Connector inspection
During troubleshooting, always inspect the condition of the pins and cavities on the mating male and female
connectors:
• Check for moisture in the connectors.
• Check for corrosion on the pins and in the cavities.
• Check for bent, broken or recessed pins.
Moisture saturated connector
Poor system performance can be caused by moisture in a
connector; however, moisture within a connector cannot
be seen. If moisture is suspected, use contact cleaner or
a heat gun at a low setting to dry the connector. Inspect
and, if required, replace the connector cover to remove
the source of the moisture.
NOTE: Do not use compressed shop air to dry the con­
nectors. Shop air is often moisture­saturated due to con­
densation.

Corroded pins or cavities
Inspect the pins and cavities for corrosion which can
cause a weak electrical connection between the mating
connectors. If corrosion is present, replace the affected
pins and cavities.
RCIL06PTR105BAA 2
Bent pin
Inspect the pins on the male connector. If a pin is bent
and will not properly mate with its cavity in the female

Touching pins
Inspect the pins on the male connector. If a pin is bent
to the point where it is shorted to another pin within the
connector, replace the pin.
RCIL06PTR104BAA 4
Recessed pin
Inspect the male connector for recessed pins, where the
pin is pushed back into the connector body, providing min­
imal contact when the two connectors are joined. If a pin
is recessed, push the pin into the connector body from the
back of the connector. Join and male and female connec­
tors and reinspect the pin. If the pin is recessed again,
replace the male connector.

12. INTRODUCTION
Measuring resistance
RCIL06PTR018CAA 8
To accurately measure small resistances, the internal resistance of the multimeter must be subtracted from the
measured resistance. To find the internal resistance of your multimeter:
• Turn the multimeter ON.
• Choose the lowest ohm scale on your multimeter.
• Touch the test leads together to display the internal resistance of the meter.
• Substract this value from any measured resistance when testing, or use the ZERO function on the multimeter
to automatically substract the internal resistance of the meter.
Turn system power OFF.
1. Disconnect both ends of the circuit or component to be tested.
2. Touch one lead to one end of the circuit or component.
NOTE: Some components – e.g., relays, solenoids – are equipped with diodes which require that the positive
(+) test lead and the negative (­) test lead are used at specific connecting points. Always follow the instructions
from the troubleshooting procedure when testing these components.
3. Touch the other lead to the other end of the circuit or component.
4. Read the displayed measurement.

14. INTRODUCTION
Short circuit to ground
RCIL06PTR021CAA 10
Short circuit to ground occurs when any part of a circuit is in contact with a ground source when it is not intended.
Where the test leads are applied depends on the component or circuit tested:
• When testing a sensor, for example, disconnect the sensor from its connector.
• When testing a controller harness, disconnect the harness at the controller connector and the malfunctioning
component at its connector on the harness.
• When testing a harness, disconnect the harness connectors at its source and its terminal.
1. Turn system power OFF.
2. Disconnect the connectors for the circuits to be tested.
3. Identify the pins or cavities that need to be tested.
4. Select the resistance setting on the multimeter.
5. Touch one of the test leads from the multimeter to the pin or cavity on one end of the circuit.
6. Touch the other test lead to the pin or cavity on the other end of the circuit.
7. Read the value on the multimeter.
8. The resistance reading should be greater than 100 ohms to indicate an open circuit. If the circuit is not open,
the wire is shorted to ground.
NOTE: The 100 ohms value is a representative value used throughout the diagnostic procedures in this manual.
The expected resistance reading for an open circuit is “infinite” resistance or “open line” on the multimeter. The
actual reading on the multimeter depends on the wire gauge – 0.8, 1.2, 2.0, 3.0 – and the distance between the
test points.
9. Locate and repair the source of the short. Or replace the shorted wire or component.

