Troubleshooting Section
J. Check for a restriction in the exhaust system.
A restriction o
f the air that is coming out of the
engine can cause high cylinder temperatures.
K. Consider high
ambient temperatures. When
ambient temperatures are too high for the rating
of the cooling system, there is not enough of a
temperature
difference between the ambient air
and coolant temperatures.
L. Consider hig
h altitude operation. The cooling
capability of the cooling system is reduced at
higher altitudes. A pressurized cooling system that
is large enou
gh to keep the coolant from boiling
must be used.
M. The engine ma
y be running in the lug condition.
When the load that is applied to the engine is
too large, the engine will run in the lug condition.
When the eng
ine is running in the lug condition,
engine rpm does not increase with an increase of
fuel. This lower engine rpm causes a reduction in
coolant fl o
w through the system.
Expected Result:
A thorough inspection of the other engine systems
revealed a problem.
Results:
•
OK –Therei
s a problem with one of the other
engine systems.
Repair: Re
pair the problem. Ensure that the repair
eliminates the problem.
STOP.

E198 Low F
uel Pressure
SMCS Code: 1250-038-LP
Conditions Which G enerate This Code:
The Electr
onic Control Module (ECM) detects a low
fuel pressure. Information on default settings and
ranges for this event can be found in Troubleshooting,
“Event Co
des”.
System Response:
The ECM will log the event.
Possible
Performance Effect:
198(1)
•
There are no performance effects.
198(2)
•
Theenginepowe
r is derated.
198(3)
•
The engine is shut down.
Check the Fuel
System’s Com ponents
A. Inspect the pressure relief valve that is in the body
of fuel transf
er pump. Check for damage to the
spring or to the valve assembly.
B. Verify that th
epressureregulatingvalveinthefuel
manifold is operating correctly. Check for damage
or for dirt in the valve assembly.
C. Check the return line from the fuel fi lter base to
the fuel tank for damage or collapse.
Expected Result:
There is a pro
blem in the pressure relief valve, in the
pressure regulating valve, or in the return line to the
fuel tank.
Results:
•
OK – A problem
was found in the pressure relief
valve, in the pressure regulating valve, or in the
return line to the fuel tank.
Repair: Make the necessary repairs. Verify that
the repair eliminates the problem.
Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting.
STOP.
•
Not OK – A mechanical problem has not been
found with t
he fuel system.
Repair: If an electrical problem with the sensor
circuit is s
uspected, refer to the diagnostic
functional test Troubleshooting, “Engine Pressure
Sensor Open or Short Circuit - Test”.
STOP.
