7 Systems Operation Section

The main display module is the brain of the system. This module receives information from the switches, sensors and other electronic controls on the machine via the CAT data link. The main display module processes all of the information. The module then activates various outputs. The outputs could be in the display area of the main display module, the quad gauge module, the speedometer/tachometer module, the action lamp, or the action alarm. The display components show the condition of the machine systems. The operator can also obtain system diagnostic information. The same monitoring system operates on a variety of different machines. All the possible system functions are not performed on every machine. After the main display module has been installed, the module recognizes the machine. The module will perform only the intended functions for that machine. The main display module is required for the monitoring system to operate. The quad gauge module and the speedometer/tachometer module may not be used on some machines. The maximum number of other modules that can be used with the main display module at any one time is four. The modules that can be used are two quad gauge modules and two speedometer/tachometer modules.

Main Display Module • The ten alert indicators (4) show abnormal conditions in the machine.

The Caterpillar Monitoring System is an electronic monitoring system that continuously watches machine systems. The system is a flexible modular monitoring system that includes the following devices: a main display module, various switches and sensors, an action lamp, and an action alarm. The system may include a speedometer/tachometer module. A different number of quad gauge modules may be included in the system.

• A six digit display area (9) is provided. The

display shows the following modes: machine operational hours (service meter), engine speed (tachometer), machine distance (odometer), and diagnostic codes. The information for the speedometer/tachometer module, and any gauge of the quad gauge module can also be shown as a number on this readout. The display area contains seven unit indicators and a service indicator. The operator selects the information in order to be shown on the display area.

• Seven different unit indicators can be shown in

the display area. The unit indicators that can be shown are “°C”, “kPa”, “MILES”, “KM”, “RPM”, “LITERS” and “HOURMETER” symbol. These indicators show the units of measurement for the data on the six digit display area. The indicators are turned ON and OFF in order to correspond with the information on the six digit display area.

• In order to indicate a current fault, a service code

indicator is used. The service code indicator is used in service mode and diagnostic scrolling mode.

Speedometer/Tachometer Module • One tachometer gauge (6) shows the information on the engine speed (RPM).

8 Systems Operation Section

• One three digit display area (7) shows the

information on the ground speed. The speed is displayed in “MPH” and “km/h”.

• Information on the transmission gear and the

direction are shown on a two digit gear readout (8).

Quad Gauge Module • The four gauges (5) show the condition of

the machine. The quad gauge will display the following information: engine coolant temperature, articulation angle, system voltage, and fuel level.

According to the application, the type and the quantity of indications that are used in the display areas varies. All of the indications are not used on the machine. The quantity of quad gauge modules and speedometer/tachometer modules may vary with each machine. An action lamp and an action alarm indicate the severity (warning category) of a problem. To determine the functions that are used on a particular machine, see the corresponding Operation and Maintenance Manual. i01962268

Modes of Operation SMCS Code: 7490

Illustration 5

g00297408

This is a typical example of the Display Area (Mode 2).

The Caterpillar Monitoring System has many different possible modes of operation. The modes are operator modes and service modes. Each mode provides important information regarding the condition of the machine. Each mode also provides information regarding the setup of the monitoring system. All modes are not available on all machines. The system that is installed on the machine determines the modes that are available. All the modes are given names and the modes are referenced in this manual. The mode is shown as a number on the display area of the main display module. This number is assigned by the software in the main display module.

The operator modes are accessible by using the selector switch for the operator mode that is located in the operator’s compartment. The following table shows the available modes. See the Operation and Maintenance Manual of the machine that is being serviced for specific information on the operator mode. When power is applied, the Caterpillar Monitoring System performs the self test. After the self test is complete the Caterpillar Monitoring System enters the Normal Mode. Normal Mode is service mode 0. Normal Mode contains the operator modes. In order to enter the other service modes, the service and clear inputs must be grounded at the same time. Access to the service and clear inputs is provided with the service connector. The service connector is located within the operator compartment. Information on the location of the service connector is in the Electrical System Schematic for the machine that is being serviced. When the service and clear inputs are grounded, the service mode numbers scroll sequentially on the six digit display area of the main display module. Note: When you are scrolling through the modes, mode 0 (Normal Mode) is not shown on the display area as a number. When you reach mode 0, the display area begins showing the information for mode 0 (Normal Mode). When ground is removed from the service and clear inputs, the monitoring system enters the mode which corresponds to the number that is presently shown. The following situation is an example. When you see the mode number “- 1-” on the display, remove the ground. This action causes the monitoring system to enter the Harness Code Mode. Note: The monitoring system must finish performing the self test before you ground the service and clear inputs in order to begin scrolling through the service modes.

Normal mode is used during normal machine operation. When you are in normal mode, the Caterpillar Monitoring System performs the following operations.

• A monitoring system that is operating properly

will perform a self test whenever the key switch is turned to the ON position. The outputs also operate for a brief instant. See Testing and Adjusting, “System Self Test ”.

10 Systems Operation Section

• The main display module continuously watches

machine systems. If the gauges are available, the gauges in the quad gauge module show a value in a normal range. Ground speed readout (7) is shown as a numeric value and the transmission gear readout (8) on the module shows numeric values. The value for a condition may also be shown in the display area.

• The main display can show a problem with the

machine. The main display module continuously monitors machine systems. When an abnormal condition (problem) exists, the corresponding alert indicator (4) FLASHES. As the severity of the problem increases, the action lamp FLASHES and the action alarm SOUNDS. See System Operation, “Warning Operation”.

Note: The main display module may notify the operator when a diagnostic code exists in other electronic systems. This is done in different ways. The following example is of a diagnostic code that occurs in the engine electronic system. The service code indicator will show “SERV CODE” and the alert indicator for “check engine” FLASHES. See the Operation And Maintenance Manual for the machine that is being serviced for more specific information on the machine. Operator Modes Table 3

The default condition is shown on the six digit display area when the main display module enters normal mode. This condition is normally the service meter. See System Operation, “Service Meter Mode” for more information. The six digit display area scrolls through the available operator modes when the operator switch input is grounded. Opening the switch input will stop the scrolling on the currently shown mode. Mode numbers are not displayed when operator modes are scrolling. See the topic with the corresponding name on the following pages for a more detailed explanation of each mode. Optional Machine Conditions The display area may be used to show other information on the condition of the machine. For example, the display area may be used as a gear readout when the speedometer/tachometer module is not used. The following situation occurs in order to function as a gear readout. The six digit display area changes from the default condition to the gear readout when the parking brake is DISENGAGED. The symbol for the service meter turns OFF and the information on the transmission gear is shown on the six digit display area. The display area may also be used when ether is being injected with a flashing “E”. A flashing “P” in the display area may be used when the engine is being prelubed. The following display modes are also available: the load count, the engine oil pressure, and the charge pressure. See the table for the Monitoring System Mode on the Electrical System Schematic in order to determine the mode number for the corresponding machine.

Harness code mode is always mode 1. The machine code is shown on the six digit display area when the main display module is in harness code mode. The machine code must correspond with the monitoring system that is installed on the machine sales model. See the following table for Machine Codes. The machine code is a two-digit representation of the harness code. An incorrect harness code is one that does not match the machine. Incorrect operation of the monitoring system will be caused by an erroneous harness code. Excessive diagnostic service codes could be recorded as a result of this situation. Table 4

Machine Codes Sales Model

Some machines do not utilize a harness code plug. This can be verified with the electrical schematic for the machine. If the machine does not utilize a harness code plug, then the machine does not have a harness code. However, the machines that do not have a harness code will also display a machine code in harness code mode. The machine code does not represent the harness code in this case. The machine code represents the monitoring system configuration code. The monitoring system configuration code is configured in the software for the ECM with Caterpillar ET. The monitoring system configuration code is the numeric number in the sales model of the machine. For example, the monitoring system configuration code for a 160H is 160.

