The wiring schematics are revised periodically. The wiring schematics will change as updates are made to the engine’s harness. For the most current information, always check the revision number of the schematic. Use the schematic with the latest revision number.
Harness Wire Identification
Caterpillar identifies all wires with eleven solid colors. The circuit number is stamped on the wire at a 25 mm (1 inch) spacing. Table 2 lists the wire colors and the color codes.

For example, a wire identification of A701-GY on the schematic would signify a gray wire with the circuit number A701.
