Use this procedure to troubleshoot the engine electrical system if a problem is suspected with the
injectors. Use this procedure if any of the diagnostic codes in Table 1 is active or easily repeated.
Table 1
Diagnostic Codes Table
Conditions which Generate this
Code and Description System Response
Code
1-2 Cylinder #1 Injector : The Electronic Control Module (ECM) receives a signal from
Erratic, Intermittent, or the injector solenoid that is invalid or that cannot be accurately
Incorrect interpreted.
The code is logged.
2-2 Cylinder #2 Injector : The ECM continues to energize the injector solenoid.
Erratic, Intermittent, or
Incorrect
3-2 Cylinder #3 Injector :
Erratic, Intermittent, or

4-2 Cylinder #4 Injector :
Erratic, Intermittent, or
Incorrect
5-2 Cylinder #5 Injector :
Erratic, Intermittent, or
Incorrect

Background Information
A -2 code is activated when injector response to ECM current is not detected. Malfunctioning
injectors can cause engine smoke and power issues.
A -7 code is activated when injector response time to ECM current exceeds acceptable threshold.
Injectors that are no longer responding correctly cause low power.
Trim Files
When an injector is replaced, program the new injector code into the ECM. Refer to
Troubleshooting, "Injector Trim File - Install" for information that is related to trim files. If the
ECM is replaced, all of the injector codes must be programmed into the new ECM. Refer to
Troubleshooting, "ECM - Configure" for information that is related to the configuration of a new
ECM.
Note: Dual data link communications must be established between the service tool and the engine
ECM prior to gaining access to some of the following tests. For information on dual data link
communications, refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools" for details.
Fuel System Verification Test - This test evaluates the health of each injector. The test
determines if an injector needs to be replaced. When the test is performed, Cat ET indicates the
status of each injector as "OK", "Not OK", or "Aborted".
Double click for more information on error codes and why the test aborted:
If any of these codes appear, fix the condition creating the code. Rerun the test until none of these
conditions exist and a good test can be performed.

Perform this test immediately after an injector has been replaced. Also, perform this test if a -2
code or -7 code is active.
Note: The "Fuel System Verification Test" test must be performed when the engine is running and
the coolant temperature is above 65 °C (149 °F). The FSVT will set the engine speed to rated
speed.
Electrical Shock Hazard. The unit injector system uses 90 - 120 volts.
The ECM sends this signal to the unit injectors. Do not come in contact
with the unit injector harness connector while the engine is operating.
Failure to follow this instruction could resulting in personal injury or
death.
Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid penetration and burn
hazards. High pressure fuel spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to
follow these inspection, maintenance and service instructions may cause
personal injury or death.
NOTICE
Ensure that all adjustments and repairs that are carried out to the fuel
system are performed by authorized personnel that have the correct
training.
Before beginning ANY work on the fuel system, refer to Operation and
Maintenance Manual, "General Hazard Information and High
Pressure Fuel Lines" for safety information.
A. Establish communication between Cat ET and the engine ECM. Cat ET must be configured
for Dual Data Link Communications in order to perform this procedure. Refer to
Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools", if necessary.

Results:
2. Access the Fuel System Verification Test by accessing the following display screens:
◾ "Diagnostics"
◾ "Diagnostic Tests"
If the injector passes the test, the injector is OK. Cat ET will clear the code.
STOP
b. Flash program the trim file for the new injector into the ECM. Refer to
Troubleshooting, "Injector Trim File - Install", if necessary.
c. Perform the Fuel System Verification Test again. This action will clear the
active diagnostic code for the new injector.
Verify that the original condition has been resolved.
STOP
