Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
Note: Test Step 1 applies to C15 and C18 engines only.
1. Check the Gear Train Timing
Note: The camshaft gear will be off a half tooth if the engine is timed when Cylinder # 6 is at Top Dead Center (TDC). The engine MUST be timed when Cylinder #1 is at TDC. This could be possible anytime you do not time the engine at the crank to idle gear mesh.
Note: Remove the rocker arms before rotating the engine to prevent piston/valve damage from occurring.
A. If the engine is at TDC for cylinder 6, remove cam idler gear (B) and rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees and repin the flywheel.
B. Install idler gear (B).
C. Check timing mark (A).
D. Rotate the engine by hand 360° to ensure that the engine rotates freely. If the engine does not rotate freely, the engine is not timed correctly. Remove the front housing and check all timing marks. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Gear Group (Front) - Time" for the correct procedure.
E. Connect to Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) and clear the DTC.
F. Start the engine.
Gear timing
Result: After starting the engine, the code is still present.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: After starting the engine, the code did not return.

2. Install the Transducer Adapter
A. Remove the electrical power from the ECM.
B. Use the appropriate engine turning tool to put either the No. 1 piston or the No. 6 piston at the top center. Refer to the Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting.
C. Refer to Table 4. After the top center position has been located, rotate the crankshaft for the number of degrees that is applicable to your engine model. Be sure to rotate the crankshaft in the direction of rotation that is specified in the Table.
D. Refer to Table 5. Locate the engines timing calibration port.
E. Remove any components from the timing calibration port.
F. Thread the transducer adapter into the port
Transducer adapter
Result: The transducer adapter was installed.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
3. Install the Transducer
Note: If the crankshaft is not in the correct position when the transducer is installed, the transducer will be damaged when the engine is started.
A. Apply clean engine
