Schematic of the Position Sensor of the Service Brake Pedal for D6R Series II, D7R Series II and D8R Series II machines
This diagnostic code is recorded when the ECM reads the duty cycle of the sensor as being out of
range.
The position sensor is a PWM sensor that operates at a frequency of approximately 5 kHz. The sensor
has an operating duty cycle of 3.5% to 94%.
The signal circuit is shorted to the +battery circuit or shorted to ground intermittently.
Note: This diagnostic code is usually an intermittent condition. The diagnostic code may be active or
the diagnostic code may not be active.
Note: 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.
B. At the back of the harness connector for the sensor, insert a 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe along
contact A (wire 140-BU(Blue)) for the voltage supply.
C. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the ON position.
D. Measure the voltage from contact A (wire 140-BU(Blue)) to contact B (wire G939-PK(Pink)). For
D6R Series II, D7R Series II and D8R Series II, measure the voltage from contact A (wire 140-
BU(Blue)) to contact B (wire 202-BK(Black)).

STOP
Test Step 2. CHECK THE SIGNAL CIRCUIT OF THE SENSOR.
A. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
B. At the harness connector for the sensor, remove the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe from contact A and
insert the probe along the signal wire (contact C).
C. At the back of the harness connector for the sensor, insert the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe along the
ground wire (contact B).
D. Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
E. Monitor the signal of the sensor with the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter.
F. Without disconnecting the sensor or any hardware that is associated with the sensor, take the
sensor through the full operating range.
Expected Result:
The signal of the sensor responds in the manner that is described at the beginning of this procedure.
Results:
OK - The signal of the sensor responds correctly. The sensor is operating correctly. Proceed to Test
Step 3.
NOT OK - The signal of the sensor does not respond correctly. The sensor is NOT operating
correctly.
Repair: Replace the sensor.
STOP
A. Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
B. Insert the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probes into the back of the ECM connector along J2-18 (wire F790-
BR(Brown)) and J1-16 (wire G939-PK(Pink)). For D6R Series II, D7R Series II and D8R Series II,
insert the probes along J2-18 (wire F790-BR(Brown)) and J1-2 (wire 202-BK(Black)).
C. Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
D. Monitor the signal of the sensor with the 146-4080 Digital Multimeter.
E. Without disconnecting the sensor or any hardware that is associated with the sensor, take the
sensor through the full operating range.
Expected Result:
The signal of the sensor responds in the manner that is described at the beginning of this procedure.
Results:
OK - The signal of the sensor responds correctly. The sensor is operating correctly. Proceed to Test
Step 4.
NOT OK - The signal of the sensor does not respond correctly. The harness has failed.
Repair: Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.
STOP
Test Step 4. CHECK THE SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT IN THE HARNESS.
A. The key start switch and the disconnect switch remain in the OFF position.
B. Disconnect the machine harness connectors from the sensor and the ECM.
C. Measure the resistance between contact J2-18 (wire F790-BR(Brown)) and all contacts that are
used in the machine harness connectors for the ECM.
Expected Result:
Results:
OK - The resistance is greater than 5000 ohms. The circuit is correct. Proceed to Test Step 5.
NOT OK - The resistance is less than 5 ohms. The signal circuit is shorted to another circuit in the
harness.
Repair: Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.
STOP
A. Inspect the harness connectors and clean the contacts of the machine harness connectors.
C. Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
OK - The CID 0468 FMI 08 diagnostic code is not active. The diagnostic code does not exist now.
The initial diagnostic code was probably caused by a poor connection or a short at one of the
connectors that was disconnected and reconnected. Resume normal operation.
STOP
NOT OK - The CID 0468 FMI 08 diagnostic code is active. The diagnostic code has not been
corrected. The ECM may have failed.
Repair: It is unlikely that the ECM has failed. Exit this procedure and perform this procedure again.
If the cause of the diagnostic code is not found, replace the ECM. Prior to replacing an ECM,
always contact your dealership Technical Communicator for possible consultation with Caterpillar.
This consultation may greatly reduce repair time. See the Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control
Module (ECM) - Replace" section of this manual for additional information.