Numeric readout mode is always mode 2. Numeric readout mode assists service personnel with troubleshooting of sensor inputs. The inputs supply information for the gauges in the quad gauge modules. Numeric readout mode more accurately shows the same information that is shown on the gauges in normal mode. The system identifier and the numeric value for the system scrolls on the six digit display area. The system identifier identifies the system that is currently shown on the six digit display area. See table 5 for “System Identification” and illustration 13 in order to match the system identifier to the appropriate gauge.

13 Systems Operation Section

When you enter the numeric readout mode, the six digit display area is showing information for system GA-1. The display momentarily shows the system identifier. The display then shows the value for the corresponding system on the six digit display area. Grounding the service input causes all the systems to scroll on the display. This will show the system identifiers. Removing ground from the service input stops the scrolling, when the desired system is shown. The six digit display area continues to show the system identifier momentarily. The six digit display area then shows the value of the system. The system is now shown on hold. While the system is on hold, the numeric value of the system is continuously updated. i01525238

Display Area

The fuel level is shown on the six digit display area when the main display module is in fuel level mode. The display will show “% full”, and no unit indicators are illuminated. The main display module calculates fuel level from a resistive sender, which is directly connected to the main display module.

Service mode is mode 3. The main display module detects faults that occur with sensor inputs, sender inputs, and main display module outputs while the main display module is in normal mode. The signal is at the contact of the main display module. A diagnostic code is detected when the signal is outside a valid range. The main display module then records the diagnostic code. The diagnostic code remains stored for future reference when the fault is not present. The main display module detects faults and the main display module diagnoses faults in the following circuits:

• Display output modules • Action alarm output • Action lamp output • Sensor input • Harness code Note: The main display module does not detect switch input faults.

15 Systems Operation Section

Service personnel can see the diagnostic codes and service personnel can troubleshoot the diagnostic codes when the main display module has detected a fault. All detected faults are shown in the display area as a diagnostic code. The diagnostic codes can be placed on hold and the diagnostic codes can be cleared while the main display module is in service mode. Note: Diagnostic codes from other machine systems under electronic control are shown in the display area of the main display module when the main display module is in Service Mode. The CAT data link allows the transfer of diagnostic information from other electronic control modules to the main display module. This diagnostic information is then shown when the main display module is in service mode. The diagnostic code for faults from other electronic control modules has a MID that is unique to the control. These diagnostic codes can scroll similarly to the diagnostic codes from the Caterpillar Monitoring System. See the following description of Module Identifier (MID). The diagnostics of the Caterpillar Monitoring System are available to assist with the troubleshooting of diagnostic codes when the main display module is placed in service mode. A diagnostic code is used to specify each fault. The diagnostic code is made up of three identifiers (MID, CID and FMI). These identifiers are shown in the display area. The display area continuously changes between the following identifiers when the diagnostic code is on hold: Module Identifier (MID) – The MID is a three-digit code that is shown on the display area. The MID is shown for approximately one second before the diagnostic code that is shown in the same area. The electronic control module that has diagnosed the diagnostic code is logged by the MID. The following examples are of some MID. Caterpillar Monitoring System ...................... Engine Control (ADEM) ................................ Power Train Electronic Control System ........ All Wheel Drive Electronic Control System ...

030 036 081 075

See the table for the Module Identifier (MID) on the Electrical System Schematic for the machine that is being serviced for the most complete list. To troubleshoot diagnostic codes, use the service manual for the control that detected the code.

Component Identifier (CID) – The components that are faulty are noted by the CID. These components are examples: transmission oil temperature sensor, speed sensor, action lamp, and boost pressure sensor. The CID is a four digit code that is shown on the six digit display area. The CID and the FMI are shown together after the MID has been displayed. See the table “Diagnostic Codes For Caterpillar Monitoring System” in Testing And Adjusting, “Troubleshooting Diagnostic Codes”. This will show a list of CID codes for the main display module. Failure Mode Identifier (FMI) – The FMI tells the type of failure that has occurred. The following situations are examples: voltage above normal, current below normal, and abnormal frequency. The FMI is a two digit code that is shown on the six digit display area. The CID and the FMI are shown after the MID is displayed. The CID and the FMI are separated by a decimal point “.”. See the table “Diagnostic Codes For Caterpillar Monitoring System” in Testing And Adjusting, “Troubleshooting Diagnostic Codes”. This table will show a list of failure mode identifiers for the main display module. When the main display module enters the service mode, the MID, the CID, and the FMI are shown. At this time, the diagnostic code that is shown is on hold. The display area continuously changes between the following identifiers when the diagnostic code is on hold: MID, CID, and FMI. This is maintained as long as the service and clear inputs remain open. Troubleshooting is performed while the diagnostic code is on hold. Note: The display shows “- - -” when the main display module has no diagnostic codes. All diagnostic codes are shown one at a time in the display area when the diagnostic codes are scrolling. Grounding the service input causes the display to scroll when the main display module is in service mode. This will momentarily show the MID. The display will show the CID and the FMI that corresponds. Removing ground from the service input stops the scrolling when the diagnostic code that is desired is shown. The diagnostic code that is shown is now on hold. Note: The diagnostic codes from other electronic control modules can be shown on the display. Use the same procedure in order to place the diagnostic codes on hold.

16 Systems Operation Section

Diagnostics are provided in order to assist service personnel during troubleshooting of intermittent faults. The service code indicator “SERV CODE” is shown when the diagnostic code is present. This can aid in troubleshooting of intermittent faults. The service code indicator changes from “SERV CODE” that is OFF to “SERV CODE” that is ON. This will occur when the fault changes status. The action alarm SOUNDS briefly during the change of status when the diagnostic code is on hold for a fault. These diagnostics signal the service personnel while inspections are performed. These diagnostics assist in troubleshooting intermittent faults by one service person. A diagnostic code is removed from the memory of the main display module when the diagnostic code has been cleared. When a fault is corrected, it is necessary to remove the corresponding diagnostic code from the memory of the main display module. In order to remove the diagnostic code from the memory, place the diagnostic code on hold and ground the clear input. The memory of the main display module saves a diagnostic code until the code is cleared. The main display module does not allow clearing of a diagnostic code that corresponds to a fault which is present. Note: The diagnostic codes from other electronic control modules should be cleared by using the main display module.

Illustration 19 shows a main display module that is currently receiving a signal. This signal is from the transmission oil temperature sensor and the signal is out of range. Detailed Explanation MID (3) – “030”. This code concerns the Caterpillar Monitoring System. The Caterpillar Monitoring System service manual should be used to troubleshoot the diagnostic code. If the MID that was shown was “081”, the diagnostic code would concern the power train electronic control. The service module for the power train electronic control should be used to troubleshoot the diagnostic code. CID (5) – “0110”. This code means that a fault has occurred in the sensor circuit for the engine coolant temperature of MID “030”. See the table for Detected Faults in Testing And Adjusting, “Troubleshooting Diagnostic Codes”. This will show a list of CID codes for the Caterpillar Monitoring System. FMI (6) – “08”. This identifier means that a signal of abnormal frequency, pulse width or period is being received concerning CID “0110”. See the table for Detected Faults in Testing And Adjusting, “Troubleshooting Diagnostic Codes”. This table will show a list of FMI codes for the Caterpillar Monitoring System. Service code indicator (4) is ON in Illustration 19. When the main display module is in service mode, the service code indicator (4) functions as a fault present indicator. Therefore, the CID “0110” fault is present. The service code indicator changes from ON to OFF when the CID “0110” fault changes status. Also, the action alarm sounds when the CID “0110” fault changes status. This action will take place while the main display module is in service mode. i01520269

17 Systems Operation Section

Gauges (5) show the highest reading or lowest reading that has been attained by the corresponding machine system. The gauges show the highest reading for systems with increasing abnormal values. The gauges also show the lowest reading for systems with decreasing abnormal values. The gauge alternates between the highest reading and lowest reading. This will occur for the gauges that are double ended. Tachometer (6) and speed readout (7) show the highest reading that has been obtained. Alert indicators (4) turn on when an abnormal condition has existed. Information from the tattletale is retained until the information is cleared. Grounding the clear input erases the information. After clearing, all information is reset to a nominal value and the recording of new extreme values begins. Note: The date, time or duration of the extreme value that has occurred is not recorded. Example This example explains the information that is shown in the illustration for the Tattletale Mode.

