Applicable truck models

This document applies specifically to the Caterpillar C15 On-Highway Truck Engine, configuration MXS00001-UP (MXS, NKS, or RKS serial number prefixes). The procedures reference the P2 ECM connector with terminal locations P2-15 (boost pressure), P2-17 and P2-54 (sensor return), P2-28 (engine oil pressure), P2-57 (barometric pressure), P2-72 (sensor supply), P2-74 (intake valve actuation pressure), and P2-80 (sensor). While the primary focus is DTC 0102-03, the Engine Pressure Sensor Open or Short Circuit test also covers oil pressure, barometric pressure, and intake valve actuation system oil pressure sensor codes.
