CONE-BEARING 9W5837 - Caterpillar

The exhaust gas that flows from the exhaust manifold is mixed with fresh air. The NRS meters the mixture of air and exhaust. The NRS also cools the mixture. This mixture will reduce the NOx emissions of the engine.The following NRS consists of the following components:
NRS cooler
NRS venturi
NRS absolute pressure sensor
NRS differential pressure sensor
NRS temperature sensor
NRS valveThe following diagnostic trouble codes aid in detection of pressure and air flow issues within the NRS.Note: Some of the following codes may not be applicable for certain applications.
Table 1
Diagnostic Trouble Codes
J1939 Code and Description CDL Code and Description Comments
411-15
High EGR Differential Pressure E1094 (1)
High EGR Differential Pressure The ECM detects an abnormally high reading from the NRS differential pressure sensor.
411-17
Low EGR Differential Pressure E1093 (1)
Low EGR Differential Pressure The ECM detects an abnormally low reading from the NRS differential pressure sensor.
2659-15
High EGR Mass Flow Rate E1096 (1)
High EGR Mass Flow Rate The ECM detects a higher than desired flow rate through the NRS
2659-17
Low EGR Mass Flow Rate E1095 (1)
Low EGR Mass Flow Rate The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects a lower than desired flow rate through the NRS Note: EGR is an industry standard term used to describe the recirculation of exhaust gas through the engine as a means to reduce "NOx" emissions. Caterpillar has elected to refer to this system as the "NOx Reduction System" (NRS). Diagnostic codes are regulated by SAE, therefore, the diagnostic codes still reflect the EGR nomenclature.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes
A. Establish communication between Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) and the ECM . Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools", if necessary.
B. Troubleshoot any active or logged diagnostic trouble codes before troubleshooting the event codes outlined in this procedure.
Determine if an associated code is active or logged. Table 2 lists associated diagnostic codes.
Associated Codes
Result: There are associated codes.
Repair: Refer to Troubleshooting, "Event Codes" in order to troubleshoot the associated diagnostic code.
Result: There are no associated codes. If the original diagnostic trouble code was a E1095, E1096, 2659-15 and/or a 2659-17.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: There are no associated codes. If the original diagnostic trouble code was a E1093, E1094, 411-17 and/or 411-15.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
Result: There are no associated codes. If the original diagnostic trouble code was a E1095 or 2659-17.
Proceed to Test Step 3.

2. Inspect the NRS for Leakage
A. Inspect the following components of the NRS for leakage:
1. Exhaust manifold
2. Connections for NRS cooler inlet and NRS cooler outlet
3. NRS venturi inlet and outlet connections
4. Port locations for NRS differential pressure sensor and NRS absolute pressure sensor
5. Connections for NRS inlet valve and NRS outlet valve
