(5) J1939 shift selector

(6) Hazardous area shift selector

(7) Messenger

Engine ECM (1) communicates to the following components via J1939 (3) : transmission ECM (2), J1939 shift selector (5), hazardous area shift selector (6) and messenger (7). Transmission ECM (2) communicates with hazardous area shift selector (6) and messenger (7) via Cat Data Link (CDL) (4) .

Single Hazardous Area Shift Selector Requirements

Only one hazardous area shift selector may be installed on a J1939 network at any given time. In an application that requires multiple shift selectors, the other shift selectors must be second-generation push-button shift selectors such as part number 298-3860 Transmission Control Gp or a custom OEM J1939 shifter (PLC or others.)

Note: The first generation push-button shifter ( 255-6262 320-2891 Transmission Control Gp ) is not compatible with the hazardous location shifter. Transmission model-specific Application and Installation Guides should be referenced to facilitate design of a custom OEM J1939 shifter.

Shift Selector Power-Up

The hazardous area shift selector takes extra time to reach an operable state at keyswitch due to hardware requirements. Because of this situation, the transmission may not allow the starter relay to be enabled until the ECM is properly communicating with the shift selector. The operator may see a delay between the physical turning of the keyswitch to the start arrangement and the starter cranking.

System Schematic

The following simplified electrical schematics are electrically correct. The schematics do not show all related electrical systems on the machine. For a complete Electrical System Schematic of a particular machine, always refer to the Electrical System Schematic in the Service Manual for your machine.

Shift Selector Display

Shift Selector

The shift selector is used to control the operation of the transmission.

Operation

Buttons are provided on the shift selector to allow operator control of the gear range for the transmission. These buttons are labeled on the left side of the display and are available to be selected in every operating state of the shift selector. These buttons operate the same as a normal push-button shift selector. A single press and release of a button will send a request via J1939 (3) to transmission ECM (2) for the selected gear range.

Buttons

The display is able to provide five buttons on both sides of the screen. The five buttons on the left side of the display are used to control the transmission gear range. The five buttons are labeled as the following: Reverse or Mode, Neutral, Drive, Up and Down.

Inactive Shift Selector




Illustration 3g02162694

The shift selector can provide visual confirmation of whether the shift selector is considered active or not. In a dual shift selector application, only one shift selector can be used at any given time. Transmission ECM (2) will only respond to selections on the active shift selector. Transmission ECM (2) will ignore selections on the inactive shift selector. When hazardous area shift selector (6) is not the active shift selector, the background button labels will change to a darker state. Refer to Illustration 3.

Menu Navigation Buttons

Arrows

The arrow buttons, on the right side, allow the user to navigate through the menu and submenus. Each button has a combination of functions and may be used differently depending on the menu currently displayed. When navigating the menu structure or setting values such as units or language, the arrows are used in an up and down manner. When setting contrast or brightness, the arrows are used in a left and right manner.

Return and Menu

The "Return" button allows the user to navigate back a screen or up a level. In a submenu, the "Return" button would return the operator to the main menu. While in the main menu, the "Return" button would return the user to the home screen. Pressing the "Return" button on the home screen will bring up the main menu.

Home

The "Home" button allows the user to return to the home screen immediately after the button is pressed. If the operator is in a submenu, pressing the "Home" button will exit all menu levels and navigate directly to the home screen. If the operator enters the menu again, the main menu will appear. The menu will not be placed in the same submenu that was displayed before the home button was pressed.

OK

The "Ok" button selects the current value and configures the shift selector to the desired operation.

Main Menu




Illustration 4g02162960

The main menu displays all of the information contained on the shift selector as well as provide access to configurable settings. Refer to Illustration 4. The main menu is entered by pressing the "Return" button while on the home screen.

Key Engine Data

Key engine data provides basic information about the current state of the engine.

Key Transmission Data

Key transmission data provides basic information about the current state of the transmission.

Mode Request or Reverse Request

The purpose of the main menu selection "Reverse / Mode" request is to provide access to all features normally available on a push-button shift selector. Depending on the properties selected in the button settings menu, a selection will be provided for the enabling or disabling of the unselected option.

If operation requires the "Reverse" button to be on the main screen, the "Mode Request" option will be available in the main menu. If operation requires the "Mode Request" button to be on the main screen, the "Reverse" option will be available in the main menu. This option allows the occasional selection of mode or reverse, if needed, without having to reconfigure the button settings.

Service Menu

The service menu contains several submenus which contain information about the engine and transmission. Each submenu is defined by the type of information contained. This menu is provided for a service technician who may need information beyond the scope of the key engine or transmission data screens.

