Connect the electronic service tool to the diagnostic connector.
Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
Monitor the active diagnostic code screen on the electronic service tool. Check and record any active diagnostic codes or logged diagnostic codes. Note: Wait at least 30 seconds in order for the diagnostic codes to become active.Expected Result:One of the following diagnostic codes is active or logged:
168-0 Electrical System Voltage high
168-1 Electrical System Voltage low
168-2 Electrical System Voltage erratic, intermittent, or incorrect
1834-2 Ignition Keyswitch loss of signalNote: Diagnostic code 1834-2 can be generated by rapidly cycling the keyswitch. If diagnostic code 1834-2 is logged but not active, this may be the cause.Results:
OK - Diagnostic code 168-2 or diagnostic code 1834-02 is active or logged. Proceed to Test Step 2.
Not OK - No diagnostic code is active.Repair: The fault is no longer present. If the problem is intermittent, refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".STOPTest Step 2. Bypass the Machine Wiring
Batteries give off flammable fumes which can explode.To avoid injury or death, do not strike a match, cause a spark, or smoke in the vicinity of a battery.
Do not connect the bypass harness to the battery until all of the in-line fuses have been removed from the Battery+ line. If the fuses are not removed before connection to the battery, a spark may result.
Note: This bypass harness is only for test applications. This bypass harness must be removed before the machine is returned to service. The bypass harness can be used in order to determine if the cause of the intermittent problem is interruptions in battery power to the ECM or to the keyswitch circuit.

Schematic for the bypass application harness
Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
Disconnect P1 from the ECM connector.
Connect a bypass harness to the ECM.
Remove the fuse from the Battery+ wire of the bypass harness and connect the Battery+ and the Battery- wires directly to the battery terminals.
Install the in-line fuse in the Battery+ wire of the bypass harness. Note: This bypass directly connects the circuit for the keyswitch to the ECM. The ECM will remain powered until the connection to the unswitched battery+ line is disconnected. Remove the fuses from the in-line fuse holder to power down the ECM. Do not connect the bypass to the battery terminals or do not remove the bypass from the battery terminals without first removing the in-line fuse.
Connect the electronic service tool to the diagnostic connector and verify that communication can be established. Note: Remove the bypass harness and restore all wiring to the original condition after testing.Expected Result:Installing the bypass eliminates the fault.Note: The status of the "Ignition Keyswitch" will always indicate ON while the bypass harness is installed.Results:
OK - The symptoms disappear when the bypass harness is installed. Also, the symptoms return when the bypass harness is removed. The fault is in the machine wiring that supplies power to the ECM. Refer to the troubleshooting guide for the machine in order to investigate the fault.STOP
Not OK - Repair: Perform the following procedure:
Make sure that the latest flash file for the application is installed in the ECM. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Flash Programming".
Use the electronic service tool to check for active diagnostic codes.
If a diagnostic code is still active, contact the technical communicator at a Caterpillar dealer. Note: This consultation can greatly reduce the repair time.
If necessary, install a test ECM. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Replacing the ECM".
Use the electronic service tool to verify that the fault is eliminated.
If the fault is eliminated with the test ECM, reconnect the suspect ECM. Verify that the active diagnostic code returns.
If the active diagnostic code returns with the suspect ECM, replace the ECM. STOP
