Description    Conditions which Generate this Code    System Response    
22-13 "Engine Timing Calibration Not Performed"     A timing calibration is required for a new engine. A timing calibration is also required after a repair to the front gear train, the camshaft, or the crankshaft has been completed. The code may also become active after replacing an Electronic Control Module (ECM) that fails to communicate.     The code is logged.    
261-13 Engine Timing Calibration calibration required    
261-11 Engine Timing Offset fault     The wiring to the sensors may have the wrong polarity. There may be a mechanical problem with the front gear train.     The code is logged.    The ECM has the ability to compensate for mechanical differences between the Top Center (TC) of the flywheel and the TC of the timing gear on the camshaft.An "Engine Timing Calibration Not Performed" code is activated if a timing calibration is required.TC of the Flywheel - The ECM determines the TC of the flywheel via a signal from a magnetic transducer. The transducer is installed into the side of the engine block. The transducer creates a signal as a notch on a crankshaft counterweight rotates past the transducer.TC of the Timing Gear - The ECM determines the TC of the timing gear by signals from the engine speed/timing sensors.Any offset between the TC of the flywheel and the TC of the timing gear is stored into the memory of the ECM.Note: A timing calibration will not increase the available engine power.Table 2 lists the special tools that are required in order to perform this procedure.

170-3519     Harness (1)    
( 1 ) This item is not required if the engine harness has a connector for timing calibration.Test Step 1. Install the Transducer Adapter
Remove the electrical power from the ECM.
Use the appropriate engine turning tool to put either the No. 1 piston or the No. 6 piston at top center. Refer to the Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting.
Refer to Table 3. 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.

Refer to Table 4. Locate the engine's timing calibration port.Note: In certain applications, the engine uses the port as a return for the crankcase breather fumes. Detach the hose fitting in order to install the timing probe.

Remove the plug from the timing calibration port.
Thread the transducer adapter into the port. Results:Continue to the next test step.Test Step 2. Install the Transducer
If the crankshaft is not in the correct position when the transducer is installed, the transducer will be damaged when the engine is started.
Apply clean engine oil to a 2D-6392 O-Ring Seal . Install the O-ring seal on the end of the 6V-2197 Transducer .
Push the transducer through the transducer adapter until the transducer contacts the crankshaft counterweight.
Withdraw the transducer 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) and hand tighten the nut on the adapter sleeve in order to secure the transducer. Move the O-ring seal against the adapter.Results:Continue to the next test step.Test Step 3. Connect the 7X-1695 Cable As
If the engine harness is equipped with a connector for timing calibration, connect the 7X-1695 Cable As to the connector for timing calibration and to the transducer.