Diagnostics

The diagnostic screen displays information about diagnostics or events currently active or logged on J1939 or CAT Data Link (CDL). This screen lists all of the events with basic information about each. Every item is identified by the following information: the source of the message, the code and the current state. If an event is active, an "X" will be placed in the active column. Pressing the "OK" button will display details about the selected diagnostics if details are available for that particular code.

Settings

The shift selector has configurable settings which may be adjusted based on user preference.

Setting Menu

The settings submenu allows the operator to select physical properties which are most useful for the conditions in which the operator is working.

Operation

Each setting may be adjusted between predetermined values or limits. Values outside the range are not allowed.

Contrast/Brightness




Illustration 5g02163168

The value may be adjusted between 0 and 100%. 0% refers to minimal display output, and 100% is full intensity. To keep the screen visible and readable, the range of values does not allow the user to lighten or darken the screen beyond certain points .

Units

Units may be adjusted between Metric and English.

Language

Language options may be available. English is programmed by default.

Button Settings

Button settings will determine which type of command should be the top button on the shift selector. The top button selected can be Reverse or Transmission Mode 1.

Button Settings

This function allows the operator to select which request would be most valuable to have on the main screen, assigned to the top button.

Operation

The shift selector will display the correct label and transmit the information that corresponds to the selection over J1939 to the transmission. The selection will stay in memory until the setting is reprogrammed or the shift selector is flashed.

Mode Selection




Illustration 6g02178352

(8) Button

If "Mode" is selected as the desired setting, an icon will appear on the top button confirming the selection. Pressing button (8) will toggle between "Mode" enable or disable.

The operation of "Mode" is determined by the transmission configuration. For example, "Mode" may be used to enable Fuel Economy mode. If the transmission has received the "Mode" request and has enabled the feature, button (8) will be illuminated green. Refer to Illustration 6. Button (8) is the "Mode" indicator. The "Mode" indicator provides feedback to the operator that the feature was enabled. The "Mode" indicator status may be found on the home screen or the top bar when the operator is in a menu.

Reverse Selection




Illustration 7g02339505

(8) Button

If "Reverse" is selected as the desired setting, an "R" icon will appear on the top button confirming the selection. Pressing button (8) will cause the shift selector to send out a reverse request message to the transmission.

Home Screen

Purpose

The home screen is the default screen during shift selector operation. The home screen displays key information and maximizes display size of important parameters. Larger display size allows an operator, who may not be close to the display, to know the state of the transmission.

Operation

At power up, the shift selector will default to the home screen unless operator input causes the shift selector to enter a menu screen. Pressing the home button will cause the shift selector to go directly to the home screen. The home button will not allow an operator to skip past any diagnostic alarms that may appear.

Requested and Current Gear Display

Requested range and current gear values are displayed at the top of the screen in larger characters. These values indicate the operating state of the transmission. These two values are the same characters that are displayed on any current push button or lever shift selector. These values may decrease in size to make room for menu selections or diagnostic alarms.

Status Values

Several transmission and engine status values are indicated on the home screen. Key information about the operating state is reflected in these values to the operator. The operator may need to use this information during normal operation.

Diagnostics

A single status value indicates the status of diagnostics that are currently received by the shift selector. This status value will be indicated as "None" if no diagnostics have been received. This status value will be indicated as "Active" if diagnostics or events are currently happening. This status value will be indicated as "Logged" if a diagnostic or event has been logged. A single active event or diagnostics will cause this value to be displayed over the logged or none states.

Oil Level Check

Note: The value given by the shift selector may not match the dipstick measurement. The oil level check routine is an estimate based on current conditions. The user or technician is responsible for checking the transmission oil manually. Consult the transmission service manual for specific instructions on checking oil level.

The oil level check routine is a method of gathering information about the status of the transmissions oil level using the shift selector. If an oil level sensor is installed on the transmission, information about the sensor will be displayed on the shift selector.

Before performing an oil level check, several conditions must be met before a reading is considered valid. The transmission or vehicle must meet the following conditions:

  • Machine or transmission in neutral

  • The requested gear is neutral

  • No vehicle speed or transmission output speed

  • Level ground

  • Valid temperature ranges for an oil check

If these conditions are not met, the oil level check will not continue. The requirement that is not met will display in the "Oil Level Measurement" status value as follows:

  • Engine Speed Low

  • Engine Speed High

  • Transmission Temperature High

  • Transmission Temperature Low

  • Vehicle Not Level

  • Output Speed High

  • Transmission In Gear

If conditions are considered valid, then a timer will start displaying. The transmission requires time to analyze the readings and receive an accurate value. The amount of time remaining will be displayed at the bottom of the screen under "Timer Status". The timer is not an active countdown and will only display the number of minutes left until the check is complete. If there is less than 1 minute left, the status will display "< 1 Minute". When the countdown is finished, the shift selector will display how many quarts of oil the transmission is high or low.

