Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Inspect the Electrical Connectors and the Wiring
A. Remove the electrical power from the ECM.
B. Thoroughly inspect connectors (1), (2), and (3). Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".
C. Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires that are associated with the Cat Data Link.
D. Check the allen head screw on each ECM connector for the proper torque. Also, check the allen head screw on the customer connector for the proper torque. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect", for the correct torque values.
Electrical Connectors and Wiring
Results: The harness and the connectors appear to be OK. Proceed to Test Step 2.
Results: The connectors and/or the wiring are not OK.
Repair: Repair the connectors and/or the wiring. Replace parts, if necessary. Ensure that all of the seals are properly in place and ensure that the connectors are coupled. Verify that the original problem is resolved.
STOP
2. Check for a Short Circuit
A. Disconnect the J1 connector.
B. Disconnect Cat ET from the service tool connector.
C. Measure the resistance between the points that are listed in Table 1. Be sure to wiggle the wires in the harnesses as you make each resistance measurement.
Short Circuit
Results: Each check of the resistance indicates an open circuit. Proceed to Test Step 3.
Results: At least one check of the resistance does not indicate an open circuit. There is a short circuit in the harness or in a connector.
Repair: Repair the connectors and/or the wiring. Replace parts, if necessary. Verify that the original problem is resolved.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
3. Check for an Open Circuit
A. Fabricate a jumper wire. Use the jumper wire in order to create a short circuit between terminals J63-D (Cat Data Link +) and J63-E (Cat Data Link −).
B. Measure the resistance between P1-8 (Cat Data Link +) and P1-9 (Cat Data Link −).
10 Ohms
Results: Each check of the resistance is less than ten Ohms.
Repair: Perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the J1/P1 connectors. Connect Cat ET to the service tool connector.
2. Check the Cat Data Link for proper operation. If the Data Link does not operate correctly, there may be a problem with the ECM.
Temporarily install a new ECM. Check the Cat Data Link again. If the new ECM solves the problem, install the original ECM and verify that the original problem returns. If the new ECM operates correctly and the original ECM does not operate correctly, replace the original ECM. Verify that the problem is resolved.
STOP
Results: At least one check of the resistance is greater than ten Ohms. There is an open circuit or excessive resistance in the harness. There may be a problem with a connector.
Repair: Repair the wiring and/or the connectors. Replace parts, if necessary. Verify that the original problem is resolved.
