engine operating temperature, then perform the test under those operating conditions.
Recommended Actions
Diagnostic Codes
Certain diagnostic codes may cause the engine to shutdown. Connect the electronic service tool and
check for active codes and/or logged codes. Troubleshoot any codes that are present before continuing
with this procedure.
Electrical Connections
1. Check the following connectors and the associated wiring for damage, for abrasion, for
corrosion and for incorrect attachment:
◦ ECM connectors
◦ Customer connectors
◦ Engine speed/timing sensors
◦ unit injector connectors
Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for additional information.
2. Check the battery connections at the customer connector and the P1 ECM connector. Perform a
pull test on all of the wires that are related to the battery connections. Refer to the engine's
Electrical Schematic for the appropriate terminals. The wires should remain in the connectors
during the pull test. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".
3. The problem may occur when the engine is warmed up. Then as the engine cools, the problem
may disappear. The circuit breakers may be exceeding the trip point because of the overheating.
Check the circuit breakers on the engine. Reset the circuit breakers, if necessary.
4. Aftermarket engine protection devices can interrupt power to the ECM. Check for correct
installation and operation of aftermarket engine protection devices. It may be necessary to
bypass aftermarket devices in order to continue testing.
Fuel Supply
Check for a problem with the fuel supply and verify the fuel pressure. Verify that the fuel pressure
sensor is installed. Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System" for additional
information.
Remote Shutdown Switch

Note: Use this procedure only if the engine does not shut down completely.
Probable Causes
• Active engine derate
• Throttle signal
• Electrical connectors
• Fuel supply
Recommended Actions
Active Engine Derate
If an active derate occurs, the warning lamp will flash. "Engine Derate" will appear in the first box for
engine status on the status screen of Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET). Verify that the set
points for "Derate" that are in the Programmable Monitoring System have been programmed to the
values that are correct. An SPN-FMI code will appear for an active derate on a display device for the
J1939 data link.
Throttle Signal
Verify that the "Maximum Trolling Engine Speed" and "Low Idle Speed" are programmed to the
values that are correct. Monitor the parameters for the throttle on the Cat ET. Use Table 1 to monitor
the parameters.
Table 1
Throttle Parameters "Desired Engine Speed"

"Low Idle Speed" 550 rpm to 750 rpm
"Maximum Trolling Engine Speed" 751 rpm to 1200 rpm
The "Desired Engine Speed" and the "Throttle Position" should increase linearly. Both parameters
should increase steadily to the Programmed "high idle". The Desired Engine Speed and the Throttle
Position should decrease linearly. Both parameters should decrease steadily to the Programmed "low
idle". Refer to Troubleshooting, "Throttle Position Sensor Circuit - Test" for additional information.
Electrical Connectors
1. Use Cat ET to check for the following diagnostic code.
◦ CID 168-FMI 02, SPN 168-FMI 02, Flash 51 System Voltage intermittent/erratic
If this diagnostic code is active or logged, refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Power Supply
Circuit - Test".
2. Inspect the battery wires from the ECM back to the battery compartment. Refer to the Electrical
System Schematic. Inspect the wires and the power relay. Check the power and ground
connections to the ECM. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Power Supply Circuit - Test" for
more information.
Fuel Supply
1. Check the fuel lines for the following problems: restrictions, collapsed lines and pinched lines.
If problems are found with the fuel lines, repair the lines and/or replace the lines.
2. Check the fuel tank for foreign objects which may block the fuel supply.
3. Check for air in the low pressure fuel supply system if any of the following procedures have
been performed:
◦ Replacement of the fuel filters
◦ Service on the low pressure fuel supply circuit
◦ Replacement of unit injectors
Note: A sight glass in the low pressure supply line is helpful in diagnosing air in the fuel. Refer
to Testing and Adjusting for more information.
NOTICE
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow
the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking the engine
again.
4. Purge air from the low pressure fuel supply circuit. Refer to Operation and Maintenance
Manual, "Fuel System - Prime" for the correct procedure.
5. Check fuel quality. In temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), check for solidified fuel (wax). Refer to
Special Instruction, SEBD0717, "Diesel Fuels And Your Engine".
6. Check the fuel pressure after the fuel filter while the engine is being cranked. Refer to Testing
and Adjusting for the correct pressure values. If the fuel pressure is low, replace the fuel filters.
If the fuel pressure is still low, check the following items: fuel transfer pump, fuel transfer
pump coupling and fuel pressure regulating valve. Refer to Testing and Adjusting for more
information.

