Result: An associated code is not active or logged.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: An associated code is active or logged.
Repair: Troubleshoot any active codes before continuing with this procedure.
2. Check the Fuel Level in the Fuel Tank
Fuel level
Result: The fuel level is acceptable.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
Result: The fuel level is not acceptable.
Repair: Fill the tank. Verify that the problem has been resolved. If the problem has not been resolved, proceed to Test Step 3.
3. Inspect the Fuel Supply Lines
A. Visually inspect the fuel lines between the priming pump and the inlet to the cylinder head. Also, inspect the fuel cooler for dirt, debris, or damage, if equipped. Inspect the fuel return line from the head to the fuel tank. Inspect the lines for restrictions, pinching, and swelling. Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System - Inspect" for additional information.
B. Inspect the fuel cooler for dirt, debris, or damage, if equipped.
Dirt and debris or damage
Result: The fuel lines and the cooler (if equipped) are OK.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
Result: The fuel lines and the cooler (if equipped) are not OK.
Repair: Replace damaged fuel lines and/or fuel cooler (if equipped). Remove dirt or debris from fuel cooler fins (if equipped). Verify that the problem has been resolved.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 4.
4. Replace the Temperature Sensor
A. Check for active codes or logged codes.
Codes
Result: An E363 or 174 code is active or logged.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
Result: An E363 or 174 code is not active or logged.
Return the unit to service.
5. Replace the Fuel Return Pressure Regulator
Pressure regulator
Result: The problem has been resolved.
Return the unit to service.
Result: The problem has not been resolved.
Proceed to Test Step 6.
6. Perform a Cylinder Cutout Test in Cat ET
Test was not successful
Result: The Cylinder Cutout Test was not successful.
Repair: Replace the identified injectors. Verify that all trim files are installed into the ECM correctly. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Injector Trim File - Install". Repeat the "Fuel System Verification Test" after making the necessary repairs. Repeat the process until all the injectors are operating properly.
If the procedure did not correct the issue, contact your Cat dealer Technical Communicator (TC). For further assistance, your TC can confer with the Dealer Solutions Network (DSN).
