Warning Setpoint – 20 VDC

Warning Delay – 10 Seconds

Hysteresis – 2 VDC

Security level – None (No password required)

If the voltage is below 20 VDC for 10
seconds, a warning will
occur. To deactivate the warning, the voltage must rise
above 22
VDC.
The setpoint can be programmed to a value
between 20 and 22
VDC.
Open CAT ET and connect to the ECM. Read More: How to
Connecting Caterpillar ET Software to the ECM.
Select Service - Monitoring System menu, then Low System
Voltage.

#Additional Note:

Derate -
A reduction of engine horsepower in response to an abnormal
operating
condition.

Setpoint -
A specific value which can activate the following responses:
warning, deration
and shutdown. The setpoint can be a pressure, a
speed,
a temperature, or a voltage.

Hysteresis -
The change in the signal from a sensor that is tolerated by the
ECM. The
difference between the setpoint that activates a response
and

the value that deactivates the response. For example, a warning for low
voltage can
activate if a value below 20 VDC is detected by the ECM. The
voltage must rise
to 22 VDC in order to clear the warning. The hysteresis is
the 2 VDC that are
above the 20 VDC.

#Electrical Power Supply

Use this procedure to troubleshoot the
electrical system if a problem is
suspected with the power to the engine's
Electronic Control Module (ECM)
or if any one of the diagnostic/event codes
below is active or easily
repeated.

E043(1) Low System Voltage Warning

- The battery voltage to
the ECM is less than normal.
168-0 Electrical System Voltage High
- The battery supply
voltage is greater than 32 VDC for two seconds. The
engine's
ECM has been powered for three seconds. The engine is not
being
cranked.
168-1 Electrical System Voltage Low
- The battery supply
voltage is less than 9 VDC for two seconds. The engine's
ECM
has been powered for three seconds. The engine is not being
cranked.
168-2 Electrical System Voltage Erratic,
Intermittent, or
Incorrect - The engine is running. The battery voltage falls
below 9 VDC for at least 6 seconds. The voltage returns above
9 VDC, or three
voltage readings in the last 7 seconds were
below 9 VDC.

Figure 1.4 - Electrical System Voltage (High/ 168-0)

To reduce resistance in the wiring harness,

there are two isolated power
connections to the ECM. The connections must be
complete in order to
ensure proper engine operation. There is a constant power
supply to the
ECM when the engine is shutdown. In order to shut off the power
to the
ECM, the main power needs to be disconnected.

The engine will begin the start-up when the

following conditions exist:

• The ECM detects battery voltage at the keyswitch

on P1-70.

• The Start/Run/Stop Switch is activated. Read More: Start/Run/Stop

Switch on Caterpillar ET Software.

Test Step 1. Inspect Electrical Connectors and
Wiring

A. Turn the main disconnect switch to the OFF

position.

B. Thoroughly inspect the ECM connectors J1/P1.

Inspect all of the other
connectors.

C. Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of

the wires in the ECM
connector that are associated with the circuit.

D. Check the ECM connector (allen head screw)

for the proper torque.

E. Check the harness and the wiring for

abrasion and for pinch points.

Expected Result: All

connectors, pins, and sockets are completely
coupled and/or inserted. The
harness and wiring are free of corrosion, of
abrasion, and of pinch points.

Test Step 2. Check the Battery Voltage

A. Measure no-load voltage at the battery

posts.

B. Load test the batteries, using the Battery

Load Tester.

Expected Result: The

no-load voltage at the batteries is at least 23.5
VDC, and the batteries pass
the load test.

Test Step 3. Check the Voltage at the ECM

Connector
A. Disconnect the J1/P1
ECM connector.
B. Turn the main disconnect switch to the ON
position.
C. Wiggle the harness during the following
test steps in order to find an
intermittent condition. Read More: Wiggle Test on Caterpillar ET Software.
-Measure the voltage between P1-52
(Unswitched Positive Battery) and
P1-63 (Negative Battery).
-Measure the voltage between P1-53
(Unswitched Positive Battery) and
P1-65 (Negative Battery).
-Measure the voltage between P1-70
(Keyswitch) and P1-63 (Negative
Battery).
D. Turn the main disconnect switch to the OFF
position.
E. Replace all wires and connectors to the
original configuration.
Expected Result: The
voltage is ± 1 VDC from the voltage at the battery
terminals.

Test Step 4. Check the Voltage at the Customer

Connector
A. Disconnect the customer connector.
B. Turn the main disconnect switch to the ON
position.
C. Wiggle the harness during the following
test steps in order to find an
intermittent condition.
-Measure the voltage between Terminal 01
(Unswitched Positive Battery)
and Terminal 34 (Negative Battery).
-Measure the voltage between Terminal 02
(Unswitched Positive Battery)
and Terminal 35 (Negative Battery).
-Measure the voltage between Terminal 27
(Keyswitch) and Terminal 34
(Negative Battery).
D. Turn the main disconnect switch to the OFF
position.
E. Replace all wires and connectors to the
original configuration.
Expected Result: The
voltage is ± 1 VDC from the voltage at the battery
terminals.
