The Engine Control Switch (ECS) (20) has four positions. The ECS is used to control the engine. The
Instrument Panels for Locomotive Engines are not equipped with the Engine Control Switch.

1. The OFF/RESET position removes power from the engine for an immediate engine shutdown. Fault
indicators are reset.

2. The AUTO position allows a remote start/stop switch to be used to power up the ECM from a
remote location. See the NOTE that follows Step 4. Three modes are available from the remote
switch.

STOP sleep mode (low power consumption).

COOLDOWN/STOP engine cooldown (if programmed to cooldown) - stop mode.

MAN/START cycle crank sequence - engine running mode.

On Generator Set applications, the ECS must be in the AUTO position in order to use a Customer
Communication Module (CCM). A Customer Communication Module (CCM) is used in order to
remotely start the engine. In order to remotely start the engine, the operator must have a personal
computer (PC). The PC is required to have the software for the customer communication module
(CCM). The PC may be directly connected to the customer communication module (CCM) or the
PC may be equipped for remote communications with a modem.

3. The MAN/START position begins the cycle crank sequence. The engine is allowed to continue
running once the crank terminate speed is reached.

4. If the engine is programmed for cooldown mode, the COOLDOWN/STOP position places the
engine in cooldown mode. Fuel injection is then terminated in order to stop the engine.

Note: The customer uses connector "C" (18) to wire the remote start/stop switch into the system. This
allows the customer to control the engine from a remote location. Customer connector "C" (18) and
customer connector "D" (17) are used to wire the customer communication module (CCM) into the
system.

The Emergency Stop Push Button (10) and (32) is used to quickly stop the engine during emergency
situations. The emergency stop push button (10) and (32) removes power from the engine ECM and the
Main Display Module (2) and (23). Also, the emergency stop push button activates the air shutoff. The air
shutoffs may not be installed.

Note: The Emergency Stop Push button is NOT to be used for normal, non-emergency shutdowns.

This button is located on the junction box of Locomotive Engines. The button is used for normal stopping.
When this button is pressed, fuel injection is disabled.

If the ether system is ordered with an engine package, the instrument panel will include the Starting Aid
switch (5). The Starting Aid switch (5) is used to provide the method of manually injecting ether during
engine start-up. This switch is normally in the AUTO position, which allows the electronic control module
(ECM) to automatically control ether injection. If the operator holds the Starting Aid switch in the
MANUAL position, the electronic control module (ECM) will signal ether injection. The injection will
proceed according to the strategy that is explained in the Engine Operation And Maintenance Manual.

The electronic panel contains three switches that are used for controlling the Main Display Module (2) .

1. The "CLEAR/MODE" switch (7) or (25) is used to move between the available modes of operation.
Also, the "CLEAR/MODE" switch is used to clear the information that is currently displayed on the
Main Display Module (2) and (23). The Main Display Module (2) or (23) will cycle through the
different modes of operation when the "CLEAR/MODE" Switch (7) or (25) is held down in the
MODE position. When the desired mode is reached, release the "CLEAR/MODE" Switch (7) or
(25). The Main Display Module (2) or (23) will remain in that mode of operation until the
"CLEAR/MODE" Switch (7) or (25) is held down again. If the information that is being displayed
by Main Display Module (2) or (23) is not needed, then the information should be removed from
memory. The information can be cleared by holding the "CLEAR/MODE" Switch (7) and (25) up
for approximately one second until the information disappears from Main Display Module (2) or
(23) .

2. The "SCROLL" Switch (6) and (24) is used to scroll through the various parameters that are
available in a single mode. The Main Display Module (2) and (23) will scroll through the parameter
display information that is available in the selected mode. When the "SCROLL" switch (6) or (24)
is held in the UP position, the Main Display Module will scroll. If the continuous display of a
parameter is desired, hold the "SCROLL" switch (6) or (24) in the UP position, until the desired
information is displayed. Next, release the "SCROLL" Switch (6) or (24) when the desired
information is displayed. The parameter information will remain displayed until Main Display
Module (2) or (23) receives another switch signal.

