Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
4. Electrical Power Supply to the Diagnostic Connector
A. Use a multimeter to check that battery voltage is present
between terminals A and B of the diagnostic connector.
Note: If the communication adapter is not receiving power, the
LED display on the communication adapter will be off.
Electrical power Result: Battery voltage is not present between terminals
A and B of the diagnostic connector.
Repair: Investigate the cause and repair, as necessary.
Result: Battery voltage is present between terminals A
and B of the diagnostic connector.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
5. Electronic Service Tool and Related Hardware
A. Connect the electronic service tool to a different engine.
Note: This process eliminates the electronic service tool and
the related hardware as the fault.
Hardware Result: The same fault occurs on a different engine.
Repair: Check the electronic service tool and the related
hardware for faults.
Result: The fault does not occur on a different engine.
Proceed to Test Step 6.
6. Electrical Power Supply to the Electronic Control Mod-
ule (ECM)
A. Check the power supply to the ECM. Refer to Troubleshoot-
ing, “Electrical Power Supply - Test”.
Note: If the ECM is not receiving battery voltage, the ECM will
not communicate.
Power to ECM Result: The power supply to the ECM is incorrect.
Repair: Investigate the cause and repair, as necessary.
Result: The power supply to the ECM is OK.

ECM Software - Install
Flash Programming – A method of loading a flash
file into the Electronic Control Module (ECM)
The electronic service tool is utilized to flash program
a flash file into the ECM. The flash programming
transfers the flash file from the PC to the ECM.
Use this process to program the engine flash file to
the existing engine ECM. If the ECM is being
replaced, refer to Troubleshooting,
“ECM - Replace”
to flash program a blank ECM.
Saving the Engine Configuration
Data
Note: Save the engine configuration data before
beginning the ECM flashing process in order to avoid
losing the engine configuration data.
1. Connect the electronic service tool to the
diagnostic connector.
2. From the menu bar go to the following menu
options:
• Service
• Copy Configuration
• ECM Replacement
3. Click on “Load From ECM” at the bottom of the
screen.
4. Once the ECM data has been loaded, click on
“Save to File” at the bottom of the screen. Select a
folder location and click on “Save” .
Flash Programming a Flash File
Using ““WinFlash””
1. Obtain the part number for the new flash file.
Note: If you do not have the part number for the flash
file, use “PTMI” on the Perkins secured website.
Note: You must have the engine serial number in
order to search for the part number of the flash file.
