CM2150 Electronic Control System – FAULT CODE 689

  Printable Version

Overview

ISB, ISC, and ISL with CM2150 – Engine Crankshaft Speed/Position Circuit SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE

Circuit Description

The electronic control module (ECM) provides a 5 volt supply to the engine crankshaft speed/position sensor on the sensor supply circuit. The ECM also provides a ground on the sensor return circuit. The crankshaft speed/position sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the crankshaft speed/position sensor signal circuit. This sensor generates a signal to the ECM as the crankshaft speed indicator ring passes the sensor. The ECM interprets this signal into an engine speed reading and determines engine position.

Component Location

The crankshaft position sensor is located on the side of the front gear housing on the intake side of the engine. Refer to Procedure 100-002 (Engine Diagrams) in Section E for a detailed component location view.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics

This diagnostic runs continuously when the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes

The ECM detects a loss of the crankshaft speed/position sensor for more than 1 second.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active

• The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE light immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
• The crankshaft speed sensor is used to provide engine speed and position information to the ECM.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code

The ECM will turn off the amber CHECK ENGINE light after the ECM detects a valid signal from the crankshaft speed/position sensor.

Verify the electronic control module (ECM) calibration is correct. Check the calibration revision history found on QuickServe™ Online for applicable fixes to the calibration stored in the ECM. If necessary, recalibrate the ECM. Refer to Procedure 019-032 (ECM Calibration Code) in Section 19 in the corresponding Troubleshooting and Repair Manual for the engine being serviced.

This fault is logged when the ECM does not receive a valid crankshaft position signal.

Causes of this fault include:

• Open or short circuit of the 5 volt SUPPLY, SIGNAL, or RETURN wire in the engine harness
• Damaged crankshaft position sensor.

NOTE: On INSITE™ electronic service tool, the ‘Crankshaft Position Sensor” is referred to as ‘Engine Speed Main Sensor’.
