Table 1

The ECM has the ability to compensate for mechanical differences between the Top Center (TC) of the flywheel and the TC of the timing gear on
the camshaft.

An "Engine Timing Calibration Not Performed" code is activated if a timing calibration is required.

TC of the Flywheel - The ECM determines the TC of the flywheel via a signal from a magnetic transducer. The transducer is installed into the side
of the engine block. The transducer creates a signal as a notch on a crankshaft counterweight rotates past the transducer.

TC of the Timing Gear - The ECM determines the TC of the timing gear by signals from the engine speed/timing sensors.

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

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:
Note: Refer to Illustration 1 or Illustration 2. The 170-3519 Harness can be connected to the P1 connector or to the P2 connector. Select the
connector with the easiest access.

b. Refer to Table 5. 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.

c. Disregard the pin-outs on the label of the harness. Install the WH(White) wire of the 170-3519 Harness into the appropriate location.

d. Install the YL(Yellow) wire of the 170-3519 Harness into the appropriate location.
Note: Ensure that each wire is installed into the correct location. The timing calibration will not be successful if the wires are installed
incorrectly.

e. 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 a code for timing calibration that is active at this time.

Results:

OK - There are no active diagnostic codes or there is only a code that is active for timing calibration at this time. Proceed to Test Step 5.

Not OK - There is at least one active code that is not a code for timing calibration.
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:

11. 10. 2021. 09:28 SIS 2.0

Cat ET indicates that the timing is calibrated.

Results:

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 ECM 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 2-pin connector in order to prevent moisture and debris from entering the
connector.

8. Return the engine to service.

STOP

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.
