ECM Connector J2/P2
Locate the ECM. Check the connector in order to
ensure that the connector is secure. Lightly pull each
of the wires in the chassis harness.
1.
Pull each wire with approximately 4.5 kg (10 lb) of
force. The wire should remain in the connector.
2.
If a wire is loose, push the wire back into the
connector. Pull the wire again in order to ensure
that the wire is secure.
3.
Start the engine. If the engine does not start, check
for a diagnostic code and consult your Perkins
distributor.

Cables
(Do

This
Procedure
in

Locations
that

Atmospheres)
The connection of battery cables to a battery and
the disconnection of battery cables from a battery
may cause an explosion which may result in in-
jury or death. The connection and the disconnec-
tion of other electrical equipment may also cause
an explosion which may result in injury or death.
The procedures for the connection and the dis-
connection of battery cables and other electrical
equipment should only be performed in a nonex-
plosive atmosphere.
Improper jump start cable connections can cause
an explosion resulting in personal injury.
Prevent sparks near the batteries. Sparks could
cause vapors to explode. Do not allow jump start
cable ends to contact each other or the engine.
Note:
If possible, first diagnose the reason for the
starting failure. Refer to Troubleshooting, “Engine
Does Not Crank and Engine Cranks But Does Not
Start” for further information. Make any necessary
repairs.
If the engine will not start only due to the condition of
the battery, perform one of the following procedures:
• Charge the battery
• Start the engine using another battery with jump-
start cables
The condition of the battery can be rechecked after
the engine has been switched OFF.
