2006/01/31 Speed Control (Switch) - Test (RENR5096)

SMCS - 1439,1913 i02485831

System Operation Description:

Use this procedure to troubleshoot any suspect problems with the speed control.

This procedure covers the following diagnostic code:

91-08 Throttle Position signal abnormal

1690-08 Throttle #2 Position Sensor abnormal frequency, pulse width, or period

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) can be configured to receive three different types of throttle signals for the engine throttle control:

"PWM" - The Pulse Width Modulated signal (PWM) must be received via terminal P1-66 at the ECM connector.

"CAN Input" - A J1939 signal is received via the CAN data link.

"0 - 5 VDC" - This analog signal must be received via terminal P1-17 at the ECM connector.

The signals must be present at the respective inputs in order for the signals to be received by the ECM.

The ECM also allows a primary throttle and a secondary throttle to be configured for the engine. The type of signal that will be used for the primary
throttle is configured by setting the "Desired Speed Input Configuration" parameter. The type of signal that will be used for the secondary throttle is
configured by setting the "Secondary Desired Speed Input Configuration" parameter. For information on these parameters, refer to
Troubleshooting, "System Configuration Parameters".

Note: Configuring both of these parameters to the same setting will invalidate the setting for the secondary throttle.

The ECM will utilize the signal that is defined as the primary throttle as long as a valid signal is available from the expected source. If the signal
from the primary throttle becomes unavailable, the ECM will use the signal that is defined as the secondary throttle. If both of these throttle signals
become unavailable, the ECM will use the rated speed of the engine as the setpoint for the desired engine speed.

From the factory, the ECM is configured to receive the primary throttle via the CAN Data Link (J1939 broadcast). The secondary throttle is
configured to be received at terminal P1-66 of the ECM connector (PWM signal). The speed control provides a PWM signal for the secondary
throttle at this location.

Two available throttle signals are unused for this application. Refer to Illustration 1. The first signal is the droop signal that is produced by the speed
control. The ECM does not read the signal at terminal P1-68. The second is the input for the analog throttle at terminal P1-17. The ECM will read
the signal at this terminal, but a control device is not wired to the input at the factory.

D. Check the torque of the allen head screws for each of the ECM connectors. Refer to the diagnostic functional test Troubleshooting, "Electrical
Connectors - Inspect" for the correct torque values.

E. Check the harness and the wiring for abrasion and for pinch points from the batteries to the ECM.

Expected Result:

All connectors, pins, and sockets are completely coupled and/or inserted, and the harness and wiring are free of corrosion, of abrasion and of pinch
points.

Results:

OK - The connectors and wiring appear to be OK. Proceed to Test Step 2.

Not OK - The connectors and/or wiring are not OK.

Repair: Repair the wiring and/or the connectors. Replace parts, if necessary. Verify that the original problem has been resolved.

STOP

Test Step 2. Check for Active Diagnostic Codes

A. Connect Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector.

B. Restore the electrical power to the ECM.

C. Monitor the active diagnostic code screen on Cat ET. Check for an active 08 code.
Note: Wait at least 30 seconds in order for the diagnostic codes to become active.

D. Remove the electrical power from the ECM.

Expected Result:

No diagnostic codes are active.

Results:

OK - No diagnostic codes are active.

Repair: If the above code has been logged, there may be an intermittent problem in the harness or in a connector. Refer to the diagnostic
functional test Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" in order to troubleshoot intermittent electrical problems.

If a problem with the speed control circuit is suspected, proceed to Test Step 3.

Not OK - A 08 diagnostic code is active at this time. The ECM has detected an erratic signal at the input for the throttle signal. Proceed to
Test Step 3.

Test Step 3. Check the Supply Voltage to the Speed Control

A. Restore the electrical power to the ECM.

B. Start the engine.

C. Measure the voltage between terminals +B and −B at the speed control.

D. Stop the engine. Remove the electrical power from the ECM.

Expected Result:

The supply voltage is 24 ± 3.0 VDC at the speed control.

Results:

OK - The engine started and the supply voltage is 24 ± 3.0 VDC at the speed control. The speed control is receiving supply voltage. Proceed
to Test Step 4.

Not OK - The supply voltage is not 24 ± 3.0 VDC.

Repair: The supply voltage is not reaching the speed control.

If the engine started, the control relay is receiving electrical power. There is a problem in the harness or the connectors between the
output of control relay and the speed control. The problem may be in the ground circuit to the speed control. Perform the following Test Steps:

1. Ensure that the battery isolator switch is in the ON position.

2. Remove the wire from the −Battery terminal at the speed control.

3. Check the resistance between the wire for the −Battery at the speed control and the battery negative post.
The correct measurement will indicate that a short circuit condition exists for the circuit.

If the resistance measurement indicates a short circuit, the ground circuit for the speed control is OK. There is a problem in the harness or the
connectors between the control relay and the speed control. Repair the harness and/or the connectors. Replace parts, if necessary. Verify
that the original problem has been resolved.
If the measurement did not indicate a short circuit, the problem is in the ground circuit for the speed control. Repair the harness and/or the
connectors. Replace parts, if necessary. Verify that the original problem has been resolved.

If the engine does not start, there is a problem in the electrical power supply circuit. Refer to the diagnostic functional test
Troubleshooting, "Electrical Power Supply Circuit - Test".

STOP

Test Step 4. Check the Throttle Signals at the Speed Control

A. Disconnect the wire from terminal S (primary throttle) at the speed control.

B. Restore the electrical power to the ECM.

C. Measure the duty cycle of the PWM signal between terminal S and terminal -B at the speed control. Use the speed control's potentiometer to
vary the speed of the engine during the measurement.
The correct duty cycle will remain between 5 percent and 95 percent during the test. The duty cycle will change with the change in the
desired engine speed.

D. Remove the electrical power from the ECM.

E. Restore the wiring to the original configuration.

Expected Result:

The duty cycle measurements agree with the specifications that are stated above.

Results:

OK - The duty cycle measurements agree with the specifications. The speed control is operating correctly. Proceed to Test Step 5.

Not OK - The duty cycle measurements do not agree with the specifications.
Repair: The speed control is not operating correctly. Replace the speed control. Verify that the original problem has been resolved.

STOP

connector. Use the speed control's potentiometer to vary the speed of the engine during the measurement.
The correct duty cycle will remain between 5 percent and 95 percent during the test. The duty cycle will change with the change in desired
engine speed.

F. Remove the electrical power from the ECM.

G. Disconnect the J1/P1 ECM connectors.

H. Restore the wiring to the original configuration.

Expected Result:

The duty cycle measurements agree with the specifications that are stated above.

Results:
