CDL Code Code Description Comments
190-8 Engine Speed Sensor : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period The signal from the primary engine speed/timing sensor is intermittent or the signal has been lost.
342-8 Secondary Engine Speed Sensor : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period The signal from the secondary engine speed/timing sensor is intermittent or the signal has been lost. The engine uses two engine speed/timing sensors. The primary engine speed/timing sensor detects the reference for engine speed and timing from a timing ring with a notched pattern that has been machined onto a portion of the crankshaft gear. The signal from the primary engine speed/timing sensor is also used by the ECM as a control reference during a timing calibration. The secondary engine speed/timing sensor detects the reference for engine speed and timing from a timing ring with a notched pattern that has been machined onto a portion of the camshaft gear.The Electronic Control Module (ECM) counts the time between pulses that is created by the sensor as each gear rotates in order to determine rpm. Timing is provided by the unique pattern of notches in the timing ring.Under normal operation, the secondary engine speed/timing sensor is used to determine timing for starting purposes. The secondary engine speed/timing sensor is used to determine when the piston in the No. 1 cylinder is at the top of the compression stroke. When the timing has been established, the primary engine speed/timing sensor is then used to determine engine speed.When the timing has been established, the ECM triggers each injector in the correct firing order at the correct time. The actual timing and duration of each injection is based on engine rpm and on load. If the engine is running and the signal from one sensor is lost, no change in engine performance will be noticed. If the engine is running and the signals from both sensors are lost, fuel injection will be terminated and the engine will be shut down by the ECM. The engine will start when only one sensor signal is present. The engine will not start if the signals from both sensors are lost.A timing offset is determined during each engine start-up. The value of the timing offset is stored in the electronic control module's non-volatile memory until the successful completion of the next engine start-up. If a failure mode for the crankshaft's engine speed/timing sensor is detected during engine start-up, the value of the timing offset that has been stored in memory will be used. This value will continue to be used for the engine's timing calibration until the diagnostic is resolved. A timing calibration cannot be performed manually on this engine.Both sensors are magnetic sensors. The two sensors are not interchangeable. If a sensor is replaced, a timing calibration is not necessary.Complete all of the following tasks when you install a speed/timing sensor:
Ensure that an O-ring is installed on the sensor. If the O-ring is damaged or missing, replace the O-ring.
Lubricate the O-ring with oil.
Ensure that the sensor is fully seated into the engine before tightening the bracket bolt.
Ensure that the electrical connector is latched.
Ensure that the harness is properly secured, and ensure that each tie-wrap is placed in the correct location.

Test Step 1. Check for Diagnostic Codes
Connect Cat ET to the service tool connector. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools".
Restore electrical power to the ECM.
Start the engine and run the engine until the engine is at the normal operating temperature. Note: If the engine will not start, monitor the engine rpm on Cat ET while the engine is being cranked. Cat ET may need to be powered from another battery while the engine is being cranked.
Look for these codes on Cat ET:
190-8
342-8Expected Result:One or both of the diagnostic codes that are listed above are logged or active.Note: If the engine will not start and Cat ET displayed 0 rpm during cranking, select "No Engine rpm".Results:
No Engine rpm - Engine rpm is not indicated on Cat ET. Proceed to Test Step 2.
190-8 or 342-8 code - There is an active diagnostic code or a logged diagnostic code for an engine speed/timing sensor. Proceed to Test Step 4.
No codes - Neither code is active or logged.Repair: Refer to the appropriate symptoms in Troubleshooting, "Troubleshooting Without a Diagnostic Code".STOPTest Step 2. Check the Installation of the Sensor Assembly
Remove electrical power from the ECM.

(1) Mounting flange
(2) Mounting surface
Visually inspect each sensor assembly without removing the sensor assembly from the engine. Ensure that flange (1) is installed squarely against surface (2).
Remove the suspect sensor assembly from the engine.

(3) O-ring
Ensure that one O-ring (3) is installed on the sensor. Check the O-ring for damage. Replace the O-ring, if necessary. Results:
OK - The sensor's components are OK.Repair: Perform the following procedure in order to properly install the sensor assembly:
Lubricate the O-ring with engine oil.
Fully seat the sensor assembly in the engine. Note: If the sensor assembly will not fully seat into the engine, replace the sensor assembly.
Tighten the bracket bolt.
Connect the sensor's electrical connectors. Verify that the connectors are latched on both sides.
Ensure that the harness is properly secured, and that the tie-wraps are placed in the correct location. Proceed to Test Step 3.
Not OK - At least one of the sensor assembly's components is not OK.Repair: Obtain a new sensor assembly. Perform the following procedure in order to properly install the sensor assembly:
Lubricate each O-ring with engine oil.
Fully seat the sensor assembly in the engine. Note: If the sensor assembly will not fully seat into the engine, replace the sensor assembly.
Tighten the bracket bolt.
Connect the sensor's electrical connectors. Verify that the connector is latched.
Ensure that the harness is properly secured, and that the tie-wraps are placed in the correct location. Verify that the problem is resolved.STOPTest Step 3. Inspect the Electrical Connectors and the Wiring
