System
Response
The code is
logged.
The wiring to the sensors may have the wrong polarity. There may
be a mechanical problem with the front gear train.
The code is
logged.
The ECM has the ability to compensate for mechanical differences between the Top Center (TC) of the
flywheel and the TC of the timing gear on the camshaft.
An "Engine Timing Calibration Not Performed" code is activated if a timing calibration is required.
TC of the Flywheel - The ECM determines the TC of the flywheel via a signal from a magnetic transducer.
The transducer is installed into the side of the engine block. The transducer creates a signal as a notch on a
crankshaft counterweight rotates past the transducer.
TC of the Timing Gear - The ECM determines the TC of the timing gear by signals from the engine
speed/timing sensors.
Any offset between the TC of the flywheel and the TC of the timing gear is stored into the memory of the
ECM.

NOTICE
If the crankshaft is not in the correct position when the transducer is
installed, the transducer will be damaged when the engine is started.
A. Apply clean engine oil to a 2D-6392 O-Ring Seal . Install the O-ring seal on the end of the 6V-2197
Transducer .
B. Push the transducer through the transducer adapter until the transducer contacts the crankshaft
counterweight.
C. Withdraw the transducer 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) and hand tighten the nut on the adapter sleeve in order to
secure the transducer. Move the O-ring seal against the adapter.
Results:
Continue to the next test step.
Test Step 3. Connect the 7X-1695 Cable As
A. If the engine harness is equipped with a connector for timing calibration, connect the 7X-1695 Cable
As to the connector for timing calibration and to the transducer.

B. If the engine harness is not equipped with a connector for timing calibration, perform the following
procedure:
Note: Refer to Illustration 1 or 2. The 170-3519 Harness can be connected to the P1 connector or to the
P2 connector. Select the connector with the easiest access.

b. Refer to Table 6. Remove the sealing plugs from the appropriate terminals. Do not discard the
sealing plugs. The sealing plugs may be reinstalled when the timing calibration is complete.

c. Disregard the pin-outs on the label of the harness. Install the white wire of the 170-3519 Harness
into the appropriate location.
d. Install the yellow wire of the 170-3519 Harness into the appropriate location.
Note: Ensure that each wire is installed into the correct location. The timing calibration will not
be successful if the wires are installed incorrectly.
e. Connect the 7X-1695 Cable As to the connector for timing calibration and to the transducer.
Results:
Continue to the next test step.
Test Step 4. Start the Engine and Check for Diagnostic Codes
A. Connect Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector. Refer to
Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools".
B. Start the engine and run the engine until the engine is at the normal operating temperature.
C. Check for active diagnostic codes. Wait at least 30 seconds in order for the codes to become active.
The engine must not have any active diagnostic codes during the timing calibration except for a 261-13
Engine Timing Calibration required.
Expected Result:
There are no active diagnostic codes or there is only a code for timing calibration that is active at this time.
Results:
z
OK - There are no active diagnostic codes or there is only a code that is active for timing calibration at
this time. Proceed to Test Step 5.
Not OK - There is at least one active code that is not a code for timing calibration.
Repair: Troubleshoot and repair any active diagnostic codes before you continue with this procedure.

Calibrations
Timing Calibration
C. To calibrate the timing, select "Continue" on Cat ET. Wait until Cat ET indicates that the timing is
calibrated.

Expected Result:
Cat ET indicates that the timing is calibrated.
Results:
z
If the crankshaft and camshaft gears have been reassembled incorrectly, the timing will not
calibrate.
Verify that the engine speed is correct and that the engine speed is stable. If the engine speed is
unstable, refer to troubleshooting without a diagnostic code Troubleshooting, "Engine Misfires,
Runs Rough or Is Unstable".
There may be a problem with the transducer or with the cables. Obtain a new transducer and/or a
new cable and repeat the timing calibration.
