Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check for Codes
A. Connect Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector.
B. Look for active codes that are associated with the system for the event code.
Codes
Result: A code is active or logged.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Check for a Restriction in the Inlet Air System
A. Check the air filter restriction indicator, if equipped. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for additional information.
B. Measure the inlet air restriction for each turbocharger. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Inlet Air Is Restricted" for additional information.
Restriction
Result: The inlet air restriction is OK.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
Result: The inlet air restriction is NOT OK. An imbalance in the system is discovered.
Repair: Repair or replace damaged inlet air system components. Equalize the inlet air restriction for each of the turbochargers.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 3.
3. Test the Fuel Injectors
A. Connect Cat ET.
B. Use Cat ET to perform the following fuel injector tests:
- "Injector Solenoid Test"
- "Cylinder Cutout Test"
Refer to Troubleshooting, "Cat ET Service Features" for additional information.
Fuel Injectors
Result: The tests were successful.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
Result: The tests were not successful.
Repair: Diagnose the problem. Repair or replace damaged components.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 4.
4. Check for Proper Operation of the Turbocharger
A. Check for any oil that may be leaking into the inlet air.
Turbocharger
Result: The turbocharger is leaking oil into the inlet air.
Repair: Repair or replace damaged turbocharger.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
