Electricidad GAT 1
Position Switch (Transmission Gear)
The transmission switch is an input to the ECM and the switch connects to contacts J1-29, 30, 31,
32, 33, and 36. The transmission switch tells the ECM the transmission gear that is active. The
transmission switch is connected mechanically to the rotary actuator of the transmission. The switch
uses internal hall effect technology. The switch has a connector with nine contacts.
Note: Pin 4 requires the +battery supply voltage in order to power the hall effect cells.
The switch contacts (2, 3, 6, 7, and 8) tell the ECM the current gear information. In each position of
the rotary actuator, the switch provides a low signal (0.5 VDC) at two of the five contacts. The
switch also provides a high signal (5.0 VDC) at the other three contacts at the same time. The ECM
interprets the status of the five contacts.
The number one contact of the switch provides the ECM with a ground. The number one contact is
connected to ground at all times. This tells the ECM that the switch is connected properly. This
prevents the ECM from thinking that the switch is missing when the switch is between gears.
Contact 10 of the switch is connected to frame ground at all times. Contact 4 of the switch is
connected to the sensor power supply at all times. Contact 9 is not connected. The position for
connector contact 5 is blank. This blank space is an index for the mating connector.

changes in a proportional manner in order to reflect the changing condition. The types of sensor
signals that are recognized by the VIMS electronic control module are listed here:
Frequency - The sensor produces an AC signal that varies in frequency ("Hz") as the condition
changes.
Pulse width modulated (PWM) sensor - The sensor produces a digital signal with a duty cycle that
varies as the condition changes. The frequency of this signal is relatively constant and the frequency
contains no information.

Coolant Loss Sensor
Modulo 1: Sensores
Electricidad GAT 1
Coolant Loss Sensor
(1) Sensor
(3) Plastic sleeve ("see note")
The coolant loss sensor is an electronic switch that is activated by coolant. During normal operation,
coolant loss sensor (1) is closed to ground. The switch opens when the coolant level is too low. The
VIMS electronic control module warns the operator of a very low coolant condition in the cooling
system when the switch opens. The sensor has a connector with three contacts. Contact "A" connects
to the +8 DCV sensor power from the VIMS electronic control module. Contact "B" connects to
ground and contact "C" (switch output) connects to the input of the VIMS electronic control module.
Off the machine ("on the bench"), when power and ground are disconnected the switch is open. The
sensor cannot be tested in this state.
Note: DO NOT remove plastic sleeve (3) from the probe. This plastic sleeve is required for proper
switch operation.
The internal electronic switch that is in this sensor functions as a mechanical switch. The switch is
either open or the switch is closed to ground. ("connector contact C closed to contact B"). This
sensor works with ONLY water or water/glycol solutions ("antifreeze"). The sensor will not work
with oils, fuels, etc. A pull-up voltage must be present at the signal lead. The pull-up voltage is used
in order to pull up the open circuit voltage, when a loss of coolant has caused the switch to open.
This pull-up voltage (5 VDC) is supplied by the VIMS electronic control module. The pull-up
voltage can only be measured with a multimeter when the switch is open. When there is 5 volts
present on the signal lead during normal operation the switch is open.
Fuel Level Sensor - Ultrasonic Type

Electricidad GAT 1
Fuel Level Sensor - Ultrasonic Type
(1) Schematic symbol. (2) Float. (3) Guide tube. (4) Sensor.
Fuel level sensor (4) reacts to the level of the fuel in the fuel tank. Sensor (4) emits an ultrasonic
signal up guide tube (3). The ultrasonic signal is reflected off a metal disk on the bottom of float (2)
and the signal returns to the sensor. The sensor measures the travel time of the ultrasonic signal. The
travel time includes the time to the float and the time back to the sensor. The sensor also measures
the temperature of the fuel in order to compensate accordingly. The status "(open or grounded)" of
connector contact 3 indicates whether the sensor is installed in a deep tank or a shallow tank. Contact
3 should be open for a tank ("deep") that has a maximum depth of 2300 mm (90 inch). Contact 3
should be grounded for a tank ("shallow") that has a maximum depth of 1150 mm (45 inch). The
sensor receives operating power from the machine electrical system. The VIMS electronic control
module receives a PWM signal from the sensor that changes as the fuel level changes. The VIMS
electronic control module measures the duty cycle of the sensor signal in order to determine the fuel
level.
Note: The fuel level sensor cannot be bench tested. The sensor must have fuel in guide tube (3) in
order to operate properly. The sensor can be tested only while the sensor is installed on a machine.

