Engine Speed/Timing Sensor - Calibrate


SMCS - 1439-524; 1912-524

System Operation Description:

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) has the ability to calibrate the mechanical differences
between the Top Center (TC) of the flywheel and the TC of the timing gear on the camshaft. A
magnetic transducer signals the TC of the flywheel to the ECM when a notch on a counterweight
passes by the transducer. The engine speed/timing sensor signals the TC of the timing gear to the
ECM. Any offset between the TC of the flywheel and the TC of the timing gear is stored into the
memory of the ECM.

Note: A timing calibration will not increase the available engine power.

Table 1 lists the special tools that are required in order to perform this procedure.

Table 1

Required Special Tools


Part Number Description
7X-1171 Transducer Adapter
6V-2197 Transducer
7X-1695 Cable As
170-3519 Harness (1)

(1) This item is not required if the engine harness has a connector for timing calibration.

Test Step 1. Install the Transducer Adapter

A. Remove the electrical power from the ECM.

B. Use the appropriate engine turning tool to put either the No. 1 piston or the No. 6 piston at top
center. Refer to the Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting.
C. Refer to Table 2. After the top center position has been located, rotate the crankshaft for the
number of degrees that is applicable to your engine model. Be sure to rotate the crankshaft in
the direction of rotation that is specified in the Table.

Table 2

Crankshaft Rotation
Engine Model Number of Degrees Direction of Rotation
C7 100 Normal Rotation
C-9 85 Normal Rotation
C-10 60 Opposite Normal Rotation
C11 75 Normal Rotation
C-12 60 Opposite Normal Rotation
C13 75 Normal Rotation
C-15 60 Opposite Normal Rotation
C15 60 Opposite Normal Rotation
C-16 60 Opposite Normal Rotation
C18 30 Opposite Normal Rotation

D. Refer to Table 3. Locate the engine's timing calibration port.

E. Remove the plug from the timing calibration port.

F. Thread the transducer adapter into the port.

Results:

Continue to the next test step.

Test Step 2. Install the Transducer

NOTICE
If the crankshaft is not in the correct position when the transducer is
installed, the transducer will be damaged when the engine is started.

A. Apply clean engine oil to a 2D-6392 O-Ring Seal. Install the O-ring seal on the end of the 6V-
2197 Transducer .

B. Push the transducer through the transducer adapter until the transducer contacts the crankshaft
counterweight.

C. Withdraw the transducer 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) and hand tighten the nut on the adapter sleeve in
order to secure the transducer. Move the O-ring seal against the adapter.

Results:

Continue to the next test step.

Test Step 3. Connect the 7X-1695 Cable As

A. If the engine harness is equipped with a connector for timing calibration, connect the 7X-1695
Cable As to the connector for timing calibration and to the transducer.

B. If the engine harness is not equipped with a connector for timing calibration, perform the
following procedure:

a. Disconnect the P2 connector from the ECM.

b. Determine the number of terminals on the P2 connector.

Table 4

P2 Locations for Connection of the 7X-1695 Cable As


Wire Color Locations on the 70−pin P2 Locations on the 120−pin P2
Connector Connector
White 22 26
Yellow 23 36
c. Refer to Table 4. Remove the sealing plugs from the appropriate terminals. Do not
discard the sealing plugs. The sealing plugs may be reinstalled when the timing
calibration is complete.

d. Install the white wire of the 170-3519 Harness into the appropriate location.

e. Install the yellow wire of the 170-3519 Harness into the appropriate location. Disregard
the pin-outs on the label of the harness.

Note: Ensure that each wire is installed into the correct location. The timing calibration
will not be successful if the wires are installed incorrectly.

f. Connect the J2/P2 connectors. Tighten the allen head screw on the P2 connector to the
appropriate torque. Refer to the diagnostic functional test Troubleshooting, "Electrical
Connectors - Inspect" for the correct torque value.

g. Connect the 7X-1695 Cable As to the connector for timing calibration and to the
transducer.

Results:

Continue to the next test step.

Test Step 4. Start the Engine and Check for Diagnostic Codes

A. Connect Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector. Refer to
Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools".

B. Start the engine and run the engine until the engine is at the normal operating temperature.

C. Check for active diagnostic codes. Wait at least 30 seconds in order for the codes to become
active.

The engine must not have any active diagnostic codes during the timing calibration except for
a 261-13 Engine Timing Calibration required.

Expected Result:

There are no active diagnostic codes or there is only an active 261-13 diagnostic code.

Results:

z OK - There are no active diagnostic codes or there is only an active 261-13 diagnostic code.
Proceed to Test Step 5.

z Not OK - There is at least one active code that is not 261-13.

Repair: Troubleshoot and repair any active diagnostic codes before you continue with this
procedure.

STOP

Test Step 5. Calibrate the Engine Speed/Timing Sensor


A. Set the engine speed to 1100 ± 50 rpm. The engine speed must be steady within this rpm range
in order for the calibration to be successful.

B. After the engine has warmed up, access the "Timing Calibration" screen on the Cat ET. Access
the following display screens in order:

{ Service

{ Calibrations

{ Timing Calibration

C. To calibrate the timing, select "Continue" on Cat ET. Wait until Cat ET indicates that the
timing is calibrated.

Expected Result:

Cat ET indicates that the timing is calibrated.

Results:

z OK - Cat ET indicates that the timing is calibrated.

Repair: Perform the following procedure:

1. Set the engine speed to low idle.

Note: Disconnect the 7X-1695 Cable As before you exit the "Timing Calibration"
screen. Otherwise, diagnostic codes may be activated.

2. Disconnect the 7X-1695 Cable As .

3. Exit the "Timing Calibration" screen on Cat ET.

4. Remove the electrical power from the ECM.

5. Remove the transducer and remove the adapter.

6. Install the plug into the timing calibration port.

7. If you installed a 170-3519 Harness, you may remove the harness or you may
permanently install the harness for future use. If you remove the harness, install the
sealing plugs into the unused cavities of the P2 connector. Otherwise, moisture and
debris will enter the connector.

If you choose to permanently install the harness, fasten the harness to the existing
engine wiring harness with cable ties. Also, install a 3E-3364 Receptacle and two 8T-
8737 Seal Plugs on the P400 timing calibration probe connector in order to prevent
moisture and debris from entering the connector.

8. Return the engine to service.

STOP
z Not OK - The timing calibration was unsuccessful.

Repair: The following conditions can cause the timing calibration to fail:

{ If the crankshaft and camshaft gears have been reassembled incorrectly, the timing will
not calibrate.

{ Verify that the timing calibration probe is installed correctly.

{ Verify that the engine speed is correct and that the engine speed is stable. If the engine
speed is unstable, refer to troubleshooting without a diagnostic code Troubleshooting,
"Engine Misfires, Runs Rough or Is Unstable".

{ There may be a problem with the transducer or with the cables. Obtain a new transducer
and/or a new cable and repeat the timing calibration.
