Engine Exhaust Gas Temperature: High - moderates severity (2) E194 (2)
High Exhaust Temperature The exhaust gas temperature is higher than expected for the engine operating conditions.
173-31
Engine Exhaust Gas Temperature E21(1)
Engine Exhaust Gas Temperature Engine protection derate due to high exhaust temperatures. If the engine is shutdown due to a high exhaust temperature, the power to the engine Electronic Control Module (ECM) must be cycled to restart the engine.Note: Certain operating conditions may cause the calculated exhaust temperature to increase to a level that may damage engine components. If a high exhaust temperature occurs, the ECM derates the engine to reduce the calculated exhaust temperature. The engine is derated only to a level that allows the calculated exhaust temperature to return to an acceptable level.High intake manifold air temperature, high altitude operation, and high engine loads can cause the exhaust temperature to increase to a level that may damage the components of the exhaust system. When this occurs, the ECM derates the engine to reduce the exhaust temperature. This protects the components of the exhaust system from damage.Probable Causes

Troubleshooting Test Step Value Result
1. Check for Codes
A. Connect Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector.
B. Look for active codes that are associated with the system for the event code.
Codes
Result: An associated code is active.
Repair: Troubleshoot any associated codes before continuing with this test.
Result: A code is active or logged.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Check for High Intake Air Temperature
Note: A one degree increase in the intake manifold temperature will increase the exhaust temperature by approximately three degrees.
A. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Intake Manifold Air Temperature Is High" for additional information.
Temperature
Result: The intake manifold air temperature is OK.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
Result: The intake manifold air temperature is NOT OK.
Repair: Determine the cause of the high intake manifold air temperature and correct the problem.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 3.
3. Check for a Restriction in the Inlet Air System
Note: Inlet air restriction can cause uneven exhaust port temperatures. Cylinders at the front half of the engine may have exhaust port temperatures that are lower than the exhaust port temperatures for the cylinders at the rear half of the engine by 10 °C to 20 °C (18 °F to 36 °F).
A. Check the air filter restriction indicator, if equipped. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for additional information.
B. Measure the inlet air restriction for each turbocharger. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Inlet Air Is Restricted" for additional information.
Restriction
Result: The inlet air restriction is OK .
Proceed to Test Step 4.
Result: The inlet air restriction is NOT OK. An imbalance in the system is discovered.
Repair: Repair or replace damaged inlet air system components. Equalize the inlet air restriction for each of the turbochargers.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 4.
4. Check for Engine Overload
Note: When the load that is applied to the engine is too large, the engine will run in the lug condition. When the engine is running in the lug condition, engine rpm does not increase with an increase of fuel.
Load
Result: The engine is not being overloaded.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
Result: The engine is being overloaded.
Repair: Reduce engine load to an acceptable limit.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 5.
5. Check for a Restriction in the Exhaust System
Note: A restriction of the exhaust can cause high cylinder temperatures.
A. Measure the exhaust restriction during engine operation with a load. For data that is specific to your engine, refer to the Technical Marketing Information (TMI).
Restriction
Result: There are no exhaust restrictions.
Proceed to Test Step 6.
Result: There are exhaust restrictions.
Repair: Repair or replace damaged exhaust system components.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 6.
6. Check for Heavy Buildup of Deposits in the Cylinder or Internal Oil Leaks
A. Use a borescope to inspect the cylinders. Look for the following conditions:
- Deposits on the valve seats
- Deposit on the valve faces
- Deposits on the cylinder walls that are above the upper limit of the piston stroke
- Signs of internal oil leaks
Deposits and Leaks
Result: The cylinder check is NOT OK.
Repair: Repair or replace damaged components.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
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).