1. TROUBLESHOOT THE SENSORS.
Troubleshoot sensor circuits in the following order.
a. Perform the "Sensor Signal Voltage -Tests". This test checks the sensor voltages at the
sensor, when all the circuits are connected. DISCONNECT NOTHING. Troubleshoot
"as is" before disconnecting any circuits. Disconnecting the sensor from the harness
before measuring the voltage may alter a poor connection. This will make the proof of
cause difficult or impossible.
b. Perform the Sensor Dynamic Test, if necessary.
c. The VIMS electronic control module is the cause of the fault if the sensor and the
harness are correct. Replace the VIMS electronic control module. Refer to the Testing
and Adjusting, "Module - Replace".

This quick check is used to determine if the sensor is functioning. The accuracy of the sensor is not
checked. Perform this test only after successfully completing the Sensor Voltage Test.
Use the Electrical System Schematic in the machine Service Manual in order to determine the VIMS
connector contact that corresponds to the failed machine condition. Use the correct service tool to
remove the signal wire connector contact from the machine harness connector of the VIMS
electronic control module.
Note: The sensors are powered by the VIMS electronic control module with the exception of the fuel
level sensor. System voltage is the power source of the fuel level sensor. The VIMS electronic
control module must be connected in order to provide power for the sensors.
Two items are checked in this test:
z A sensor signal is present at the VIMS electronic control module.
z The signal voltage increases with a corresponding increase in the monitored system. The
signal voltage decreases with a corresponding decrease in the monitored system.
Modulo 1: Sensores
Electricidad GAT 1
Procedure
The required machine conditions are listed here:
z For temperature sensors, the coolant is below operating temperature.
z For pressure sensors, the pressure is below operating pressure.
z For fuel level sensors (buffer and sender), the fuel level is low.
a. Turn the key start switch to the OFF position.
b. Ensure that the sensor is connected to the machine harness.
c. Remove the contact of the signal wire from the connector of the VIMS electronic
control module.
d. Turn the key start switch to the ON position. DO NOT START THE ENGINE.
e. At the machine harness connector for the VIMS electronic control module, measure the
voltage (DCV) between the signal contact and frame ground and record the voltage.
Note: If more precise specifications of the signal voltage are necessary, use the
specifications that are listed in the tables of "Specifications for Sensor Voltage Test".
Expected Results: The voltage is between 0.9 and 9.6 DCV.
Results:
OK - Voltage is between approximately 0.9 DCV and 9.6 DCV. The signal
voltage to the VIMS electronic control module is correct. Proceed to 3.
NOT OK - Voltage is NOT between approximately 0.9 DCV and 9.6 DCV. The
signal voltage to the VIMS electronic control module is not correct. The probable
cause is a failed sensor. Replace the sensor. STOP.
2. CHANGE THE RELATED CONDITION OF THE MACHINE.
a. Increase the temperature, pressure or fuel level of the system that is being tested. An
example would be running the engine in order to increase the coolant temperature of the
engine. Another example would be operating the implement controls in order to increase
the temperature of the hydraulic oil. Proceed to 3.
a. At the machine harness connector for the VIMS electronic control module, measure the
voltage (DCV) between the signal contact and frame ground.
Expected Results: The voltage is greater than the voltage that was recorded in the
"CHECK THE SIGNAL VOLTAGE" test. The voltage increased smoothly. There were
no large increases in the voltage.

