PISTON 8J0553 - Caterpillar

System Operation Description:Table 1 lists the diagnostic trouble codes for high intake manifold air temperature. Access the engine monitoring system on Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) in order to view the current trip points for these codes. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Engine Monitoring Parameters" for information about engine events.
Table 1
Engine Events
J1939 Code and Description Conditions that Generate the Code System Response
105-0 Engine Intake Manifold #1 Temperature : High - most severe (3) The temperature of the intake air into the engine has risen above the programmed threshold for the specified delay time. The code is logged.
105-15 Engine Intake Manifold #1 Temperature : High - least severe (1)
105-16 Engine Intake Manifold #1 Temperature : High - moderate severity (2)
1132-15 Engine Intake Manifold #3 Temperature : High - least severe (1) Follow the troubleshooting procedure in order to identify the root cause of the problem.Test Step 1. Check for Active Diagnostic Codes
Establish communication between Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) and the Electronic Control Module (ECM). Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools" for details.
Download the "Product Summary Report" from the ECM before performing any troubleshooting or clearing diagnostic trouble codes.
Determine if an associated code is active or logged. Refer to Table 2 for a list of associated codes.

Associated Codes
J1939 Code Description
412-15 Engine Exhaust Gas Recirculation Temperature : High - least severe (1)
412-16 Engine Exhaust Gas Recirculation Temperature : High - moderate severity (2)
Check for active diagnostic codes that are related to a high intake manifold air temperature. Check for an active 105 diagnostic trouble code. Expected Result:No codes are active.Results:
OK - No codes are active at this time, but the engine has a high intake manifold air temperature. Proceed to Test Step 2.
Active 412 Code - A 412 code is active.Repair: Refer to Troubleshooting, "Diagnostic Trouble Codes" in order to troubleshoot the associated diagnostic code.STOP
Active 105 Code or 1132 Code - A 105 code or a 1132 code is active. The engine has a high intake manifold air temperature. Proceed to Test Step 2.Test Step 2. Check the Air To Air Aftercooler (ATAAC) for Restrictions (if equipped)
