SHAFT 4D2184 - Caterpillar

Use this procedure in order to troubleshoot high fuel temperature. Also, use this procedure if one of the following event codes is active.
Table 1
Event Code
CDL Code and Description Conditions which Generate this Code System Response
E363(1) High Fuel Supply Temperature The fuel temperature of the low-pressure fuel system is above the trip point for the programmed delay time. The code is logged.
E363(2) High Fuel Supply Temperature The code is logged.
Engine power will be derated.
E363(3) High Fuel Supply Temperature
E770(1) High Fuel Rail Temperature The fuel temperature of the high-pressure system is above the trip point for the programmed delay time. The code is logged.
E770(2) High Fuel Rail Temperature The code is logged.
Engine power will be derated.
E770(3) High Fuel Rail Temperature The code is logged.
The engine is shut down. If high fuel temperature shuts down the engine, cycle the power to the engine Electronic Control Module (ECM) in order to restart.Probable Causes

Troubleshooting Test Step Value Result
1. Check for Codes
A. Connect Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools", if necessary.
B. Download the "Product Status Report" from the engine ECM before performing any troubleshooting or clearing diagnostic trouble codes.
C. Determine if the diagnostic trouble code that directed to this procedure is present.
D. Look for active diagnostic codes that are associated with the system for the event code that directed to this procedure.
E363
E770
Result: An associated code is present.
Repair: Troubleshoot any associated codes before continuing with this test.
Result: An E363 or E770 code is present.
Proceed to the next step.
Result: No active codes
STOP
2. Check the High-pressure Fuel Pump
A. Use the time stamps that are for the logged events in order to determine when the following events were active:
- E770
- E363
E363
E770
Result: The E770 was active at the same time the E363 was active.
Proceed to Step 4.
Result: The E770 was active and the E363 was not active.
Proceed to the next step.
3. Perform the Following Procedure
A. Start the engine. Run the engine until normal operating temperature is achieved.
B. Use Cat ET to monitor the following parameters:
- Fuel Temperature
- Fuel Rail Temperature
C. Compare the value of each parameter while the engine is at normal operating temperature.
D. Check that temperature difference across the high-pressure fuel pump.
The temperature difference across the high-pressure fuel pump must not exceed 40 °C (72 °F).
Temperature
Result: The temperature difference is OK.
Repair: Proceed to the next step.
Result: the temperature difference across the high-pressure fuel pump exceeds 40 °C (72 °F).
Repair: Replace the high-pressure fuel pump.
Replace the in-line high-pressure fuel filter element in the block assembly that is part of the front fuel injection line.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to the next step.
4. Inspect the Fuel Pressure Regulating Valve for Debris
Valve
Result: The valve is free of debris or was cleaned and reinstalled. The problem is not resolved.
Repair: If the valve is suspected of improper operation, replace the valve.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to the next step.
5. Check for a
