Troubleshooting Test Steps  Value  Results 

1. Inspect Electrical Connectors and Wiring.

A. Turn the engine control switch to the OFF position.

B. Thoroughly inspect the J2/P2 connector, and the J8/P8 connector. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".

C. Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires that are associated with the inlet manifold pressure sensor.

D. Check the allen head screw on each ECM connector for the proper torque. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".

E. Check the harness for abrasions and for pinch points from the battery to the ECM.
 

Electrical connectors and wiring 

Result : The electrical connectors and wiring are OK.

Proceed to Test Step 2.

Result : The electrical connectors and wiring are NOT OK.

Repair : Repair the connectors or the harness and/or replace the connectors or the harness. Ensure that all of the seals are correctly in place and ensure that the connectors are coupled.

If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 2.
 

2. Check for Active Open or Short Diagnostic Codes.

A. Connect Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector.

B. Turn the engine control switch to the ON position.

C. Check for active diagnostic codes 102-03 or 102-04.
 

Diagnostic codes 

Result : There are no diagnostic codes.

Proceed to Test Step 3.

Result : Diagnostic codes 102-03 or 102-04 is present.

Repair : Refer to Troubleshooting, "Sensor Signal (Analog, Active) - Test.".

If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 3.
 

3. Calibrate the Boost Sensor.

A. Connect Cat ET to the Service Tool Connector.

B. Turn the engine control switch to the ON position.

C. Select the boost sensor calibration screen.

D. The calibration will take several seconds.
 

Boost sensor 

Result : The boost sensor is OK.

Proceed to Test Step 4.

Result : The boost sensor is NOT OK.

Proceed to Test Step 5.
 

4. Boost Pressure Sensor Test.

A. Remove the sensor from the engine.

B. Connect the FT-1906 Air Test Kit to the sensor.

C. Connect to the service tool connector.

D. Turn the engine control switch to the ON position.

E. Close the valve on the test kit and apply 100 kPa (14.5 psi) to the sensor.

F. Observe the display on Cat ET.

Note : The leakage rate should not exceed 20 kPa (3 psi) in 30 seconds.
 

Boost pressure sensor 

Result : The boost pressure sensor is OK.

Repair : e boost sensor is working properly. For an intermittent problem, refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".

Result : The boost pressure sensor is NOT OK.

Proceed to Test Step 5.
 

5. Check Supply Voltage at the Sensor.

A. Turn the engine control switch to the ON position.

B. Measure the voltage between P8-A and P8-B.

The voltage measures 5.0 ± 0.25 VDC.
 

Supply voltage 

Result : The supply voltage is OK.

Proceed to Test Step 7.

Result : The supply voltage is NOT OK.

Proceed to Test Step 6.
 

6. Check Supply Voltage at the ECM.

A. Turn the engine control switch to the ON position.

B. Measure the voltage between P2-17 and P2-10.

The voltage measures 5.0 ± 0.25 VDC.
 

Supply voltage 

Result : The supply voltage is OK.

Repair : The fault is in the wiring harness. Repair the harness or replace the harness.

Result : The supply voltage is NOT OK.

Repair : The fault is in the ECM. Replace the ECM.
 

7. Check Signal Voltage at the Sensor.

A. Turn the engine control switch to the ON position.

B. Measure the voltage between P8-C and P8-B.

The voltage measurement is between 0.4 VDC and 4.4 VDC.
 

Signal voltage 

Result : The signal voltage is OK.

Proceed to Test Step 8.

Result : The signal voltage is NOT OK.

Repair : Replace the sensor.

If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 8.
 

8. Check Signal Voltage at the ECM.

A. Turn the engine control switch to the ON position.

B. Measure the voltage between P2-30 and P2-10.

The voltage measurement is between 0.4 VDC and 4.4 VDC.
 

Signal voltage 

Result : The signal voltage is OK.

Replace : Replace the ECM.

Result : The signal voltage is NOT OK.

Repair : The fault is in the wiring harness. Repair the harness or replace the harness.
