SENSOR GP-PRESSURE 5012207 - Caterpillar

Table 1
Event Code
Description Conditions which Activate The Code System Response
E197(1) High Engine Oil Temperature The engine oil temperature has risen above the trip point for the programmed delay time. The code is logged.
The alarm output is activated.
E197(3) High Engine Oil Temperature The code is logged.
The shutdown output is activated.
The engine is shut down. Probable Causes
Faulty oil temperature sensor and/or circuit
Insufficient coolant flow through the oil cooler
Insufficient oil flow through the oil coolerRecommended Actions
Faulty Oil Temperature Sensor and/or Circuit
Check the status of the "Engine Oil Temperature" on Cat ET. The temperature should rise steadily as the engine is warmed. Ensure that the temperature is reasonable.If the status of the "Engine Oil Temperature" on Cat ET is not reasonable, troubleshoot the circuit for the oil temperature sensor. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Sensor Signal (Analog, Active) - Test".Insufficient Coolant Flow Through the Oil Cooler
Oil Coolers that are Cooled with Jacket Water
Check for active event codes that are related to a high engine coolant temperature. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Coolant Temperature Is High".Oil Coolers that are Cooled by a Separate Circuit Coolant Source
Compare the temperature of the coolant at the inlet of the oil cooler to the temperature of the coolant at the outlet of the oil cooler. If the inlet temperature is OK, check the temperature of the coolant at the outlet of the oil cooler.A high temperature difference indicates an insufficient flow rate. Investigate the cause of the obstruction. Make the necessary repairs.Insufficient Oil Flow Through the Oil Cooler
Run the engine at normal operating temperature. Determine the pressure differential between the inlet and the outlet of the oil cooler. For comparative data, refer to the Technical Marketing Information (TMI) for your engine.If the pressure differential between the inlet and the outlet of the oil cooler exceeds the data that is published for the engine, there is an insufficient flow of oil through the oil cooler. Determine the cause of the obstruction. Perform the necessary repairs.Check if the engine oil cooler bypass valve is stuck in the open position. If the valve is stuck open, the oil will bypass the cooler and the oil temperature will increase. The cooler bypass valve is set to open with an oil pressure of 180 20 kPa (26 3 psi).
