Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting can be difficult. The TROUBLESHOOTING INDEX gives a list of possible problems. To make a repair to a problem, make reference to the cause and correction on the pages that follow.This list of problems, causes, and corrections will only give an indication of where a possible problem can be, and what repairs are needed. Normally, more or other repair work is needed beyond the recommendations in the list.Remember that a problem is not normally caused only by one part, but by the relation of one part with other parts. This list is only a guide and can not give all possible problems and corrections. Service personnel must find the problem and its source, then make the necessary repairs.Troubleshooting Problem List

Problem 1. Engine Crankshaft Will Not Turn When Start Switch Is On
Probable Cause:1. Battery Has Low Output Make Reference to Problem 26.2. Wires or Switches Have Defect Make Reference to Problem 26.3. Starter Motor Solenoid Has A Defect Make Reference to Problem 26.4. Starter Motor Has A Defect Make Reference to Problem 26.5. Inside Problem Prevents Engine Crankshaft From Turning If the crankshaft can not be turned after the driven equipment is disconnected, remove the fuel nozzles and check for fluid in the cylinders while the crankshaft is turned. If fluid in the cylinders is not the problem, the engine must be disassembled to check for other inside problems. Some of these inside problems are bearing seizure, piston seizure, wrong pistons installed in the engine, and valves making contact with pistons.Problem 2. Engine Will Not Start
Probable Cause:1. Starter Motor Turns Too Slow Make Reference to Problems 26 and 27.2. Dirty Fuel Filter Inltall new fuel filter.3. Dirty or Broke Fuel Lines Clean or install new fuel lines as necessary.4. Fuel Transfer Pump At starting rpm, the minimum fuel pressure from fuel transfer pump must be 35 kPa (5 psi). If fuel pressure is less than 35 kPa (5 psi), change the fuel filter element. Look for air in the fuel system. If fuel pressure is still low, install a new fuel transfer pump.5. No Fuel To Cylinders Put fuel in fuel tank. "Prime" (remove the air and/or low quality fuel) the fuel system.6. Bad Quality Fuel Remove the fuel from the fuel tank. Install a new fuel filter element. Put a good grade of clean fuel in the fuel tank. See Fuels For Caterpillar Diesel Engines, Special Instruction, Form No. SEHS7067 and Measuring Diesel Fuel AP1 Specific Gravity, Special Instruction, Form No. GMG00977.7. Wrong Fuel Injection Timing Make adjustment to timing.8. Shutoff Solenoid Will Not Move to Extended Position. The solenoid must get electricity to stop the engine. Operate the control for the shutoff solenoid and see if the solenoid makes a noise (clicking sound). If this sound can be heard and the engine will not start, remove the shutoff solenoid. Now see if the engine will start. If the engine starts, the shutoff solenoid is bad. Replacement of the solenoid is necessary.Problem 3. Engine Misfires Or Runs Rough
Probable Cause:1. Fuel Pressure is Low Make sure there is fuel in the fuel tank. Look for leaks or bad bends in the fuel line between fuel tank and fuel transfer pump. Look for air in the fuel system,