Warning Operation

Purpose

The purpose of diagnostic pop-ups and alarms are to alert the operator of active diagnostics or events.

Operation




Illustration 8g02162902

The shift selector is always receiving diagnostic information from several sources on the datalinks. When diagnostics or events are active, the shift selector will alert the operator by displaying the diagnostic information. Refer to Illustration 8. The operator must acknowledge the alert by pressing the "OK" button for each diagnostic. The operator is still able to select gear ranges without pressing the "OK" button when a diagnostic or event is active. As long as the diagnostic or event is active, the shift selector will periodically bring up the alarm, prompting the operator to press "OK". Once the diagnostic is no longer active, or is considered logged, the alarm will no longer appear. However, viewing logged diagnostic codes and events is available on the diagnostics screen available through the main menu. The diagnostic alarm will display the diagnostics and the source of the diagnostics. If the shift selector recognizes the diagnostic, the shift selector will display component and failure information to the operator. If the shift selector does not recognize the diagnostic, the shift selector will notify the operator of an unknown component failure.

Note: Transmission diagnostics are communicated through Cat Data Link (CDL), reproducing the same codes as would be displayed with the transmission in Cat Electronic Technician. The engine diagnostics are reported through the J 1939 data link.

Electrical and Electronic Installation Guide

This section discusses the general standards of electrical and electronic installation of the ECM.

Hazardous Location Wiring Requirements

The power and signal connections of this shifter should be treated as incendive circuits and wired as per the wiring requirements of the area in which the shifter will be installed. Depending on the area classification, the following may be required: that the connectors meet IP54, have suitable impact resistance or protection from impact, be flame retardant, be separated physically from non-incendive circuits and run in conduit or extra-hard usage cable. Refer to the relevant hazardous area field wiring standards for more information. Caterpillar recommends the use of a 2A fuse on the power supply.

Grounding Requirements and Considerations

The shift selector ECM requires unswitched power and ground connections. An Ignition Key Switch input is used to wake up the ECM.

Other grounding considerations:

  • When installing in hazardous locations, the relevant wiring standards may include requirements with respect to the provision of grounding cables within harnesses.

  • Have frame grounds as close to battery as possible.

  • Have ground strap across articulation joints.

  • Engine connection to vehicle battery ground.

ECM Negative Battery Connections

Caterpillar requires the OEM to install the ECM "- Battery" wires into the harness connector.

Sensor Common Connections

Only those components interfacing directly to the ECM should be connected to the ECM Sensor Commons.

Suppression Of Voltage Transients and Electrical Noise

Caterpillar recommends that transient suppression is installed at the source of the transient in addition to the suppression in the ECM. Caterpillar controls are designed to comply with SAE J1455. The use of inductive devices such as relays and solenoids can result in the generation of voltage transients on the battery lines. Unsuppressed voltage transients can exceed SAE J1455 specifications and degrade control system performance.

Some specific devices that should use transient suppression are fan clutch solenoids, A/C clutch solenoids, and all relays. This list is not an all-inclusive list. The OEM should specify relays and solenoids with built-in voltage transient suppression on the vehicle where possible.




Illustration 13g02160531

Examples of Voltage Transient Suppression

See Illustration 13 for an example of several possible suppression techniques. The suppression will minimize the generation of voltage transients from relays and solenoids without built-in voltage transient suppression. This method includes but is not limited to, installing a properly sized diode or resistor in parallel with solenoid and relay coils.

Inductive devices should be located to maximize the distance from control system components. OEM installed wiring harnesses should be routed to maximize the distance from the control system wiring harness to avoid inductive coupling of noise transients.

Voltage Requirements and Considerations

The control system has been designed to operate on a 12 V or 24 V electrical systems. Minimum and maximum voltage requirements for the control system are as follows:

Table 3
Nominal (V)     Range (V)    
12 to 24     9 to 32    

Welding on a Vehicle

Note: Before you weld on a vehicle that is equipped with an electronic transmission control, the following precautions must be observed:

  1. Place the ignition switch in the OFF arrangement.

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. If the vehicle is equipped with a battery disconnect switch, open the switch.


    NOTICE

    DO NOT use electrical components in order to ground the welder. Do not use the ECU or sensors or any other electronic component in order to ground the welder. Clamp the ground cable for the welder to the component that will be welded. Place that clamp as close as possible to the weld. This method will reduce the possibility of damage to the bearings of the drive train, hydraulic components, ground straps, and other components of the vehicle.


