Troubleshooting Test Steps     Values     Results    
1. Check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes
A. Connect to Cat® Electronic Technician (ET).
B. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
C. Access the "Active Diagnostic Code" screen on Cat ET.
Wait at least 30 seconds in order for the diagnostic codes to become active.
D. Look for these active codes or logged codes:
1. -3
2. -4
   
Codes    
Result: A -3 diagnostic code is active.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: A -4 diagnostic code is active.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
Result: To troubleshoot a logged 3386-3 or a 412-3 diagnostic code during cold mode, Proceed to Test Step 5.
This code will not become active during cold mode.
Result: For a diagnostic code that is logged but not currently active, Proceed to Test Step 4.
   
2. Create a Short at the Sensor Connector
A. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
B. Disconnect the suspect sensor.
C. Install the jumper wire between terminal 1 (sensor signal) and terminal 2 (sensor return) at the sensor connector.
D. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
E. Monitor the diagnostic codes on Cat ET. Check for an active -4 diagnostic code for the suspect sensor.
Wait at least 30 seconds in order for the diagnostic codes to become active.
F. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
   
Short Circuit Recognized    
Result: The -3 diagnostic code remains active for the suspect sensor.
Repair: There is an open in the harness. Repair the wiring or replace the harness.
Verify that the problem is resolved.
Result: A -4 diagnostic code became active after creating the short at the sensor connector.
Repair: The wiring is OK. Replace the sensor.
Verify that the problem is resolved.
   
3. Create an Open at the Suspect Sensor Connector
A. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
B. Disconnect the sensor connector of the suspect sensor with the active -4 diagnostic code.
C. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
D. Monitor the diagnostic codes on Cat ET. Check for an active -3 diagnostic code for the suspect sensor.
Wait at least 30 seconds in order for the diagnostic codes to become active.
A 412-3 or a 3386-3 code will not become active during "Cold Mode". Run the engine to exit cold mode before troubleshooting a 412-3 or a 3386-3 code.
For a 110-3 code, start the engine and let the engine idle for 7 minutes. The engine must be running for at least 7 minutes in order for the diagnostic to run.
E. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
   
Open Circuit Recognized    
Result: The -4 diagnostic code remains active for the suspect sensor.
Repair: There is an open in the harness. Repair the wiring or replace the harness.
Verify that the problem is resolved.
Result: A -3 diagnostic code became active after disconnecting the sensor.
Repair: The wiring is OK. Replace the sensor.
Verify that the problem is resolved.
