Use this procedure to troubleshoot the electrical system if a problem is suspected with the circuit that is for the throttle
position sensor. Also use this procedure if one of the diagnostic codes in Table 2 is active or easily repeated.
Note: Some of the following codes may not be applicable for certain applications.
Note: Performing steps within this procedure requires the use of a multimeter capable of measuring a PWM duty cycle
and frequency. Refer to Table 1 for the tools recommended for the procedure.

Complete the procedure in the order in which the steps are listed.
If the procedure corrected the issue, return the engine to service.
If the procedure did not correct the issue, Contact your Cat dealer Technical Communicator (TC). For further assistance,
your TC can confer with the Dealer Solutions Network (DSN).
