Required Special Tools    
Part Number    Description    
6V-2197     Magnetic Transducer (Timing Calibration Probe)    
7X-1695     Cable (Timing Calibration)    
7X-1171     Transducer Adapter    
9S-9082     Engine Turning Tool    Test Step 1. Install the 7X-1171 Transducer Adapter
Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
Use the 9S-9082 Engine Turning Tool to put either the No. 1 piston or the No. 6 piston at top center. After the top center position has been located, rotate the engine in the opposite direction of the correct engine rotation for 60 degrees.Note: Normal engine rotation is counterclockwise as the engine is viewed from the flywheel end. Refer to Illustrations 1 and 2.
Remove the timing calibration plug from the cylinder block. C-12 EnginesIf the C-12 engines are viewed from the flywheel end of the engine, the timing calibration plug is located on the right side in the No. 2 cylinder rod pocket. Refer to Illustration 1. C-15 and C-16 EnginesIf the C-15 and C-16 engines are viewed from the flywheel end of the engine, the timing calibration plug is located on the left side in the No. 2 cylinder rod pocket. Refer to Illustration 2.
Install the 7X-1171 Transducer Adapter into the hole for the plug.Results:
OK - Proceed to Test Step 2.Test Step 2. Install the 6V-2197 Timing Calibration Probe on the Engine
If the crankshaft is not in the correct position when the 6V-2197 Timing Calibration Probe is installed, the probe will be damaged when the engine is started.
Put the 2D-6392 O-Ring Seal on the end of the timing calibration probe.Note: A small amount of clean engine oil will allow the seal to slide onto the sensor more easily.
Push the sensor through the adapter until the sensor comes in contact with the outermost portion of the crankshaft counterweight. Move the O-ring seal downward against the adapter.
Withdraw the sensor 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) and hand tighten the nut on the adapter sleeve in order to secure the magnetic pickup in place.
Connect the 6V-2197 Timing Calibration Probe to the 7X-1695 Cable .Results:
OK - Proceed to Test Step 3.Test Step 3. Start the Engine and Allow the Coolant to Reach Operating Temperature
Connect Cat ET to the service tool connector.
Start the engine and run at low idle until the engine has warmed up enough to exit cold mode operation. The status screen on Cat ET will display "COLD MODE" in the upper corner when cold mode operation exists. The engine will adjust idle speed from cold mode idle to the programmed low idle speed when cold mode operation is complete.
Check for active diagnostic codes. Use the procedures in this manual for troubleshooting. Repair any active diagnostic codes before you check the calibration. The engine must not have any diagnostic fault conditions that are present during the timing calibration except the following condition:
261-13 Engine Timing calibration requiredResults:
OK - Proceed to Test Step 4.Test Step 4. Connect the Cables for the Timing Calibration Probe
After the engine has warmed up, access the "Timing Calibration" screen on Cat ET. Access the following display screens in order:
"Service"
"Calibrations"
"Timing Calibration Screen"
Connect the 7X-1695 Cable to the P400 timing calibration connector that is located near the ECM.
Ensure that all of the following connections are made correctly:
Timing Calibration Probe
Cables for Cat ET and the communication adapterResults:
OK - Proceed to Test Step 5.Test Step 5. Calibrate the Speed/Timing Sensor
To calibrate the timing to the correct setting, set the engine speed to 1100 50 rpm and select "Continue". Wait until Cat ET indicates that the timing is "CALIBRATED".Note: If Cat ET displays "CALIBRATION UNSUCCESSFUL", the electronic injection timing has not been set. Recheck the tool installation and tool operation and try again to calibrate electronic injection timing. If the crankshaft and camshaft gears have been reassembled incorrectly, the engine will not calibrate.Expected Result:The timing calibration procedure was completed successfully.Results:
OK - The timing calibration procedure was completed successfully.Repair: Disconnect the timing calibration probe before you exit the "Timing Calibration" screen on Cat ET. Stop.
Not OK - Repair: Perform the following procedure:
Verify that the engine speed was stable during the testing ( 50 rpm). If the engine speed was unstable or the engine speed could not be controlled within 50 rpm because of mechanical factors or electrical factors, refer to Troubleshooting, "Engine Misfires, Runs Rough or Is Unstable".
If all of the problems have been corrected but the timing can not be calibrated, check the cable of the 6V-2197 Timing Calibration Probe and check the 6V-2197 Timing Calibration Probe in order to verify that the probe is not bent. Verify that the probe is installed correctly before restarting this procedure. Stop.