3. "LH/RH" Switch (8) or (26) is used to display both the right hand and left hand parameter
information on a single gauge. Right hand values and left hand values for the exhaust temperature
measurements and inlet air restriction measurements can be displayed on the Electronic Instrument
boxes that are equipped with a second Quad Gauge Module (9) or (31). When the Quad Gauge
Module is displaying the parameter information for the exhaust temperature or the inlet air
restriction, the "LH/RH" switch (8) or (26) can be toggled.

The Alarm is activated by the Main Display Module. The Alarm is turned ON when there is a parameter
that is out of range. The Alarm is also turned ON for active diagnostic faults.

Alarm Silence Switch (13) or (28) is a push button that allows the operator to turn off Alarm (14) or (29)

once the alarm has sounded. Activating the switch will silence the alarm for five minutes. After the five
minute period, if the condition that initiated the alarm has not been corrected, the Alarm (14) or (29) will
sound again.

The junction box can be connected directly to the engine wiring harness that is located next to the engine
ECM. The junction box may be installed remotely from the engine. The Locomotive OEM connects the
interconnect wiring harness from the engine wiring harness to the engine connectors on the junction box.

Inside the electronic instrument panel in the upper left hand corner, there are three switches. The switches
are used to perform the functions below for Generator Set applications.

Manual Start Crank Switch (MANCS) (2)

Overspeed Verify Switch (OSS) (3)

High/Low Idle Switch (LIS) (1)

For marine applications, the switches are used for the functions that are listed below.

Manual Start Crank Switch (MANCS) (2)

Overspeed Verify Switch (OSS) (3)

Prelube Override Switch (PLOS) (1)

Engine Protection Override Switch (EPOS) (4). This switch is used on marine propulsion engines
that were built after April 1997 only.

Illustration 1 g00526769

Note: The Prelube Override Switch is present only if the prelube pump (attachment) is part of the engine
package. The parameter of the prelube pump must be turned ON by the electronic service tool for this
function to work.

The MANUAL START CRANK SWITCH (2) permits cranking of the engine by the operator while other
controls or protection systems are being overridden. Therefore, the starting motors can be engaged even
when the engine control switch is in the OFF/RESET position. Also, the starting motors can be engaged
when the engine ECM has completed the cycle crank sequence or when the engine ECM has completed a
remote shutdown command. The "Manual Start Crank" switch has the following uses.

System troubleshooting

Engine maintenance

On engines that are equipped with two electronic control modules, the switch will restart the engine
when the backup engine control module (ECM) is in control. the switch will restart the engine.

Only marine propulsion engines are equipped with more than one ECM (two). Otherwise, the Manual
Start Crank switch should not be used for normal operation of the engine.

Note: The Manual Start Crank Switch must be used to start the engine when the backup ECM is in
control.

The Engine Protection Override Switch allows the operator to override the strategies for protection of the
propulsion engine Caterpillar Monitoring System. The switch is provided for use in emergency situations
when the engine must be operated at full capacity immediately. The switch may be used during a derate
condition or a shutdown condition. The switch may not be used during an overspeed shutdown. The
switch may also be used to prevent an engine shutdown during critical maneuvers.

The Engine Protection Override Switch is a two-position ON/OFF switch. When the Engine Protection
Override Switch is in the OFF position, the Caterpillar Monitoring System will operate normally.

When the Engine Protection Override Switch is in the ON position, the Engine Protection Override Switch
is disabled. The warnings and the overspeed shutdown will continue to function normally. When the
Engine Protection Override Switch is in the ON position, the engine will perform as though there are no
active derates or no active shutdowns. If the engine has already had a shutdown, the engine can be

restarted. The alarm conditions and the events will continue to function normally.

