Applicable truck models

This document applies to the Caterpillar C15 on-highway truck engine, configuration MXS00001-UP (also referenced alongside NKS and RKS serial prefixes in the C15 engine family). The procedure addresses the ECM 8 volt supply circuit that powers the accelerator pedal position sensor at connector P1-4, with sensor return at P1-5 and signal at P1-66. The duty cycle specifications cover low idle (10–22 percent) and full throttle (75–90 percent). PTO mode interactions with remote switches or remote throttle configurations are also discussed.
