2 Main Display Module Initialization - Adjust
2 Main Display Module Initialization - Adjust
i04818112
The initialization is an internal process within the main display module. During the initialization,
the main display module listens to the Cat Data Link and the harness code inputs. From this
information, the module learns about the machine. For example, the module learns that the
information for the engine oil pressure is coming from an engine ECM.
Note: On later model products, the harness code is located within the module software and does
not require this initialization procedure.
Normally, the initialization occurs when the main display module is replaced. Also, the
initialization occurs when there is a change in the harness code. However, when a previously used
main display module is used as a replacement, initialization could be necessary. Faults that cannot
be explained with the Cat Data Link can occur if the main display module is not initialized
correctly. The service person must activate the initialization when the main display module
has been previously used. Initialization is used if the module was taken out of an application
that had the same machine code as the main display module that is to be removed.
b. Determine whether the harness code inputs are hard wired in the machine harness or
accessible at a harness code plug. Use the Electrical System Schematic in the Service
Manual for the machine.
Results:
◾ YES - There is a harness code plug. Remove the harness code plug. Proceed to
3.
◾ NO - The harness code inputs are hard wired in the machine harness. Proceed
to 2.

b. At the machine harness connector for the main display module, remove the wire for
one of these contacts (3, 6, 12, 16, 22 or 31). Choose a contact that is connected to
ground.
Note: If a ground wire is not available, on any of the mentioned ECM contacts, then
install a jumper wire between contact 2 (ECM ground) and contact 3 and repeat 2.b.
c. With tape, secure the removed connector contact out of the way.
Results:
◾ CONTINUE - Proceed to 3.
a. Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switches to the ON position.
b. Various indicators in the Caterpillar Monitoring System display area will illuminate.
Wait 10 seconds.
d. Depending on the previous procedure that was performed, either reinstall the harness
code plug (from "Code input configuration") or reinstall the ground connector contact
(from "Hard wired procedure").
e. Make sure that the main display module successfully completes the self test, see
Testing and Adjusting, "System Self Test".
f. Check the machine code. See System Operation, "Harness Code Mode".
Expected Result: The display module has successfully completed the self test.
Results:
◾ NOT OK - The display module did not complete the self test. Exit this
procedure. Determine the cause of the failure and repeat "Initialization". STOP.