• Gauge (5) for the engine coolant temperature has a pointer that indicates a value above the normal temperature range. Therefore, a high abnormal value has existed in this system.

Tattletale Mode is a tool for management and maintenance. The history of the machine can be recorded by this mode. The main display module records the extreme value for each condition of the machine that is monitored. The values come from sensor inputs, switch inputs and the CAT data link. The values in tattletale mode are updated whenever a value occurs with more importance than the previous value. These values are ignored for a short period of time after each start-up. This allows the machine systems to stabilize before the recording of information.

• Gauge (5) for the battery charge level has a pointer that indicates a value below or a value above the normal battery charge range. Therefore, a low abnormal value or a high abnormal value has existed in this system.

• Gauge (5) for the articulation angle has a pointer that indicates a value for the articulation angle of the machine. Therefore, no abnormal value has existed in these systems.

• Gauge (5) for the fuel level has a pointer that

indicates a level of 50%. Therefore, the highest amount of fuel that has existed is 50%.

• The pointer on tachometer (6) indicates a

maximum value (2100 RPM). Therefore, an engine speed of 2100 rpm has existed.

• Speed readout (7) shows “13 MPH”. Therefore, 13 MPH is the highest ground speed that has been attained.

• Alert indicator (4) is ON. Therefore, an abnormal condition has existed in this system.

• All other alert indicators (4) are OFF. Therefore, no abnormal values have existed in these systems.

The units mode is mode 5. The units mode is used to toggle the displays of the monitoring system between US and Metric units of measure. When the main display module enters units mode, six digit display area (7) shows the current setting. The display reads “US” when the mode is set to US units. The display reads “SI” when the mode is set to Metric units. When the units mode is set to US units, the main display module shows “MILES” on display area (6) when the main display module is in odometer mode. The display for the speedometer/tachometer module shows “MPH”. The display area (6) shows “KM” when the main display module is set to Metric units. The display for the speedometer/tachometer module shows “km/h”. In order to toggle the units, ground the clear input while the service input is open. The units continuously toggle when the clear input is grounded. Opening both of the inputs will set the main display module to the currently displayed setting.

Setup Mode is mode 9 on all of the motor graders except the 143H and the 163H. Setup Mode is mode 10 on the 143H and the 163H. This mode is used in order to configure the installation status of the speedometer/tachometer module. If the speedometer/tachometer module is already installed, the display will read “t1 YES” when you enter the Setup Mode. If the speedometer/tachometer module is not installed, the display will read “t1 NO”. In order to change the status of the module, ground the clear input for two seconds. If multiple speedometer/tachometer modules are present on the machine, grounding the service input for two seconds will display the status of the next module. For example, the display may read “t2 YES”. The display will read “END” once you have scrolled through all of the modules. Grounding the service input for two seconds will start scrolling through the status of the modules again from the first module. i01963535

Calibration Mode SMCS Code: 7490 Calibration Mode 7 and Calibration Mode 8 are associated with the power train ECM. Calibration Mode 7 and Calibration Mode 8 are identical. Both modes contain the same submodes and perform the same calibrations. Calibration Mode is used on some machines in order to perform special functions of calibration. The operation of the Calibration Mode will vary depending on the machine and the system that is being calibrated. The Service Manual Module for the controls that require the Calibration Mode should be used in order to determine the operation.

19 Systems Operation Section

Submodes

E04 – The calibration value is too small.

Calibration Mode 7 and Calibration Mode 8 include submodes in order to extend the diagnostic capabilities. After you have entered mode 7 or mode 8, use the service switch in order to scroll through the submodes.

The error codes indicate that the inching pedal position sensor may be adjusted improperly. Perform the Testing and Adjusting, “Inching Pedal - Adjust” procedure in this manual and then repeat the calibration procedure.

Submode 7.29 / 8.29 (Calibration Of The Inching Pedal Position Sensor ) This procedure allows the calibration of the travel limits of the inching pedal position sensor. The inching pedal must be calibrated if any of the conditions that are listed below have occurred:

• The power train ECM has been replaced. • New software has been flashed into the power

train ECM and a diagnostic code of CID 0573 FMI 13 is active.

• The position sensor for the inching pedal has been replaced.

• The linkage for the inching pedal has been adjusted.

6. Exit submode number 29 by scrolling to the next submode number by using the “SCROLL” switch or by exiting the “Power Train Calibration” mode by using the “Mode” Switch.

Calibration Of The Engagement Pressure For The Transmission Clutch Incorrect transmission clutch pressure adversely affects the life of the transmission. Submodes 31 through 33 are used in order to set the transmission clutch pressure of the direction clutches (No. 1 through No. 3). In this process, the service technician adjusts the electrical current that is sent to the transmission solenoid valve in order to obtain the specified pressure for the transmission clutch. The calibration of the transmission clutch pressure must be performed prior to the transmission clutch fill calibration (submode 40).

1. Connect the 4C-8195 Control Service Tool to the service tool connector.

The transmission system must be calibrated if any of the following conditions have occurred:

2. Use the 4C-8195 Control Service Tool in order to enter the “Power Train Calibration” Mode (7) via the “MODE” switch. Then use the “SCROLL” switch to enter submode number 29.

• A transmission solenoid valve has been replaced

3. Ensure that the inching pedal is not pressed. Use the “INCREMENT (+)” position of the “CLEAR” switch to start the calibration. The display on the 4C-8195 Control Service Tool will change to “C01”.

• New flash software has been flashed into the ECM.

4. Press and hold the inching pedal to the down limit. Select “INCREMENT (+)” position of the “CLEAR” switch. The display on the 4C-8195 Control Service Tool will change to “C02”. 5. Release the inching pedal. Select the “INCREMENT (+)” position of the “CLEAR” switch. The display on the 4C-8195 Control Service Tool will change to “---” if the calibration was successful. If an error occurred during the calibration, The display on the 4C-8195 Control Service Tool will change to “Exx”. The “xx” is one of the failure codes that are listed below: E01 – The calibration value is too high. E02 – The calibration value is too low. E03 – The calibration value is too large.

Main Display Module (7) Alert indicator (8) Display area

The Caterpillar Monitoring System notifies the operator of an immediate problem with a machine system or an impending problem with a machine system. Warning operation begins when the main display module receives a problem signal. The problem signal reflects an abnormal condition of the machine. Warning operation also begins when the main display module detects a problem with the control system. Switches, sensors, and other electronic control modules on the machine provide signals to the main display module. The problem signals are the following conditions:

Alert Indicator Description SMCS Code: 7490

• An open switch. When a condition exceeds the trip point of the switch, the switch opens.

• A sensor signal exceeds the limits. The main display module determines the limits.

• Another condition is an abnormal condition that is

detected by another electronic control module. The abnormal condition is then communicated over the CAT data link to the main display module.

The main display module analyzes the problem signals. In order to notify the operator of a warning, the display components on the main display module activate the appropriate warning indication. The following warning indications will notify the operator:

• The alert indicator FLASHES approximately nine times per second.

• The action lamp FLASHES for one second and the action lamp is OFF for two seconds.

• The action alarm SOUNDS for one second and the action alarm is OFF for two seconds.

Note: In order to activate warning indications, more than one input is required. The main display module decides when the warning indications are activated.

Component Description SMCS Code: 7490 This arrangement of the Caterpillar Monitoring System will work on the current Motor Graders. Three modules constitute the Caterpillar Monitoring System: main display module, quad gauge module, and speedometer/tachometer module. All of the following electrical components are not present on every machine. The main display module recognizes the machine and the components that are present. For the location of the electrical components, see the Electrical System Schematic in the Service Manual for the machine.

