TRUNNION AS 4Z9041 - Caterpillar

The master Electronic Control Module (ECM) has the ability to calibrate the mechanical differences between the Top Center (TC) of the flywheel and the TC of the timing gear on the left rear camshaft gear. A magnetic transducer signals the TC of the flywheel to the master ECM when the TC hole on the flywheel passes beneath the transducer. The engine speed/timing sensor signals the TC of the timing gear to the master ECM. Any offset between the TC of the flywheel and the TC of the timing gear is stored into memory. The master ECM communicates the information from the calibration to the slave ECM via the Cat Data Link.Calibration of the timing is required only after the following circumstances:
The master ECM has been replaced.
The timing gear and/or the rear gear train have been adjusted.
The timing gear and/or the rear gear train have been replaced.Note: The 261-13 Engine Timing calibration required is generated only for a master ECM that has never performed a timing calibration.The calibration procedure is initiated with the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET).
Installation of the Transducer

Location of the connectors for the timing calibration (terminal box for the master ECM) (1) P50 connector for the timing calibration probe (2) Terminal box for the master ECM (3) Service tool connector
Set the engine control to the OFF/RESET position. Install one end of 7X-1695 Cable As to P50 connector (1) that is located inside terminal box (2) for the master ECM.
Connect Cat ET to service tool connector (3). Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools".

The timing hole (7) in the flywheel must not be aligned with the transducer during installation. If the transducer is installed into the hole of the flywheel, the transducer will be damaged on engine start-up. Rotate the flywheel for more than 10 degrees before or after the TC position in order to move the flywheel hole away from the hole in the flywheel housing that is for the transducer. Always confirm that the holes are not aligned prior to installation of the transducer.
Remove the timing calibration plug from the timing calibration port on either side of the flywheel housing. Install 6V-3093 Transducer Adapter (4) into timing calibration port (6). Note: Ensure that the hole in the flywheel housing for the transducer is not aligned with the timing hole in the flywheel.
Remove the protective end cap from the 6V-2197 Transducer (5). Insert the transducer into the adapter until the transducer contacts the surface of the flywheel. Pull the transducer away from the surface of the flywheel until the tip of the transducer is 1 mm (0.04 inch) away from the flywheel. Tighten the nut on the adapter in order to secure the transducer in place.
Connect the loose end of the 7X-1695 Cable As to the connector for the transducer.
