Test Step 6. Create an Open at the ECM
- Turn the keyswitch to the OFF
position.
- Disconnect the 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.
- 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 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 ECM.
Repair: Disconnect the P2 ECM connector.
Measure the resistance between the supply wire for the suspect compression
brake solenoid and every terminal on ECM connector P1 and ECM connector P2.
Measure the resistance between the supply wire for the suspect compression
brake solenoid and engine ground. If the wire is shorted, replace the
wire.Measure the resistance between the return wire for the suspect compression
brake solenoid and every terminal on ECM connector P1 and ECM connector P2. If the wire is shorted, replace the wire.
STOP
- Not OK - A high current
diagnostic code (06) is logged at this time. The ECM did not
detect the open.
Repair: Replace the ECM. Refer to
Troubleshooting, "Replacing the ECM". Verify that the problem is
resolved.
STOP
Test Step 7. Create a Short Circuit at the Compression Brake Solenoid
- Turn the keyswitch to the OFF
position.
- Remove the valve
cover.
- Reconnect the valve cover
connector.
- Disconnect the connector on the
suspect compression brake solenoid.
- Inspect the terminals on the
solenoid connector for damage.
- Fabricate a jumper wire in
order to short the two wires for the suspect solenoid on the solenoid
connector. Crimp a pin to each end of the jumper wire.
- Make sure that the solenoid
connector securely holds the jumper wire.
Note: Worn terminals and/or damaged
terminals on the solenoid connector could cause an intermittent
"Open".
- 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.
Results:
- OK - A high current
diagnostic code (06) is logged at this time. The harness wiring between
the solenoid connector for the suspect compression brake solenoid and ECM
connector P2 is OK.
Repair: Temporarily connect a new
compression brake solenoid to the harness, but do not install the new
compression brake solenoid in the engine. Verify that there are no active
diagnostic codes for the compression brake solenoid. If there are no active
diagnostic codes for the compression brake solenoid, permanently install the
new compression brake solenoid. Clear any logged diagnostic
codes.