(1) Alert Indicators. (2) Display area.

The main display module continuously monitors all machine systems. The main display module makes decisions that are based upon the input from the machine systems or other electronic control modules. The main display module sends information to other electronic controls on the machine. The input and output of this information takes place over the CAT data link. The outputs on the main display module notify the operator and the service person of the status of the machine systems. The following outputs are on the Caterpillar Monitoring System: the quad gauge, the speedometer/tachometer module, the main display module, the action lamp, and the action alarm. A connector with 40 contacts is located on the rear of the module. This connector connects the necessary harness wiring to the inputs and outputs. For a complete description of the connector, see Testing And Adjusting, “Connector Contact Description of Main Display Module”.

Inputs/Outputs CAT Data Link The CAT data link (connector contacts 5 and 14) is used to communicate with other electronic control modules on the machine. The CAT data link is bidirectional. This allows the modules to input the information. Also, the modules can output the information. This permits sharing of information such as engine oil pressure, harness codes and diagnostics.

28 Systems Operation Section

Display Data Link

Switch Inputs - Uncommitted

The display data link (connector contacts 15, 25 and 35) provides the electrical signals in order to operate the speedometer/tachometer module and the quad guage module. These display modules provide information about the machine systems to the operator. Each module and each display indicator is identified by an identifier or an address. Data is continuously output from the main display module to the other display modules. The module that is addressed returns the data to the main display module. This confirms the receipt of the data.

The uncommitted switch inputs (connector contacts 11, 19, 20, 21, 29, 32, 39, and 40) provide the information that is used in order to operate the ten alert indicators. The alert indicators are part of the outputs on the main display module. These switch inputs may be programmed at the time of installation to work independently. The switch inputs may be programmed with other switch inputs and/or sensor inputs. The switch inputs will operate an alarm indicator and the input will determine the appropriate warning category (1,2 or 3). During normal operation, these switch inputs are closed to ground. The grounded inputs tell the main display module that the conditions of the system are normal and no alert indicators should be ON. These inputs receive information from the following switches that are located within the machine systems: pressure, temperature, flow, level, and mechanical.

Inputs The operation and the status of the machine is transferred from the inputs to the main display module. Three types of inputs exist: switch type input, sensor type input, and sender type input. Switches and harness wiring provide a ground or an open signal to the switch inputs. Sensors provide a changing signal to the sensor inputs of the main display module. Senders provide a changing resistance to the sender inputs of the main display module. Some inputs are multipurpose (switch, sensor or sender). The following examples are of multipurpose inputs: connector contacts 7, 17, 27 and 37 may be either switch inputs or PWM sensor inputs, connector contacts 9 and 18 may be either switch inputs or 0-240 ohm sender inputs, and connector contacts 8, 10, 28 and 38 may be switch inputs, PWM sensor inputs or 70-800 ohm sender inputs. These inputs are programmed at the time of installation in order to define the components that are monitored. In order to determine the inputs on the main display module that are programmed, see the Electrical System Schematic in the Service Manual.

Other inputs for the main display module may be programmed at the time of installation in order to function as uncommitted switch inputs. For more information, see the topics “Sensor Inputs - PWM”, “Sender Inputs - 0-240 ohm” and “Sender Inputs 70-800 ohm”. Any one of the switch inputs may be programmed to operate from an operator switch that is used to operate the display area on the main display module. For the location of this switch input, see the wiring diagram for the machine. For information on the operation of this switch, see System Operation, “Normal Mode”. Note: The alert indicators may also be programmed to operate from sensor inputs. One of the ten alert indicators is normally dedicated to the charging system. The system uses the input for the battery power and the input for the alternator terminal “R”.

Switch Inputs - Programming The operation of the main display module is determined by the programming switch inputs (connector pins 3, 6, 12, 16, 22 and 31). The main display module operates in a manner that corresponds to the open state or the grounded state of the programming switch inputs. These inputs receive information from a permanent connection or a harness code connector within the harness wiring. The inputs for the programming switch consist of the information from the harness code. The inputs from the harness code switch tell the main display module the machine model. Information of the model is necessary because of the differences in the machines. Information from the machine is necessary for the main display module to make decisions.

29 Systems Operation Section

Switch Inputs - Service The inputs from the service switches (connector contacts 23 and 33) control the setup, the mode of operation, and certain diagnostic functions. Grounding the service input (connector contact 23) and the clear input (connector contact 33) at the same time will initiate a change in the monitoring system mode of operation. Removing ground from these two inputs locks the main display module in the selected mode. Other diagnostic functions are also performed when the service inputs are grounded and/or opened at the proper time. For more information, see System Operation, “Modes Of Operation”.

Sensor Inputs - PWM Each PWM sensor input (connector contacts 7, 17, 27 and 37) may be programmed in order to operate as either a sensor input or a switch input. A PWM signal is present when the sensor input is programmed to operate as a PWM sensor input. A PWM signal represents the condition of a machine system. As the condition of the machine changes, the duty cycle of the signal changes. The duty cycle is the percentage of time that the signal is ON compared to the time the signal is OFF. The frequency of the signal is constant. The following examples are conditions that are monitored: temperature, pressure, and level. The main display module measures the duty cycle of the output for the PWM sensor. The information is then sent to the quad gauge in order to be shown on one of the gauges. Note: See “Switch Input - Uncommitted” for input operation when the PWM sensor input is programmed to operate as a switch input. Use the Electrical System Schematic of the machine that is being serviced in order to determine the inputs that are programmed. Note: The input from the PWM sensor may be programmed to operate a gauge or an alarm indicator. The sensor can also be programmed to operate both a gauge and an alarm indicator.

Sensor Input - Frequency At each frequency sensor input (connector contacts 26, 30 and 36), an AC signal is present. The signal represents the speed of a machine system. Frequency sensors for engine speed and machine speed provide an AC signal to the main display module. The main display module measures the frequency (Hz) of the AC signals. The information is then sent to the speedometer/tachometer module.

At the input for the alternator terminal “R” (connector contact 30), the terminal “R” of the alternator provides an AC signal to the main display module. The main display module determines the speed of the alternator by measuring the frequency (Hz) of the AC signal. The alternator R terminal helps determine the condition of the electrical charging system. Harness wiring directly connects the alternator terminal “R” to the sensor input for the alternator “R”. The information on the alternator terminal “R” is used with other inputs (engine oil pressure, engine speed, etc) in order to determine when the engine is running.

Sender Input - 0- 240 Ohm Each 0-240 ohm sender input (connector contacts 9 and 18) may be programmed in order to operate as either a sender input or a switch input. A sender input measures a resistance value in order to determine the condition of the system. A resistive fuel level sender (or a component with a similar output signal) provides this information. The output resistance of the fuel level sender corresponds to the depth of fuel within the tank. The main display module measures the resistance value. The information is then sent to the quad gauge in order to be shown on one of the gauges. Note: See “Switch Input - Uncommitted” for input operation when the 0-240 ohm sender input is programmed to operate as a switch input. Use the Electrical System Schematic of the machine that is being serviced in order to determine the inputs that are programmed. Note: The 0-240 ohm sender input may be programmed to operate a gauge or an alarm indicator. The sensor can also be programmed to operate both a gauge and an alarm indicator.

Sender Input - 70-800 Ohm Each 70-800 ohm sender input (connector contacts 8, 10, 28 and 38) may be programmed in order to operate as a sender input, a PWM sensor input or a switch input. The 70-800 ohm sender input measures a resistance value in order to read the condition of the system. The temperature sender (or a component with a similar output signal) provides this information. The output resistance of the temperature sender corresponds to the temperature of the fluid that is being measured. Oil, coolant and hydraulic temperature are examples of fluid temperatures that are measured. The main display module measures the resistance value. The information is then sent to the quad gauge in order to be shown on one of the gauges.

30 Systems Operation Section

Note: The 70-800 ohm sender input may be programmed to operate a gauge or an alarm indicator. The sensor can also be programmed to operate both a gauge and an alarm indicator.

