Where are the power pins on an ECM?
The 40 pin ECM only has three pins for the 12 volt power source. 1)keyed + battery is pin number 6, 2)unswitched + battery is pin number 4, 3)- battery is pin number 5 and should go to the grounding stud on the cylinder head. Here’s a copy of the wiring diagram with pin location on the plug to be able to read with a multi-meter
What happens when I lose power on my ECM?
If you lose power at both these pins at the same time the ECM will never show a fault code. You also have two seperate ground wires on pins 65 and 67. Again this wire usually leaves the battery box as a single wire splitting into two at the ECM.
When does the ECM turn on the electric fan?
The ECM sends a signal to the Fan Relay to turn on the electric fan when the engine reaches the temperature specified in the ECM’s PROM. The GREEN/WHITE wire labeled “Fan Relay Trigger” is a trigger wire for a relay only and will not be able to run a fan by itself.
What to do if your ECM line is corroded?
We had a corroded power line to ECM he replaced it with a new fuses and patch of wire, a partial not the whole line.
Why do I need a cat C12 ECM wiring diagram?
The Cat C10, C12, E, C15, C16 Truck Engine wiring diagram provides information for the correct servicing and troubleshooting of electrical systems and is essential for all mechanics carrying out repairs or maintenance on the Cat C10, C12, E, C15, C16 truck engine. I need a cat c13 ecm wiring and pin schematic. Ask Your Own Heavy Equipment Question.
What should I do if I lose power on my ECM?
You should find a fuse in the battery box for this power source. If you lose power at both these pins at the same time the ECM will never show a fault code. You also have two seperate ground wires on pins 65 and 67. Again this wire usually leaves the battery box as a single wire splitting into two at the ECM.
When do you need to replace the ECM power relay?
If there is no power when the key is inserted, the engine will not start, or the battery is dead, you may need to replace the ECM power relay. 1. No power when the key is inserted 2.

Where does the power come from in a cat engine?
A CAT Engine takes three different 12 volt power supply wires to the ECM. 1) keyed from the ignition switch to pin 70, 2) 12 volt battery power to pin 52, 3) 12volt battery power pin 53 Usually pin 52 and 53 are feed power from the battery on one wire that splits before the two pins at the ECM.
Why does my ECM keep blowing out on my truck?
Driver went in pick up the truck it was running fine, after he was hooked to the trailer, truck stalled again, they took him back in the shop and came back telling me that ECM is blown because of corroded wire. my question is, why would truck start at and runs fine for the first time when he just fixed it with fuses and partial power wire to ECM.
How much does it cost to pick up an ECM?
When I talked to the freightliner where he bought ECM from, they gave me core value.

BS! total of $375 to pickup the ECM. 300 miles down the road truck brokedown again, with same problem!
How does a caterpillar ECM circuit board work?
Think of your Caterpillar ECM as a circuit board strapped to a scorching hot engine exposed to dirt, grease, oil, water, and heavy vibrations. These are the exact opposite conditions that these modules should be in for long-term optimal performance.
How does the ECM work on a cat truck?
The ECM provides split-second monitoring and data output for vehicle safety and functionality. It ensures that your CAT truck or equipment is operating at its most optimal performance. The ECM monitors several components such as a vast network of sensors and your emission control system.

ECMs are pretty tough. Problems like yours are wiring related 99.99% of the time. Another test you can do is to load test those power and ground wires. With the OEM connector disconnected at the ECM, jump power one at a time from pin 4 and 6, through a headlight bulb, then ground the headlight to make it come it on.
What happens when an ECM loses battery power?
Kw Owners Club Thanks this. Usually when the ECM shuts down because it lost battery power it will log a code. If it losing ignition (or key) power the key on/off counter will increase. It helps to further diagnose power problems. Most ECMs have more than one power wire.
What happens if I lose power at both pins?
If you lose power at both these pins at the same time the ECM will never show a fault code. You also have two seperate ground wires on pins 65 and 67.
What do the lines mean in Peterbilt 379 wiring diagram?
There are also other elements like floor, switch, motor, and inductor. It all rides on circuit that is being built. According to earlier, the lines at a Peterbilt 379 Wiring Diagram signifies wires. At times, the cables will cross. However, it doesn’t mean link between the wires.