  1. Clamp the ground cable of the welder to the component that will be welded. Place the clamp as close as possible to the weld.

  1. Protect any wiring harnesses from welding debris and spatter. Use proper welding procedures in order to weld the materials.

    ReferenceRefer to Special Instruction, REHS1841, "General Welding Procedures" for additional information.

Connectors and Wiring

Harness and Connector Wiring Guidelines

A good general rule of thumb for wiring harnesses is, If a harness moves, do not let the harness touch anything. If the harness touches, do not allow the harness to move. Below are some guidelines for machine wiring harness design and routing:

  1. Wires or harnesses that lead to a component connector must be clipped within 150 mm (5.9 inch) of the connector.

  1. Connectors must be mounted or clipped. Clipping connectors means tie wrapping the connectors down or preferably using the dovetail mounting method for the DT connectors. If a tie wrap is used, the tie wrap must not be placed over the connector detention release mechanism.

  1. Tie-wraps should only be used on harnesses that DO NOT MOVE.

  1. Harnesses that move such as flex joints, should be secured with insulated "P" clips.

  1. Flex joints must not be in column loading. This method can force movements through clips and can also fatigue wires.

  1. Connectors must not be placed in flex joints.

  1. Breakouts must not be placed in flex joints.

  1. Flex joints should incorporate a bend to facilitate bending/flexing.

  1. Battery cables should not be secured with tie wraps. Use only "P" clips or Stauff clamps.

  1. Distance between clip points should not allow the harness to sag, sway, or touch anything due to machine movement or vibration.

  1. Smaller harnesses should be clipped more often due to the flexibility of the harness.

  1. Do not route harnesses in area that is expected to or could be used as a step or standing location.

  1. Do not locate harnesses, wires, and cables under filters or drains.

  1. Do not locate harnesses, wires, and cables in areas where the harnesses can be used as handhold.

  1. Do not clip harnesses, wires, and cables to hose or tubes.

  1. Pay close attention to the routing of the "B+" and "B-" battery cables.

  1. Add covers or boots on high-power terminals and connectors.

Connectors




Illustration 15g02160540

Pull Test

The pull test is used to verify that the wire is properly crimped in the terminal and the terminal is properly inserted in the connector.

Perform the pull test on each wire. Each terminal (socket or pin) and each connector should easily withstand 45 N (10 lb) of pull and each wire should remain in the connector body.

Installation of Terminals and Seal Plugs




Illustration 16g02160544

Caterpillar requires sealing plugs for all unused connector cavities. Correct installation of the cavity plugs is critical to maintain connector sealing integrity. The illustration below indicates correct insertion of the plug. The plug cap is designed to rest against the seal, not inserted into the hole in the seal.

The following requirements ensure the correct installation of terminals in the connectors:

  • Do not solder the sockets and pins to the wires.

  • Never crimp more than one wire into a socket or a pin. The 186-3735 Connector Pin and the 186-3736 Connector Socket are designed to accept only one 16 or 18 AWG wire. The 9W-0844 Connector Socket and the 9W-0852 Connector Pin are designed to accept only one 14 AWG wire. Do NOT insert multiple wires of a smaller gauge.

  • All sockets and pins should be crimped on the wires. Use the 1U-5804 Crimp Tool for 12 to 26 AWG wire.

  • All unused cavities for sockets and pins must be filled with 8T-8737 Seal Plugs in order to ensure that the connector is sealed. The seal plugs must be installed from the wire insertion side of the plug or receptacle. The seal plugs must seal correctly. The head of the seal plug should rest against the seal. Do not insert the head of the seal plug into the seal. Refer to Illustration 16 for correct installation of plugs.

Deutsche DT Connectors

A DT connector has a wedge that locks the pins and the sockets in place. The wedge can be removed and replaced without cutting the wires. The 147-6456 Wedge Removal Tool (DT Connector) aids in the removal of the wedges. When the receptacle is inserted into the plug, a click should be heard as the two halves lock together. The connector should not pull apart. The acceptable range for the diameter of the insulation on the wire that is used with the DT connectors is 2.24 to 3.81 mm (0.088 to 0.150 inch).

Inspect the plug and the receptacle in order to ensure that the following conditions are met:

  • The connector seals are seated.

  • The pins and sockets are not damaged.

  • The pins and the sockets are securely installed on the wires. Perform the 44.5 N (10 lb) pull test.

  • The correct number of pins and sockets exist on both halves of the connector.

  • The pins align correctly with the sockets.

  • The locking tabs are not damaged. Replace the connector if the tab is damaged.

  • The wedges are not damaged.

