Schematic of the Circuit of the Shift Lever

Note: Refer to the Electrical System Schematic in the Service

Manual of the machine for the correct schematic.
Problems with the transmission direction and speed control lever
will cause the machine to respond incorrectly to the actions of the
lever. Some problems with the transmission direction and speed
control lever will cause the transmission to remain in the present
speed and direction when a problem is detected. Other problems
with the transmission direction and speed control lever will cause
the transmission to shift to neutral.
1. View the status.
i. Use the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to view
the status "Group 1 Gear Lever Parameters".
i. Actuate the transmission shift lever through all speeds
in forward and reverse. Verify the positions on the display of
the ET.
i. Operate the machine in all speeds and all directions. All
speeds and all directions may not be available.
Expected Result: The failure is NOT present.
Results:
OK - The failure is NOT present. Suspect an
intermittent failure. STOP.
NOT OK - The failure is still present. Note the
positions that were incorrect on the ET screen.
Proceed to Step 2.
2. Check the harness.
i. Check the harness connectors and the harness from
the transmission direction and speed control lever to the
power train electronic control module (ECM).
i. Thoroughly inspect the connectors for the transmission
direction and speed control lever and the connectors for the
power train ECM.
i. Visually inspect the harness wiring from the
transmission direction and speed control lever to the power
train ECM.
i. Use the ET to view the status "Group 1 Gear Lever
Parameters".
 i. Actuate the transmission direction and speed control
lever through all speeds in forward and reverse. Verify the
positions on the display for the ET.
i. Operate the machine in all speeds and all directions. All
speeds and all directions may not be available.
Expected Result: The harness and harness connectors
are correct. The fault is NOT present.
Results:
OK - The harness and the harness connectors
are correct. The fault is NOT present. Proceed to Step
3.
NOT OK - The harness and/or the harness
connectors are NOT correct and the fault is still
present. Repair the machine harness and/or the
harness connectors. If necessary, replace the machine
harness and/or the harness connectors. Ensure that all
the seals are properly in place. Also, check that the
connectors mate completely. Verify that the repair
eliminates the problem. Clear all diagnostic codes.
STOP.
3. Check the voltage.
i. Disconnect the transmission direction and speed
control lever from the machine harness.
i. Turn the key start switch to the ON position.
i. Measure the voltage between pin 2 and pin 15 of the
24-pin connector for the transmission direction and speed
control lever.
Expected Result: System voltage is present.
Results:
OK - System voltage is present. Proceed to Step
4.
 NOT OK - System voltage is NOT present. There
is a problem with the power supply to the transmission
direction and speed control lever. Check the fuse for
the transmission direction and speed control lever and
the associated harness. STOP.
4. Check the continuity.
i. Ensure that the key start switch is in the OFF position.
i. The transmission direction and speed control lever and
the power train ECM are disconnected from the machine
harness.
i. Check for continuity from pin 2 to all active pins on the
24-pin connector of the transmission direction and speed
control lever.
Expected Result: Continuity is NOT present.
Results:
OK - Continuity is NOT present. Proceed to Step
5.
NOT OK - Continuity is present. The problem is in
the harness. Repair the harness or replace the
harness.
5. Check the continuity.
i. Check for continuity from pin 15 to all active pins on the
24-pin connector of the transmission direction and speed
control lever.
Expected Result: Continuity is NOT present.
Results:
OK - Continuity is NOT present. Proceed to Step
6.
NOT OK - Continuity is present. The problem is in
the harness. Repair the harness or replace the
harness. STOP.
6. Check the transmission direction and speed control
lever.
i. Reconnect the connectors for the power train ECM.
i. Create a jumper wire that can short from pin 2 to two of
the other pins on the connector for the transmission
direction and speed control lever.
i. The key start switch should be in the ON position.
i. Use the ET to display "Group 1 Gear Lever
Parameters". Conduct the following items and view the
parameters on the ET. Refer to Table 1 for the correct
connections of the jumper wire to the harness for the
transmission direction and speed control lever.

All contacts are on the harness for the shift lever.

iii. Expected Result: All the gear parameters read the

proper gear.
iv. Results:
OK - All gear parameters read the proper gear.
Replace the transmission direction and speed control
lever and verify correct operation. STOP.
NOT OK - All gear parameters DO NOT read the
proper gear. It is unlikely that the power train ECM is
faulty. Exit this procedure and perform this CID FMI
again. If the cause of the fault is not found, replace the
power train ECM. Refer to Testing and Adjusting,
"Electronic Control Module (Power Train) - Replace" for
more information on replacing the power train ECM.
STOP.
