259D Compact Track Loader – MID 039 – CID 0600 – FMI 03

Conditions Which Generate This Code:

This diagnostic code is associated with the hydraulic oil temperature sensor. This diagnostic code is recorded when the ECM reads the signal from the hydraulic oil temperature sensor (wire 404-YL) as being shorted to +battery. The signal (wire 404-YL) connects to contact J1-29 of the ECM.

Possible causes of the diagnostic code is listed:

• The return circuit is open.

• The signal circuit is open or the sensor is disconnected.

• The signal circuit is shorted to +battery.

• The sensor has failed.

• The ECM has failed. This is unlikely.

Note: Ensure that CID 0600 FMI 03 is active. This procedure can cause new diagnostic codes to be recorded. Ignore these created diagnostic codes. When the procedure is completed, clear the created diagnostic codes.

Test Step 1. CHECK FOR AN OPEN IN THE RETURN CIRCUIT.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable and turn the key start switch to the OFF position.

2. The sensor remains disconnected from the machine harness.

3. Disconnect the machine harness connector J1 from the ECM.

4. At the machine harness connector for the sensor, measure the resistance from contact 2 (wire 200-BK) to ground.

Expected Result:

The resistance measurement should measure less than 5 ohms.

Results:

• OK - The resistance measurement is less than 5 ohms. The harness is correct.

  Repair: The ECM may have failed. It is unlikely that the ECM is faulty. Recheck the status of the diagnostic code. If the diagnostic code remains present, exit this procedure and perform this procedure again. If the cause of the diagnostic code is not found, replace the ECM. See Troubleshooting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Replace".

  STOP

• NOT OK - The resistance that is measured is not correct.

  Repair: There is an open in the machine harness. The open is in the return circuit with the high resistance measurement. Repair the harness or replace the harness.

  STOP

Test Step 2. CHECK FOR AN OPEN IN THE SIGNAL CIRCUIT.

1. The key start switch remains in the OFF position.

2. Disconnect the J1 and J2 machine harness connector from the ECM.

3. At the machine harness connector for the sensor, install a jumper wire from contact 1 (wire 404-YL) to contact 2 (wire 200-BK).

4. At the machine harness connector J1, measure the resistance from contact J1-29 (wire 404-YL) to Frame Ground.

Expected Result:

The resistance should measure less than 5 ohms.

Results:

• OK - The resistance measures less than 5 ohms. Proceed to 3.

• NOT OK - The resistance measurement is greater than 5 ohms.

  Repair: There is an open in the signal circuit. Repair the harness or replace the harness.

  STOP

Test Step 3. CHECK THE SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT.

1. The key start switch remains in the OFF position.

2. The machine harness connectors J1 and J2 remain disconnected.

3. Remove the jumper wire from contact 1 (wire 404-YL) to contact 2 (wire 200-BK).

4. At the J1 and J2 machine harness connectors for the ECM, measure the resistance for the signal contact of the sensor J1-29 (wire 404-YL) to all other J1 and J2 contacts.

Expected Result:

Each resistance measurement should be greater than 5000 ohms.

Results:

• OK - Each resistance measurement is greater than 5000 ohms.

  Repair: It is unlikely that the ECM has failed. Exit this procedure and perform this procedure again. Exit this procedure and perform this procedure again. If the cause of the diagnostic code is not found, contact your dealership's Technical Communicator for possible consultation with Caterpillar. This consultation may greatly reduce repair time. If the ECM requires replacement, refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Replace"

  STOP

• NOT OK - Any resistance measures less than 5000 ohms.

  Repair: There is a short in the machine harness. The short is between the signal circuit and the circuit with the low resistance measurement. Repair the harness or replace the harness.