When the Engine Protection Override Switch is placed in the ON position, an event will be logged in the
ECM. An event will be logged in the ECM when the switch is returned to the OFF position. No delay is
required for use of the Engine Protection Override Switch.

The OVERSPEED VERIFY Switch (3) allows the operator to verify that the overspeed protection system
is properly working. When the switch is activated, the engine ECM will perform an engine overspeed
shutdown at 75 percent of the engine overspeed trip point. The overspeed verify switch is intended to be
used for troubleshooting and verification of engine protection systems.

The "HIGH/LOW" Idle Switch (1) allows the operator of the Generator Set to hold the engine speed at the
low idle setting. The electronic service tool is used to program the low idle setting. When the
"HIGH/LOW" Idle Switch is activated, the engine speed will be governed at the low idle setting. If the
"HIGH/LOW" Idle Switch is deactivated, the engine speed will be governed to the high idle setting. The
"HIGH/LOW" Idle Switch is intended to be used for troubleshooting.

The PRELUBE OVERRIDE Switch (1) allows the operator of a marine propulsion engine to override the
prelube pump sequence during normal engine start-up. The override will occur if there is an attached
prelube pump as part of the engine system. The engine ECM will not initiate an engine prelube sequence
prior to cranking the engine, when the prelube override switch is activated. The engine ECM will
immediately begin to crank the engine without prelubing first. The prelube override switch is intended to
be used for immediate engine starting during emergency situations.

Note: Inside the Locomotive Junction Box, there is one switch in the middle of the box. The switch is
used for verification of engine overspeed.

A number of circuit breakers are inside the electronic instrument panel that are used to protect the
electrical system and the electrical wiring. The following circuits are protected by circuit breakers.

Normal Mode or Mode 0 is used during normal engine operation. The Quad Gauge Electronic Module
shows the conditions that are listed below to the operator when the Main Display Module is in Normal
Mode.

Proper operation of the monitoring system is shown. A Self-Test is performed. The Self-Test causes
all of the display elements and gauges to operate briefly. For more information on this subject, see
Systems Operation, "System Self Test".

A value for the system condition is shown. The Main Display Module continuously monitors engine
systems. The needles in the Quad Gauge Electronic Modules indicate a normal operating condition
when the needles are pointing straight up. Also, a normal operating condition may be represented
when the needle is not pointing straight up.

The system shows if an engine problem exists. When an abnormal condition (problem) exists, the
corresponding Indicator Lamp flashes and the Alarm sounds. For more information on this subject,
see Systems Operation, "Warning Operation".

The system shows if a diagnostic code exists. The Main Display Module continuously checks for
diagnostic codes in the Caterpillar Electronic Control Module (ECM). When a diagnostic code is
detected, the display area shows "SERV CODE" and the "Shutdown/Diagnostic" Alert Indicator
lights.

The Tachometer Parameter is shown in Illustration 1. Engine speed is displayed on the six digit
display area, when the units indicator shows "RPM". The Main Display Module receives engine
speed information from the engine ECM through the CAT Data Link. Use the "SCROLL" switch in
order to toggle between the Tachometer Parameter and the Service Meter Parameter.

Numeric Readout Mode (Mode 1) assists Service Personnel with information about Load Consumption
and the troubleshooting of sensor inputs. The information about Load Consumption is displayed on the
Display Area only. The CAT Data Link and the sensor inputs supply information for the positions of the
needles that are on the gauge cluster modules.

Mode 1 more accurately shows the same information that is shown on the gauges in Mode 0. The system
identifier "LOAd", "FO-X" or "GA-X" precedes the value that is shown on the display area. In addition to
the parameter value that is shown on the display area, the gauge needle for the parameter value that is
displayed is active while all other gauges fall to the minimum position.

In order to enter Mode 1, hold down the "CLEAR/MODE" Switch until "-1-" appears on the Display
Area. Use the "SCROLL" Switch in order to advance the display to the next parameter value. The Display
Area will momentarily show the system identifiers "LOAd", "FO-X" or "GA-X". After the system
identifier appears, the Display Area shows the parameter value.

