The cat guys kept saying the truck was supposed to supply 5v to a couple pins on the datalink and that would allow the ecm to turn on. I dont have 5v to those pins. But im.not sure i understood them correctly
Need help!! Freightliner with Cat 3406e got me stumped

If you could find a way to give it the 12V supply, 12V ignition, and battery ground, then see if you have any sensor supply voltage out. Should verify quick if the female terminals coukd be your issue
Oxbow Thanks this. -
Ok,
So turn the key on with ecm plugged in and check the sensor plug (top) for sensor output voltage?
This will verify what? -
I meant with the vehicle harness off of the ecm, and give 12v and ground to 4, 5, 6, and see if yoy have sensor voltage.2tonchevy Thanks this.

Ok
Where would i check for sensor voltage? -
And what does sensor voltage mean if i have it?
Big Road Skateboard Thanks this. -
If it does have sensor voltage that way, but not with the vehicle harness connected, the 4, 5, or 6 terminal of the vehicle harness would seem the problem.
2tonchevy Thanks this. -
Check for the 5v signal at your coolant level sensor, that's on pin 36. That 5v signal comes out of the ECM.
It won't be there if ypur ECM isn't powering up. Then if you hotwire it on 4, 5, and 6, and you have 5v at pin 36, your harness pins are your problem -
Ok ill check that asap and report back.
Oxbow Thanks this. -
The bottom plug on my ecm goes into the truck cab....the top plug goes to the engine sensors.
So how does pin 36 on the bottom plug (schematic) go to the coolant sensor??
