A "single" winding (single output) magnetic pickup sensor is recommended for use as a vehicle speed sensor for the 3406B (PEEC III) System. Experience has shown that use of a "dual" winding (dual output) vehicle speed sensor can contribute to electrical noise problems. Vehicle speed buffer negative battery pin must be connected to engine ground, not to cab ground. The vehicle speed circuit consists of the Vehicle Speed Sensor, the Vehicle Speed Buffer and associated wiring. The sensor is a standard magnetic pickup and is supplied by the truck manufacturer. It senses the movement of teeth on the output shaft of the transmission. The buffer (Caterpillar supplied) takes the signal from the sensor, conditions it and sends it to both the ECM and the vehicle speedometer.There are three acceptable options for wiring of the vehicle speed circuit: For all three options, the Vehicle Speed Buffer should be grounded to the same ground point as the ECM. On 3406B (PEEC III) Engines, the ECM ground point is the cylinder head ground stud.Option 1. Use separate sensors for the Vehicle Speed Buffer and the speedometer, with the second sensor supplying the signal to the speedometer. This option completely isolates the two circuits and is preferred by Caterpillar. See Illustration 1.

Recommended vehicle speed circuit wiring when using two separate sensors.Option 2. Use a single sensor, with the Vehicle Speed Buffer supplying the signal to the speedometer. This option provides good results when correctly wired. Note that this illustration is electrically identical to the schematic in the 3406B (PEEC III) Diesel Truck Engine Electrical Schematic, Form No SENR5152, which is in the complete Service Manual, 3406B (PEEC III) Diesel Truck Engine, Form No. SENR5150, but shows the required grounding for the speedometer more clearly.The 3E0020 buffer provides a second output line for speedometer requiring two signal lines.

Recommended vehicle speed circuit wiring using a single sensor.Option 3. Use a dual winding sensor, with the second winding supplying the signal to the speedometer. This option is not preferred by Caterpillar, but can provide acceptable results if the sensor is installed correctly.Dual winding sensors may be used in some new OEM installations which have been specifically reviewed by Caterpillar.
Illustration 3
Recommended vehicle speed circuit wiring when using a dual-winding sensor.The Vehicle Speed Buffer has a five-pin connector (J14/P14) with pins to battery negative, battery positive, the ECM and two for the vehicle speedometer.+ Battery (Pin A) supplies battery power to the buffer.- Battery (Pin B) provides battery ground through the cylinder head ground stud.Buffer Output to the ECM (Pin D) supplies a series of 5 volt DC pulses to the ECM. The frequency of the pulses varies directly with the speed of the vehicle.When a single Vehicle Speed Sensor is used, as in Illustration 2, the vehicle speed signal to the speedometer is provided by the buffer.The 3E0020 buffer has two speedometer outputs, one at P14, Pin C and one at P14, Pin E. Output at each one is a series of -8 volt
