be out of specifications.
The polarity of the sensor wiring may be reversed.
This engine is equipped with three engine speed/timing sensors. The primary speed/timing sensor is mounted inside the engine crankcase and toward
the left rear section of the engine. This sensor utilizes the teeth of the crankshaft gear on the rear gear to sense the engine speed and the crankshaft
position. The primary speed/timing sensor for the engine is the crankshaft speed/timing sensor.
The secondary speed/timing sensor and the tertiary speed/timing sensor are located on the top rear portion of the engine. Both of these sensors utilize
the teeth of the camshaft gear on the rear gear group to sense the engine speed and the camshaft position. A single tooth for both of these gears has
been partially removed in order to provide a timing reference for the ECM.
Under normal operation, the ECM utilizes the signal from the primary speed/timing sensor to determine the crankshaft position for an accurate fuel
delivery and timing. This feature eliminates the need for a separate procedure for timing calibration. A timing offset is determined during each engine
start-up. The value of the timing offset is stored in the non-volatile memory of the ECM until the successful completion of the next engine start-up. If
a failure mode for the primary engine speed/timing sensor is detected during engine start-up, timing calibration is aborted. The value of the timing
offset stored in ECM memory will be used. This value will continue to be used for the engine timing calibration until the diagnostic is resolved. A
timing calibration cannot be performed manually on this engine.
The fuel delivery to the engine is synchronized by the signal from the secondary speed/timing sensor (RH). If a failure mode for the primary
speed/timing sensor is detected, the ECM will use the signal from this sensor for fuel delivery and timing.
Note: The locations for the sensors are identified as if the sensors are viewed from the rear of the engine. Refer to Illustration 6.
For this application, the tertiary speed/timing sensor (LH) is provided as a backup for the secondary speed/timing sensor (RH). The signal from the
tertiary sensor will be used if a failure of the secondary speed/timing sensor (RH) is detected. The ECM will use the tertiary sensor to provide the
functionality of the failed sensor.
Use Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) in order to view the status of the engine speed sensors.
The signal from any two engine speed/timing sensors is necessary for the engine to be started. The signal from any single speed/timing sensor is
necessary for the engine to run. The speed/timing sensors are not interchangeable. Do not attempt to switch the positions of the sensors.
Complete all of the following tasks when you are installing the speed/timing sensors:
Ensure that an O-ring is installed on each sensor.
If an O-ring is damaged or missing, replace the O-ring.
Lubricate the O-rings with oil prior to installation of the sensor.
Ensure that the sensor assembly is fully seated into the engine before tightening the bracket bolt.
Ensure that each electrical connector is securely latched.
Ensure that the harness is properly secured, and ensure that each tie-wrap is placed in the correct location.
