Ethernet Data Link

The following is a list of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) associated with the Ethernet data link of
the machine.

Table 1
Machine Display
DTC Code Description System Response
3901- Ethernet Data Link #2: Camera data is not received by the monitor at expected
9 Abnormal Update Rate time. Camera displays blue screen.
3901- Ethernet Data Link #2: Camera is not accepting the configuration request.
14 Special Instruction Camera displays blue screen or incorrect image.

Each Ethernet data link circuit is an input and output of select electronic control modules. The data
link is designed to carry communications between the electronic control modules. The data link
consists of internal control circuits and the connecting harness wiring.

Possible Causes for an FMI 9 Diagnostic code are:

The FMI 9 code means that the monitor has lost all communication with a camera for a period of
time.

• Camera is not connected to the display.

• Camera is not powered or has failed.

• Display camera Ethernet channel has a short, open, or damage that effects the electrical
characteristics of the high speed data link.

Possible Causes for an FMI 14 diagnostic code are:

The FMI 14 code means the camera is communicating but does not accept the IP address or camera
setup configuration, or display is not connected to the correct camera part number.

• Camera software is not compatible with the monitor system.

• Camera has failed.

• Camera part number does not match with application.

The preceding diagram is a simplified schematic of the camera and display connections. The
schematic is electrically correct. However, not all the possible harness connectors are shown. Refer to

Diagnostic Trouble Code Procedure

Prior to beginning this procedure, inspect the harness connectors involved in this circuit. Poor
connections are often the cause of problems in an electrical circuit. Verify that all connections in the
circuit are clean, secure, and in good condition. Check the wiring for pinch points or abrasions. If a
wire issue is found with the Ethernet wiring, the wiring must be replaced not repaired. If a problem
with a connection is found, correct the problem. Verify the 3901 diagnostic code is active before
performing this troubleshooting procedure.

Note: If troubleshooting the symptom of a blue screen in place of a camera image then follow the
FMI 9 troubleshooting table below.

1. Identify the active FMI code associated with the Datalink fault.

2. Use the list below to determine which procedure to follow.

• FMI 9 Diagnostic code, proceed to Table 2.

• FMI 14 Diagnostic code, proceed to Table 3.

Troubleshooting Test Steps
1. Identify Which
Component Is Having
Communication Problems
A. Use the System
Communication Status screen
in Cat ET to determine which
component is having
problems receiving
communications from which
other component.
2. Inspect The Harness and
Harness Connections
A. Turn the start switch and
disconnect switch to the OFF
position.
B. Inspect all harness
connections related to the
Ethernet Data Link between
the monitor and the problem
camera. Make sure that the
connectors are clean and
