Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check for Active Codes and Logged Codes
A. Establish communication between Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) and the Electronic Control Module (ECM).
B. Monitor the diagnostic codes on Cat ET. Check for active diagnostic codes. Specifically check for codes related to the fuel system, air inlet and exhaust , and speed timing.
Note: Wait at least 30 seconds in order for diagnostic codes to become active.
Codes
Result: A code is active or logged.
Repair: Troubleshoot any codes before continuing with this procedure.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
Result: A code is not active or logged.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Excessive Idle or High Load
A. Use Cat ET to check the Current Totals for excessive idle time and/or for a high load factor. These factors would be indicative of poor operating habits.
Idle Time or Load
Result: The idle times or load was excessive.
Reduce idle times or load.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
Result: The idle times or load was not excessive.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
3. Check the Fuel Quality
A. The grade of the fuel affects the rate of fuel consumption. Refer to the engines Operation and Maintenance Manual for additional information.
Cold weather adversely affects the characteristics of the fuel. Monitor the status screen on Cat ET in order to verify that the engine has exited cold mode (if applicable). Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for information on improving the characteristics of the fuel during cold-weather operation.
Fuel Quality
Result: The fuel quality meets specifications.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
Result: The fuel quality does not meet specifications.
Repair: Replace the fuel with fuel that meets specifications.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
4. Inspect the Fuel System
Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System" for additional information.
A. Check for the proper operation of the fuel transfer pump.
Fuel system
Result: The fuel system is OK.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
Result: The fuel system is NOT OK.
Repair: Make the necessary repairs.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
5. Calibration Procedure of the Engine Speed/Timing
A. Perform a speed/timing sensor calibration. Refer to the calibration procedure Troubleshooting, "Timing - Calibrate".
Calibration
Result: The speed timing calibration was performed.
Proceed to Test Step 6.
6. Test the Fuel Injectors
A. Check for correct installation of the J1/P1 and J2/P2 Electronic Control Module (ECM) connectors and the injector connectors. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".
B. Perform the "Injector Solenoid Test" on Cat ET in order to determine if all of the injector solenoids are being energized by the ECM.
C. Perform the "Cylinder Cutout Test" on Cat ET in order to identify any injectors that might be misfiring. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Injector Solenoid - Test".
Fuel Injector
Result: The tests completed successfully.
Proceed to Test Step 7.
Result: The tests did not complete successfully.
Repair: Make the necessary repairs.
Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
7. Restriction in the Air Inlet and
