Use this procedure to troubleshoot the electrical system if a problem is suspected with a sensor
supply or if any one of the diagnostic codes in Table 1 is active or easily repeated.

Normal
System Operation
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) supplies a regulated voltage of 5.0 ± 0.2 VDC to the
following sensors:

3516C Marine Auxiliary JTS00001-UP(SEBP4550 - 21) - Documentation Page 2 of 18
The ECM supplies a regulated voltage of 8.0 ± 0.4 VDC to the following sensors:
The supply voltage for the sensors is routed from the ECM to terminal A of each sensor connector.
The sensor return for the sensors is routed from the ECM to terminal B of each sensor connector.
The ECM provides short circuit protection for the internal power supply. A short circuit to the
battery will not damage the internal power supply.
Note: The sensors are not protected from overvoltage. A short from the supply line to the +Battery
may damage the sensors. If the diagnostic code 262-3 or the diagnostic code 263-3 is logged, it is
possible that all of the sensors have been damaged. Repair the sensor supply and check for any
active sensor diagnostic codes in order to determine if a sensor has failed.

B. Thoroughly inspect the J1/P1 ECM connector and the J2/P2 ECM connector. Inspect all of
the connectors that are associated with the circuit.
C. Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the ECM connectors that are
associated with the circuit.
D. Check the ECM connector (allen head screw) for the proper torque. Refer to
Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for details.
E. Check the harness and wiring for abrasion and for pinch points from the sensors back to the
ECM.
Expected Result:
All connectors, pins and sockets are completely coupled and/or inserted and the harness and
wiring are free of corrosion, of abrasion and of pinch points.

STOP
• Not OK - Either the 262-3 or 262-4 diagnostic code is active at this time. Proceed to Test
Step 3.
• Not OK - Either the 263-3 or 263-4 diagnostic code is active at this time. Proceed to Test
Step 5.
Test Step 3. Disconnect the 5 Volt Sensors while you Monitor the Active Diagnostic Codes
A. Monitor the active diagnostic code screen on Cat ET while you disconnect each 5 Volt
sensor at the sensor connector. Check for an active 262-3 code or an active 262-4 code.
Note: Wait at least 30 seconds in order for the diagnostic codes to become active.

Expected Result:
Results:
Repair: Connect the suspect sensor. If the code returns, replace the sensor. Connect all of
the connectors. Verify that the problem is resolved.
STOP
• Not OK - The 262-3 or 262-4 diagnostic code remains active after all of the sensors are
disconnected. Leave the sensors disconnected. The sensors are not the cause of the
diagnostic code. Proceed to Test Step 4.
B. Remove the supply wire from P1-2. Install a wire jumper into the socket P1-2.
E. Measure the voltage between the wire jumper in terminal P1-2 and engine ground.
Expected Result:

Results:
• OK - The voltage measurement is 5.0 ± 0.2 VDC. The ECM is operating correctly.
Repair: The supply wire is shorted to another wire in the harness or the supply wire is
shorted to engine ground. Repair the supply wire.
STOP

Test Step 5. Disconnect the 8 Volt Sensors while you Monitor the Active Diagnostic Codes
A. Monitor the active diagnostic code screen on Cat ET while you disconnect each 8 Volt
sensor at the sensor connector. Check for an active 263-3 code or an active 263-4 code.
Note: Wait at least 30 seconds in order for the diagnostic codes to become active.
Expected Result:
Results:
Repair: Connect the suspect sensor. If the code returns, replace the sensor. Connect all of
the connectors. Verify that the problem is resolved.
STOP
• Not OK - The 263-3 or 263-4 diagnostic code remains active after the sensors are
disconnected. Leave the sensors disconnected. The sensors are not the cause of the
diagnostic code. Proceed to Test Step 6.

A. Fabricate a wire jumper that is long enough to be used to measure the supply voltage at the
ECM connector. Crimp a connector socket to one end of the wire.
B. Remove the wire from terminal location P2-56 (8 V sensor supply). Install a wire jumper
into the socket P2-56.
C. Remove the wire from terminal location P1-4 (8 V sensor supply). Install a wire jumper into
the socket P1-4.
E. Measure the voltage between the wire jumper in P2-56 (8 V sensor supply) and engine
ground.
F. Measure the voltage between the wire jumper in P1-4 (8 V sensor supply) and engine
ground.
Expected Result:
Results:
• OK - Each voltage measurement is 8.0 ± 0.4 VDC. The ECM is operating correctly.
Repair: The supply wire is shorted to another wire in the harness or the supply wire is
shorted to engine ground. Repair the supply wire.
