up voltage, the signal wire is shorted to another wire in the harness.

1. Inspect Electrical Connectors and Wiring A. Thoroughly inspect the terminal connections on the ECM connectors and the engine temperature sensors. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect". B. Perform a C. Check the screw for the ECM connector for the correct torque of D. Check the harness for corrosion, abrasion, and pinch points from the engine temperature sensors to the ECM. |

Result: There is a fault in a connector or the wiring. Repair: Repair any faulty connectors or replace the wiring harness. Ensure that all of the seals are properly in place and ensure that the connectors are correctly coupled. Use the electronic service tool to clear all logged diagnostic codes and verify that the repair eliminates the fault. Result: All connectors, pins, and sockets are correctly coupled and/or inserted.

Result: An XXXX-4 diagnostic code was active before disconnecting the sensor. An XXXX-3 diagnostic code became active after disconnecting the sensor. The sensor is faulty. Repair: Temporarily connect a new sensor to the harness, but do not install the new sensor in the engine. Use the electronic service tool in order to verify that the repair eliminates the fault and then permanently install the new sensor.
