Coolant Level Sensor
The coolant level sensor monitors the engine coolant level. The sensor will detect coolant level. The coolant level sensor provides information to the ECM. The output from the ECM can indicate a low coolant level through a relay or a lamp. Coolant must be added to the cooling system in order to correct the condition. See the Operation and Maintenance Manual for more information.The system can be programmed with one of the following options:Enabled - The system will monitor the input from the coolant level sensor. The system is programmed with this value when the engine is shipped by Caterpillar.Disabled - The system will monitor the input from the coolant level sensor. All of the diagnostics that are associated with the coolant level sensor will be disabled.Failure of the Coolant Level Sensor
A failure of the coolant level sensor may occur under the following conditions:
The coolant level sensor is open.
The coolant level sensor is shorted to ground.
The coolant level sensor is shorted to supply.The failure of the coolant level sensor will not cause a shutdown of the engine or any horsepower change.Engine Oil Pressure Sensor
The engine oil pressure sensor can detect engine oil pressure for diagnostic purposes. The engine oil pressure sensor sends a signal to the Electronic Control Module (ECM).Low Oil Pressure Warning
The setpoint is dependent upon the engine rpm. The fault will be active and logged only if the engine has been running for more than 15 seconds. Very Low Oil Pressure Warning
The low oil pressure setpoint is dependent upon the engine rpm. If Derate mode is selected, the ECM will derate the engine power. The engine horsepower will be limited.Failure of the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor
If one of the following conditions exist, a failure of the engine oil pressure sensor may have occurred:
The engine oil pressure sensor is open.
The engine oil pressure sensor is shorted to ground or supply.
Measured reading of the oil pressure is out of the specification.The ECM will detect the failure of the engine oil pressure sensor. The diagnostic lamp warns the user about the status of the engine oil pressure sensor. The oil pressure related strategies will be disabled. The failure of the engine oil pressure sensor will not cause a shutdown of the engine or any horsepower change.Fuel Pressure Sensor
The fuel pressure sensor monitors the fuel filter outlet pressure. Low fuel pressure or high fuel pressure will not cause a shutdown of the engine or any horsepower change. Fuel pressure that is outside of the normal range will affect the engine performance. If the fuel filter outlet pressure is low, the fuel filter may need to be replaced.

Fuel Pressure Sensor
Minimum allowable pressure of the fuel transfer pump at full load speed 415 kPa (60 psi)
Minimum allowable pressure in the fuel manifold at full load speed 276 kPa (40 psi) Fuel Temperature Sensor
The fuel temperature sensor monitors the fuel temperature. Fuel temperature is monitored in order to adjust the fuel rate so that the engine will deliver