z The VIMS displays a value for the system condition. The VIMS continuously monitors all
machine systems.
z An abnormal condition of a machine system (data event) exists. The VIMS continuously
monitors the machine systems. When an abnormal condition exists, the alert indicator (7)
FLASHES. Also, the message area (9) shows the system parameter that has an abnormal
condition. Universal gauge (10) also shows the approximate value of the abnormal parameter.
The event is stored in the main module memory. As the severity of the problem increases the
action lamp FLASHES and the action alarm SOUNDS. See Service Manual, RENR2630,
"Vital Information Management System".
z The VIMS continuously checks for electrical problems in the VIMS. The VIMS monitors the
other electronic control module systems on the machine. The VIMS continuously checks for
failures, when a failure already exists. A detected maintenance event is shown on the message
area. A detected maintenance event is stored in the memory of the main module. See "Service
Operations".
The VIMS enters normal mode when the VIMS is powered up. Initiate a service operation with the
keypad in order to exit the normal mode. See "Service Operations".
Service Operations
The operator and/or the service person can initiate numerous VIMS service operations. A service
program code (SPC) is assigned to each service operations. Use the keypad to enter the service
program code into the VIMS. The service program code initiates the corresponding server operation.

(1) For the VIMS ECM, the MID is 049. This table pertains only to faults with a MID of 049.
Note: Table 1 refers to the diagnostic codes for the VIMS ECM only. The diagnostic codes for the
VIMS ECM are shown on the display area of the Vital Information Management System (VIMS).
The module identifier (MID) tells the service person the ECM that is sending the diagnostic code.
The MID for the VIMS ECM is 049. The information in table 1 only refers to diagnostic codes with
a MID of 049. The MID of other electronic control modules or components on a particular machine
are listed on the electrical system schematic. Troubleshooting information for the diagnostic codes
with a MID that is not 049 can be found in the service manual for that system.
ReferenceFor more information on the Vital Information Management System (VIMS), refer to the
Service Manual module Troubleshooting, "Using Vital Information Management System to
Determine Diagnostic Codes".
Module Identifier (MID)

Diagnostics from other electronic control modules are shown on the monitoring system. Other
electronic control modules transfer this diagnostic information on the Cat Data Link to the
monitoring system.
The module identifier (MID) identifies the electronic control module that detected the fault. Each
electronic control module on the machine has a unique MID. Use the following chart in order to
match the MID for each diagnostic code to a specific electronic control module. The chart for the

Electricidad GAT 1
Module Identifier (MID) is located on the Electrical System Schematic for your machine. See the
chart if the MID is not shown on the display of your machine. After the operator determines the
electronic control module that has detected the failure, see the service manual module for that
particular ECM for more troubleshooting information. The service manual for each ECM is part of
the machine's Service Manual.
If the MID is for the VIMS ECM, use this service manual module. The MID for the VIMS ECM is
049. If the MID is different use the appropriate module.

Detailed FMI Explanation
FMI 00 "Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range" - Every electronic control system sets
a high limit for the expected operating range of the signal. The high limit includes over range
signals. This could be a high temperature. A sensor that is still operating but sending a signal above
the expected limit will cause a FMI 00 to be stored.
Some of the possible causes of a FMI 00 are listed below.
z The signal is above normal.
z The signal is shorted to the +battery circuit.
z The sensor needs to be calibrated.
This is an example of a sensor that needs calibration. A PWM signal that is at a duty cycle of 80
percent is a valid signal. If the PWM signal has a duty cycle of 81 percent the sensor is still working,
but the sensor signal is above the expected signal limits.
FMI 01 "Data Valid But Below Normal Operating Range" - Every electronic control system sets
a low limit for the expected operating range of the signal. The limit includes signals that are under
the lower limit. The low signal could be the oil pressure signal. The sensor is still working but
sending a signal below the expected limit will cause a FMI 01 to be stored.
z The signal is below the normal range.
z The timing is retarded.
This is an example of a PWM sensor. This sensor is not expected to generate a PWM signal below a
duty cycle of 5 percent with zero air pressure. If the sensor generates a signal with a duty cycle of 4
percent when the engine is shutdown. The sensor is still working but sending a signal below the
expected limit will cause a FMI 01 to be stored.
FMI 02 "Data Erratic, Intermittent or Incorrect" - The signal from a component is present. The
control that reads the diagnostic information can not read the signal properly. The signal appears to
be gone, unstable or invalid. The data can be correct or incorrect intermittently. Also, this condition
relates to communication between controls. This is an example of communication between controls.
When the monitoring system is looking for the engine speed from the engine ECM over the Cat Data
Link.

