Description Conditions which Generate this Code System Response
524–3
Desired Engine Speed Sensor : Current Above Normal The Electronic Control Module (ECM) has detected a low amperage for the desired speed signal. The amperage is less than 2 mA for more than 5 seconds. The code is logged.
The alarm output is activated.
524–4
Desired Engine Speed Sensor : Current Below Normal The ECM has detected an excessive amperage in the circuit for the desired speed signal. The amperage has exceeded 22 mA for more than 5 seconds. The code is logged.
The alarm output is activated. Note: For this troubleshooting procedure, the "Desired Speed Input" configuration parameter must be set to "4 - 20 mA Input" in the "Service/Configuration" screen of the Cat Electronic Technician (ET). Do not select "PWM". The ECM cannot be configured to accept a Pulse Width Modulated signal (PWM) for speed control for the engine.The selection of the "4 - 20 mA Input" setting requires a 4 mA to 20 mA signal for regulation of the desired engine speed. Do not use this procedure if the "Desired Speed Input" is set to "0 to 5 VDC Input".When the desired speed input is correspondingly configured, the ECM controls the engine speed according to the 4 mA to 20 mA current.The value of the current corresponds to a range of desired engine speeds between minimum high idle and maximum high idle. The "Minimum Engine High Idle Speed" and the "Maximum Engine High Idle Speed" are set with the "Service/Configuration" screen of Cat ET. For more information, refer to Troubleshooting, "Configuration Parameters".When the idle/rated speed switch is in the RATED position, a current value of 4.0 mA corresponds to the programmed "Minimum Engine High Idle Speed". A current value of 20.0 mA corresponds to "Maximum Engine High Idle Speed". Desired speed input values within this range will vary the desired engine speed in a linear fashion between. The range will vary between "Minimum Engine High Idle Speed" and "Maximum Engine High Idle Speed".The most likely causes of a diagnostic code for this circuit are a poor connection or a problem in a wiring harness. The next likely cause is a problem with a component. The least likely cause is a problem with the ECM.

Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the circuit for the speed control.
Check the torque of the allen head screws for each of the ECM connectors and of the customer connector. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for the correct torque values.
Check the harness and the wiring for abrasion and for pinch points from the ECM junction box to the remote panel.Expected Result:All connectors, pins, and sockets are connected properly. The connectors and the wiring do not have corrosion, abrasion, or pinch points.Results:
OK - The components are in good condition with proper connections. Proceed to Test Step 2.
Not OK - The components are not in good condition and/or at least one connection is improper.Repair: Perform the necessary repairs and/or replace parts, if necessary.STOPTest Step 2. Check for Active Diagnostic Codes
