Follow the troubleshooting procedure in order to identify the root cause of the fault.

Note: The following conditions must exist before any of the above codes will become active:

The ECM has been powered for at least 2 seconds.

There are no active 168-X diagnostic codes.

The ECM will log the diagnostic code. If equipped, the warning light will come on.

The following background information is related to this procedure:

The troubleshooting procedures for the diagnostic codes of each temperature sensor are identical. The temperature sensors have two terminals. The signal line is
connected to each sensor connector terminal 1. Terminal 2 is the return line. The signal voltage from terminal 1 of each sensor is supplied to the appropriate
terminal in the P2/J2 connector or the P1/J1 connector.

Pull-up Voltage

https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisweb/mediasearch/mediaheaderinfoframeset.jsp&calledpa… 2/5
9/12/2019 950L Wheel Loader TNS00001-UP (MACHINE) POWERED BY C7.1 Engine(M0066204 - 28) - Documentation
The ECM continuously outputs a pull-up voltage on the circuit for the sensor signal wire. The ECM uses this pull-up voltage in order to detect an open in the
signal circuit. When the ECM detects a voltage above a threshold on the signal circuit, an open circuit diagnostic code (XXX-3) is generated for the sensor.

If the sensor is disconnected, pull-up voltage at the connector indicates that the wires are not open or shorted to ground. If the sensor is disconnected, the absence
of pull-up voltage indicates an open in the signal wire or a short to ground. If the sensor is disconnected and the voltage is different from pull-up voltage, the signal
wire is shorted to another wire in the harness.