Mode 0: Service Code Indicator ON

Service Mode (Mode 2) assists service personnel with the troubleshooting of diagnostic codes. All the
recorded diagnostic codes can be cleared from memory while the operator is in Mode 2.

Note: Events can not be viewed through the main display module. Events can only be viewed using the
CAT ET Service Tool.

In order to enter Mode 2, hold down the "CLEAR/MODE" switch until "-2-" appears in the display area.
Three identifiers are used to specify each detected diagnostic code. These identifiers are shown on the
Display Area. The Display Area alternately shows the Module Identifier (MID). The Component Identifier
(CID) and the Failure Mode Identifier (FMI) are then shown on the Display Area. The Display alternates
continuously between the MID and the CID FMI. Identifiers include the following items.

Module Identifier (MID) - The MID is a three digit code that is shown on the six digit Display Area. The
MID is displayed for approximately one second, before the CID FMI is shown in place of the MID. The
MID helps the operator to determine the electronic control module that has generated the diagnostic code.
Some values that may be seen for the MID are given in the following list.

Main Display Module 030

Primary Engine Control Module 033, 034 or 036

Secondary Engine Control Module 047

De-Nox Control 076

Customer Communication Module 097

Programmable Relay Control Module 099

Component Identifier (CID) - The CID is shown on the first four digits or the first three digits of the six
digit Display Area. The CID and the FMI are displayed together. The MID is followed by the CID FMI in
the Display Area. The CID identifies the component or the subsystem that has generated a diagnostic
code. For a listing of the CID codes, see the chart that is attached to the left side of the Electronic
Instrument Panel. One example of a detected diagnostic is the "THROTTLE SIGNAL OUTPUT IS
ABNORMAL".

Note: Earlier models display three digits for the CID. The fourth digit has been added to the CID in order
to provide the ability to develop four digit codes.

Illustration 2 g00533391

Failure Mode Identifier (FMI) - The FMI is shown on the last two digits of the six digit Display Area.
The FMI begins with the decimal point or an "F". The FMI ends with the two digit code. The CID FMI is
displayed immediately after the MID. The diagnostic code that is generated is revealed to the operator
through the FMI. A listing of the codes that are used for the FMI may be found on the left side of the
Electronic Instrument Panel. The example that follows is for "THROTTLE SIGNAL OUTPUT IS
ABNORMAL".

Note: "F" is used on the earlier models in order to distinguish between the digits of the CID and the digits
of the FMI. The "F" has been removed in order to allow the fourth digit in the CID to be added, and the
decimal point is the separation between the CID and the FMI.

Upon entering Service Mode or Mode 2, the MID and the CID FMI for the first available diagnostic code
are shown in the Display Area. At this time, the diagnostic code that is shown is "on-hold". The display
continuously alternates between the MID and the CID FMI when a diagnostic code is "on-hold".

The "SERV CODE" indicator signifies if the diagnostic code is active or logged. The diagnostic code is
logged when the "SERV CODE" indicator is OFF. The Alarm will sound if a diagnostic code goes from the
logged status to the active status during the display of Mode 2. This will assist the service personnel in
finding intermittent problems.

Use the "SCROLL" switch in order to advance to the next recorded diagnostic code. Using the
"SCROLL" switch will show all of the diagnostic codes that were recorded one at a time in the Display
Area.

The service personnel must clear the diagnostic code from memory when a diagnostic code is corrected. A
diagnostic code is corrected when the "SERV CODE" is OFF. A diagnostic code that is logged may be
cleared from memory by pushing the "MODE/CLEAR" switch to the UP position while the code is
displayed in the Display Area.

Note: When no diagnostic codes are detected, the Display Area will show the following reading.

