2866-3  Steering Control Force Feedback Motor Torque Sensor: Voltage Above Normal  The FMI 3 indicates that the ECM has detected that the duty cycle of the Steering Control Force Feedback Motor Torque Sensor circuit is above the high threshold.

OPERATIONAL INFORMATION:
During machine operation, the Implement ECM sends a PWM command signal that ranges between 10 percent and 90 percent to the electronics in the Steering and Transmission Control (Left Steering Joystick) base. The internal electronics in the base of the joystick interpret the duty cycle of the command circuit and supply a corresponding amount of current to the torque feedback motor.
The internal electronics in the base of the joystick also supply a PWM torque feedback signal to the Implement ECM. The acceptable duty cycle range of the feedback circuit is also 10 percent to 90 percent. During normal operation, the PWM duty cycle of the feedback circuit is expected to be close to the duty cycle of the command circuit.
The ECM uses the Force Feedback Motor Torque Sensor duty cycle signal to verify that the correct amount of current is being supplied to the torque motor.
During normal operation when no diagnostic codes for the steering joystick are active and the joystick is stationary, the PWM duty cycles of the torque command signal and the torque sensor circuit will be approximately 50 percent duty cycle, however, the torque sensor feedback duty cycle can differ from the command circuit duty cycle by 25 percent. If the signals differ by more than 25 percent, the ECM will activate a CID 2866 FMI 14 diagnostic code.
The PWM torque command signal from the ECM and the PWM torque sensor feedback signal to the ECM are difficult to measure. When a torque motor diagnostic code is active, the torque motor will be disabled and the duty cycles cannot be measured. The torque motor will also be disabled if all 3 of the joystick position sensor are faulted (Diagnostic Codes: 1471, 1472 and 1473). To measure the signals during normal operation, insert spoon type probes spoon into the appropriate circuit and the ground circuit. When the primary steering is enabled, the duty cycles of both circuits should be in the 10 percent to 90 percent range.
The function will be disabled until the diagnostic code is cleared. The lever position sensor must be centered.

Diagnostic Trouble Code Procedure

Note: Prior to beginning this procedure, inspect the harness connectors that are involved in this circuit. Poor connections can often be the cause of a problem in an electrical circuit. Verify that all connections in the circuit are clean, secure, and in good condition. If a problem with a connection is found, correct the problem and verify that the diagnostic code is active before performing a troubleshooting procedure. For sensors powered via the fuse panel, check the condition of the appropriate fuse before beginning the troubleshooting procedure.

Proceed to Test Step 14.

NOT OK - Both voltage measurements are less than 8.0 ± 0.4 VDC. The power supply for the sensor is not correct.

Repair: If both voltage measurements are not correct, the problem is most likely in the power circuit of the wire. This condition will cause multiple diagnostic codes to activate.

Refer to Electrical Schematic, UENR3117 for the machine. Examine all of the connectors that are in the power and ground circuits. Inspect the connections for connections that are clean, secure, and in good condition.

For troubleshooting the ECM power supply that is providing power to the sensor, refer to the CID 41 diagnostic code procedures in the Troubleshooting Section of the manual.

NOT OK - When dealing with the steering joystick, one of the voltage measurements is not correct.

Repair: If one voltage measurement is correct and the other voltage measurement is not, the problem is in the ground circuit that registered the poor measurement. This condition will not cause this diagnostic code to activate. There is another problem that causes this diagnostic code to activate. However, the ground circuit must be repaired before proceeding with this procedure.

Do not operate the machine with only one ground connection for the steering joystick. Repair the faulty ground circuit before proceeding with this procedure.

Repair: If the sensor signal at one ECM is correct and not correct at the other ECM, a poor connection in the circuit would be suspected.

Refer to the Electrical Schematic, UENR3117 of the machine. Examine all connectors in the section of the signal circuit that connects to the ECM that is not receiving a good signal. Inspect the harness for contamination or loose connections. Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness, if necessary.

E. Disconnect the harness connector J1 and J2 from the ECM.

F. At the machine harness connector for the ECM, measure the resistance between the sensor signal contact and each of the other J1 and J2 circuits that are used for the ECM.

Refer to the Electrical Schematic, UENR3117 of the machine. Check all of the connectors that are in the sensor circuit. Inspect the condition of the harness and the connectors for clean and secure connections.

For information on testing for short circuits and finding short circuits, refer to the Troubleshooting, "Wiring Harness (Short Circuit) - Test" Story in this manual. Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.

STOP

E. Reconnect all harness connectors and verify that the connectors are fully seated and the clips for each connector are fastened.

F. Turn the key start switch and disconnect switch to the ON position.

G. Determine if the past diagnostic code that was being investigated is still active. 

The past diagnostic code that was being investigated is no longer active. 
OK - The formerly active diagnostic code is not active. The diagnostic code does not exist at this time. The initial diagnostic code could have been caused by a poor connection or a short at one of the connectors that was disconnected and reconnected. Resume normal operation.

STOP

NOT OK - The diagnostic code that was investigated is active. The diagnostic code has not been corrected.

Repair: Perform a Wiggle Test on the sensor circuit in the machine wiring harness using the Cat Electronic Technician (Cat ET) service tool. The Wiggle test can detect momentary shorts, intermittent shorts, or opens in the machine wiring harness.

If the cause of the active diagnostic code is not found, an ECM that has activated this diagnostic code may have failed.

If multiple ECM modules have activated this diagnostic code, the ECM most likely is not the cause of the problem.

Exit this procedure and perform this procedure again. If the cause of the failure is not found, contact the Technical Communicator at your dealership for possible consultation with Caterpillar. This consultation may effect repair time. Prior to replacing the ECM, always contact the Technical Communication at your dealership for possible consultation with Caterpillar. This consultation may greatly reduce repair time.
