FLANGE 2Y4568 - Caterpillar

Table 1 lists the diagnostic code that relates to the combustion air system.Note: Some of the following codes may not be applicable for certain applications.Note: Refer to Troubleshooting, "Cat ET Service Features" for information about service features.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes
J1939 Code CDL Code Description Comments
3474-14 E1026 (1) Aftertreatment #1 Loss of Combustion The Aftertreatment Regeneration Device (ARD) has stopped generating heat at least four times during an active high-speed regeneration.
Associated codes may indicate the system that caused the loss of combustion to occur.
The code must be cleared with the "Reset All" button on the active diagnostics screen in Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET). If an active regeneration is initiated with the operator forced regeneration switch, the Engine Control Module (ECM) clears this code automatically.
3474-31 E1026 (2) Aftertreatment #1 Loss of Combustion The ARD has stopped generating heat at least four times during an active regeneration.
Associated codes may indicate the system that caused the loss of combustion to occur.
The code must be cleared with the "Reset All" button on the active diagnostics screen in Cat ET. If an active regeneration is initiated with the operator forced regeneration switch, the ECM clears this code automatically. System OperationThe combustion air system routes pressurized air from the outlet of the turbocharger compressor to the ARD. The combustion air is mixed with fuel inside the ARD. The air/fuel mixture is ignited and the air/fuel mixture is burned to provide heat for the diesel particulate filter.

(6) ARD combustion head
(7) ARD spark plug
(8) Inlet for the combustion airWhen the A5:E2 aftertreatment controller determines that the combustion air valve should be opened, the controller sends a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal to the valve. This PWM signal causes the valve to open. A position sensor located in the combustion air valve assembly then sends a signal back to the A5:E2 aftertreatment controller showing the actual position of the valve.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check for Associated Diagnostic Trouble Codes
A. Establish communication between Cat ET and the Electronic Control Module (ECM). Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools", if necessary.
B. Download the "Warranty Report" from the engine ECM before performing any troubleshooting or clearing diagnostic trouble codes.
C. If troubleshooting a E1026 or a 3474 code, access the Aftertreatment Regeneration History in Cat ET. Click the information tab, then click History, and then click Aftertreatment Regeneration History. If there were three successful regenerations since the code was logged, do not troubleshoot this code. Clear the code and return the unit to service.
