Information that is shared between the master ECM and the slave ECM via the Cat Data LinkEach ECM and the ITSM communicate with CAT ET via the Cat Data Link. The Cat Data Link consists of two wires that are twisted together. One wire is designated as +. The other wire is designated as -. The signals on the data link wires are a square wave type signal. The signals operate at a very high frequency. The signals cannot be measured with common service tools. Therefore, only continuity measurements can be made on the wires for the Cat Data Link.The most likely cause of a diagnostic code for the Cat Data Link are an open circuit or a short circuit. Connector terminals that are not fully seated in the connector body can create an open circuit condition. Be careful not to interchange the + wire and the - wire in a connector. The Cat Data Link will not operate if the + wire and the - wire are interchanged in a connector.The Cat Data Link can fail if a module is not receiving power. This can happen if there is a problem with the wiring that provides power to the module.The Cat Data Link can fail if a module is programmed with the wrong flash file, or if a module has not been programmed with a flash file. Verify that all modules have been programmed with the proper flash file.Harness Code for the Slave ECMThe harness inside the terminal box has a jumper wire (harness code) that connects terminals J3-29 and J3-60. The ECM that is connected to the harness reads the harness code. This allows the ECM to operate as the slave ECM.If the jumper wire is disconnected, the slave ECM will assume the function of a master ECM. Cat ET will not communicate with any of the modules. Cat ET will display "Duplicate Type on data link. Unable to Service".

Schematic diagram of the Cat Data LinkTest Step 1. Inspect the Electrical Connectors and Wiring
Set the engine control to the OFF/RESET mode. Remove the electrical power from the engine.Note: For the following steps, refer to Troubleshooting, "Inspecting Electrical Connectors".

Front view (8) J18/P18 connectors for the harness to the terminal box for the master ECM
Thoroughly inspect each of the following connectors:
Master ECM J1/P1 connectors
J9, J5/P5, J8/P8 and J10/P10 connectors on the terminal box for the master ECM
J3/P3 connectors for the slave ECM
J11/P11 connectors on the terminal box for the slave ECM
J18/P18 connectors for the ITSM
Check the torque of the allen head screw for the ECM connectors. The proper torque is 6 1 N m (53 9 lb in).

Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires that are associated with the circuit for the Cat Data Link.
Check the harness and wiring for abrasion and for pinch points from the slave ECM to the master ECM.
Check the wiring harness from the P10 connector to the optional remote control panel.Expected Result:The connectors, pins, and sockets are connected properly. The connectors and the wiring do not have corrosion, abrasion, or pinch points.Results:
OK - The components are in good condition with proper connections. Proceed to Test Step 2.
Not OK - The components are not in good condition and/or at least one connection is improper.Repair: Perform the necessary repairs and/or replace parts, if necessary. Stop.Test Step 2. Check the Cat Data Link
Verify that the engine control is in the OFF/RESET mode. Verify that the electrical power is removed from the engine.
Connect Cat ET to the service tool connector. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools".
Set the engine control to the STOP mode. Restore the electrical power to the engine.
Select the "File/Select ECM" menu on the Cat ET. Verify that all of the modules are displayed on the "ECM Selector" screen.Verify that the following diagnostic codes are not activated.
0590-09 Unable to communicate with Engine ECM
1636-09 Loss of communication with Engine #2 (Slave)
1042-09 Unable to communicate with ITSMNote: If Cat ET displays "Duplicate Type on data link. Unable to Service", there may be a problem with the harness inside the terminal box for the slave ECM. Set the engine control to the OFF/RESET mode. Remove the electrical power from the engine. Check the continuity between terminals J3-29 and J3-60. Verify that the jumper wire is in good condition. Make repairs, as needed.Expected Result:All of the modules are displayed on the "ECM Selector" screen. There are no active diagnostic codes for the Cat Data Link.Results:
OK - All of the modules are displayed on the "ECM Selector" screen. There are no active diagnostic codes for the Cat Data Link. The problem seems to be resolved.Repair: If any of the above codes are logged and t
