BEARING 1192140 - Caterpillar

Use this procedure in order to troubleshoot a low coolant temperature. Or, use this procedure if one of the following event codes is active.
Table 1
Event Code    
Code and Description    Conditions which Generate this Code    System Response    
E199(1) Low Coolant Temperature : least severe     The temperature of the engine coolant has fallen below the trip point for the programmed delay time.     The code is logged.
The ECM may derate the engine or shutdown the engine.    
E199(2) Low Coolant Temperature : moderate severity     The temperature of the engine coolant has fallen below the trip point for the programmed delay time.    
E199(3) Low Coolant Temperature : most severe     The temperature of the engine coolant has fallen below the trip point for the programmed delay time.    Probable Causes
Ambient temperatures (if applicable)
Loads (if applicable)
Engine speed
Cooling fan (if applicable)
Water temperature regulator
Auxiliary coolant heater (if equipped)
Temperature sensorRecommended Actions
Note: The procedures have been listed in order of probability. Complete the procedures in the order of the listed test steps.
Table 2
Troubleshooting Test Steps     Values     Results    
1. Extreme Ambient Temperatures (if applicable)
A. Extreme ambient temperature can cause overcooling.
   
Extreme ambient temperatures    
Result: Ambient temperatures are extreme.
Repair: Install winter covers.
Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.
Result: Ambient temperatures are not extreme.
Proceed to Test Step 2.    
2. Load Factor (if applicable)
A. Light loads can cause overcooling. This overcooling is caused by the low heat input of the engine.
   
Light loads    
Result: Engine is operating under a light load.
Repair: Increase load factor if possible.
Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.
Result: Engine is not operating under a light load.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
   
3. Low Engine Speed
A. Low engine speed can cause overcooling.
   
Low engine speed    
Result: Engine is running at a low speed.
Repair: Increase engine speed if possible.
Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.
Result Engine is not running at a low speed.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
   
4. The Cooling Fan is Always On (if applicable)
A. If the cooling fan is always on, overcooling can occur.
   
Fan always on    
Result The cooling fan is always on.
Repair: Resolve the issue.
Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.
Result The cooling fan is not always on.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
   
5. Water Temperature Regulator
A regulator that is stuck open can cause overcooling.
A. Test the water temperature regulator according to Testing and Adjusting, "Water Temperature Regulator - Test".
B. Make sure that the proper water temperature regulator is installed. Refer to the Specifications manual for the correct water temperature regulator.
   
Water temperature regulator    
Result The regulator is stuck open or not installed.
Repair: Replace the regulator.
Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.
Result The regulator not is stuck open is installed.
Proceed to Test Step 6.
   
6. Auxiliary Coolant Heater (if equipped)
A malfunctioning auxiliary coolant heater can cause low coolant temperature.
A. Determine if the engine is equipped with an auxiliary coolant heater.
B. Check the heater for proper operation.
   
Auxiliary coolant heater    
Result The coolant heater is not operating properly.
