PACKING 1K7112 - Caterpillar

Use this procedure in order to troubleshoot high coolant temperature or use this procedure if one of the following event codes is active. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Event Codes" for information about event codes. Access the monitoring system on Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) in order to view the current trip points for these codes.Clear all "Active" codes using Cat ET before proceeding with the following procedure. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Diagnostic Capabilities - Clearing Active Codes for On Board Diagnostics (OBD)" for more information on clearing "Active" codes.

Troubleshooting Test Steps    Values    Results    
1. Coolant
A. Inspect the coolant level.
   
Engine coolant level
   
Result: The engine coolant level is OK.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: The engine coolant level is not OK.
Check the cooling system for leaks. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Coolant Level is Low" for additional information. Repair any leaks immediately.
   
2. Coolant Temperature Sensor and/or the Circuit
A. Check the reading of the coolant temperature on Cat ET. The temperature should rise steadily as the engine is warmed. Ensure that the temperature is reasonable.
   
Coolant temperature sensor
   
Result: The temperature sensor is working properly.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
Result: The temperature sensor is not working properly.
Troubleshoot the circuit and the coolant temperature sensor. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Sensor Signal (Analog, Passive) - Test".
   
3. Water Temperature Regulator and/or Pressure Relief Valve
A. Pressure-test the cooling system. Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting for the correct procedure.
B. Check that the seating surfaces of the pressure relief valve and the radiator cap are clean and undamaged.
C. Check operation of the pressure relief valve and/or the water temperature regulator.
   
Temperature regulator
   
Result: The pressure relief valve and/or the water temperature regulator are operating properly.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
Result: The pressure relief valve and/or the water temperature regulator are not operating properly.
Clean the components and/or replace the components.
   
4. NRS Cooler Leak
A. Check the NRS cooler for leaks. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Exhaust Cooler (NRS) - Test".
   
NRS cooler    
Result : The NRS cooler has a leak.
Replace the NRS cooler. Refer to the Disassembly and