Outputs

Note: See “Sensor Inputs - PWM” for input operation when the 70-800 ohm sender input is programmed to operate as a PWM sensor input. Use the Electrical System Schematic of the machine that is being serviced in order to determine the inputs that are programmed. Note: See “Switch Input - Uncommitted” for input operation when the 70-800 ohm sender input is programmed to operate as a switch input. Use the Electrical System Schematic of the machine that is being serviced in order to determine the inputs that are programmed.

Input - Voltage The input for battery voltage (connector contact 1 and 2) provides the main display module with power. The voltage input is also used by the main display module to monitor the machine electrical system. This information from the voltage helps determine the condition of the electrical system. When an alert indicator is used in order to indicate the voltage of the machine system, the battery signal is combined with the signal for the terminal “R” within the main display module. When an electrical system fault occurs, there are two possible warning categories. The category is set by the type of fault. Category 1 – The frequency for the terminal “R” from the alternator is less than 90 Hz or the system voltage is greater than 29.5 volts for at least 2 seconds. The system voltage is less than 24.8 volts for a least 2 seconds. Category 3 – The system voltage is less than 23.0 volts for at least 2 seconds or the system voltage is greater than 32.0 volts for at least 2 seconds.

Main Display Module (1) Alert Indicators. (2) Display area.

The outputs of the Caterpillar Monitoring System notify the operator of the status of the machine systems. The main display module provides electrical power for the other display modules and the sensors. The following outputs are on the Caterpillar Monitoring System: the display for the main display module, the display data link, the alert indicators, the action lamp, the action alarm, the sensor power supply, and the power supply for the main display module. The outputs on the main display module are the alert indicators (1) and the display area (2). The alert indicators notify the operator of abnormal conditions with the machine. The main display module uses the status of the uncommitted switch inputs, sender inputs and/or sensor inputs in order to determine when an abnormal condition is present. The main display module then FLASHES the appropriate alert indicator. The symbol of the FLASHING alert indicator identifies the responsible machine system. When an alert indicator FLASHES, an abnormal condition exists. For more information, see System Operation, “Warning Operation”. Note: The main display module may use a combination of inputs in order to determine abnormal conditions. For example, engine oil pressure and engine rpm may be used to enable the alert indicator for the machine electrical system. The alert indicator for the machine electrical system will FLASH if an abnormal condition exists on the input for the terminal “R” or the input for +battery.

31 Systems Operation Section

The display area has various symbols that show the condition of the machine systems. The symbols also show information for service and setup. The type of information that is shown on the display depends on the operating mode. For more information about the display area, see System Operation, “Modes of Operation”.

Switches provide information (input) to the main display module. Switches are two state devices. The two states of the switches are open and closed. Closed – The switch connects the control input to frame ground.

33 Systems Operation Section

Open – The switch connects the control input to nothing. (The input is floating.)

Pressure Switch (RH Brake System)

During normal operation, all the switches are closed to ground. When a condition exceeds the trip point of the switch, the switch opens. This tells the main display module of the abnormal condition. The main display module then begins the warning operation and the module notifies the operator of the abnormal condition (problem). Note: For specifications on the switches, see the Electrical System Schematic for that particular machine.

Rocker Switch (Operator Mode Selector) Grounding the operator mode selector switch causes the main display module to scroll through the available operator modes for the machine. Opening the selector switch places the Caterpillar Monitoring System in the currently displayed operator mode. A list of possible operator modes is shown at the beginning of the Modes of Operation section. See the Operation And Maintenance Manual in order to determine the “Operator Modes” that are available for the machine that is being serviced.

Level Sender (Fuel) (1) Sender (2) Schematic symbol

Fuel level sender (1) provides fuel level sensing. A resistive signal which corresponds to the depth of fuel within the fuel tank is sent from the sender to the main display module. Typically, there are two possible types of senders: 0 to 90 ohms and 33 to 240 ohms. The main display module measures the resistance value in order to determine the fuel that is remaining in the tank. Typical gauge readings for the fuel level:

34 Systems Operation Section

• When the fuel tank is at 4% of capacity, the gauge shows that the tank is empty.

Position Sender (Articulation Angle)

• When the fuel tank is at 14% of capacity, the gauge shows the needle at the red zone on the gauge.

• When the fuel tank is at 95% of capacity, the gauge shows that the tank is full.

Temperature sender (2) provides a method for sensing fluid temperature. The temperature sender produces a resistive signal which corresponds to the temperature of the fluid that is being monitored. Typically, the resistance range of the sender is from 70 ohms at 110°C (230°F) to 3000 ohms at 25°C (77°F). The main display module measures the resistance value in order to determine the fluid temperature.

Position sender (2) provides articulation sensing. A resistive signal which corresponds to the articulation angle is sent from the sender to the main display module. The main display module measures the resistance value in order to determine the articulation angle. i01060965

Sensors SMCS Code: 1408-NS

General Information Sensors provide information (input) to the main display module about changing conditions. The sensor signal changes in a proportional manner in order to reflect the changing condition. The main display module shows the information from the sensors on the gauges. The main display module recognizes two types of sensor signals. Frequency – The sensor produces an AC signal. The frequency (Hz) varies as the condition changes. Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) – The sensor produces a digital signal. The duty cycle varies as the condition changes. The frequency of this signal is constant.

Frequency Sensors Frequency sensors produce an AC signal. The frequency (Hz) varies as the condition changes.

Speed sensor (1) is a frequency sensor. Speed sensors are used in order to measure engine speed (RPM) and machine speed (MPH (km/h)). The sensor generates an AC signal from the passing gear teeth. The signal is sent to the main display module. The main display module measures the sensor frequency (one pulse per gear tooth). The main display module determines the engine speed or the machine speed. The speed is then shown on the display. The engine speed sensor is located on the flywheel housing. The speed sensor for the machine is located at the output end of the transmission housing.

Temperature sensor (2) reacts to the temperature of fluids. Examples of the fluids are hydraulic oil, power train oil, and engine coolant. The sensor receives operating power from the main display module (8 DCV) or from the battery (24 DCV). The sensor sends the main display module a PWM signal. The signal changes as the fluid temperature changes. The main display module measures the duty cycle of the sensor signal in order to determine the fluid temperature.

The action lamp connects to an output of the main display module. The action lamp is an LED that is located within the operator’s viewing area. The FLASHING of the action lamp tells the operator that a condition exists. The condition will require changing the operation of the machine. The action lamp is located on the main display module. The action lamp will FLASH whenever a warning category 2, a warning category “2S”, or a warning category 3 problem exists. i01940097

Pressure sensor (2) reacts to the pressure of fluids. The sensor receives operating power from the main display module (8 DCV) or from the battery (24 DCV). The sensor sends the main display module a PWM signal. The signal changes as the fluid pressure changes. The main display module measures the duty cycle of the sensor signal in order to determine the fluid pressure.

The action alarm connects to an output of the main display module. When the action alarm is audible, the machine needs immediate attention. A safe machine shutdown is required. The main display module will sound the action alarm whenever a warning category 3 problem exists. An alarm for a warning category 3 is a pulsating sound. The alarm for a warning category 2S is a continuous tone.

37 Systems Operation Section

The action alarm does not operate when the engine is stopped. The main display module uses functions in order to determine when the engine is running. The following functions are examples: engine oil pressure, alternator speed, and engine speed. If necessary, the action alarm SOUNDS when the main display module decides that the engine is running. i00703569

Related Components SMCS Code: 1408; 7450

Alternator The R terminal of the alternator is connected to an input of the main display module. The main display module monitors the frequency at the R terminal of the alternator. This tells the main display module if the alternator is rotating.

Other Electronic Controls Some machines have electronic control modules that communicate with the main display module. The CAT data link connects these electronic controls together. This connection allows the sharing of information. The following information is an example of the information that is shared: engine oil pressure, harness codes, and diagnostic information. For example, an electronic engine control sends the engine speed information to the main display module over the CAT data link. In this situation, the engine speed sensor is not a Caterpillar Monitoring System component. If there is a problem with the engine speed sensor, the electronic engine control service manual would be used to troubleshoot the speed sensor circuit.

