REGULATOR-WATER TEMPERATURE 1167577 - Caterpillar

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Caterpillar products.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) contains no moving parts. Replacement of the ECM can be costly. Replacement can also be a time consuming task. Follow the troubleshooting procedures in this manual in order to be sure that replacing the ECM will correct the problem. Verify that the suspect ECM is the cause of the problem.Note: Ensure that the ECM is receiving power and that the ECM is properly wired to the negative battery circuit before a replacement of the ECM is attempted. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Power Supply".A spare ECM can be used to determine if the ECM is faulty. Install a spare ECM in place of the suspect ECM. Flash program the correct flash file into the spare ECM. Program the parameters for normal operation of the engine. The parameters must match the parameters in the suspect ECM. Refer to the following test steps for details. If the spare ECM resolves the problem, connect the suspect ECM. Verify that the problem returns. If the problem returns, replace the suspect ECM.Note: When a new ECM is not available, you may need to remove an ECM from an engine that is not in service. The interlock code for the replacement ECM must match the interlock code for the suspect ECM. Be sure to record the parameters from the replacement ECM on the "Parameters Worksheet". Use the "Copy Configuration/ECM Replacement" feature that is found under the "Service" menu on the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET).
If the personality module and engine application are not matched, engine damage may result.
Perform the following procedure in order to replace the ECM.
Record the configuration data:
Connect Cat ET to the service tool connector. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools".
Print the parameters from the "Configuration" screen on Cat ET. If a printer is unavailable, record all of the parameters. Record any logged diagnostic codes and logged event codes for your records. Record the injector codes from the "Calibrations" screen in the "Service" menu on Cat ET. Note: The injector trim code is a number that is found on each of the unit injectors. The ECM uses this number to compensate for manufacturing variations between individual injectors. If you replace any of the unit injectors, you must reprogram the trim code for the new injectors. Also, if you replace the ECM, you must reprogram all of the trim codes.
Use the "Copy Configuration/ECM Replacement" feature that is found under the "Service" menu on Cat ET. Select "Load from ECM" in order to copy the configuration data
