Troubleshooting Section
Excessive Leakage from the Unit Injector
Tip or a Broken U
nit Injector Tip
Look for signs of damage to the unit injectors.
If necessary,
replace the unit injectors that have
damaged tips.
Cr acked Cylin
derHeadorLeaking
Cylinder Head Gasket
Check for sym
ptoms of a damaged cylinder head or
cylinder head gasket.
Inspect the c
ooling system for contamination of fuel.
Inspect the crankcase for dilution of the engine oil.
This may be a sign of a cracked cylinder head or of a
leaking cyli
nder head gasket.
Leakage of the Drive Shaft Seal on the
Fuel Transfe
rPump
Ensure that the weep hole for the fuel transfer pump
is not plugg
ed. Inspect the front of the pump for signs
of leakage. If necessary, repair the fuel transfer pump
or replace the fuel transfer pump.

Recommended Actions
Diagnost
ic Codes and/or Event Codes
Certain diagnostic codes and/or event codes may
causeane
ngine shutdown. Connect the Caterpillar
Electronic Technician (ET) and check for active codes
and for logged codes. Troubleshoot any codes that
are prese
nt prior to continuing with this procedure.
Electrical Connectors
1. Check for correct installation of the J1/P1 and
J2/P2 connectors for the Electronic Control Module
(ECM). Also, t
horoughly inspect the connectors
for the engine speed/timing sensors. Refer to
the diagnostic functional test Troubleshooting,
“Electrical
Connectors - Inspect”.
2. Inspect the battery wires from the ECM to the
battery comp
artment. Refer to the Schematic for
specific wiring information. Check the unit injector
connectors and associated wiring for damage, or
for intermit
tent problems. Inspect the wires and
connectors to all circuit protection for the engine.
Check the power and ground connections to
the ECM. Che
ck any engine shutdown switches
and associated wiring. Refer to the diagnostic
functional test Troubleshooting, “Electrical Power
Supply Circ
uit - Test”.
Circuit Breakers
Check the state of each of the circuit breakers. Reset
the circuit breakers if the circuit breakers are tripped.
Prior to re
turning the engine to service, determine
the condition that caused the circuit breaker to trip.
Make the necessary repairs.
Fuel Supply
1. Visually c
heck the fuel level in the fuel tank. Do not
rely on the fuel gauge only. If necessary, add fuel
to the fuel tank. If the engine has been run out of
fuel,itw
ill be necessary to prime the fuel system.
Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
2. Check the
fuel lines for the following problems:
restrictions, collapsed lines, and pinched lines. If
problems are found with the fuel lines, repair the
lines an
d/or replace the lines.
3. Check the fuel tank for debris or foreign objects
which ma
y block the fuel supply.
NOTICE
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than
30 secon
ds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two
minutes before cranking the engine again.
4. Prime th
e fuel system if any of the following
procedures have been performed:
•
Replace
ment of the fuel filters
•
Service on the low pressure fuel supply circuit
•
Replacement of unit injectors
Note: Ch
eck the fuel system for air. Refer to the
Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting manual.