Electricidad GAT 1
z There is a failed connection.
z The signal is intermittent or erratic.
z The software has been changed.
z The signal is noisy.
z The signal is out of range.
FMI 03 "Voltage Above Normal or Shorted High" - The component or system voltage is higher
than the limit. FMI 03 most often relates to a signal circuit.
Some of the components that could cause a FMI 03 are listed below.
z The sensor or the switch has failed.
z The harness is damaged.
z The electronic control module has failed.
z A sensor that has failed and the voltage output is high.
z Any wiring harness that has a sensor signal wire shorted to a high voltage. A high voltage is
any voltage that is greater than the sensor supply voltage.
z A wiring harness that has an open circuit in the sensor signal wire will cause the control to pull
up. When this occurs the input circuit is pulled up to the supply voltage.
z A control that has failed will also cause a FMI 03. This is very unlikely.
FMI 04 The Voltage is Below Normal or the Voltage is Shorted Low - The component or system
voltage is lower than the limit. FMI 04 most often relates to a signal circuit.
Some of the components that could cause a FMI 04 are listed below.
z The sensor or the switch has failed.
z The harness is damaged.
z The electronic control has failed.
z A sensor that has failed and the voltage output is low.
z Any wiring harness that has a sensor signal wire shorted to ground.
z A failed ECM will also cause a FMI 04. This is very unlikely.
FMI 05 Current Below Normal or Open Circuit - The current through the component or the

Electricidad GAT 1
system is lower than the limit. FMI 05 is most often related to a driver circuit.
z There is an open circuit or a poor harness connection.
z There is an open relay.
z There is a switch in the open position.
FMI 06 Current Above Normal or Grounded Circuit - The current through the component or the
system is higher than the limit. FMI 06 is most often related to a driver circuit. This fault is very
similar to FMI 04.
z There is a short to ground in the harness connection.
z There is a shorted relay.
z A failed control will also cause a FMI "06". This is very unlikely.
FMI 07 Mechanical System Not Responding Properly - The control detects a signal that is sent to
a mechanical system and the response is not correct.
z The component responds improperly.
z The component is stuck in a position.
z The component has failed.
z The engine is shut down.
z The machine is being used improperly.
FMI 08 Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width or Period - This occurs when the signal is not in the
expected range. FMI 08 can also relate to a faulty sensor.
z The harness connections are intermittent or poor.
z The engine misfired.
z The signal is noisy due to nearby interference.
z There are loose mechanical devices.
FMI 09 Abnormal Update - This relates to communications on the data link. FMI 09 occurs when a
control is not able to get information from another control.

Electricidad GAT 1
z The control module is not communicating on the data link correctly.
z The rate of data transmission is abnormal.
z The data link has failed.
z There is a mismatch of software.
FMI 10 Abnormal Rate of Change - This relates to a signal that changes too fast. The rate of
change is outside of the expected limit.
FMI 11 "Failure Mode Not Identifiable" - The control identifies more than one FMI as being
responsible for a single failure.
z There is a mechanical failure.
z There is damage to multiple circuits.
FMI 12 Bad Device or Component - The electronic control sends a signal and the electronic
control expects a response. The control receives no response or the response is incorrect.
z There is a failure of the electronic control.
z There is a failure on the data link.
z There are one or more controls with mismatched software.
FMI 13 Out of Calibration - The electrical signal is not within limits for a specific mechanical
condition.
z Calibration is required.
z The data is out of range.
FMI 14, 15, and 20 - These codes are not active.
FMI 16 Parameter Not Available - The control does not support the requested parameter.
FMI 17 Module Not Responding - The control does not respond to the request for data.
FMI 18 Sensor Supply Failure - The sensor power supply in the control has failed.
FMI 19 Condition Not Met - The conditions that are defined by the software were not met.

