B. Look for active codes that are associated with the system for the event code.
Codes
Result: An associated code is active.
Repair: Troubleshoot any associated codes before continuing with this test.
Result: A code is active or logged.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Check the Engine Coolant Temperature
A. Determine if a high coolant temperature condition exists.
Temperature
Result: The coolant temperature is OK.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
Result: The coolant temperature is NOT OK.
Repair: Refer to Troubleshooting, "Coolant Temperature Is High" for additional information.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 3.
3. Check the Engine Oil Level
Oil Level
Result: The oil level is OK.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
Result: The oil level is NOT OK.
Repair: Add oil and repair any leaks.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 4.
4. Check the Oil Temperature Regulators
A. Make sure that the engine oil temperature regulators open according to the correct values. Refer to Specifications, "Engine Oil Temperature Regulators" for additional information.
Regulators
Result: The oil temperature regulators are OK.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
Result: The oil temperature regulators are NOT OK.
Repair: Replace the oil temperature regulators.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 5.
5. Check the Oil Cooler for a Restriction
A. Check the inlet side of the oil cooler for debris or blockage.
Restriction
Result: There was not debris or restrictions in the oil cooler.
