VALVE-INLET 5133495 - Caterpillar

The connection of any electrical equipment and the disconnection of any electrical equipment may cause an explosion hazard which may result in injury or death. Do not connect any electrical equipment or disconnect any electrical equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
Note: Use this procedure only if the engine shut down completely and it was necessary to restart the engine.Probable Causes
Diagnostic codes or event codes
Engine parameters
Electrical connections
Electronic unit injector connector
Fuel supply
Injection actuation pressure control system
Remote shutdown switch (if equipped)Note: If the problem only occurs under certain conditions such as high engine speed, full load or engine operating temperature, then perform the test under those operating conditions.Recommended Actions
Diagnostic Codes or Event Codes
Certain diagnostic codes and/or event codes may cause the engine to shutdown. Connect the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) and check for active codes and/or for logged codes. Troubleshoot any codes that are present before continuing with this procedure.Engine Parameters
The engine may be shut down due to low pressure levels or other factors. Connect Cat ET and check for active shutdowns or diagnostic codes.If a shutdown is active, "Injection Disabled" will appear in the third box of any status screen on Cat ET.An engine shutdown event will appear on a CAN J1939 device if the device is capable of displaying diagnostic codes.Electrical Connections to the ECM
thoroughly inspect the J1/P1 and the J2/P2 ECM connectors. Inspect the J401/P401 and the J402/P402 engine speed/timing sensor connectors. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".
Check Cat ET for a 168-02 System Voltage intermittent/erratic that is active or logged.Check the battery connection at the J1/P1 ECM connector and the J61 customer connector. Refer to the Electrical System Schematic for your engine.Perform a pull test on the following power terminals:
P1-48 Unswitched +Battery
P1-52 Unswitched +Battery
P1-53 Unswitched +Battery
P1-61 -Battery
P1-63 -Battery
P1-65 -Battery
P1-70 Switched +Battery
P61-1 Unswitched +Battery
P61-26 Switched +Battery
P61-31 Unswitched +Battery
P61-32 Unswitched +BatteryRefer to Troubleshooting, " Electrical Connectors - Inspect".Note: The problem may only occur when the engine is at normal operating temperature. As the engine cools, the problem may disappear. The circuit breakers may be exceeding the trip point because of the overheating. Check the circuit breakers on the engine. If necessary, reset the circuit breakers.Note: Aftermarket engine protection devices usually interrupt power to the ECM. Check for correct installation and for operation of aftermarket engine protection devices. It may be necessary to bypass aftermarket devices in order to continue testing.Electronic Unit Injector Connector
Thoroughly inspect the J300/P300 unit injector connector. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".Check the Fuel Supply
Check the fuel level.
Monitor the exhaust for smoke while the engine is being cranked.If no smoke is present, there may be a problem with the fuel quality or there may be a problem with the fuel supply.
Check the fuel pressure. Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System Pressure - Test".
Ensure that the fuel system has been primed. Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System - Prime".
Check for fuel supply lines that are restricted.
Check the fuel filters.
Cold weather adversely affects the characteristics of the fuel. Refer to Special Publication, SEBU6251,
