CM2150 Electronic Control System – FAULT CODE 778

  Printable Version

Overview

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

Circuit Description

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

Component Location

Both engine position sensors are located on the back side of the front gear housing above the fuel pump drive. 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 camshaft 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.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code

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

Shop Talk

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 camshaft 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 or malfunctioning camshaft position sensor.

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