Low Engine Oil Pressure
SMCS Code: 1348
-035-LP
NOTICE
Do not operate engine with low oil pressure. Engine
damage will result. If measured engine oil pressure is
low, disconti
nue engine operation until the problem is
corrected.
Probable Caus
es
•
Engine oil level
•
Engine oil filters and oil filter bypass valve
•
Engine oil pum
p
•
Engine oil cooler
•
Fuel dilution
•
Engine wear
Recommended A
ctions
Engine Oil Level
Inspect the engine oil level. If engine oil is low add
engine oil. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance
Manual.
Engine Oil Filters and Oil Filter Bypass
Valve
Check the service records of the engine for
information
that is related to the last oil change. If
necessary, perform an oil change on the engine and
replace the engine oil filters.
Check the operation of oil filter bypass valve. Clean
the bypass valve and the housing. If necessary,
install new
parts.
Engine Oil Pump
Check for blockage of the inlet screen for the engine
oil pump. Check the components of the engine oil
pump for ex
cessive wear. If necessary, repair the oil
pump or replace the oil pump.
Oil Cooler
Check the engine’s oil cooler for plugging or
blockage.
Clean the engine oil cooler core(s) and/or
install new engine oil cooler core(s).
Fuel Dilution
Check for presence of fuel in lubricating oil. Refer
to the troubleshooting without a diagnostic code
procedure Tro
ubleshooting, “Fuel Dilution of Engine
Oil”.
Engine Wear
Inspect the camshaft and/or camshaft bearings
for excessive
wear. Inspect the crankshaft and/or
crankshaft bearings. Excessive wear to discrete
components may be an indication of a blocked oil
passage. Use
an oil pressure gauge to check the
oil pressure at the main oil gallery. This will help
determine if the excessive wear is from low system
pressure or f
rom passages that are blocked.

Low Po w er/Poor or No
Response to T hrottle
SMCS Code: 1000-035
Probable Causes
•
Engine derate or active codes
•
Cold mode
•
Throttle signal
•
Electrical connectors
•
Unit injectors
•
Intake manifold pressure
•
Air inlet and exhaust system
•
Parameters
•
Fuel supply
Recommended Actions
Note: If the problem only occurs under certain
conditions, test the engine under those conditions.
Examples of certain conditions are high engine
speed, full load, and engine operating temperature.
Troubleshooting the symptoms under other
conditions can give misleading r esults.
Engine Derate or Active Codes
Some engine monitoring parameters that are capable
of triggering an engine derate do not produce an
event code. Connect Caterpillar Electronic Technician
(ET) in order to check for a derate of the engine.
