PatrickJ07 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 2011 Mack CXU600 1M1AW02YXBM015137 Eaton 8 speed Customer states truck would intermittently not start, said driver could wiggle ECM connector and got it to start once. Pulled into shop and check all the fuses, all were ok. confirmed is would not start. wiggled on harness for a while and was unable to get truck to turn over. un plugged and checked connectors and all were ok. sometimes it would just start to engage the starter then stop. checked and confirmed I am getting power to starter, confirmed soft start works. can ground out soft start and truck will TURN right over but no start. wiring diagram shows a starter relay control driver circuit to ground out starter relay directly form ECM. it is not sending signal to ground. checked circuit for shorts to power, ground, resistance, load tested and even ran a temporary new circuit to no avail. I do now know the logic behind this starting system, un plugged and checked the oil temp sensor as I read this could cause it as well. anyone else run into this issue? customer is insisting it is the engine wiring harness but I'm hard pressed to just replace parts. checked for codes and have codes.

JoeH Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I only work on mechanical engines. Any time I run into a no crank situation I check the relay in the dash that sends signal power to the starter relay. They're junk lately, I only seem to get a year or so out of them before I have issues with the internal contacts. Winds up leaving my gauges not getting power, and sometimes having to bump the key a half dozen times til it'll crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickJ07 Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 I did swap the relay with a known good one and no luck, we sent it to the dealer. I will update once they let us know what's going on with it. thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
