Battery Power and Ground Circuit
Circuit Description
The ECM is a computer that is responsible for engine control, diagnostics, and user features.
Component Location
The ECM is bolted to the control valve body on the left side of the engine.
Shop Talk
l This is a fault with the internal memory of the ECM. This fault can be caused by a power interruption
to the ECM or a total loss of battery power.
l Fault Code 346 can be caused by not following the correct engine shutdown procedure. If a master
disconnect switch is being used, you must turn the keyswitch OFF, wait 30 seconds, then disconnect
the batteries using the master disconnect switch. If the operator does not wait 30 seconds before
disconnecting the batteries, Fault Code 346 will be logged.
l If Fault Code 346 is active, turn the keyswitch ON, then turn it to OFF and wait 30 seconds. Repeat
this step three times with a 30-second delay between each key cycle.
Cautions and Warnings
CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of damaging a new ECM, all other active fault codes must
be investigated prior to replacing the ECM.
CAUTION