Deutsche HD Connectors

Ensure that the wires in the plug align with the corresponding wires in the receptacle. Make sure to align the index markings on the plug and the receptacle. Rotate the plug until the plug slips into the receptacle. Rotate the coupling by approximately 90 degrees until a click is heard. Ensure that the plug and the receptacle cannot be pulled apart. The acceptable range for the diameter of the insulation of the wire that is used with the connectors is 2.54 to 3.94 mm (0.100 to 0.155 inch).

Heat Shrink Tubing for Wiring

The Caterpillar supplied engine wiring harness must not be spliced into or modified in any way that may affect the engine operation. Caterpillar recommends sealing all ring terminals and splices on the customer side of the J61/P61 customer connector. Seal the terminals with Raychem ES2000 adhesive lined heat shrink tubing, or an equivalent substitute. Refer to Table 4.

Grounding


NOTICE

Improper grounding can cause uncontrolled or unreliable circuit paths and electrical noise. This situation can result in damage to components. Proper grounding of the unit and the electrical systems is necessary for proper performance and reliability. Improper grounding results in unreliable electrical circuit paths. Improper grounding may also cause electrical noise, which may degrade the performance of the control system. Diagnosing and repairing these problems is often difficult.

Troubleshooting Section

General Information

The diagnostics for an ECM can be accessed through the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET). Troubleshooting a system requires additional information from the vehicle Service Manual. The additional manuals that may be required are the Machine Monitor System, the Electrical System Schematic, the Parts Manual, and the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the vehicle that is being serviced.

As a reference, a simplified system schematic is included at the end of this manual. For an accurate representation of the vehicle that is being diagnosed, refer to Electrical System Schematic in the Service Manual for the vehicle that is being serviced.

When the troubleshooting procedure instructs you to "REPAIR THE HARNESS OR REPLACE THE HARNESS", use the Electrical System Schematic for the vehicle 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. There must be less than 5 ohms of resistance between any system ground and the frame ground. Excessive ground resistance that is greater than 5 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.

If wire insulation is punctured during troubleshooting, repair the damage. Seal the damaged wires with 8T-0065 RTV Silicone Sealant . Cover the sealant with two layers of 1P-0810 Tape .

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.

When you are removing the machine harness from any ECM, use the single screw in the center of the harness connector.

(9) Cable

(10) 171-4400 Communication Adapter II

(11) Service diagnostic cable.

(12) Current version of Cat ET software and an IBM-COMPATIBLE personal computer

ReferenceSee Special Publication, NEHS0758, "Communications Adapter II User Manual Contains Software".

Note: Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) is a software program that can be used on an IBM compatible personal computer.

In order to use Cat 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 Cat ET.

Cat ET is not required to determine or clear the diagnostic trouble codes. However, the process of determining the diagnostic trouble codes is easier and faster by using Cat ET. Cat ET can also display information on the history of a diagnostic trouble code and the parameter status of diagnostic trouble codes. These features allow Cat ET to be a useful tool for troubleshooting.

Cat ET is used to communicate to the electronic control module over the data link by connecting to the machine diagnostic connector. For more information and the locations of the connectors, see Troubleshooting, "Electrical Components and Connector Locations" and the Electrical System Schematic in your vehicle Service Manual.

For instructions on servicing Sure Seal connectors, see Special Instruction, SMHS7531. For instructions on servicing Deutsch connectors, see Special Instruction, SEHS9615.

Use the digital multimeter for measuring resistance 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 breakout with three pins. 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.

Data Link Communications

J1939

Shift Selector Communication

All shift selector required messaging is communicated over "J1939". The shift selector receives the following information from "J1939": requested and current gear, which shift selector is currently active and the mode indicators. Shift requests based on the buttons pressed are communicated over "J1939" to the transmission via a single parameter group number (PGN).

Status Values

Most of the status values indicated on the shift selector are received from various nodes via "J1939". All engine parameters and all transmission parameters, which do not deal with dropbox operation, are received from various nodes via "J1939". Supported PGN and SPN combinations are listed in the appendix. If a parameter is not being supported or transmitted correctly, the parameter will be displayed as a series of asterisks or displayed as UNKNOWN.

Engine and other ECM Diagnostics

Diagnostics from the engine and other common controllers are received over "J1939" on DM1 and DM2 messages. These diagnostics will be displayed on the Diagnostics submenu. These diagnostics will also initiate pop-ups or alarms. The shift selector will only display diagnostics from select Electronic Control Modules (ECMs) that were predetermined to be important to the system. Any other unexpected ECMs diagnostic messaging will not be displayed on the shift selector.

See ""Appendix" " for a list of sources.

