Troubleshooting Section
The fl ash fi le in the Electronic Control Module (ECM)
is from the wrong engine family. The engine will not
start.
Correct the Condition
Determine the diagnostic code that is active.
Expected Result:
A 0253-02 diagnostic code is active.
Results:
• A 0253-02 code is active
Repair: Obtain the engine serial number. Use
PTMI to determine the latest available fl ash fi le for
the engine. Verify that the latest available fl ash fi le
is loaded into the ECM.
STOP.

Electrical Connectors - Inspect
System Operation Description:
Most electrical faults are caused by poor connections.
The following procedure will assist in detecting faults
in connectors and wiring. If a fault is found, correct
the condition and verify that the fault is resolved.
Intermittent electrical faults are sometimes resolved
by disconnecting and reconnecting connectors.
It is very important to check for diagnostic codes
immediately before disconnecting a connector.
Also check for diagnostic codes after reconnecting
the connector. If the status of a diagnostic code is
changed due to disconnecting and reconnecting a
connector, there are several possible reasons. The
likely reasons are loose terminals, improperly crimped
terminals, moisture, corrosion, and inadequate
mating of a connection.
Follow these guidelines:
•
Always use a
27610285 Removal Tool to remove
the pins from the P1/P2 connectors.
•
Always use a
2900A033
Crimp Tool to service
Deutsch HD and DT connectors. Never solder the
terminals onto the wires.
•
Always use a
28170079
Removal Tool to remove
wedges from DT connectors. Never use a
screwdriver to pry a wedge from a connector.
•
Always use a
2900A033
Crimp Tool to service
AMP seal connectors.
•
Refer to Troubleshooting, “ECM Harness
Connector Terminals” in order to service the
connectors for the Electronic Control Module
(ECM).
•
Always use a breakout harness for a voltmeter
probe or a test light. Never break the insulation of a
wire in order to access a circuit for measurements.
•
If a wire is cut, always install a new terminal for
the repair.
The connection of any electrical equipment and
the disconnection of any electrical equipment may
cause an explosion hazard which may result in in-
jury or death. Do not connect any electrical equip-
ment or disconnect any electrical equipment in an
explosive atmosphere.
Test Step 1. Check Connectors for
Moisture and Corrosion

Illustration 33
Leaky seal at the connector (typical example)
A. Inspect all the harnesses. Ensure that the routing
of the wiring harness allows the wires to enter the
face of each connector at a perpendicular angle.
Otherwise, the wire will deform the seal bore.
Refer to Illustration 33. This will create a path for
the entrance of moisture. Verify that the seals for
the wires are sealing correctly.