15. INTRODUCTION
Short circuit to B+ – Unwanted power
RCIL06PTR021CAA 11
• Short circuit to B+ or “unwanted power” is a condition where an electrical path exists between two circuits when
it is not intended to exist. – a power circuit and another power/control circuit.
• A circuit which should be disabled by controller logic but is detected as powered is considered shorted to B+ or
having unwanted power.
• A diagnostic procedure may use different names for B+ power – MIU B+, LB+, HB+ – to distinguish different
power circuits. But the condition is the same: a path exists between a power circuit and another power/control
circuit which is not intended.
• Very often, diagnostic procedures in this manual test from the power source – MIU B+, LB+, HB+ – to locate
the problem circuit. You will be directed to touch the test leads to specific pins or cavities on the connectors for
these various power sources. Follow these instructions exactly to eliminate each power circuit one by one as
the source of the unwanted power.
1. Turn system power OFF.
2. Disconnect the connectors for the circuits to be tested.
3. Identify the pins or cavities that need to be tested.
4. Select the resistance setting on the multimeter.
5. Touch one of the test leads from the multimeter to the pin or cavity on one end of the circuit.
6. Touch the other test lead to the pin or cavity on the other end of the circuit.
7. Read the value on the multimeter.
8. If the resistance reading is less than 10 ohms, the circuit is shorted to this power source.
NOTE: The 10 ohms value is a representative value used throughout the diagnostic procedures in this manual.
The expected resistance reading for an non­shorted circuit is “infinite” resistance or “open line” on the multimeter.
The actual reading on the multimeter depends on the wire gauge – 0.8, 1.2, 2.0, 3.0 – and the distance between
the test points. For example, the resistance reading on the multimeter could be 30 ohms between test points
that are 13.7 m (45 ft) apart and still indicate a short circuit; or the resistance reading could be 30 ohms between
two test points that are 3 m (9.8 ft) on 3.0 gauge wire and still indicate a short circuit.
9. Locate and repair the source of the short. Or replace the shorted wire or component.
NOTE: Check for touching pins, pinch points or exposed wires to locate the source in the harness.

Short circuit pin to pin
RCIL06PTR018CAA 12
• Short circuit from pin to pin within an existing harness is a condition where an electrical path exists between two
circuits where it is not intended to exist.
1. Turn system power OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector for the harness or component to be tested.
3. Identify the pins to be tested
4. Select the resistance setting on the multimeter.
5. Touch one of the test leads from the multimeter to the first pin or cavity on the connector.
6. Touch the other test lead to the other pins or cavities on the connector one by one, while watching the reading
on the multimeter.
7. If the resistance reading is less than 10 ohms, the circuit is shorted between the pins. If the circuit is shorted,
the pins are unintentionally connected.
NOTE: The 10 ohms value is a representative value used throughout the diagnostic procedures in this manual.
The expected resistance reading for an non­shorted circuit is “infinite” resistance or “open line” on the multimeter.
The actual reading on the multimeter depends on the wire gauge – 0.8, 1.2, 2.0, 3.0 – and the distance between
the test points. For example, the resistance reading on the multimeter could be 30 ohms between test points
that are 13.7 m (45 ft) apart and still indicate a short circuit; or the resistance reading could be 30 ohms between
two test points that are 3 m (9.8 ft) on 3.0 gauge wire and still indicate a short circuit.
8. Locate and repair the source of the short. Or replace the shorted wire or component.

Testing voltage
RCIL06PTR020CAA 13
• A voltage test measures the difference in voltage potential between two points.
1. Disconnect the connector for the component or harness to be tested.
NOTE: Follow the instructions in the troubleshooting procedure. Some voltages can only be tested when the
component or harness are connected.
2. Turn system power ON.
3. Identify the pins or cavities to be tested.
4. Select the DC voltage setting on the multimeter.
5. Touch the positive (+) test lead to the pin or cavity.
6. Touch the negative (­) test lead to a reliable source of tractor battery ground.

19. INTRODUCTION
Continuity test – Open circuit
RCIL06PTR017CAA 14
• Continuity is an electrical connection between two pins or cavities on a circuit that is less than a certain resis­
tance value. For harness wires, the specification is less than 10 ohms.
1. Turn system power OFF.
2. Disconnect the harness connectors to be tested.
3. Select the resistance setting on the multimeter.
4. Identify the pins or cavities to be tested.
5. Touch one of the test leads to pin or cavity on one end of the circuit.
6. Touch the other test lead to the pin or cavity on the other end of the circuit.
7. Read the value on the multimeter.
8. The resistance reading for circuit continuity should be less than 10 ohms. If the reading is greater than 10
ohms, the circuit is open and must be repaired or replaced. Many multimeters display “OL” for “open line” when
extremely high (infinite) resistance is detected, indicating an open circuit.
NOTE: The 10 ohms value is a representative value used throughout the diagnostic procedures in this manual.
The expected resistance reading for an non­shorted circuit is “infinite” resistance or “open line” on the multimeter.
The actual reading on the multimeter depends on the wire gauge – 0.8, 1.2, 2.0, 3.0 – and the distance between
the test points. For example, the resistance reading on the multimeter could be 30 ohms between test points
that are 13.7 m (45 ft) apart and still indicate a short circuit; or the resistance reading could be 30 ohms between
two test points that are 3 m (9.8 ft) on 3.0 gauge wire and still indicate a short circuit.
