KIT-SEAL- 2578422 - Caterpillar

Use this procedure to troubleshoot a problem with the turbocharger turbine inlet temperature sensor. Also, use this procedure if one of the following diagnostic codes is active or easily repeated.
Table 1
J1939 Code and Description CDL Code and Description Comments
1180-3
Engine Turbocharger 1 Turbine Inlet Temperature : Voltage Above Normal 3908-3
Engine Turbocharger #1 Turbine Intake Temperature Sensor : Voltage Above Normal If the signal from the other exhaust temperature sensor is OK, the signal from that sensor is used. If the signal from the other exhaust temperature sensor is not OK, a default value of 0 °C (32 °F) is used.
The code is logged.
1180-4
Engine Turbocharger 1 Turbine Inlet Temperature : Voltage Below Normal 3908-4
Engine Turbocharger #1 Turbine Intake Temperature Sensor : Voltage Below Normal If the signal from the other exhaust temperature sensor is OK, the signal from that sensor is used. If the signal from the other exhaust temperature sensor is not OK, a default value of 0 °C (32 °F) is used.
The code is logged.
1180-8
Engine Turbocharger 1 Turbine Inlet Temperature : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period 3908-8
Engine Turbocharger #1 Turbine Intake Temperature Sensor : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period If the signal from the other exhaust temperature sensor is OK, the signal from that sensor is used. If the signal from the other exhaust temperature sensor is not OK, a default value of 0 °C (32 °F) is used.
The code is logged.
1181-3
Engine Turbocharger 2 Turbine Inlet Temperature : Voltage Above Normal 3909-3
Engine Turbocharger #2 Turbine Intake Temperature Sensor : Voltage Above Normal If the signal from the other exhaust temperature sensor is OK, the signal from that sensor is used. If the signal from the other exhaust temperature sensor is not OK, a default value of 0 °C (32 °F) is used.
The code is logged.
1181-4
Engine Turbocharger 2 Turbine Inlet Temperature : Voltage Below Normal 3909-4
Engine Turbocharger #2 Turbine Intake Temperature Sensor : Voltage Below Normal If the signal from the other exhaust temperature sensor is OK, the signal from that sensor is used. If the signal from the other exhaust temperature sensor is not OK, a default value of 0 °C (32 °F) is used.
The code is logged.
1181-8