CAT Data Link

Status Values

A handful of parameters which are not generally available over "J1939" are supported via Cat Data Link (CDL). These parameters deal with the dropbox status and serial numbers. If a parameter is not being supported or transmitted, the parameter will be displayed as a series of asterisks or displayed as UNKNOWN.

Transmission Diagnostics

Diagnostics and events from the transmission "MID 27" are received over Cat Data Link and match the ones displayed in the service tool. These diagnostics will be displayed on the Diagnostics submenu as well as initiate any pop-ups or alarms.

These diagnostics and events cannot be configured to show up in any certain manner nor permanently displayed. Only transmission diagnostics and events will be received via Cat Data Link.

See ""Transmission Diagnostics/Events Via Cat Data Link" " for a list of possible diagnostics that could be raised on the transmission and displayed on the shift selector. This list is not a complete list of all diagnostics that may be shown. Any diagnostics raised that are not in this list will be displayed on the shift selector. However, these diagnostics will have text describing the diagnostic as an unknown error.

Flashing the Shift Selector




Illustration 24g02160518

In order to flash the shift selector, connect to the ECM using J1939 or CDL in Winflash. As Caterpillar ECMs are located on the data links, the ECMs will be displayed as Detected ECMs. By clicking the shift selector ECM and having the name highlighted, the component has been selected as the target of flash (1). description (2) should identify the component as a shift selector for the petroleum transmission.




Illustration 25g02160521

The technician may select a new file (3) to be flashed on the ECM by entering a location of the flash file. Or the technician may browse for the flash file on the computer. Once a flash file is selected, a description of the file shall appear in the space below (4). Check that the description in the space correctly correlates to the targeted ECM. More information about the file should be displayed at the bottom of the screen to confirm the type of software and purpose (5). A press of the "Begin Flash" button will begin flash sequence (6). However, make sure that the correct flash file has been selected and the target is the shift selector.




Illustration 26g02160524

A flash progression bar will appear with the status of the flashing process and the estimated completion percentage. This process could take some time. The time depends on the data link that is being used for flashing, bus traffic, and the size of the flash file. If there is an error in the process, a box will be displayed in place of the flash progression bar. This box will describe the situation and the error.




Illustration 27g02160525

Once flashing has successfully completed, the progression bar will change into a selection box which asks where the technician would like to proceed. If the user selects Cat ET or Winflash, the newly flashed software part number should be visible when the ECM reconnects to the software.

Symptom Procedures

Symptom Troubleshooting

Use the following guidelines as you troubleshoot a symptom:

Know the Machine

Understand the operation of the machine. Know if the symptom is a characteristic of normal operation or if the symptom is a failure.

Read the systems operation information in order to understand the systems of the machine. Understand the interaction of the machine systems.

Understand the Symptom

Speak with the operator about the symptom. Acquire the following Information:

  • The performance of the machine prior to the failure

  • First occurrence of the symptom

  • The operating conditions at the time of the failure

  • The sequence of events prior to the failure (order of the occurrences)

  • The troubleshooting steps that have been taken

  • The history of repairs of the machine

  • The preventive maintenance of the machine

  • Related service information about current problems that affect the serial number of the machine

  • Inspect the Machine. Look for problems. Notice any unusual odors in the air. Listen for unusual noises.

Perform the "Visual Inspection" steps. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Machine Preparation for Troubleshooting".

Verify the Symptom

When possible, attempt to duplicate the symptom. Operate the machine and repeat the conditions that caused the failure. Check the gauges inside the cab. Notice any unusual odors in the air. Listen for unusual noises.

Determine if the ECM has detected any faults. A diagnostic code is used to specify each detected fault.

Determine Possible Causes

Use the information from the operator and your inspection. Attempt to identify a common cause if there is more than one symptom.

If you troubleshoot diagnostic codes and the problem is not resolved, continue troubleshooting using the "Symptom Troubleshooting" section of this manual. Identify the component that is the most probable cause of the symptom.

Test and Repair the System

Use the tests and procedures in this manual to verify the cause of the symptom. Once the cause has been identified, repair the failure. Then, test the system again in order to verify that the symptom is resolved.

Provide Feedback to Caterpillar

Share your troubleshooting information. After the correct repair has been performed, use the form in "SIS" or "CBT" feedback, to write a brief description about the symptom, testing, and repair of the machine. Include your phone number or your e-mail address so that you can be contacted. This feedback information helps Caterpillar improve service information.

Shift Selector Identification Problem

Identification/Locator Pins

The shift selector source address on the data link is identified by the shift selector locator pins. Pin "14" or "15" must be grounded in order for the shift selector to function. This strategy is shared by current transmission push button and lever shift selectors.

