190-8
Engine Speed : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period 190-8
Engine Speed Sensor : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period The code is logged. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) can default to the secondary engine speed/timing sensor. The default will occur if a valid signal is not received from the primary engine speed/timing sensor. The engine will shut down only if the signals from the primary engine speed/timing sensor and the secondary engine speed/timing sensor are abnormal.
723-8
Engine Speed Sensor #2 : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period 342-8
Secondary Engine Speed Sensor : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period The code is logged. If a valid signal is not received from the secondary engine speed/timing sensor, the ECM will default to the primary engine speed/timing sensor. The engine will shut down only if the signals from the primary engine speed/timing sensor and the secondary engine speed/timing sensor are abnormal.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check the Engine Speed/Timing Circuit
A. Connect Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools", if necessary.
B. Turn the keyswitch to ON.
C. Monitor the "Engine Starting" screen in Cat ET
D. Start the engine and run the engine. The problem may occur when the engine is at any operating temperature. However, the problem is more likely to occur when the engine is at the normal operating temperature.
Circuit Check
Result: The engine started.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: The engine did not start.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
2. Check for Codes
A. While the engine is running monitor, Cat ET for codes. Also monitor the "Engine Starting" screen for an engine speed/timing that is "Not Detected".
B. Wait at least 30 seconds for activation of the diagnostic codes. Look for these codes on Cat ET:
190-8
342-8
723-8
Codes
Result: There is an active code or there is a timing pattern that is "Not Detected".
Proceed to Test Step 5.
Result: There is not an active code and there is not a timing pattern that is "Not Detected".
Repair: Download the "Warranty Report" from the engine ECM. Troubleshoot any codes that may be present.
Return the unit to service.
3. Check the Battery Voltage
A. Monitor the "Engine Starting" screen in Cat ET.
B. Monitor the battery voltage. Crank the engine for 5 seconds.
Battery Voltage
Result: The battery voltage is OK.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
Result: The battery voltage is not OK.
Repair: Refer to Troubleshooting, "Engine Cranks but Does Not Start".
4. Check the Engine Speed and the Engine Speed/Timing Status
A. Monitor the "Engine Starting" screen in Cat ET.
B. Crank the engine for 5 seconds. While the engine is cranking, verify that the sensors show an acceptable cranking speed.
C. While the engine is cranking, check the status of the engine speed/timing.
Speed/Timing Status
Result: The sensors show an acceptable cranking speed. The timing pattern shows "Detected".
Repair: Refer to Troubleshooting, "Engine Cranks but Does Not Start".
Result: A sensor does not show an acceptable cranking speed and/or the timing pattern shows "Not Detected".
Proceed to Test Step 5.
5. Inspect the Sensor Assembly
A. Turn the keyswitch to OFF.
B. Visually inspect the sensor and the sensor assembly without removing the sensor assembly from the engine. Flanges must be flush against the surface of the front timing gear housing to ensure proper operation.
C. Verify that the bracket securely holds the flanges of the sensors flush against the engine.
D. Verify that the bracket is not bent. If the bracket is bent or if an obstruction is preventing the sensor assembly from being installed correctly, the engine will not start.
E. Disconnect the harness from the speed/timing sensors. Check the harness for debris and for corrosion.
F. Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on the harness wiring.
Sensor Inspection
Result: The sensor and the sensor assembly mounting are OK. Do not reconnect the harness connector.
Proceed to Test Step 6.
Result: The sensor and/or the sensor assembly has a mechanical problem or the harness has debris and/or corrosion.
Repair: Repair the sensor and/or the sensor assembly or replace the sensor and/or the sensor assembly.
Repair: Replace the sensor and the sensor harness connector if there was debris and/or corrosion.
Verify that the problem is resolved.
6. Use a Multimeter to Check the Harness Wiring
A. Turn the keyswitch to ON.
B. Perform the following procedure for each sensor.
- Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and a good engine ground. The voltage is 2.4 0.2 VDC.
- Measure the voltage between terminal 2 and a good engine ground. The voltage is 2.4 0.2 VDC.
Check Wiring Harness
Result: The voltage was OK for all the measurements. The harness and wiring are OK.
Proceed to Test Step 7.
Result: The voltage was not OK for at least one of the measurements. There is a problem in the harness wiring.
Repair: Repair the appropriate harness wiring or replace the appropriate harness.
Verify that the problem is resolved.
7. Measure the Resistance of the Sensor
A. Turn the keyswitch to OFF.
B. Disconnect the engine harness from the sensor.
C. Remove the sensor. Check the sensor tip for any damage.
D. For the primary engine speed/timing sensor, measure the resistance between terminal 2 (Primary engine speed/timing +) to terminal 1 (Primary engine speed/timing −).
Resistance: 75 Ohms to 230 Ohms
E. For the secondary engine speed/timing sensor, measure the resistance between terminal 2 (secondary engine speed/timing +) to terminal 1 (secondary engine speed/timing −).
Resistance: 600 Ohms to 1800 Ohms
Sensor Resistance
Result: The resistance measurement for the sensor is within the specification. There is no damage to the sensor tip.
Repair: If the engine was running before removing the sensor, reinstall the sensor. Use Cat ET to check for any active codes. Troubleshoot any active codes.
Return the unit to service.
Repair: If the engine was not running before removing the sensor, refer to Troubleshooting, "Engine Cranks but Does Not Start".
Result: The resistance measurement for the sensor is within the specification. There is damage to the sensor tip.
Repair:Inspect the housing for a cause of the sensor damage. Make