Service Tools SMCS Code: 0785

i01400224

General Information

The following service tools should be used to aid in troubleshooting the electrical system. Table 15

Service Tools

SMCS Code: 7490 Part Number

Troubleshooting the Caterpillar Monitoring System requires additional information from the machine’s Service Manual. The additional manuals that may be required are the Service Manual, the System Schematic, the Parts Manual and the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the machine that is being serviced. As a guide, a typical system schematic is included at the end of this manual. For an accurate representation of the machine that is being diagnosed, refer to Electrical System Schematic in the Service Manual for the machine that is being serviced. When the troubleshooting procedure instructs you to “REPAIR THE HARNESS”, use the Electrical System Schematic for the machine that is being serviced to trace the circuit. Perform continuity checks at the harness connectors in order to locate harness failures. At the connectors of the components, always check the ground circuit. Less than five ohms of resistance is required between the ground contacts of the connector and the frame ground. Excessive ground resistance that is greater than five ohms can cause incorrect diagnosing of problems. During troubleshooting, inspect all connections before any component is replaced. If these connections are not clean and tight, permanent electrical problems or intermittent electrical problems can result. Check that the wires are pushed into the connectors completely. Make sure that the connections are tight before other tests are made. Failure of an electrical component can cause the failure of other components. Also, failure of an electrical component can be caused by the failure of other components. Always attempt to correct the cause of an electrical system failure before you replace a component.

Note: Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) is a software program that can be used on an IBM compatible personal computer. In order to use the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET), order the following materials: Special Publication, JERD2124, “ET Single Use Program License”, Special Publication, JEHP1026, “Information and Requirements Sheet”, 7X-1425 Data Link Cable and the Data Subscription, and Special Publication, JERD2142, “Data Subscription”. The Special Publication, JEHP1026, “Information and Requirements Sheet” lists the required hardware and the features of the ET. The Electronic Technician (ET) is not required in order to determine the diagnostic codes and the ET is not required in order to clear the diagnostic codes. However, the process of determining the diagnostic codes is easier and faster by using the ET. The ET can also display information on the history of a diagnostic code and the parameter status of diagnostic codes. These features allow the ET to be a useful tool for troubleshooting.

Use the digital multimeter for making continuity checks or for measuring voltage. For instructions about the use of the 6V-7070 Digital Multimeter, see Special Instruction, SEHS7734. The 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe measures the voltage at the connectors without disconnecting the connectors. The probe cables are pushed into the back of the connector along the wire. The 8T-8726 Adapter Cable has a 3 pin breakout connector. The adapter cable is used for measurements in the sensor circuits. Note: Except for harness tests, using continuity testers such as the 8T-0500 Continuity Tester or voltage testers such as the 5P-7277 Voltage Tester is not recommended for today’s Caterpillar electrical circuits.

Service Switches During troubleshooting, it is necessary for the service person to use the diagnostic operations of Caterpillar Monitoring System. Service personnel use the service switches in order to access the different display modes of diagnostic operation. The switches are the momentary type of switch. The service personnel activate the switches by pressing and holding. Pressing the clear switch grounds the clear input (contact 33) of the monitor. Pressing the set switch grounds the service switch (contact 23) of the monitor. The location of the service switches will vary depending on the machine that is being serviced. Not all machines are equipped with service switches. For a more accurate location of the service switches, see the Electrical System Schematic in the Service Manual for the machine.

This table pertains only to faults with a MID of 030.

Note: Every machine may not have all of the diagnostic codes that are listed in the preceding table. Also, every machine may not have all the FMI for a given CID. Note: The preceding table shows the diagnostic codes for the Caterpillar Monitoring System. When the Caterpillar Monitoring System is in the service mode, diagnostic codes from the other electronic control modules are shown on the display area of the Caterpillar Monitoring System. The information from the diagnostic code is transferred from other electronic control modules via the CAT data link to the main display module. This diagnostic information is shown when the main display module is in the service mode. The module identifier (MID) indicates the electronic control module that is sending the diagnostic code. The MID for the Caterpillar Monitoring System is “030”. This Service Manual is used for diagnostic codes with a MID of “030”. The MID of other electronic control modules on a particular machine are listed on the Electrical System Schematic. Troubleshooting information for those diagnostic codes can be found in the service manual for that system. Note: When a sensor fault is present, the corresponding warning for that sensor is also activated for the operator. For example, if the signal wire for the engine coolant temperature sensor is shorted to the +battery circuit, then the following actions take place:

• The corresponding diagnostic code is stored in memory.

• The gauge for the engine coolant temperature is indicating in the warning region.

Procedure

Note: The diagnostic scrolling mode may be entered in order to see the diagnostic codes, but the diagnostic codes can be more easily diagnosed by using the service mode. The service mode allows the diagnostic codes to be placed on hold for further investigation. The service mode allows the diagnostic codes to be cleared when the problem has been fixed. 2. The diagnostic code is shown and the diagnostic code is on hold at this time. The display toggles between showing MID (3) and CID (5) and FMI (6). If you are in the service mode and a diagnostic code is not present, “---” will be displayed. 3. In order to view all the diagnostic codes, scroll through the diagnostic codes. In order to scroll through the diagnostic codes, close the service switch. The display momentarily shows MID (3), CID (5) and FMI (6) for each diagnostic code. The word “End” will be shown after the last diagnostic code in the list. 4. Place the desired diagnostic code on hold. In order to place the diagnostic code on hold, open the service switch when the desired diagnostic code is shown.

The following procedures may cause new diagnostic codes to be logged. Therefore, before any procedures are performed make a list of all the active diagnostic codes in order to determine the system problems. Clear the diagnostic codes that were caused by the procedure, when each procedure is complete. Note: Before performing a procedure, always check all the circuit breakers. Repair the cause of any circuit breaker that is tripped. Use the following procedure to troubleshoot diagnostic code information. 1. Place the Caterpillar Monitoring System in service mode (mode 3). In order to place the Caterpillar Monitoring System in service mode, close the service and clear switches. Open the switches when service mode “3” is shown on the display.

5. Use the information from the MID in order to determine the ECM that is generating the diagnostic code. If the MID is not 027, see Electrical System Schematic, “Module Identifier (MID) Table” of the machine that is being serviced. Use the table to determine the ECM that has detected the diagnostic code. Then see the service manual module for that electronic control. If the MID is 082, use this Service Manual Module to troubleshoot the diagnostic code that generated the diagnostic code. 6. Observe the “SERV CODE” indicator (4). In the service mode, the “SERV CODE” indicator functions as a “SERV CODE” indicator.

• If the “SERV CODE” indicator (4) shows

“SERV CODE”, then the failure that caused the diagnostic code that is shown is currently present.

• If the “SERV CODE” indicator (4) is OFF, then

the diagnostic code that caused the diagnostic code that is shown is not present at this time.

7. See the corresponding test in order to troubleshoot the diagnostic code. Use the Service Manual for the ECM that is generating the diagnostic code. 8. After a diagnostic code is corrected, clear the diagnostic code. In order to clear the diagnostic code, close the clear switch while the diagnostic code is on hold. After clearing, the display advances to the next available diagnostic code.

Diagnostic System Procedures

B. Place a jumper wire from the signal wire to the ground wire. (If a ground wire is not present, connect the signal wire to frame ground.) i01432657

Expected Result:

Alert Indicator Is Always Flashing

The alert indicator continues FLASHING.

SMCS Code: 7400-038-IND

• YES – The alert indicator continues FLASHING.