DESARROLLO TÉCNICO

Introduction
Caterpillar DataView is a portable diagnostic tool that allows data, measured by sensors
temporarily installed on Caterpillar products, to be viewed on a Personal Computer (PC). It
allows many of the individual hand-held diagnostic tools currently being used by service
technicians to be replaced with a single unit. DataView can be used with all Caterpillar
products, both new and old.
Caterpillar DataView consists of a portable hardware instrument (DataView hardware) which

connects to a standard PC via the parallel printer port and a Windows-based software program
(DataView software) that runs on the PC. The DataView software program provides setup,
digital displays, graphs, and data logging of the measurements being taken. The hardware
accepts up to nine standard Caterpillar sensors. A parallel port on DataView is provided for
operating a printer when DataView is attached to the PC. DataView is powered from the
internal batteries for portable use, or external power.
Features
• Six analog inputs for measuring pressure, temperature, blowby, and position.
• Three frequency inputs for measuring rpm, Hz, duty cycle, hydraulic flow, and fuel flow.
• Calculated channels for displaying sum, difference, burn rate, and hydraulic horsepower.
• Two engine set point inputs.
• Uses standard Caterpillar diagnostic tool sensors.
• Automatic sensor identification of analog sensors, using auto ID cables.
• RS232 input connector for 146-4080 Caterpillar Digital Multimeter (DMM).
• Data logging on PC memory card.
Software Features
The following screen views show how the different tools look in the DataView software.
Setup Tool
The Setup Tool helps you select what sensors are available and tells DataView what sensors
you will be using on each channel. It is the first window you will see after connecting the
DataView hardware and software. The Setup Tool lets you specify what type of sensor is
attached to each channel. You assign units (Metric or English) to the channel, assign unique
names for easy identification, set low and high alarm values, set display rate, choose a position
probe polarity, and set the filter level to one or more channels. As you set up channels the
current output of the channel’s sensor is visible on the setup screen. You can set up channels
for immediate or future use. Setups created for future use can be saved as a permanent group.
Defining Sensors
To select a sensor and set up a channel, double-click on any channel and the Define Channel
box will appear as shown below.
If you install the DataView software on your PC, you can try this even if the DataView hardware
is not connected.
From the list of available sensors, select one by clicking on it. You can then select the units and
change any of the names or values in the boxes. When you select OK, that sensor will be
installed on the selected channel.
Status Tool
The Status tool shows the real-time values for each channel. As well as a digital value, it can
also display an analog bar graph for each channel. A “Zoom” feature provides easy reading
from a distance.
Setup Logger
The Data Logger tool allows information from all channels to be recorded on a PC memory card.
The PC memory card provided with DataView has a 2 MB capacity, but larger cards up to 16
MB can be used. The recording can be started manually or automatically and samples can be
taken up to 1000 times per second. This allows the recording of fast events such as
transmission clutch shift times.
Graph Viewer
The Graph Viewer tool combines both Strip Chart and Histogram (Bar Graph) tools. You can
choose between logged data files on the PC, real time from the DataView hardware, or logged
data files on the DataView hardware. Once the data source is selected, you can select either
the Strip Chart or the Histogram graph type. A Graph Definition Wizard allows you to select
exactly how you want to set up the strip chart graphs. Up to four separate strip charts
(channels) can be seen on one graph, each with a separate scale. Two of these graphs can be
shown at the same time for a total of eight individual channels displayed on the screen.
The above Strip Chart graphs represent an actual hydraulic system and engine performance
test on a 426C Caterpillar Backhoe Loader. These traces were recorded using the Data View
Data Logger function so they can be stored and observed later. With the graphing tool you can
also look at graphs in real time while performing a test.
The top graph has three traces which represent the Hydraulic System Performance over a
period of time while the backhoe is being exercised. The two similar traces are the Hydraulic
System Pressure and the Hydraulic Signal Pressure. The third trace is the pressure difference
between the first two pressures, and is called the Margin Pressure. With this graph it is possible
to determine what the pressure is at any time during the test and if these pressures are within
specifications.
The lower graph shows engine performance. The top trace is engine speed (RPM). At the 15
second time line, the engine speed is at low idle. Next the engine goes to High Idle (Max RPM).
Then a load is put on the engine with the hydraulics and the engine speed trace shows the full
load RPM. The lower line shows inlet manifold pressure, or engine boost. When the engine is
at full load RPM, the maximum boost pressure can be observed. The advantage of using the
graph function is the ability to view and record many measurements during or after a test.
These 426C Graphs are stored on the DataView software program provided with Service
Technician’s Workbench. To view these graphs, load the DataView program and follow this
procedure.
1. Start DataView program.

