Cat Lift Trucks (& Caterpillar) GP40:
P04 code ECM fault

Got a P04 code coming up, which is ECM communication fault. Unit cranks but wont fire. Swapped ECM out and truck ran fine. Fitted new ECM.

2 weeks later same code and fault came up, ECM faulty again, tested on another unit. Anyone came across an issue like this? Seems like a wiring issue or a shorted module/sensor may be blowing the ECM, but then again I thought it would have blown a fuse before it blew the ECM. Don't want to put another ECM without locating the cause. Not really sure where to go next other than pulling the whole harness apart.

Fact of the week
The Michelin Guide with its star rating system originated in France in 1900. The guide was created as a marketing tool to encourage more car travel and consequently increase the demand for tyres. It initially contained maps, tire repair instructions, and lists of restaurants, hotels, and mechanics.
