ECM Pull Down Voltage
To aid in diagnostics of electrical circuits that are
controlled by the ECM, an internal “pull down
voltage” is connected to ECM switch to battery type
input circuits.
During normal operation, the switch contacts that are
allowing the connection to a voltage source will hold
the circuit high. When circuit conditions such as a
loss of power to the switch supply voltage, a
disconnection in the switch circuit or an open circuit
will allow the circuit to be pulled low by the ECM pull
down voltage. The pull down voltage will result in a
below normal voltage condition at the ECM contact.
As a result, the ECM will activate an FMI 04 (voltage
below normal) diagnostic code for the affected circuit.
Inputs
The machine has several different types of input
devices. The ECM receives machine status
information from the input devices and determines
the correct output action that is needed to control
machine operations based on memory and software
parameters. The machine utilizes the following types
of inputs: switch type and sensor type.
Switches provide signals to the switch inputs of the
ECM. The possible outputs of a switch are listed: an
open signal, a grounded signal and + battery signal.
Sensors provide an electrical signal to the ECM that
constantly changes. The sensor input to the ECM
can be one of several different types of electrical
signals such as: pulse width modulated (PWM)
signals, voltage signals, and frequency input signals.
Refer to the correct pilot machine schematic to verify
each input to the ECM.
The two types of data links are the main structure for
communication between all the control modules on
the machine. More than one CAN data link system
can be present on a machine. Dedicated CAN data
link circuits can be used for communication between
specific controls on the machine.
Communication between the ECM and the other
control modules on the machine are conducted over
the J1939 Data Link circuit that is connected to each
control module. The ECMs use the Cat Data Link to
send and receive information from the Cat ®
Electronic Technician (Cat ET) Service Tool.
A module identifier (MID) is assigned to each ECM
on a machine. For example, the MID for the Machine
ECM is 299.

The diagrams below are simplified schematics of the
ECM connections. The schematics are electrically
correct. However, not all the possible harness

Outputs
The ECM sends electrical signals through the
outputs. The outputs can create an action or the
outputs can provide information to the ECM. The
ECM can send output signals to the system
components in one of several different electrical
signal types such as: driver outputs, sinking driver
outputs, sensor power supply outputs, and data link
outputs. Refer to the correct pilot machine schematic
to verify each output to the ECM.

Input/Output
Communication between the ECM and the other
control modules on the machine is conducted over
data link circuits. The data link circuits allow the
sharing of information with other electronic control
modules. The data link circuits are bidirectional. The
data link circuit allows the ECM to send information
and to receive information.
The ECM supports two types of data link systems.
