Diagnostic Trouble Codes
CDL Code J1939 Code Code Description
(code descriptions may vary) Comments
E361(1) 110-15 Engine Coolant Temperature High- Least Severe (1) The engine coolant temperature has exceeded the trip point and delay time has expired.
The code is logged.
E361(2) 110-16 High Engine Coolant Temperature High - Moderate Severity (2) The engine coolant temperature has exceeded the trip point and the delay time has expired.
The code is logged.
E361(3) 110-0 Engine Coolant Temperature High - Most Severe (3) The engine coolant temperature has exceeded the trip point and the delay time has expired.
Engine power is derated.
The code is logged. Probable Causes
Low Coolant Level and/or Coolant Leakage
Coolant Temperature Sensor
Water Temperature Regulator and/or Pressure Relief Valve
NOx Reduction System (NRS) Cooler Leak
Radiator
Heat Exchanger
Engine Cooling Fan (if equipped)
Coolant Pump

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Coolant
A. Inspect the coolant level.
Engine Coolant Level
Result: The engine coolant level is OK.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: The engine coolant level is not OK.
Repair: Check the cooling system for leaks. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Coolant Level is Low" for additional information. Repair any leaks immediately.
2. Coolant Temperature Sensor and/or the Circuit
A. Check the reading of the coolant temperature on Cat ET. The temperature should rise steadily as the engine is warmed. Ensure that the temperature is reasonable.
Coolant Temperature Sensor
Result: The temperature sensor is working properly.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
Result: The temperature sensor is not working properly.
Repair: Troubleshoot the circuit and the coolant temperature sensor. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Sensor Signal (Analog, Passive) - Test".
3. Water Temperature Regulator and/or Pressure Relief Valve
A. Pressure-test the cooling system. Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting for the correct procedure.
B. Check that the seating surfaces of the pressure relief valve and the radiator cap are clean and undamaged.
C. Check operation of the pressure relief valve and/or the water temperature regulator.
Temperature Regulator
Result:
