- OK - A high current
diagnostic code (06) is logged at this time. The harness wiring between
the valve cover connector for the suspect compression brake solenoid and
ECM connector P2 is OK. Proceed to Test Step 7.
- Not OK - A low current
diagnostic code 05 is active at this time. The ECM did not detect the
short at the valve cover connector for the compression brake solenoid. Proceed to Test Step 4.
Test Step 4. Create a Short Circuit at the ECM
- Turn the keyswitch to the OFF
position.
- Disconnect the J2/P2 ECM
connector.
- Inspect the terminals on the J2
and P2 ECM connectors for damage.
Note: Refer to the Figure 4 for pin
locations.
- Remove the return wire and the
supply wire for the suspect compression brake solenoid from the P2 ECM
connector.
- Fabricate a jumper wire in
order to short the two pins for the suspect compression brake solenoid at
the ECM. Crimp a socket to each end of the jumper wire. Insert
the jumper wire into the P2 ECM connector.
- Reconnect the P2 ECM connector.
- Turn the keyswitch to the ON
position.
- Access the "Special
Tests" under the "Diagnostics" menu.
- Start the "Compression
Brake Solenoid Test" on Cat ET.
- Once Cat ET displays the status
of the compression brake solenoid, stop the "Compression Brake
Solenoid Test".
- Check for active diagnostic
codes and/or logged diagnostic codes that are associated with the
compression brake solenoids.
Expected Result:
A high current diagnostic code (06) is logged at this time.
Note: Disconnecting the supply wire for the suspect compression brake
solenoid will cause an "Open" in the compression brake solenoid that
shares the supply wire with the suspect compression brake solenoid.
Results:
- OK - A high current
diagnostic code (06) is logged at this time. The ECM
detected the short.
Repair: Check continuity of the supply
wire for the suspect compression brake solenoid between the valve cover
connector for the suspect compression brake solenoid and P2. If the wire is
open, replace the wire.Check continuity of the return wire for the suspect
compression brake solenoid between the valve cover connector for the suspect
compression brake solenoid and P2. If the wire is open, replace
the wire.
STOP
- Not OK - A low current
diagnostic code 05 is active at this time. The ECM did not
detect the short circuit.
Repair: Replace the ECM. Refer to
Troubleshooting, "Replacing the ECM". Verify that the problem is
resolved.
STOP
Test Step 5. Open the Wires of the Suspect Compression Brake Solenoid at
the Valve Cover Connector
- Turn the keyswitch to the OFF
position.
- Disconnect the valve cover
connector for the suspect compression brake solenoid.
- Turn the keyswitch to the ON
position.
- Access the "Special
Tests" under the "Diagnostics" menu.
- Start the "Compression
Brake Solenoid Test" on Cat ET.
- Once Cat ET displays the status
of the compression brake solenoid, stop the "Compression Brake
Solenoid Test".
- Check for active diagnostic
codes and/or logged diagnostic codes that are associated with the compression
brake solenoids.
Expected Result:
A low current diagnostic code (05) is active at this time.
Results:
- OK - A low current
diagnostic code (05) is active at this time. The ECM detected the open at
the valve cover connector for the compression brake solenoid. The harness
wiring between the valve cover connector for the suspect compression brake
solenoid and ECM connector P2 is OK. Proceed to Test Step 8.
- Not OK - A high current
diagnostic code (06) is logged at this time. The ECM did not detect the
open at the valve cover connector for the compression brake solenoid. Proceed to Test Step 6.
