- Perform the "Injector
Solenoid Test" at least two times.
- Repeat this test for each
suspect circuit. Stop the "Injector Solenoid Test" before
handling the jumper wire.
Restore the wiring to the original configuration.
Expected Result:
Cat ET displays "Short" for each circuits that was jumpered.
Results:
- OK - Cat ET displays
"Short" for each circuit that was jumpered. The harness between the
ECM and the P300 connector does not have an open circuit. Proceed
to Test Step 7.
- Not OK - Cat ET displays
"Open" for the cylinder with the jumper wire. There is a problem
in the wiring between the ECM and the P300 connector. There may be a
problem with the ECM. Proceed to Test Step 8.
Test Step 6. Check the Harness between the ECM and the Valve Cover Base
for a Short Circuit

Electrical shock hazard. The electronic unit
injector system uses 90-120 volts.

|
- Remove the electrical power
from the ECM.
- Disconnect the appropriate P300
connector.
- Restore the electrical power to
the ECM.
- Perform the "Injector
Solenoid Test" at least two times.
Expected Result:
All of the cylinders in the appropriate bank indicate "Open" on
Cat ET.
Results:
- OK - All cylinders
indicate "Open" on Cat ET. The ECM and the engine harness are
OK. Proceed to Test Step 7.
- Not OK - One or more
cylinders indicate "Short" on Cat ET. Note the cylinders that
indicate "Short". Proceed to Test Step 8.
Test Step 7. Check the Injector Harness Under the Valve Cover for an Open
Circuit or a Short Circuit

Electrical shock hazard. The electronic unit
injector system uses 90-120 volts.
|
|
- Remove the electrical power
from the ECM.
- Remove the valve cover in order
to gain access to the suspect injector.
- Disconnect the harness
connector from the suspect injector.

Connector terminals for the injector
solenoid
|
- Thoroughly clean the terminals
on the injector solenoid and on the harness connector.
- Use a jumper wire to short
circuit the connector terminals for the suspect injector. This will
effectively replace the injector solenoid with a short circuit.
- Restore the electrical power to
the ECM.
- Perform the "Injector
Solenoid Test" at least two times.
Note: The injector solenoid that shares
the supply wire of the injector that is short circuited may indicate a false
test result. Disregard this test result.
- Remove the electrical power from
the ECM.
- Remove the jumper wire from the
injector connector. This will effectively replace the injector solenoid
with an open circuit.
- Restore the electrical power to
the ECM.
- Perform the "Injector
Solenoid Test" at least two times.
- Remove the electrical power
from the ECM.
Expected Result:
Cat ET displays "Short" for the cylinder with the jumper wire and
"Open" when the jumper wire is removed.