In order to enter Mode 3, hold down the "CLEAR/MODE" switch until "-3-" appears in the Display Area.
After the operator enters Mode 3 the Display Area will show the following reading.

Illustration 1 g00533585

Tattletale Mode or Mode 3 is a tool that is used for management. The history of the engine may be found
by using Mode 3. The Main Display Module records the extreme values for each engine condition that is
monitored. The values come from the sensor input and the engine ECM through the CAT Data Link. The
Tattletale values are updated whenever a more extreme value occurs than the value that is previously
recorded. These values are ignored for a short period of time after each engine start-up. This allows the
engine systems to stabilize before old values can be updated with new values.

The gauges show the highest value or the gauges show the lowest value that has been attained by the
corresponding engine subsystem. The highest reading is for values that abnormally decrease.

In order to more accurately show the information that is represented on the gauges, use the "SCROLL"
switch in order to advance the Display Area to the first tattletale value. The Display Area will
momentarily show the system identifier "GA-X". The system identifier is then followed by the tattletale
value. See the chart that is located in Systems Operation, "Numeric Readout Mode".

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Illustration 2 g00533586

Press the "SCROLL" switch again for each succeeding tattletale value. Only the system identifiers for the
quad gauge electronic modules that are present are shown on the Display Area. For example, if only one
quad gauge electronic module is present, system identifiers "GA-1", "GA-2", "GA-3" and "GA-4" will be
shown. If an additional quad gauge electronic module is present, "GA-5", "GA-6", "GA-7" and "GA-8"
will be shown. The pattern continues for additional quad gauge electronic modules. The system identifier
"GA-X" precedes the value that is shown in the Display Area. In addition to the tattletale value that is
shown in the Display Area, the gauge needle for the tattletale value that is displayed is active. All other
gauges fall to minimum positions.

Note: While the Main Display Module is in Normal Mode, the Indicator Lamps of the Main Display
Module turn ON when an abnormal condition has occurred.

Information about the Tattletale is retained until the information is cleared from the memory of the Main
Display Module. Clearing all information about the Tattletale from the memory of the Main Display
Module is done by pushing the "MODE/CLEAR" switch to the UP position while "- -" is displayed in the
Display Area. After clearing, all information about the tattletale is reset to a nominal value and the
recording of new extreme values can begin. Individual gauge tattletale values can be cleared one at a time
by pushing the "MODE/CLEAR" switch to the UP while the gauge tattletale value is being displayed in
the Display Area.

Note: The date, time or duration of the occurrence of the tattletale value is not recorded.

The Caterpillar Monitoring System notifies the operator of an immediate problem or an impending
problem with various engine systems operation. Warning operation begins when the Main Display Module
receives a signal that reflects an abnormal engine condition or the Main Display Module detects a problem
with the control system. Switches, sensors and the engine control module (ECM) provide information to
the Main Display Module. The warning information consists of the following elements.

An open switch is provided. When a condition exceeds the trip point of the switch, the switch
opens.

A sensor signal that exceeds the limits of the trip point is provided. The Main Display Module
determines the limits.

Abnormal engine condition is detected and provided by the engine control module (ECM). The
abnormal conditions are communicated over the CAT Data Link to the Main Display Module.

Note: The trip points of the monitoring system can be modified through the "ET" Electronic Service Tool.

The Main Display Module receives the information and the Main Display Module processes the
information. The result of the processing is displayed on the Indicator Lamps of the Main Display Module.
The Alarm sounds if an abnormal condition exists. The following items are functions of the warning
indication.

The Main Display Module will flash the appropriate Indicator Lamp. The Lamp will flash at a rate
of nine times per second.

The Main Display Module will sound the Alarm. The Alarm will be ON one second and the Alarm
will be OFF for two seconds.

When the troubleshooting procedure instructs the operator to repair the harness, use the Electrical System
Schematic in the engine Service Manual to trace the circuit. Less than 5 ohms of resistance is required
between the connector and ground. Ground resistance that is greater than 5 ohms can cause incorrect
diagnosing of problems.

