KIT-DT GASKET 2826655 - Caterpillar

Use this procedure to troubleshoot low engine oil pressure. Also, use this procedure if one of the following event codes is active.
Table 1
J1939 Codes and Description CDL Codes and Description Comments
100-17
Engine Oil Pressure : Low - least severe (1) E360 (1)
Low Engine Oil Pressure The code is logged.
100-18
Engine Oil Pressure : Low - moderate severity (2) E360 (2)
Low Engine Oil Pressure The code is logged.
100-1
Engine Oil Pressure : Low - most severe (3) E360 (3)
Low Engine Oil Pressure The code is logged. If the engine shuts down due to low oil pressure, power to the Electronic Control Module (ECM) must be cycled before restarting the engine.Probable Causes
Codes
Engine oil level
Oil pressure sensor

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check for Codes
A. Connect Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools", if necessary.
B. Look for active codes that are associated with the system for the event code.
Codes
Result: An associated code is present.
Repair: Troubleshoot any associated codes before continuing with this test.
Result: A 100-1, 100-17, or 100-18 code is present.
Proceed to the next step.
2. Check the Engine Oil Level
Level
Result: The engine oil is not low.
Proceed to the next step.
Result: The engine oil level is low.
Repair:
A: Inspect the engine for signs of external leaks.
B: Add engine oil in order to obtain the correct engine oil level. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, Engine Oil for the recommendations of engine oil.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to the next step.
3. Check the Oil Pressure Sensors
A. Use the Cat ET to compare the readings of the following:
- Unfiltered Oil Pressure (abs)
- Engine Oil Pressure (abs)
Parameter
value
Result: Both sensors read 0 14 kPa (0 2 psi) while the engine is off.
Repair: Refer to Testing and Adjusting, Engine Oil System - Inspect.
Result: A sensor does not read 0 14 kPa (0 2 psi) while the engine is off.
Repair: A sensor has failed in range, replace the sensor.
4. Ensure that the Oil Viscosity is Correct
For the correct engine oil to use, refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Viscosity
Result: The engine oil is of the correct type.
Proceed to the next step.
Result: The engine oil is not of the correct type.
Repair: Determine the reason why incorrect oil is in the engine.
Change the engine oil and the engine oil filter
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to the next step.
5. Check for Contaminated Engine Oil
A. Obtain an analysis of the engine oil.
High engine oil level can be an indication of contamination with fuel or coolant. Engine oil that is contaminated with another liquid will cause low engine oil pressure.
Contamination
Result: The oil is not contaminated.
Proceed to the next step.
Result: The oil is contaminated.
Repair: Determine the reason for contamination of the engine oil and make the necessary repairs.
Change the engine oil and the engine
