CDL Code and Description    Conditions which Generate the Code    System Response    
91-3 Throttle Position Sensor : Voltage Above Normal     The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects a voltage that is above normal in the circuit for the decelerator position sensor.     The engine speed is limited to low idle.    
91-4 Throttle Position Sensor : Voltage Below Normal     The ECM detects a voltage that is below normal in the circuit for the decelerator position sensor.     The engine speed is limited to low idle.    
91-8 Throttle Position Sensor : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period     The ECM detects an incorrect frequency or an incorrect duty cycle in the circuit for the decel signal.     The engine speed is limited to low idle.    The decelerator position sensor provides the throttle signal to the ECM.

Mounting location of the decelerator position sensor on the decelerator pedal (typical example)The decelerator position sensor is mounted to a pedal assembly that allows the operator to control the speed of the engine. The geometry of the pedal assembly controls both the travel of the sensor and the range of the output signal. The decelerator position sensor cannot be adjusted.The output from the decelerator position sensor is a PWM signal that varies with the position of the decel pedal. The decelerator position sensor produces a minimum duty cycle in the released position and a maximum duty cycle in the fully depressed position. When the pedal is released, the ECM translates the output signal of the sensor to a position of 0 percent deceleration. When the pedal is fully depressed, the ECM translates the output signal to a position of 100 percent deceleration.The decelerator position sensor is powered by 8.0 0.4 VDC that is provided by the ECM. A digital return for the sensor is also provided by the ECM.The ECM uses an automatic calibration function that allows the ECM to minimize the deadband of the sensor. The automatic calibration function assumes a range of PWM duty cycle at powerup. If the duty cycle of the sensor exceeds this initial range, the automatic calibration function adjusts the limits of the duty cycle. The ECM input is then calibrated for the new range.

Schematic for decelerator position sensorTest Step 1. Inspect the Electrical Connectors and the Wiring
Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.

Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the ECM connector and the connector for the decelerator position sensor.
Check the allen head screw from each ECM connector for the proper torque. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for the correct torque value.
Check the harness and the wiring for abrasion and for pinch points.Expected Result:All of the connectors, pins, and sockets are coupled and/or inserted. The harness and wiring are free of corrosion, of abrasion, and of pinch points.Results:
OK - The harness and connectors appear to be OK. Proceed to Test Step 2.
Not OK - The connectors and/or wiring are not OK.Repair: Repair the connectors or wiring and/or replace the connectors or wiring. Ensure that all of the seals are properly in place and ensure that the connectors are coupled.Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.STOPTest Step 2. Inspect the Decelerator Pedal Assembly
Inspect the throttle pedal assembly for components that are loose, bent, missing, or worn.
Slowly depress the pedal and release the pedal.Expected Result:The throttle pedal assembly operates smoothly without excessive drag. The pedal springs back smoothly to the low idle position without assistance.Results:
OK - The throttle pedal assembly functions properly. The mechanical condition of the throttle pedal assembly is OK. Proceed to Test Step 3.
Not OK - The decelerator pedal assembly is in poor repair.Repair: There is excessive drag or improper operation of the decelerator pedal assembly. Repair the pedal assembly or replace the throttle pedal assembly, as required.STOPTest Step 3. Check the Status for "Decelerator Position" on Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET)
Connect Cat ET to the service tool connector.
Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
Observe the status for "Decelerator Position" on Cat ET while you operate the throttle pedal through the entire range of travel.Expected Result:The status is zero percent when the decelerator pedal is released. The status progressively increases to 100 percent when the deceleration pedal is fully depressed.Results:
OK - The decelerator position sensor is working properly.Repair: The original problem seems to be resolved. There may be an intermittent electrical problem with the harness or the connectors. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" if the problem is intermittent.STOP
Not OK - The decelerator position that is displayed on Cat ET is questionable. Proceed to Test Step 4.Test Step 4. Check the Supply Voltage at the Sensor
Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
Disconnect the harness connector for the decelerator position sensor.
Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
Measure the voltage across terminal 1 (8 V supply) and terminal 2 (digital return) on the harness side of the connector.
Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.Expected Result:The supply voltage measures 8.0 0.4 VDC at the sensor connector.Results:
OK - The correct voltage is measured at the sensor connector. The sensor