During troubleshooting, inspect all components and harness connections before any component is
replaced. If these connections are not clean and tight, the connections can cause permanent electrical
problems or intermittent electrical problems. Check that the wires are pushed into the connectors all the
way. Perform a pull test on the connector and the wires in order to confirm that the contacts are snapped
into place. Make sure that the connections are tight before any other tests are performed. Problems with
one electrical component can cause problems with one or more other electrical components. The operator
should always attempt to find the cause of the electrical system problems and the operator should correct
the cause of the electrical system problems before the operator replaces the component.

This diagnostic code is recorded when the Main Display Module does not receive expected information
from the Quad Gauge Cluster Modules. When the Main Display Module sends information to the Quad
Gauge Cluster Module, the Quad Gauge Cluster Module sends information back to the Main Display
Module. The returned information verifies that the Quad Gauge Cluster Module has correctly received the
original information that was sent from the Main Display Module. When the Main Display Module does
not receive the expected information, the diagnostic code is recorded. As a result, the Quad Gauge Cluster
Modules may not respond to the information that is sent from the Main Display Module while the Main
Display Module is in Normal Mode (Mode 0). Check for loose connections to the display data link or poor
connections to the display data link. Check for opens or shorts in the harness wiring of the display data
link. During the self test, problems with the Quad Gauge Cluster Modules can be determined. The self test
occurs immediately after turning the "ECS" switch from the OFF/RESET position to the AUTO position,
the MAN/START position, or the COOLDOWN/STOP position. For more information on this subject, see
Testing And Adjusting, "System Self Test".

Note: This diagnostic code can also be caused by a harness code that is not correct for the application. A
mismatch with the harness code is not likely to be the cause of this diagnostic code in an application that
has been working normally in the past. In a new installation, a mismatch with the harness code is most
likely to be the cause of the diagnostic code. For more information regarding the selection of harness
codes, see Systems Operation, "Quad Guage Module".

The main display module is unable to identify system errors in simple open switch circuits or close switch
circuits. No information (CID FMI) is available to assist the operator with troubleshooting.

During normal operation, the possible fault conditions for the low coolant level switch are listed below.

The alert indicator ALWAYS FLASHES for the coolant level switch. In order to troubleshoot the
"Always FLASHING" condition, see Alert Indicator Lamp Always FLASHING.

The alert indicator NEVER FLASHES for the coolant level switch. For the "NEVER FLASHES"
procedure, see Alert Indicator Lamp NEVER FLASHES.

Note: The indicator shows the open condition or the ground condition of the switch inputs. When the low
coolant level switch is open, the alert indicator for the low coolant level switch FLASHES. When the
input for the low coolant level is grounded, the alert indicator for the low coolant level switch is OFF.
Therefore, in order to check a circuit, while the service person is watching for the correct result on the
alert indicator, the service person is required to open switch number 6 (pin 32) and ground switch number
6 (pin 32).

This procedure is for the coolant level switch with a continuously flashing alert indicator.

The "ALWAYS FLASHING" condition is probably caused by an undesired open circuit or a faulty main
display module (unlikely condition).

The harness code for the Caterpillar Monitoring System must match the application in order to function
properly. If the harness code does not match the application, the following problems may occur:

loss of event notification

incorrect data displays

incorrect gauge needle positions

activation of diagnostic codes

Generally, once an engine is put into service there is no reason to change the harness code. During
installation, the customer may decide to install optional sensors or optional gauges that were not initially
ordered with the engine. Changing these components may require a different harness code.

Check the current selection for the harness code and compare the current harness code with the
description in Systems Operation, "Quad Gauge Module". Determine if the harness code is correct for the
application.

