FILTER ELEMENT-FUEL 2506527 - Caterpillar

Active Diagnostic Code - An active diagnostic code alerts the operator or the service technician that an electronic system malfunction is currently present. Refer to the term "Diagnostic Code" in this glossary.Aftertreatment - Aftertreatment is a system that is used to remove pollutants from exhaust gases. The system consists of a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and a Catalyzed Diesel Particulate Filter (CDPF).Air-To-Air Aftercooler - An air-to-air aftercooler is a device that is used on turbocharged engines in order to cool inlet air that has undergone compression. The inlet air is cooled after the inlet air passes through the turbocharger. The inlet air is passed through an aftercooler (heat exchanger) that uses ambient air for cooling. The inlet air that has been cooled advances to the inlet manifold. Alternating Current (AC) - Alternating current is an electric current that reverses direction at a regular interval that is reoccurring.Before Top Center (BTC) - BTC is the 180 degrees of crankshaft rotation before the piston reaches the top center position in the normal direction of rotation.Boost Pressure - The difference between the turbocharger outlet pressure and atmospheric pressure is commonly referred to as boost pressure. The sensor for the intake manifold air pressure measures the amount of boost.Breakout Harness - The breakout harness is a test harness that is designed to connect into the engine harness. This connection allows a normal circuit operation and the connection simultaneously provides a Breakout T in order to measure the signals.Bypass Circuit - A bypass circuit is a circuit that is used as a substitute circuit for an existing circuit. A bypass circuit is typically used as a test circuit.CAN Data Link (see also J1939 CAN Data Link) - The CAN Data Link is a serial communications port that is used for communication with other microprocessor-based devices.Catalyzed Diesel Particulate Filter - The Catalyzed Diesel Particulate Filter (CDPF) filters particulates from the exhaust gases. A coating on the internal surfaces reacts with the hot exhaust gases in order to burn off the particulates. This process prevents the CDPF from becoming blocked with soot.Caterpillar NOx Reduction System - The Caterpillar NOx Reduction System recycles a portion of the exhaust gases back into the inlet air in order to reduce the amount of nitrous oxide (NOx) in the exhaust gases. The recycled exhaust gas passes through a cooler before being introduced into the inlet air.Code - Refer to "Diagnostic Code" or "Event Code".Cold Mode - Cold mode is a mode for cold starting and for cold engine operation. This mode is used for engine protection, reduced smoke emissions, and faster warm-up time.Communication Adapter Tool - The communication adapter provides a communication link between the ECM and the Electronic Service Tool.Component Identifier (CID) - The CID is a number that identifies the specific component of the electronic control system that has experienced a diagnostic code.Coolant Temperature Sensor - The coolant temperature sensor detects the engine coolant temperature for all normal operating conditions and for engine monitoring.Customer Specified Parameters -
