Diagnostic Codes Table
Description Conditions which Generate this Code System Response
323-3 Engine Shutdown Lamp : Voltage Above Normal While the engine fault output is activated, the Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects a short circuit or a short to the +Battery in the circuit that is for the "Engine Fault" indicator. The code is logged.
The alarm output is activated.
The output driver automatically resets and the output driver continues to try to activate the circuit component.
324-3 Warning Lamp (Action) : Voltage Above Normal While the action lamp output is activated, the ECM detects a short circuit or a short to the +Battery in the circuit that is for the "Action Alarm" indicator.
443-3 Crank Terminate Relay : Voltage Above Normal While the crank terminate output is activated, the ECM detects a short circuit or a short to the +Battery in the circuit that is for the "Crank Terminate" indicator.
445-3 Run Relay : Voltage Above Normal While the output for the engine running output is activated, the ECM detects a short circuit or a short to the +Battery in the circuit that is for the "Engine Running" indicator. The ECM has four outputs that are used to indicate the status of engine operation: engine running output, crank terminate output, action alarm output and engine fault output. These outputs can be used to energize indicator lamps or the outputs can be used to interface with other controls.The ECM opens an internal circuit in order to turn off the output. The ECM closes the circuit in order to turn on the output. When the circuit is closed and the output is on, the ECM allows a maximum current of 0.3 amperes to flow through the circuit to a ground circuit that is inside the ECM.If excessive current flows through the circuit, a diagnostic code is generated. A short circuit to the +Battery side will also activate a diagnostic code.Note: These circuits do not sink enough current for illumination of standard incandescent lamps. If a lamp is burned out, replace the lamp with the correct part number that is specified in the engine's Parts Manual.The following information defines the ECM outputs that are for the indicator lamps:Engine Running Output - This output indicates that the engine is in the "Run" status. The output becomes active at the beginning of the engine's crank cycle. The output remains active until the beginning of engine shutdown.Crank Terminate Output - This output indicates that the engine rpm is greater than the programmed engine speed that is required for disengagement of the starting motor. The output becomes active at the end of the engine's crank cycle. The output remains active until the completion of engine shutdown.Action Alarm Output - This is the alarm output. This output indicates that the ECM has detected an electrical problem or an abnormal operating condition.Engine Fault Output - This is the shutdown output. This output indicates that a potentially damaging operating condition was detected by the ECM. The ECM has shut down the engine.Note: While any of these output drivers are on, a short circuit to a positive voltage source or excessive current through the circuit will cause a diagnostic code to become activated. The ECM cannot diagnose the circuit while the output driver is off.A 323-3 or 324-3 can only be generated if a shutdown condition or an alarm condition is active. Failure to correct a serious condition with the engine can result in engine damage.Use Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to determine if an event code or a diagnostic code that corresponds to the 323-3 or 324-3 diagnostic code is active. You must troubleshoot other event codes and/or diagnostic codes before you troubleshoot a 323-3 or 324-3 diagnostic code. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Event Codes" or Troubleshooting, "Diagnostic Trouble Codes" for the correct test procedure.The most likely causes of a diagnostic code for a status indicator is a poor electrical connection, a problem in a wiring harness, or the lamp. The next likely cause is a problem with the lamp socket assembly. The least likely cause is a problem with the ECM.Logged diagnostic codes provide a historical record. Before you begin this procedure, use Cat ET to print the logged codes to a file.The troubleshooting procedure may generate additional diagnostic codes. Correct the cause of the original diagnostic code before continuing. Clear the diagnostic codes after the problem is resolved.

Schematic for the status indicators
Test Step 1. Inspect the Electrical Connectors and the WiringNote: Some indicators may obtain the status of the engine via a data link. If the status indicator that is suspect is not directly controlled by the outputs at the ECM, do not proceed with this test.
Set the engine control to the OFF/RESET position. Remove the electrical power from the engine.

Thoroughly inspect connectors (1), (2), (3), and (4). Also, thoroughly inspect the connections at the terminal strip at the remote panel. Ensure that the connections are clean and tight. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for details.
