Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check for Codes
A. Connect Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector.
B. Determine if a code is active or logged.
Codes
Result: A -3, -4, -20 or -21 code is active or logged.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: A -8 code is active or logged.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
2. Check the Engine ECM Programming
A. Engine ECM configuration programming for Generator Output Power Primary Input Minimum/Maximum Data Range parameters
Configuration Parameters:
- "Generator Out Power Primary Input Minimum Range"
- "Generator Out Power Primary Input Maximum Range"
Verify that parameter settings are correct for the generator output upper and lower limits.
Parameters
Result: The ECM programming for Generator Output Power is set to the correct values.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
Result: The ECM programming for Generator Output Power is not set to the correct values.
Repair: Program parameters to align with generator output min/max limits.
3. Check the Wiring for an Open Circuit
A. Turn the main disconnect switch to the OFF position.
B. Disconnect wiring harness from the J2 ECM connector.
C. Disconnect the wiring harness from the EIC connector.
D. Measure the resistance between the following ECM and EIC connector terminals:
- ECM P2-16 and EIC Terminal 16 for 0-5 V
- ECM P2-37 and EIC Terminal 1 for PWM
Open Circuit
Result: Both measurements were less than 10 ohms between the connector terminals.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
Result: One or more of the measurements were more than 10 ohms between the connector terminals.
Repair: An open circuit has been detected. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 4.
4. Check the Wiring for a Short Circuit
A. Turn the main disconnect switch to the OFF position.
B. Disconnect wiring harness from the J2 ECM connector.
C. Disconnect the wiring harness from the EIC connector.
D. Measure the resistance between the following ECM and EIC connector terminals:
- ECM P2-16 and engine ground for 0-5 V
- ECM P2-37 and engine ground for PWM
Short Circuit
Result: Both measurements were more than 100 K ohms, between the ECM connector terminal and engine ground.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
Result: One or more of the measurements were less than 100 K ohms, between the ECM connector terminal and engine ground.
Repair: There is a short circuit in the wiring harness. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 5.
5. Check the Wiring Harness for a Pin to Pin Short Circuit
A. Turn the main disconnect switch to the OFF position.
B. Disconnect wiring harness from the J2 ECM connector.
C. Measure the resistance between the following ECM connector terminals:
- ECM P2-16 and all other terminals in the ECM connector for 0-5 V
- ECM P2-37 and all other terminals in the ECM connector for PWM
Short Circuit
Result: One or more of the measurements were less than 100 K ohms, between a connector terminal and any other terminal in the ECM connector.
Repair: There is a short circuit in the wiring harness. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
Result: All measurements were more than 100 K ohms, between a connector terminal and any other terminal in the ECM connector.
The problem is located outside of the Caterpillar system wiring. Refer to the customer system schematic or instructions.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
