The output from the Machine ECM is based on input information from the sensors. The output
commands are based on the software programmed into the control module. After the Machine
ECM receives the input information, the ECM sends a corresponding response to the outputs. The
inputs and outputs of the ECM are connected to the machine harness by two 54-pin connectors (J1
and J2). The inputs and outputs to the ECM can be viewed through the Caterpillar Electronic
Technician (Cat ET). Input and output information can also be viewed using the Operator
Monitor.

The ECM also communicates with sensors and other control modules via the CAN Data Link. The
data link is bi-directional, allowing the Machine ECM to both receive and send information with
the Engine ECM. The Machine ECM also communicates to input and output components that are
directly connected to the Switch Panel. The Switch Panel is used to link input and output
components to the Machine ECM via the CAN Data Link.

Note: Only the complete ECM is serviced (no lower levels components). The ECM must be
replaced if the ECM is damaged. Replace the ECM if a failure is diagnosed.

Pin Locations
The Cat Data Link is used to provide a connection for the service tool for troubleshooting, testing,
and calibrations. The data link is bidirectional. The data link allows the ECM to receive
information. The data link also allows the ECM to send information.

Inputs
The inputs describe the status of the machine systems. Two types of inputs exist. The inputs can
be either a switch type or a sensor type. Switches provide an open, a ground, or a + battery signal
to the inputs of the controller. Sensors (frequency, PWM, or voltage) provide a changing signal to
the sensor inputs of the controller. The controller will recognize the following types of sensor
signals:

Frequency - The sensor will produce an AC signal (sine wave or square wave) that varies in
frequency (Hz) as the condition changes.

Pulse Width Modulated - The sensor produces a digital signal and varies the duty cycle as the
condition changes. The frequency of the signal will remain constant.

In some cases the operator is provided a manual switch that can be used to change a condition of
the machine.

Front Pump Pressure Sensor and Rear Pump Pressure Sensor

The front pump pressure sensor and rear pump pressure sensors are inputs to the machine ECM.
The front pump and rear pump pressure sensors are located on the main control valve. The front
pump pressure sensor monitors the pressure of the front pump oil in the left travel and boom-
bucket IMV section of the main control valve high-pressure passages. The rear pump pressure
sensor monitors the rear pump oil pressure in the swing, right travel, and stick-auxiliary IMV
section of the main control valve high-pressure passages.

The pressure sensors send a pulse width modulated (PWM) input to the machine ECM. This
pressure information is used for pump control and travel speed.

Left Travel Pressure Switch and Right Travel Pressure Switch

The left travel pressure switch and right travel pressure switch detects a travel operation. The
travel pressure switches send an input signal to the machine ECM. The machine ECM uses the
switch information to control the engine speed and pump control.

Outputs
The ECM responds to decisions by sending electrical signals to the outputs. The outputs can create
an action or the outputs can provide information to the operator or the service technician.

Travel Speed Solenoid

The travel speed solenoid is an output of the Machine ECM. When the travel speed solenoid is
active, the machine can travel at high speed. The travel speed solenoid is active when the travel
speed mode switch is set to "RABBIT (high)" mode. The travel speed also depends on the delivery
pressure of the main pump. If the delivery pressure of the main pump is high, the travel speed
solenoid is de-energized. When the delivery pressure of the main pump is low, the travel speed
solenoid is energized.

Hydraulic Lock Solenoid

The hydraulic lock solenoid is an output of the Machine ECM. The hydraulic lock solenoid is
energized in order to enable the primary hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic lock solenoid is de-
energized in order to disable the primary hydraulic pressure.

This solenoid is activated while the key switch is in the ON position and the hydraulic lock lever
is in the UNLOCK position.

Data Link
Cat Data Link

The Cat Data Link is an input/output of the ECM. The data link uses the connector for the service
port in order to communicate with the Caterpillar Electronic Technician. A data link connection is
provided for the product link.

Note: The control for the product link provides a global positioning system for the machine.

The data link is bidirectional. The bidirectional link allows the ECM to input information and
output information. The data link consists of the following parts: internal ECM circuits, the related
harness wiring, the service tool connector, and the connector for the product link. The Cat Data
Link connects to the ECM at contact J2-16 (wire 892-BR(Brown)) and contact J2-25 (wire 893-
GN(Green)).

• The ECM receives commands from the Cat ET in order to change the operating modes. The
Cat ET will read the service codes that are stored in the memory of the ECM. The Cat ET
will clear the service codes that are stored in the memory of the ECM.

• The ECM sends the input and the output information to the Caterpillar ET.

CAN Data Link

A Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Link allows communication between the Machine ECM,
Engine ECM, and the input and output devices of the switch panel. The CAN Data Link allows for
bi-directional electronic signals to be passed among the controllers and the switch panel. The data
link allows the Machine ECM to be connected to sensors and actuators connected to the switch
panel. The Machine ECM can also use the data link to communicate engine speed and/or torque
requirements to the Engine ECM.

Travel Alarm
The travel alarm SOUNDS in order to alert the area that the machine is moving. The travel alarm
is activated by the machine ECM whenever the travel levers/pedals are moved.