Troll Mode
Traditional Troll - While the traditional Troll Mode is active, pressing, and holding the SVM button (on
the ICH or button panel) will cause the troll Set Engine Speed to increase up to the Max Troll set Speed
value and then pressing the N (Neutral Lockout) will cause the engine speed to decrease to programmed
low idle. The new Troll set Speed will be reset to idle (0 % throttle) when troll mode is deactivated or if the
system power has been reset. Move the throttle lever to control slip (idle position is Max slip, increasing
throttle position decreases slip.
Advanced Troll - Advanced Troll provides greater control of the transmission slip. The throttle lever is
used to control transmission slip in conjunction with engine speed to increase slip at lower engine speeds.
This also provides a smooth transition from troll to the non-troll application. As the throttle increases to the
Max Troll Set Speed, engine speed will increase and the percent slip will decrease from 100 percent at idle
to 20 percent at maximum troll speed (default value 1200 rpm). From maximum troll set speed to WOT the
transmission is fully engaged.

ETP J1939 Connection

1. Connect Cat ET to the Port engine service connector.
2. Select "Powertrain Control".
3. Select the Status icon.
4. Select "Status Group #4".
5. Monitor the ETP Voltage. Is the voltage displayed for this ETP?
YES - The Port side is communicating with the ETP. Continue Troubleshooting in Step 6.
NO - There is a problem with the Port side J1939 communications with the ETP. Troubleshoot the
J1939 wiring from the 6-Pin connector on the engine down to the ETP. IF the wiring is correct,
temporarily replace the ETP and retest.
6. In Cat ET, disconnect the communication to the Port J1939. Unplug the communications adapter on
the Port side and connect it to the Starboard engine service connector.
7. In Cat ET, reconnect the communication to the Starboard J1939.
8. Select "Powertrain Control"
9. Select the Status icon
10. Monitor the ETP Voltage. Is the voltage displayed for this ETP?
YES - The Starboard side is communicating with the ETP. Return to the troubleshooting section
NO - There is a problem with the Starboard side J1939 communications with the ETP. Troubleshoot
the J1939 wiring from the 6-Pin connector on the engine down to the ETP. IF the wiring is correct,
temporarily replace the ETP and retest.
J1939 Wiring Troubleshooting
1. Disconnect the J1939 data link from the PCP. The data link connector is named Throttle/J1939, on
some older PCPs the connector is labeled "ECM/ETP". Measure the resistance between pins 1 and 2.
The resistance should be between 65 and 55 ohms.
OK - The resistance is with in the correct range. There are two terminating resistors on the harness.
NOT OK - The resistance is between 130 and 110 ohms. The data link is missing a terminating
resistor or there is an open circuit in the data link. Go to Step 1.
NOT OK - The resistance is greater than 20K ohms. There is an open circuit in the data link or both
termination resistors are missing. Recheck connectors and repair as required.
2. Disconnect the data link from the tee connector at the PCP J1939 drop.
3. Measure the resistance between pins 1 and 2 on both data link connectors. The resistance should be
between 55 and 65 ohms for each measurement.
OK - The resistance is with in the correct range. Go to Step 2.
NOT OK - The resistance is incorrect. There is an open circuit or missing termination resistor in the
circuit. Continue measuring the resistance down through the circuit until the resistance is within the
correct range. Repair as required.
4. Measure the resistance between the wires and the ETP drop harness. The resistance should be less
than 10 ohms for each measurement. Wiggle the harness during measurement to verify that there is
not an intermittent connection.
OK - The resistance is with in the correct range. Reconnect the system and retest.
NOT OK - The resistance is not in the correct range. Replace the ETP drop harness.

Messenger
Unable to Read Characters on the Display
Probable Cause
• Portions of the display may not light. Part of a character is missing, etc. The unit must be
replaced.
No Power to the Display
Probable Cause
• Make sure that the keyswitch is in the ON position.
• Loose power or loose ground connections to the display
• The battery is dead.
• After checking the above items, if condition still exists refer to the following section of this
manual, "Diagnostic Functional Tests".
No Data Link Communications
Probable Cause
• No connection or an intermittent connection in the J1939 data link to the engine ECM
• Check for improper wiring to the display for communications. Ensure that the display is wired
with twisted pair wiring.
• The engine has no power, intermittent power, or poor ground connections to the engine ECM.
After checking the above items, if a condition still exists refer to Step 4 in the following section
of this manual, "Diagnostic Functional Tests".