System Operation Description: This procedure is for the parameter that has the alert indicator which is FLASHING constantly. This condition is caused by an undesired open circuit or a failed main display module. The main display module is unable to identify system errors in simple circuits. No service code is available in order to assist the operator with troubleshooting. A possible problem exists when the operation of an alert indicator does not correspond to a known condition of the machine. For example, the alert indicator always FLASHES regardless of the actual pressure of the engine oil. Before you start troubleshooting, ensure that a diagnostic code exists. For a description of normal conditions that cause these events, see the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the machine that is being serviced. Perform the following procedures only if a fault is suspected. Note: The indicator reflects the open or grounded condition of the switch inputs. When a switch input is open, the corresponding alert indicator FLASHES. When a switch input is grounded, the corresponding alert indicator is OFF. Therefore, in order to check a circuit, the service person opens the switch. Then, the service person grounds the switch. This is done while the service person is watching for the correct result on the alert indicator.

Results: The machine harness is open or the main display module has failed. Proceed to test step 3.

• NO – The alert indicator stops FLASHING. The

circuit is operating correctly. The switch has failed. Repair: Check or replace the switch. STOP.

Test Step 3. CHECK THE HARNESS. A. Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the OFF position. B. On the Electrical System Schematic, trace the signal wire from the switch to the main display module. C. Determine the signal contact (connector contact) of the machine harness at the main display module. D. Disconnect the machine harness from the main display module. E. At the machine harness connector for the main display, check for continuity between the signal contact and contact 2 or frame ground if a ground wire is not present at contact 2. (The jumper is in place from the previous test.)

Test Step 1. LOCATE THE SWITCH.

Expected Result:

A. Locate the switch which corresponds to the parameter that always FLASHES the alert indicator. (If necessary, use the Electrical System Schematic in order to assist in locating the switch.)

The resistance is greater than 5.0 ohms.

Expected Result: The appropriate switch is located. Results:

•

OK – The appropriate switch is located. Proceed to test step 2.

Test Step 2. CHECK THE HARNESS. A. Disconnect the signal wire from the switch.

Results:

• YES – The resistance is greater than 5 ohms. Repair: Repair the harness or replace the harness. STOP.

• NO – The resistance is less than 5 ohms. The harness is not causing the problem. The main display module has failed.

72 Troubleshooting Section

Repair: It is unlikely that the main display module has failed. Exit this procedure and perform this procedure again. Also, recheck if the diagnostic code indicator is illuminated for this diagnostic code. If the cause of the diagnostic code is not found, replace the main display module. See Testing and Adjusting, “Module - Replace”. STOP.

Expected Result: The alert indicator is FLASHING. Results:

• YES – The alert indicator FLASHES. The circuit is operating correctly. The switch has failed.

Repair: Repair the switch or replace the switch. i01432665

Alert Indicator Never Flashes SMCS Code: 7450-038-IND System Operation Description: The main display module is unable to identify system errors in simple circuits. No service code is available in order to assist the operator with troubleshooting. A possible failure exists when the operation of an alert indicator does not correspond to a known condition of the machine. For example, the alert indicator never FLASHES regardless of the actual pressure of the engine oil. Before you start troubleshooting, ensure that a problem exists. For a description of normal conditions that cause these events, see the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the machine that is being serviced. Perform the following procedures only if a failure is suspected. The indicator reflects the open or grounded condition of the switch inputs. When a switch input is open, the corresponding alert indicator FLASHES. When a switch input is grounded, the corresponding alert indicator is OFF. Therefore, in order to check a circuit, the service person opens the switch. Then, the service person grounds the switch. This is done while the service person is watching for the correct result on the alert indicator.

STOP.

• NO – The alert indicator does NOT FLASH. The circuit has failed. The signal wire is probably shorted to ground. Proceed to test step 3.

Test Step 3. CHECK THE HARNESS A. Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the OFF position. B. The signal wire remains disconnected from the switch. Do not allow the signal wire to touch any objects. C. On the Electrical System Schematic, trace the signal wire from the switch to the main display module. D. Determine the signal contact (connector contact) of the machine harness at the main display module. E. Disconnect the machine harness from the main display module. F. At the machine harness connector for the display module, check for continuity between the signal contact and contact 2 or frame ground if a ground wire is not present at contact 2.

Test Step 1. LOCATE THE SWITCH

Expected Result:

A. Locate the switch for the alert indicator that never flashes. (If necessary, use the Electrical System Schematic to assist in locating the switch.)

The resistance is greater than 5000 ohms.

Expected Result:

• YES – The resistance is greater than 5000 ohms.

The switch is located. Results:

• OK – The switch is located. Proceed to test step 2. Test Step 2. CHECK THE HARNESS. A. Disconnect the signal wire from the switch.

Results: The harness is not causing the failure. The main display module has failed.

Repair: It is unlikely that the main display module has failed. Exit this procedure and perform this procedure again. Also, recheck if the diagnostic code indicator is illuminated for this diagnostic code. If the cause of the diagnostic code is not found, replace the main display module. See Testing and Adjusting, “Module - Replace”. STOP.

Main display module is in the Harness Code Mode (Mode 1). For machines so equipped. For machines without a harness code plug, permanent harness code connections are in the machine harness. O = open G = grounded

Before you perform this procedure, determine the proper machine code. The main display module must have the correct part number for the particular machine. If the machine code is not shown correctly, this procedure determines the component that is malfunctioning. This failure could be caused by a failure in the main display module, a wrong harness code plug or a harness that has failed.

C. Check for continuity between the connector contacts that are grounded contacts and contact 2 (ground). Check for continuity at the machine harness connector for the main display module.

Note: The harness code and the machine code are similar terms. The codes describe the particular machine. The harness code is the status (open or ground) of the six harness code inputs (connector contacts 3, 6, 12, 16, 22 and 31). The main display module assigns a number to a machine. This number is the machine code. The machine code is shown during harness code mode. Each sales model has a specific harness code. Therefore, each sales model also has a specific machine code. The specific machine code is listed in Systems Operation, “Harness Code Mode”. The specific harness code is given in the Electrical System Schematic.

Results:

Note: The following procedure checks for incorrect harness codes on the inputs for the main display module. Compare the status of the harness code that is found in the test “Determine the machine code” to the status at the inputs for the main display module. The table identifies the connector contacts and wire identification of the harness code circuits. Contacts that are specified as grounded contacts should be checked for opens in the harness. Contacts that are specified as open contacts should be checked for shorts in the harness.

Test Step 1. CHECK FOR OPENS A. Turn the disconnect switch to the OFF position. B. Disconnect the machine harness from the main display module.

Expected Result: The resistance measures 5.0 Ohms or less.

• YES – The resistance is 5.0 Ohms or less. The

circuit for the harness code is not open. No defect was found in the ground circuits for the harness code. Proceed to test step 2.

• NO – The resistance is greater than 5.0 Ohms.

The circuit for the harness code is open. Check the harness code plug on so equipped machines. Record the open contact of the machine harness connector. Repair: Repair the open circuits for the harness code that is found or replace the machine harness. If conditions are not resolved, proceed to test step 2.

Test Step 2. CHECK FOR SHORTS A. The disconnect switch remains in the OFF position. The machine harness to the main display module remains disconnected. B. Measure the resistance between the connector contacts that are specified as open contacts and contact 2 (ground). Measure the resistance at the machine harness connector for the main display module.

Note: In addition to these tests, the Caterpillar Monitoring System diagnostics are helpful for troubleshooting sensors. Numeric readout mode shows a numeric value of the information from each sensor input. For a detailed explanation, refer to Systems Operation, “Numeric Readout Mode”. When you are testing a sensor, it is necessary to identify the connector contacts and the harness wires. The Electrical System Schematic shows the connector contact numbers and corresponding wire numbers. See the Electrical System Schematic in the Service Manual for the machine. On all machines, the wire numbers and connector contacts are identified by these general rules:

• The “+V” wire numbers are from 100 to 199. The “+V” contact corresponds to this wire number.

• The ground wire number is between 200 and

299. The ground contact corresponds to this wire number.

• The wire number for the signal circuits is from 400

to 499. The signal contact corresponds to this wire number.

For an example, see Illustration 82:

• The “+V” wire is wire number 113. • The “+V” contact is contact “A”. • The ground wire is wire number 201.