If pin "14" is grounded and pin "15" is open, the hazardous area shift selector will assume the primary shift selector address. The shift selector will be referred to as the primary shift selector, or shift selector 1.

If pin "15" is grounded and pin "14" is open, the hazardous area shift selector will assume the secondary shift selector address. The shift selector will be referred to as the secondary shift selector, or shift selector 2.

Identification Not Specified




Illustration 29g02163589

The shift selector will check the location pins to find out what source address should be claimed during power up. If both pins are either open or closed, the shift selector will not be able to connect to "J1939" or Cat Data Link (CDL). If no connection is made, the shift selector will not communicate with the transmission. If there is no communication, the shift selector will alert the operator that a wiring issue has been detected. Refer to Illustration 29. The operator must correct the wiring issue and cycle power to the shift selector for operation.

Identification Change




Illustration 30g02163590

A wiring change to the shift selector will cause the shift selector to display a warning that the ID has been changed. Refer to Illustration 30. This warning will only appear if the wiring is still valid. The power will need to be cycled to ensure that the shift selector claims the correct address.

Identification Conflict

If two shift selectors have both been wired as either primary or secondary, both will attempt to claim the same source address. Since each source address must be unique, one of the shift selectors will be removed from the data link. The shift selector will display text to alert the user of this occurrence. Push-button shift selectors and lever "J1939" shift selectors will display text of "AA" if multiple primary addresses were claimed. Push-button shift selectors and lever "J1939" shift selectors will display text of "BB" if multiple secondary addresses are claimed.

Incompatible Primary and Secondary Shifters

The first-generation push-button shifters are incompatible with most other shifters. If these shifters are connected to the J1939 network, the keypad shifter will not display the gear selection properly, and the hazardous location will continue to display the desired and actual gear when it should not. The following tables identify specific shifter combinations which have been tested together and are known to work.

The diagnostic code procedures in this troubleshooting guide instruct the user to check the condition of the electrical connectors that are involved in a suspect circuit.

One of the first actions to take when troubleshooting a circuit should be to inspect the harness connectors that are used for the circuit connections.

Poor connections can often be the cause of an active problem or an intermittent problem in an electrical circuit. Inspection of the connector housings, the pins, and the sockets on the mating connectors may lead to a quick resolution of a specific problem.

The following table lists the tools and the repair kits that will be useful for removal and repair of connector contacts and wires.

Points to Consider When Inspecting a Wiring Harness Connector for Possible Problems:

  1. Verify that a diagnostic code is active or an intermittent problem is occurring before disconnecting the harness connectors.

    1. When a connector is disconnected and reconnected, the chance for increased wear, damage to the connector, or contamination of the connector increases.

  1. When possible, turn off the key start switch before disconnecting the harness connectors.

    1. Disconnecting connectors with the power off avoids the possibility of introducing voltage spikes into the system.

    1. When troubleshooting a circuit, a procedure may require the control voltage to be turned ON with a harness connector disconnected. Always inspect the connector before turning ON the control power. Ensure that the connector is clean, dry, and in good condition.

    1. The recommended practice is to turn OFF the key start switch before reconnecting of the connector.



    Illustration 35g02138347

    Examples of proper and improper wire routing in a harness

  1. Before disconnecting the connector, check for improper wire routing into the connector. Wires that are improperly routed into a connector can deform the seal bore allowing moisture or other forms of contamination to enter the connector.

  1. For intermittent conditions, disconnecting and reconnecting a connector may temporarily solve a problem. However, the indication is that there could be a problem in the connector. A problem in the connector or the harness close to the connector that has been temporarily resolved will most likely reoccur. If this situation occurs, check for the following conditions:

    1. Loose terminals, bent terminals, or improperly crimped terminals.

    1. Perform the 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each wire. Pull on the wires that are entering the connector in order to determine if all terminals are properly locked in the connector body. The pull test can also determine if a wire is broken at the terminal crimp.

    1. Examine the insulation on the wires that are entering the connector. Look for damage to the insulation in the form of abrasions, nicks, or cuts.

    1. For terminal replacement or wire repair, use the 1U-5804 Crimp Tool (12-GA TO 18-GA) to replace the terminal. Replace any damaged connectors as required.

    1. Ensure that the connectors lock properly to the mating connector when connected. After locking the connectors, ensure that the mating connectors cannot be pulled apart.

    1. Check the harness clamping that is close to the connector. The clamps or strap should hold the harness securely in place at the proper orientation. The clamp or strap should not be too tight.

    1. At the ECM harness connectors, ensure that the connector retaining bolt is properly tightened when connected to the ECM connector. Do not exceed 6.0 N·m (53.0 lb in) of torque on the retaining bolt when the connector is being installed on the ECM.