There are six pins on the back of the Caterpillar Monitoring System that are used to select the harness
code. The pins are grounded or the pins are left open in various combinations for each application. The
pins that are grounded are connected to the negative battery terminal block ("TB-2"). The negative
battery terminal block ("TB-2") is located on the inside of the Instrument Panel. On the wiring schematic,
the negative battery terminal block is labelled as "TB-2".

Because of the large number of wires that are located on the inside of the Electronic Instrument Panel,
determining the pins that are connected to the ground becomes difficult to do visually. There are two
accurate methods for determining the harness code.

Harness Code Mode 5 Display (not available on all versions of the Caterpillar Monitoring System)

A multimeter may be used to check the harness code that is located on the Caterpillar Monitoring
Systems without Mode 5.

Note: If a ground wire is connected to "pin A", the harness code pin is not necessarily grounded. The
other end of the wire may be tied to the harness and the wire may not be connected to "TB-2". This
procedure is done so that the same wiring harness can be used during manufacturing regardless of the
harness code.

1. Check The Harness Code Selection Of The Caterpillar Monitoring System.

2. For 153-1929 Engine Monitoring Control (Caterpillar Monitoring System) and earlier modules,
proceed to 5.

3. For 155-8653 Engine Monitoring Control (Caterpillar Monitoring System) and newer modules, turn
the Engine Control Switch (ECS) to the COOLDOWN/STOP position.

4. In order to check the harness code, use Harness Code Mode 5. For more information about Harness
Code Mode 5, see Systems Operation, "Harness Code Mode". STOP.

5. For the 153-1929 Engine Monitoring Control and earlier Caterpillar Monitoring Systems, use a
multimeter to check for continuity between the pins for the harness code and Terminal Block 2
(TB-2). Do NOT rely on a visual inspection.

6. The pins that determine the harness code are located on the back of the Caterpillar Monitoring
System. The harness code is identified by certain pins of the 40 pin connector. pin 31, pin 3, pin 21,
pin 22, pin 16 and pin 6.

7. If a 7x-1708 Multimeter Probe (Red) or a 7x-1709 Multimeter Probe (Black) is available, the
continuity check can be made without removing the wires from the 40 pin connector.

8. If the probe adapters are not available, use a 121-9587 Wire Removal Tool to remove the harness
code wire from the connector.

9. Record each measurement as the measurements are taken. An example is given below.

And JWAC". Pin 3 should be ungrounded in order to change from harness code 5 to harness
code 7.

2. Turn the Engine Control Switch (ECS) to the OFF/RESET position.

a. In order to change the Harness Code, wires must be grounded or ungrounded.

Note: Pins are grounded by connecting the pins to the "-Battery" terminal block that is
located on the inside of the instrument panel. On the wiring schematic, the terminal block is
labelled "TB-2". Refer to 1. A pin for the harness code is not always grounded if a ground
wire is connected to the pin. The other end of the wire may be tied in the harness and the wire
may not be connected to TB-2. The wire is tied so that the same wiring harness can be used
during manufacturing regardless of the harness code.

b. Grounding A Harness Code Pin. For this step, refer to item 4 in 1. If the wires are not
connected to TB-2,the wires can be tied back to this location. The wire can be identified by
the printed label at the end of the wire. The label follows the format "EMS (number) TB-2".
"Number" represents the pin number of the harness code. The wire terminates at the pin.
After locating the wire that needs to be grounded, remove the heat shrink insulation that
covers the end of the wire. Ground the wire by connecting the wire to TB-2. Replace the tie
wraps as replacement is necessary.

c. Procedure To Unground A Harness Code Pin. Identify the wire that is described above as
being connected to the pin of the Caterpillar Monitoring System that should be ungrounded.
Disconnect the end of the wire that is connected to TB-2. Insulate the newly exposed end of
the wire and tie back to the harness.

Note: The new harness code will not take effect until power to the Caterpillar Monitoring
System is cycled.

3. Verify That The Harness Code Was Changed Successfully.

a. Check the harness code by using the Procedure For Checking The Harness Code.