2. Click on the Graph Viewer icon in the DataView software toolbar. A window named “PC Log
Selection” will appear.
3. In this window, click on the option entitled “426C Performance” from the File box.
4. Click on the 426C graph in the Documents box and click OK.
5. Select the stripchart button to view that graph type.
6. Add the channels you wish to include in your graph by highlighting the channels (one by one)
in the Available Channels list box and press the “Add>>” push button. The selected channel
is moved to the Selected Channels list box. Repeat this procedure to add additional
channels.
7. Press the “Finish” push button.
8. When the Graph Selector dialog box appears, press the “OK” button. The graph is
displayed.
Sensors
Two types of sensors are used, Analog and Frequency sensors. DataView accepts many
sensors already in use with Caterpillar diagnostic tools. The analog sensors are used for
measuring pressure, temperature, blowby, or position. These sensors can be used in any of the
six analog channels (channels 1 – 6) of the DataView hardware.
Frequency sensors are used for measuring speed (rpm), frequency (Hz), %Duty Cycle or
flowmeters. They provide a frequency or pulsed output signal and can be used only in the three
frequency channels of DataView (channels 7, 8, 9).
A few of the many sensors available are listed below. A complete list and specifications of all
sensors can be viewed by ordering literature number NELG5023, as well as looking in section
28 of the Cat Tools & Shop Products Guide. This information is also shown in the DataView
user’s manual Form NEHS0662.

PWM/Analog Sensor Adapter Kit
The Caterpillar 153-9630 PWM/Analog Sensor Adapter Kit allows the DataView hardware to be
used to test, monitor, graph, and Data Log the output of most permanently installed sensors on
Caterpillar electronically controlled engines and equipment. This is very helpful for locating a
intermittent sensor, or verifying if a sensor is bad when ET indicates a fault code for that sensor.
The kit provides the necessary adapter box (for PWM sensors) and cables (for PWM and
Analog sensors) to properly connect these sensors to DataView. The sensors can be tested
either removed from the machine or installed on the machine, and testing will not interfere with
the operation of the machine or engine. While testing sensors removed from the engine, the
Sensor Adapter Kit powers the sensors via an internal power supply.
Autoranging Multimeter
The Caterpillar 146-4080 Multimeter takes measurements on all Caterpillar products including
generator sets. Measurements performed by the Autoranging Multimeter include voltage,
current, temperature, duty cycle, frequency, diode check, continuity, and impedance. It can be
connected to the DataView hardware using the optional 146-8488 RS232 cable. This allows
DMM readings to be viewed with other DataView measurements and data logged or used with
other programs. The Digital Multimeter Group includes the multimeter, test leads, type K
thermocouple, and soft holster.