  1. Check for moisture or contamination in the connector and check the condition of the connector seals.



      Illustration 36g02138377

      Illustration 37g02138384

      Typical three-pin connector with an O-ring type seal (arrow)

    1. Check the connector terminals for moisture or corrosion.

    1. If moisture or corrosion are found in a connector, inspect the connector seal for damage that can include: missing seals, improperly installed seals, nicks, or tears in the sealing surface. The seal is replaceable. Replace the seal if the seal is damaged.

    1. Light abrasion on the connector seal is normal. If moisture is present in the connector, the cause of the problem must be determined and corrected. Check all of the connector seals and replace any seal that is damaged or missing. Replace the connector if necessary.

    1. Moisture can also travel from one connector through the inside of a wire to another connector. If moisture is found in a connector, thoroughly check all connectors and wires in the harness.

    1. Use only denatured alcohol with a soft brush or a cotton swab to clean the terminals and remove corrosion.

  1. A Cat ET wiggle test can be used for finding intermittent problems in a wiring harness or in a harness connector. Use Cat ET wiggle test, if available, on the suspect machine harness or engine harness.

    1. When a Cat ET wiggle test is not available for your machine, moving the harness and connectors while troubleshooting a particular circuit can help to find a problem. Movement of the harness or a connector while observing a multimeter measurement may provide an indication of the location of a problem.

Wiring Harness (Open Circuit) - Test

An open is a failure of an electrical circuit that results in no flow of electrical current. An open circuit is usually caused by failed electrical wires or a poor connection of electrical connectors. If an electrical wire or a connection is broken, the flow of electrical current through the circuit is interrupted. A normally closed circuit will have less than 5 ohms of resistance. The following procedure explains the test for an open circuit:

ReferenceFor a complete electrical schematic, refer to Electrical System Schematic for the machine that is being serviced.

Test For An Open Circuit

  1. Identify the connectors and the wire numbers of the suspect circuits. Use the Electrical System Schematic of the machine to identify the circuits.

  1. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.

  1. Disconnect the component and the ECM from the wiring harness.

  1. At one of the disconnected harness connections, place a jumper wire from the contact of the suspect wire to frame ground.

  1. At the other connector of the machine harness, use the multimeter probes to measure the resistance from the contact of the suspect wire to frame ground.

    Expected Result: The resistance is less than 5 ohms.

    OK - The resistance is less than 5 ohms. The harness circuit is correct.

    Stop.

    NOT OK - The resistance is greater than 5000 ohms. There is an open in the machine harness.

    Repair: Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.

    Stop.

Wiring Harness (Short Circuit) - Test

A short circuit is a failure of an electrical circuit that results in undesired electrical current. Usually, a short circuit is a bypass of the circuit across a load. For example, a short across the wires in a circuit for a lamp produces too much current in the wires but no current is felt at the lamp. The lamp is shorted out. The resistance in a normal circuit can vary, but the resistance between a particular circuit and other unrelated circuits is always greater than 5000 ohms. The following procedure explains the test for a short circuit:

ReferenceFor a complete electrical schematic, refer to Electrical System Schematic for the machine that is being serviced.

Test For A Short Circuit

  1. Identify the connectors and the wire numbers of the suspect circuits. Use the Electrical System Schematic of the machine to identify the circuits.

  1. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.

  1. Disconnect the component and the ECM from the wiring harness.

  1. At the machine harness connector for the ECM, place one of the multimeter probes on the contact of the suspect wire.

  1. Use the other multimeter probe to check the resistance across all other contacts in the connector or connectors of the ECM and frame ground.

    Expected Result: The resistance is greater than 5000 ohms for all the measurements.

    OK - The resistance is greater than 5000 ohms for all the measurements. The harness circuits are correct.

    Stop.

    NOT OK - The resistance is less than 5 ohms. There is a short in the machine harness. The short is between the suspected wire and the wire with the lowest resistance measurement.

    Repair: Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.

    Stop.

Rear view of shifter

(1) Screw

The hazardous area shift selector is a sealed unit. Changes in atmospheric pressure may cause the buttons to stay depressed and commands not being accepted. This condition is caused by the pressure inside the shifter being lower than atmospheric pressure.

To resolve this issue, pressures need to balance inside and outside the shifter. Use the following steps:

  1. Remove screw (1) .

  1. Once the pressures have equalized, replace screw (1) .

    1. Apply sealant to the threads of screw (1) prior to assembly.

    1. Tighten screw (1) to 2 ± 0.1 N·m (17.7 ± 0.9 lb in)
