HOUSING GP-AXLE 1808635 - Caterpillar

The ARD nozzles can become plugged with carbon or with debris. The Engine Control Module (ECM) periodically tests the condition of the nozzles. The engine is equipped with a system that cleans the nozzles. A restriction in a filter connector for the ARD combustion head can also set this code.Electric Heating Element - The ARD combustion head contains an electric heating element. The heating element operates periodically in order to clean the nozzles.Diagnostic Trouble CodesTable 1 lists the diagnostic trouble code for the cleaning system for the nozzle.Note: The following code may not be applicable for certain applications.

(11) Clamp-on ammeterOverrides on the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) for the Heated NozzleARD Fuel Nozzle Heat Cycle - This override activates the output for the heated nozzle in order to clean the nozzle. The output remains activated for approximately one hour. The engine coolant temperature must be greater than 60° C (140° F). The heat cycle will wait for an active regeneration to complete before starting. Once the override has been activated the heat cycle will automatically start as soon as conditions have been met and cannot be deactivated. It could take up to 8 minutes for conditions to be met for the heat cycle to turn on after being activated by the override. The heat cycle stops if the engine is stopped. The heat cycle continues when the engine is started. Active regenerations will not occur until the heat cycle is complete.Select the following menus in order to activate the overrides:

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check for Diagnostic Codes
A. Establish communication between Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) and the 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. Determine if a diagnostic trouble code is present.
Diagnostic Code
Result: A E1070 (1) or 3556-7 diagnostic code is present.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Check the Current Flow Through the Heater
A. Start the engine. Check the current flow through the heater. Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "ARD Nozzle Heater (Current) - Test" for the correct procedure.
