PLATE-RETAINER 7G5221 - Caterpillar

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)/CARB 2008 Certification is for the following vehicles: vehicles which are registered in the state of California, vehicles which are primarily operated in the state of California and vehicles which are operated in states which adopt the regulations which are mandated by California. Two options are available to comply with the regulations concerning CARB Idle Reduction.The engines can be programmed for the following options:
Engine Shutdown System (ESS)
Clean IdleNote: The following information does not apply to vehicles that are considered by the California Air Resources Board to be exempt. The following vehicles are examples of exempt vehicles: buses, school buses, recreational vehicles, military tactical vehicles and authorized emergency vehicles. These vehicles will have CARB emissions films, but the engines will not shut down due to extended idle times.Engines Which are Programmed with the Engine Shutdown System (ESS) Option

The engine is subject to idling restrictions if the engine is equipped with one of the preceding films. The configuration that meets the certification for engine emissions is programmed at the factory. This configuration restricts idling by shutting down the engine at the following intervals:
5 minutes (when the parking brake is activated)
15 minutes (when the parking brake is not activated)
30 minutes (while a regeneration of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is occurring)The amber warning lamp will flash for 30 seconds prior to the engine shutdown. During this time, the timer for the engine shutdown will reset if any transition of the following components occurs: clutch, brake, parking brake and accelerator pedal.A shutdown will occur when the following engine conditions exist:
The vehicle speed is zero mph.
The temperature of the engine coolant is at least 60° F.
The power take-off switch is in the OFF position.Note: The emissions parameter is factory protected. The emissions parameter can not be changed.Note: If the parking brake is not configured with the engine control module (ECM), the engine will shut down at 5 minutes or less. The timing of the shutdown is based on the parameter for the idle shutdown timer.Engines Which are Programmed with the Clean Idle Option
Illustration 3 g01719253Note: The emissions parameter is factory protected. The emissions parameter can not be changed.An engine which displays the film which is pictured above is programmed to Clean Idle. The film is located on the upper left side of the hood of the truck. The configuration that meets the emissions certification for the engine is programmed at the factory. This configuration uses engine software in order to reduce the emissions level of NOx to 30 grams per hour during idling. The "CHECK ENGINE" lamp will not flash prior to the elevation of the idle. In certain operating environments, the idle rpm may automatically rise to an rpm as high as 1200 rpm.

The maximum idle rpm depends on the model and on the altitude. The maximum idle rpm for a C13 On-highway Engine occurs at 2195