77 Troubleshooting Section

• The ground contact is contact “B”.

Repair: If the sensor and the harness are correct, it is likely that the main display module has failed. Replace the main display module. See Testing and Adjusting, “Module - Replace”.

• The signal wire is wire number 443. • The signal contact is contact “C”.

If desired, use these specifications with the following procedure. These voltages are guidelines for troubleshooting and are not considered exact. The tolerance is ± 10%, depending on the condition of the harness. Most important is that the output voltage changes smoothly as the temperature changes.

To use the following procedure, it is necessary to know the connector contact of the main display module and the contact that corresponds to the service code. See the Electrical System Schematic in the Service Manual for the machine in order to determine the proper connector contact of the main display module. Use the 7X-1710 Cable Probe on the connector contact of the sensor signal wire on the main display module. Note: The sensors are provided power from the main display module . Therefore, the main display module must be connected in order for the sensors to function. Two items are checked in this test:

• A sensor signal is present at the main display module.

• For an increase and/or a decrease in the system that is being monitored, the signal voltage will increase and/or the signal voltage will decrease.

81 Troubleshooting Section

Test Step 1. CHECK THE INITIAL SIGNAL VOLTAGE. A. The engine coolant and the temperature sensors should be below operating temperature. B. Ensure that the engine coolant and temperature sensors are below normal. Ensure that the key switch is OFF and that the sensor is connected to the machine harness. C. Turn the key switch to the ON position. DO NOT START THE ENGINE.

B. At the machine harness connector for the main display module, measure the voltage (DCV) between the signal contact and frame ground. C. For the correct operation, the voltage (DCV) is greater (and increases smoothly without step increases) than the voltage that was recorded in the previous test “Check the initial signal voltage”. Note: The larger the change in the system that is being monitored, the greater the difference between the voltages of this test “Check the signal voltage with new conditions” and the previous test “Check the initial signal voltage”.

D. At the machine harness connector for the main display module, measure the voltage and record the voltage (DCV) between the signal contact and frame ground. For correct operation, the approximate voltage is between 1.0 and 7.0 DCV. For the 3E-5370 and 131-0784 Temperature Sensor Groups the approximate voltage is between 1.0 and 9.0 DCV.

• OK – The voltage increase during the test

Note: When precise specifications for the signal voltage are necessary, use the specifications that are listed in the provided tables.

• NO – The approximate voltage is NOT between

1.0 and 7.0 DCV. For the 3E-5370 and 131-0784 Temperature Sensor Groups the approximate voltage is NOT between 1.0 and 9.0 DCV. The signal voltage to the main display module is not correct. The probable cause is a failed sensor. Repair: The sensor has failed. Replace the sensor. STOP.

Test Step 2. CHECK THE SIGNAL VOLTAGE WITH THE NEW CONDITIONS. A. Increase the temperature, the pressure or the fuel level of the system that is being tested. The following procedures are examples: run the engine in order to increase the engine coolant temperature, operate the implement controls in order to increase the hydraulic oil temperature, and add fuel in order to increase the fuel level.

Charging System SMCS Code: 1406-038 System Operation Description: Often when problems with the charging system are being investigated, the alternator is not the problem. If a low battery condition is present test the batteries first. See Special Instruction, SEHS7633, “Battery Test Procedure” for more information. If the engine cranks slowly, then test the starting system. See Service Magazine, SEPD0020, “Testing The Starter On The Engine” for more information. If a warning indicator for the charging system is ON, see Service Magazine, SEBD1751, “Difference Between Alternator Indicator In Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) And Low Voltage Indicator In Operating Monitoring System (OMS)”. Note: Severely discharged batteries can cause low system voltage. This can occur even while the engine is running above idle, and the alternator is working properly. Proper low engine idle is also important.

Module - Replace SMCS Code: 7490-510 Prior to replacement of a module, ensure that replacement is absolutely necessary. A diagnostic code is seldom caused by the module. Always ensure that the machine code is correct for the machine. Also ensure that the power is available to the main display module. The system voltage is required between the contacts 1 and 2 of the connector for the main display module. To check the machine code, see System Operation, “Harness Code Mode”.

Procedure 1. Replace the module. a. Turn the key start switch to the OFF position. b. Disconnect the machine harness from the module. c. Ensure that the module that is replacing the old module has the correct part number. d. Install the new module. Note: If the main display module that is replacing the old module was previously removed from service, see Testing and Adjusting, “Main Display Module Initialization - Adjust”. e. Connect the machine harness to the module. On so equipped machines, make sure that the harness code plug is installed. f. Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switches to the ON position.

Main Display Module Initialization - Adjust SMCS Code: 7490-025 The initialization is an internal process within the main display module. During the initialization, the main display module listens to the CAT data link and the harness code inputs. From this information, the module learns about the machine. For example, the module learns that the information for the engine oil pressure is coming from an engine ECM. Normally, the initialization occurs when the main display module is replaced. Also, the initialization occurs when there is a change in the harness code. However, when a previously used main display module is used as a replacement, initialization could be necessary. Faults that can not be explained with the CAT data link can occur if the main display module is not initialized correctly. The service person must activate the initialization when the main display module has been previously used. Initialization is used if the module was taken out of an application that had the same machine code as the main display module that is to be removed.

98 Testing and Adjusting Section

Procedure For Initialization This procedure causes the initialization to occur on any main display module. Initialization requires that the main display module be powered up with a valid harness code that is different than the harness code when it was last powered down. For a list of valid harness codes, see the table for Machine Codes in System Operation, “Harness Code Mode”. 1. Code input configuration. a. Turn the key start switch to the OFF position.

Then, the display automatically advances to the next set. After all sets have been shown, the sets are repeated. Sender – This is a device that changes resistance according to a physical condition. The sender then sends a signal to a gauge. A single connection provides the signal and the power. Sensor – This is a device that monitors the physical condition of a machine system. The sensors can monitor the conditions that are listed here: pressure, temperature, flow, and mechanical movement. The sensors convert the condition into an electrical signal that can be understood by an electronic control. Service Code – This is a type of maintenance code that describes a condition that has been identified by an electronic control system. The code indicates when service is required. This code is stored in the control for the service technician. This term was previously referred to as a fault code. This code is now referred to as a service type of maintenance event. Service Tool – This is a tool that is used in order to service Caterpillar machines. This term most often refers to the service equipment that is listed here: Electronic Control Analyzer Programmer (ECAP), Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET), a digital multimeter, and laptop computer This may also refer to any other dedicated service equipment. Short Circuit – A connection between two points in a circuit that is normally unwanted. Show – This pertains to information that is within the Caterpillar Monitoring System display area that is viewed by the operator or a service person. Signal – This is the changing voltage that is used to carry information. A signal is typically sent from a sensor to an electronic control. For example, a signal is sent from the transmission output speed sensor (TOS) to the transmission control. Signal Wire – This is the harness wire that carries the signal voltage to the electronic control. The signal is sent by any of the components that are listed here: a sensor, a switch, and any other similar components.

101 Testing and Adjusting Section

Speedometer/Tachometer Module – This is a display module that contains the components that are listed here: a speedometer for machine ground speed, a tachometer for engine speed, and a display for actual gear. Switch Input – This is an input to an ECM. This input may be ground. The input may be open. The input may be positive voltage (+battery). System Voltage – System voltage is the actual voltage that exists between the positive battery post and the frame ground. The system voltage is referred to as the + battery. Temperature Sensor – This is a device that generates a signal that is proportional to the change in temperature. Uncommitted Switch Input – Uncommitted switch inputs are switch inputs that function according to the application. Information from the uncommitted switch inputs is typically used to operate the alert indicators. Undetected Problem – This is a problem that is not detected by the main display module, but the problem is found by the operator or by a service technician. The many diagnostic functions of the main display module assist with the troubleshooting of undetected problems. +V – This pertains to a constant voltage that is supplied to a component. +V is provided by an electronic control module or the battery. i01857510
