Module mismatch
SMCS Code: 1902-038
Conditions Wh
ich Generate This Code:
The flash file that is used for replacement is for
a different en
gine family or for a different engine
application.
System Respon
se:
Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) will not be able
to clear the co
de.
Possible Performance Effect:
•
The fuel injection system is disabled and the
engine will not start.
Troubleshooting:
Check the Par
t Number of the Flash File
A. Restore the electrical power to the Electronic
Control Modu
le (ECM).
B. Verify that the part number for the flash file agrees
with the late
st update that is available on Service
Technician Workbench (STW), or on SIS Web.
Expected Res
ult:
The correct flash file is installed in the ECM.
Results:
•
OK – The corr
ect flash fi le is installed in the ECM.
Repair: The engine will not start until the 253-02
diagnostic
code is cleared. Clearing this code
requires factory passwords.
Acquire fac
tory passwords. Clear the 253-02
diagnostic code. Return the engine to service.
STOP.
•
Not OK – The correct flash file is not installed in
the ECM.
Repair: Flash program the ECM with the correct
flash file. R

CID 0261 FMI 11 Engine Timing
Offse t f a ult
SMCS Code: 1439-038; 1912-038
Conditions Wh
ich Generate This Code:
The signals from the engine speed/timing sensors
indicate that
the expected position of the camshaft is
incorrect with respect to the crankshaft, or the polarity
of the wiring to one of the speed/timing sensors is
reversed.
System Response:
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) will log the
diagnostic code.
The ECM sets engine timing calibration to zero
degrees.
Possible Performance Effect:
•
The engine ma
ymisfire.
•
The engine may experience low power and/or
reduced spee
d.
•
The engine may experience increased exhaust
emissions a
nd/or white exhaust smoke.
Tr oubleshooting:
Test Step 1. Check t he Installation of th e
Speed/Timing Sensors
A. Visually in
spect the sensors for correct installation:
a. Ensure that the sensor’s mounting flanges are
fully seate
d onto the surface of the engine.
b. Ensure that the locating notch on the flange of
each senso
r is oriented correctly.
c. Ensure that the sensor’s brackets are not
bent or bro
ken. Ensure that the brackets are
securely holding the sensor in place.
d. Ensure tha
t the sensors are tight in the housing
bore. If a sensor is loose in the bore, check the
condition of the sensor’s O-ring seals. Ensure
that the s
eals are not missing. Also, inspect the
seals for damage.
B. Check for
the correct installation of the sensor’s
connectors. Ensure that the electrical connector
is securely latched. Check for the correct polarity
in the wir
ing at each sensor connector and at the
ECM connector.
