2.1. Diagnostic Trouble Code Procedure

Machine ECM

The following is a list of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that are associated with the ECM location codes of the Machine ECM.

Table 1
Machine ECM (MID 39) 
DTC  Code Description  System Response 
1326-2  ECM Location Code: Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect  Machine functions related to this ECM are disabled. 

This diagnostic code is recorded when the software location code for the ECM does not match the hardware location codes.

Possible causes for an FMI 2 diagnostic code are:

  • The wrong software has been flashed into the ECM.

  • The machine harness has a short or a poor connection.

  • The machine harness has an open.

  • The ECM has failed. A failure of the ECM is unlikely.

Machine ECM Location Code connections

The diagram above is a simplified schematic of the Machine ECM. The schematic is electrically correct. However, not all the possible harness connectors are shown.

Refer to the appropriate media number below for the complete Electrical Schematic:

(S/N: M5R; JLR) Machines refer to Electrical Schematic, M0124311.

(S/N: L9R) Machines refer to Electrical Schematic, M0124307.

The schematic will illustrate locations for all the electrical components and harness connectors that are installed on the machine.

Diagnostic Trouble Code Procedure

Note: Prior to beginning this procedure, inspect the harness connectors that are involved in this circuit. Poor connections can often be the cause of a problem in an electrical circuit. Verify that all connections in the circuit are clean, secure, and in good condition. If a problem with a connection is found, correct the problem and verify that the diagnostic code is active before performing a troubleshooting procedure.

Table 2
FMI 2 Troubleshooting 
Troubleshooting Test Steps  Values  Results 
1. Verify Hardware And Software Part Numbers

A. Verify that the part numbers for the ECM are correct.

Note:Consult your Dealer for the correct part numbers. 

All part numbers are correct. 
OK - All part numbers are correct.

Proceed to Test Step 2.

NOT OK - All part numbers are NOT correct. The installed ECM has the wrong part number or incorrect configuration software.

Proceed to Test Step 6. 
2. The Location Code Should Match The Summary Screen

A. Check the Cat® Electronic Technician (Cat ET) Service Tool summary screen for the location code.
 

The location codes in Cat ET are correct. 
OK - The location codes in Cat ET are correct.

Proceed to Test Step 3.

NOT OK - The location code is NOT correct.

Repair: Verify that the software and hardware part numbers are correct. If the numbers are not correct, exit this procedure and correct the problem.

Proceed to Test Step 6. 
3. Inspect The Harness Connections

A. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.

B. Inspect the harness connections that are related to the location code. Make sure that the connectors are clean and tight.

C. Verify that all connections in the circuit are clean, secure, and in good condition. 

The machine harness connections are tight and free of corrosion. 
OK - The machine harness connectors are tight and free from corrosion. All part numbers are correct.

Proceed to Test Step 4.

NOT OK - The machine harness connectors are in the need of repair.

Repair: Repair or replace the machine harness.

Proceed to Test Step 6. 
4. Check The Harness For A Short

A. The disconnect switch and the key start switch remain in the OFF position.

B. Disconnect the machine harness from the ECM.

C. At the ECM harness connector, measure the resistance between the location code contacts and all the other contacts that are used for the ECM.

Note: Refer to the table above for the ECM location code connections. 

Each resistance is greater than 5K Ω. 
OK - The resistance is greater than 5K Ω. The harness circuit is correct.

Proceed To Test Step 5.

NOT OK - One or more readings less than 5 Ω. The short is between the location code and the circuit with the low resistance.

Repair: Repair or replace the machine harness.

Note: A resistance that is greater than 5 Ω but less than 5K Ω would indicate a loose connection or a corroded connection in the circuit. A resistance measurement that is greater than 5K Ω would indicate an open in the circuit.

Proceed to Test Step 6. 
5. Check The Harness For An Open

A. The disconnect switch and the key start switch remain in the OFF position.

B. The ECM harness connectors remain disconnected.

C. At the machine harness for the ECM, measure the resistance between the location code contacts and frame ground.

Note: Refer to the table above for the ECM location code connections. 

Each resistance is less than 5 Ω. 
OK - The resistance is less than 5 Ω. The harness circuit is correct.

Proceed To Test Step 6.

NOT OK - One or more readings greater than 5 Ω. The machine harness has failed.

Repair - Repair or replace the machine harness.

Note: A resistance that is greater than 5 Ω but less than 5K Ω would indicate a loose connection or a corroded connection in the circuit. A resistance measurement that is greater than 5K Ω would indicate an open in the circuit.

Proceed to Test Step 6. 
6. Check If The Diagnostic Code Remains

A. Reconnect all harness connectors. Return machine to normal operating condition.

B. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch ON.

C. Clear all diagnostic codes.

D. Operate the machine.

E. Stop the machine and engage the Parking Brake.

F. Check if the diagnostic code is active. 

The diagnostic code is no longer present. 
OK - The diagnostic code does not exist at this time. The initial diagnostic code may have been caused by poor electrical connection or short at one of the harness connections. Resume machine operation.

STOP.

NOT OK - The diagnostic trouble code has not been corrected. If the diagnostic code has not been corrected after performing the procedure a second time, the ECM may require replacement.

Prior to replacing the ECM, always contact the Technical Communicator at your dealership for possible consultation with AVSpare. This consultation may effect repair time.

Follow the steps in "ECM - Replace" if the ECM needs to be replaced.

STOP.
