Not OK – A 444-05 code remained active when
the wires were s
hort circuited at the control input
for the start relay. There is a open circuit in the
harness between the connector and the SMMS.

Test Step 4. C
heck for a Short at the
Control Inpu
toftheSMMS
A. Disconnect the wires that are for the control input
at the termin
als of the SMMS.
B. Turn the battery disconnect switch to the ON
position.
C. Observe the “Active Diagnostic” screen on Cat ET.
Wait at leas
t 30 seconds so that any codes may
become active.
D. Crank the en
gine.
Turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF
position.
Remove the jumper wire. Restore the wiring to the
original co
nfiguration.
Expected Result:
There is an active 444-05 diagnostic code.
Results:
•
OK – A 444-05 became active when the control
inputs for
the SMMS were disconnected.
Repair: The short circuit is in the SMMS. Replace
the SMMS. C
lear any diagnostic codes. Verify that
the problem is resolved.
STOP.

Test Step 5. Check for Proper Operation
of the ECM
A. Ensure that the battery disconnect switch is in the
OFF position.
B. Disconnect the J2/P2 ECM connectors.
C. Fabrica
te two jumper wires that are long enough
to create a short circuit across terminal locations
at the ECM connector. Crimp a connector socket
onto one
end of each jumper wire.
D. Remove the wires from terminal locations P2-59
(starter solen
oid) and P2-60 (starter solenoid
return) from the ECM connector. Install a jumper
wire into each of these terminal locations.
E. Connect the J2/P2 ECM connectors.
F. Createanopen
circuit condition at the ECM.
a. Ensure that the jumper wires are not in contact
with any groun
d source on the engine. Also,
ensure that the ends of the jumper wires are
not shorted to each other.
b. Turn the battery disconnect switch to the ON
position.
c. Crank the engine.
d. Observe the “
Active Diagnostic” screen on Cat
ET. Wait at least 30 seconds so that any codes
may become active.
The 444-05 diagnostic code will be active.
e. Turn the bat
tery disconnect switch to the OFF
position.
G. Create a sho
rt circuit condition at the ECM.
a. Connect the loose ends of the jumper wires
together.
b. Turn the battery disconnect switch to the ON
position.
c. Crank the engine.
d. Observethe“ActiveDiagnostic”screenonCat
ET. Wait at least 30 seconds so that any codes
may become
active.
The 444-06 diagnostic code will be active.
e. Turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF
position.
Return the wiring to the original configuration.
Expected R
esult:
There is an active 444-05 diagnostic code when
the open ci
rcuit condition is present. There is an
active 444-06 diagnostic code when the short circuit
condition is present.
Results:
•
OK – The ECM
is recognizing the circuit conditions
successfully.
Repair: T
he problem is in the harness between
the ECM connector and SMMS.
