Schematic of the Cat Data Link CircuitThis failure results in codes that are logged against an ECM that is not communicating some expected information to the LH Operator ECM. The LH Operator ECM cannot communicate with the Engine ECM or the ECM appears to work intermittently. System Response:When this diagnostic code is active, the following occurs:
Engine shutdown due to diagnostic feature is disabled.
Loss of engine data over Cat Data Link.
Operator station fault lamp is active.
The following pop-up message shows on graphical display: "Loss of communication with Engine. Engine features may be disabled"Note: The LH Operator ECM is located under the LH Operator Platform.Test Step 1. VERIFY THE HARDWARE AND THE SOFTWARE PART NUMBERS.
Verify that the following information is correct:
The part number of the software for the LH Operator ECM
The part number of the "Engine ECM software"
The part number of the LH Operator ECM
The part number of the Engine ECMNote: Consult the Business Unit that produces the product for the correct part numbers of the configuration software. Expected Result:All part numbers are correct. Results:
OK - All part numbers are correct. Proceed to test step 2.
NOT OK - All part numbers are NOT correct. The part number of the LH Operator ECM may be incorrect. The part number of the Engine ECM may be incorrect. The incorrect software for the ECM may also be installed. Repair: Replace the incorrect ECM with an ECM that has the correct part number. Flash the correct and most current software. See Troubleshooting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Flash Program".STOPTest Step 2. INSPECT THE HARNESS CONNECTIONS.
Turn the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
Inspect all harness connections that are related to the Cat Data Link. Make sure that the connectors are clean and tight.
Check the connectors for proper mating.
Check the wires at the connector.
Check each wire for nicks or signs of abrasion in the insulation.
Check for moisture at the connector.
Check the connectors for dirty contacts or corroded contacts.
Check each pin and each socket of the machine harness connectors. Expected Result:
