The Machine ECM will make decisions that are based on input data information and programming
parameters that have been flashed to the ECM memory. After the ECM receives the input
information, the ECM determines the correct response and sends an output signal to the appropriate
device. The internal input circuits and the internal output circuits of the ECM are connected to the
machine wiring harness by two 54 contact connectors (J1 and J2).
Note: The ECM is not serviceable. If the ECM is damaged, the ECM must be replaced. The rate of
failure for the ECM is low. If the ECM is suspected of failure, contact the Technical Communicator
at your dealership for possible consultation with Caterpillar before replacing the ECM. Replace the
ECM only after all of the other possible causes of a particular problem have been investigated.
During normal operation, the switch or sensor signal will hold the circuit low or at a certain signal
amplitude, however, circuit conditions such as a loss of power to the component, a disconnection,
or an open circuit will allow the circuit to be pulled high by the ECM pull up voltage. The pull up
voltage will result in an above normal voltage condition at the ECM contact. As a result, the ECM
will activate an FMI 03 (voltage above normal) diagnostic code for the affected circuit.
The types of ECM input circuits that have pull up voltage present are:
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 in order
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. Each possible input to the Machine
ECM is listed in the tables for the pin contact connectors.
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. The possible outputs for the Machine
ECM are listed in the tables for the pin contact connectors.
