Recommended Actions
Diagnostic Codes and Event Codes
Certain diagnostic codes and/or event codes may cause poor performance. Connect the CaterpillarElectronic Technician (ET) and check for active codes and/or for logged codes. Troubleshoot any codes that are present before continuing with this procedure.Starting Aids
Cold Mode
Use the Cat ET to verify that the engine has exited cold mode. If the engine is operating in cold mode, an indicator will be displayed on the top of any of the status screens on the electronic service tool. Cold mode operation may slow throttle response.Air Inlet Heater (If Equipped)
Ensure that the air inlet heater is programmed to "On". Ensure that the air inlet heater is functioning properly. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Air Inlet Heater Circuit - Test" for additional information.Oil Grade Plugs (If Equipped)
Ensure that the correct oil grade plug is installed. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Oil and Filter - Change" for additional information.Personality Module (Flash File)
Verify that the correct personality module (flash file) is installed.J1939 Data Link
The signal from the throttle switch is carried on the J1939 data link. If the data link is not working properly, refer to Troubleshooting, "CAN Data Link Circuit - Test".Electrical Connectors
Check for correct installation of the J1/P1 and J2/P2 Electronic Control Module (ECM) connectors and the unit injector connectors. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for additional information.Unit Injectors
Perform the injector solenoid test on the electronic service tool in order to determine if all of the injector solenoids are being energized by the ECM.
Perform the cylinder cutout test on the electronic service tool in order to identify any injectors that might be misfiring. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Injector Solenoid Circuit - Test" for the proper procedure. Turbocharger Outlet Pressure Sensor
Monitor the status of "Fuel Position", "Rated Fuel Limit", and "FRC Fuel Limit" on the electronic service tool while the engine is operating under full load. These parameters should reflect the information below.
Table 1
"Fuel Position" = "Rated Fuel Limit"
AND
"Fuel Position" < "FRC Fuel Limit" If "Fuel Position" equals "Rated Fuel Limit" and "Fuel Position" is less than "FRC Fuel Limit", the electronics are operating correctly. Otherwise, proceed with the next Step.
Monitor the status of "Boost Pressure" and "Atmospheric Pressure" for normal operation on the electronic service tool. When the engine is not running, "Boost Pressure" should be 0 kPa (0 psi). Air Inlet and Exhaust System
Check for an air filter restriction. Clean plugged air filters or replace plugged air filters. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for additional information.
Check the air inlet and exhaust system for restrictions and/or leaks. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Air Inlet and Exhaust System" for additional information. Fuel Supply
Check the fuel lines for the following problems: restrictions, collapsed lines and pinched lines. If problems are found with the fuel lines, repair the lines and/or replace the lines.
Check the fuel tank for foreign objects which may block the fuel supply.
Check for air in the low pressure fuel supply system if any of the following procedures have been performed:
Replacement of the fuel filters
Service on the low pressure fuel supply circuit
Replacement of unit injectorsNote: A sight glass in the low pressure supply line is helpful in diagnosing air in the fuel. Refer to Testing and Adjusting for more information.
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking the engine again.
Purge air from the low pressure fuel supply circuit. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel System - Prime" for the correct procedure.
Check fuel quality. In temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), check for solidified fuel (wax). Refer to Special Instruction, SEBD0717, "Diesel Fuels And Your Engine".
Check the fuel pressure after the fuel filter while the engine is being cranked. Refer to Testing and Adjusting for the correct pressure values. If the fuel pressure is low, replace the fuel filters. If the fuel pressure is still low, check the following items: fuel transfer pump, fuel transfer pump coupling and fuel pressure regulating valve. Refer to Testing and Adjusting for more information.
