7417-5
Aftertreatment #1 DEF Control Module Circuit Breaker : Current Below Normal 
4700–5
Aftertreatment #1 DEF Control Module Circuit Breaker : Current Below Normal 
The AC circuit breaker on the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) dosing cabinet has an open circuit. 
7417-6
Aftertreatment #1 DEF Control Module Circuit Breaker : Current Above Normal 
4700–6
Aftertreatment #1 DEF Control Module Circuit Breaker : Current Above Normal 
The AC circuit breaker on the DEF dosing cabinet has a short circuit.

Troubleshooting Test Steps  Values  Results 

1. Check for Codes

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

B. Determine if a code is active or logged.
 

Codes
 

Result: A -5 code is active or logged.

Proceed to Test Step 2.

Result: A -6 code is active or logged.

Proceed to Test Step 3.
 

2. Check the Wiring for an Open Circuit

A. Turn the AC and DC breakers to the OFF position.

B. Disconnect the wiring from the AC circuit breaker connector.

C. Disconnect the J1 and J2 wiring harnesses from the Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) controller.

D. Measure the resistance between the following pins on each connector:

- Pin 11 (AC circuit breaker) and Pin J2-92 (SCR controller)
- Pin 12 (AC circuit breaker) and Pin J1-46 (SCR controller)
- Pin 14 (AC circuit breaker) and Pin J1-47 (SCR controller)
 

Open Circuit
 

Result: There were less than 10 ohms of resistance on each of the wires.

Repair: A failed AC circuit breaker has been detected. Replace the AC circuit breaker.

Verify that the repair eliminated the problem. Return to service.

Result: There were more than 10 ohms of resistance on one or more of the wires and a known good ground.

Repair: An open circuit has been detected. Repair or replace the wiring harness.

Verify that the repair eliminated the problem. Return to service.
 

3. Check the Wiring Harness for a Short Circuit to Ground

A. Turn the AC and DC breakers to the OFF position.

B. Disconnect the wiring from the AC circuit breaker connector.

C. Disconnect the J2 wiring harnesses from the SCR controller.

D. Measure the resistance between the following pins on AC circuit breaker and a known good ground:

- Pin 12 (AC circuit breaker) and Ground
- Pin 14 (AC circuit breaker) and Ground
 

Short Circuit
 

Result: There were more than 100 K ohms of resistance on each wire and a known good ground.

Proceed to Test Step 4.

Result: There were less than 100 K ohms of resistance on one or more wires and a known good ground.

Repair: A short circuit to ground has been detected. Repair or replace the wiring harness.

Verify that the repair eliminated the problem. Return to service.
 

4. Check the Wiring Harness for a Pin to Pin Short Circuit

A. Turn the AC and DC breakers to the OFF position.

B. Disconnect the wiring from the AC circuit breaker connector.

C. Disconnect the J2 wiring harnesses from the SCR controller.

D. Measure the resistance between the following pins on AC circuit breaker and all other pins in the SCR controller connector:

- Pin J1-46 (SCR controller) and All other J1 Pins (SCR controller connector)
- Pin J1-47 (SCR controller) and All other J1 Pins (SCR controller connector)
 

Short Circuit
 

Result: There are more than 100 K ohms of resistance on each wire and all other pins in the SCR controller J1 connector.

Repair: A failed AC circuit breaker has been detected. Replace the AC circuit breaker.

Verify that the repair eliminated the problem. Return to service.

Result: There are more than 100 K ohms of resistance on one or more of the wires and all other pins in the SCR controller J1 connector.

Repair: A short circuit to ground has been detected. Repair or replace the wiring harness.

Verify that the repair eliminated the problem. Return to service.