The Self-Test verifies that the Main Display Module and the Gauge Cluster Modules are operating
properly. The Main Display Module performs an automatic Self-Test each time that the "ECS" switch is
turned from the OFF/RESET position to the AUTO position, MAN/START position or the
COOLDOWN/STOP position.

Note: When the "ECS" switch is in the AUTO position, the Main Display Module receives power only
when the Remote START/STOP switch is in the MAN/START position or the COOLDOWN/STOP
position.

The internal circuits and the outputs are automatically checked. The operator must observe the outputs in
order to determine whether the modules and the outputs are operating properly. The Indicator Lamps and
the Display Area are tested for approximately one second.

Prior to the replacement of a module, ensure that the replacement is absolutely necessary. A module is
seldom the cause of a problem. Always check that the harness code is correct for the Main Display
Module and that power is available to the Main Display Module. For information about a Harness Code,
see Systems Operation, "Quad Gauge Module".

1. Turn the "ECS" switch to the OFF/RESET position. Disconnect the engine harness from the Main
Display Module.

2. Make sure that the Replacement Module has the correct part number.

3. Remove the old module and install the Replacement Module.

Note: If the Replacement Module was previously removed from service, see Testing And Adjusting,
"Main Display Module Initialization - Adjust".

4. Connect the engine harness to the Replacement Module.

5. Turn the "ECS" switch to the COOLDOWN/STOP position. Make sure that the Replacement
Module and the Quad Gauge Electronic Modules successfully complete the Self Test. For more
information on this subject, see Testing And Adjusting, "System Self Test".

The Main Display Module Initialization is an internal process that occurs within the Main Display Module.
During the Main Display Module Initialization, the Main Display Module monitors the CAT Data Link.
Also, the Main Display Module monitors the inputs for the harness code. During the Main Display Module
Initialization, the Main Display Module learns about the engine that is being monitored.

The Main Display Module Initialization typically occurs when the Main Display Module is replaced. The
harness code is new when the Main Display Module is replaced. However, when a previously used Main
Display Module is used as a replacement, the procedure of initialization is necessary. Unexplained
diagnostics with the CAT Data Link can occur if the Main Display Module is not initialized correctly. The
service person must activate the process for the Main Display Module Initialization when the following
condition exists or the condition is suspected.

The Main Display Module that will be installed was taken out of service from an application that had the
same harness code as the Main Display Module that will be removed.

Perform the Main Display Module Initialization if the preceding condition exists or this condition is
expected.

This procedure causes the process of the Main Display Module Initialization to occur on any Main Display
Module. In order to perform the Main Display Module Initialization, the Main Display Module must be
powered up with a valid harness code. The harness code must be different from the previous harness code
that was used to power down the Main Display Module. For a list of valid harness codes, see Systems
Operation, "Quad Gauge Modules".

1. Turn the "ECS" switch to the OFF/RESET position.

2. Disconnect the engine harness from the Main Display Module. Remove the socket or remove the
wire from one of the following holes. The holes for the connectors are 3, 6, 12, 16, 22 or 31.

3. Use black electrical tape to secure the removed socket or the removed wire to the harness bundle.
Make sure that the contact does not touch any metallic components. Reconnect the engine harness
to the Main Display Module.

4. Turn the "ECS" switch to the COOLDOWN/STOP position.

5. Various indicators in the Display Area illuminate. Wait for ten seconds.

6. Turn the "ECS" switch to the OFF/RESET position. Reinstall the socket or reinstall the wire that
was removed in Step 2 into the original position on the connector for the Main Display Module.

7. Turn the "ECS" switch to the COOLDOWN/STOP position. Make sure that the Main Display
Module successfully completes the Self Test. For more information on this subject, see Testing And
Adjusting, "System Self Test". Check the harness code for accuracy. For a list of valid harness
codes, see Systems Operation, "Gauge Cluster Modules".
