The troubleshooting procedures for the diagnostic codes of each pressure sensor are identical. The
Electronic Control Module (ECM) supplies 5.0 ± 0.2 VDC to terminal "A" of each sensor connector.
The sensor return from the ECM connector goes to terminal "B" of each sensor connector. The sensor
supply is output short circuit protected. A short circuit to the battery will not damage the circuit inside
the ECM.

The ECM continuously outputs a pull-up voltage on the circuit for the sensor signal wire. The ECM uses
this pull-up voltage in order to detect an open in the signal circuit. When the ECM detects the presence
of a voltage that is above a threshold on the signal circuit, the ECM will generate an open circuit
diagnostic code (-3) for the sensor.

If the sensor is disconnected at the sensor connector, the presence of pull-up voltage at the sensor
connector indicates that the wires from the sensor connector to the ECM are not open or shorted to

ground. If the sensor is disconnected at the sensor connector, the absence of pull-up voltage at the sensor
connector indicates an open in the signal wire or a short to ground. If the sensor is disconnected at the
sensor connector and the voltage at the sensor connector is different from pull-up voltage, the signal
wire is shorted to another wire in the harness.

Service Information System Page 8 of 12

Expected Result:

No diagnostic codes are active.

Results:

z OK - No diagnostic codes are active for the engine pressure sensors.

Repair: If any of the above codes are logged and the engine is not running properly, refer to
troubleshooting without a diagnostic code Troubleshooting.If the engine is running properly at
this time, there may be an intermittent problem in a harness that is causing the codes to be logged.
Refer to service Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".

STOP

Results:

z OK - A -4 diagnostic code was active before you disconnected the sensor. A -3 diagnostic code
became active after the sensor was disconnected. The harness and the ECM are OK. There may be
a problem with the sensor.

when the jumper wire was removed.

Results:

z OK - A -4 diagnostic code was active when the jumper wire was installed. A -3 diagnostic code
became active when the jumper wire was removed. The engine harness and the ECM are OK.

Repair: Temporarily connect a new sensor to the harness, but do not install the new sensor in the
engine. Verify that there are no active diagnostic codes for the sensor. If there are no active
diagnostic codes for the new sensor, permanently install the new sensor. Clear any logged
diagnostic codes.Verify that the problem is resolved.

STOP

code for all sensors that are connected to the return wire. Ignore the additional codes.
Troubleshoot the original diagnostic code and clear the codes when you are finished.

d. Connect the ECM connector.

C. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.

D. Monitor the "Active Diagnostic Code" screen on Cat ET. Wait at least 30 seconds so that any

diagnostic code became active when the signal wire was connected to the return wire.

Results:

z OK - The ECM is operating properly. There is a problem in the wiring between the ECM and the
sensor connector.

Repair: If the code is only active for one sensor, the problem is most likely in the signal wire for
the sensor. Repair the signal wire and/or the connector. Replace parts, if necessary.Verify that the
problem is resolved.If applicable, use Cat ET to perform a "wiggle test".

STOP

z Not OK - One of the following conditions exists: The -3 diagnostic code is not active when the
signal wire is disconnected. The -4 diagnostic code is not active when the wire jumper is installed.

Repair: Replace the ECM. Refer to service Troubleshooting, "ECM - Replace". Verify that the
