Troubleshooting Section
C. The inlet screen of the oil suction tube for the
engine oil pump
can have a restriction. This
restriction will cause cavitation and a loss of
engine oil pressure. Check the inlet screen on
the oil pickup
tube and remove any material that
may be restricting engine oil flow. Low engine oil

tube that is d
rawing in air. Check the joints of the
oil pickup tube for cracks or a damaged O-ring
seal.
D. If the engine oil bypass valves are held in the open
position, a reduction in the oil pressure can be the
result. Thi
s may be due to debris in the engine
oil. If the engine oil bypass valves are stuck in
the open position, remove each engine oil bypass
valve and cl
ean each bypass valve in order to
correct this problem. You must also clean each
bypass valve bore.
E. Engine oil that is contaminated with fuel or coolant
will cause low engine oil pressure. High engine
oil level i
n the crankcase can be an indication of
contamination.
F. Excessive
clearance at engine bearings will
cause low engine oil pressure. Check the engine
components for excessive bearing clearance.
G. An oil line that is open, broken, or disconnected
will cause low engine oil pressure.
Expected Result:
An inspec
tion of the engine’s lubrication system
indicated a problem.
Results:
•
OK – There is a problem in the engine’s lubrication
system.
Repair: Repair the problem. Ensure that the repair
elimina
tes the problem.
STOP.

E361 High Engine Coolant
Tempera
ture
SMCS Code: 1395-038-TA
Conditions Which G enerate This Code:
The Elec
tronic Control Module (ECM) detects a high
engine coolant temperature. Information on default
settings and ranges for this event code can be found
in Troub
leshooting, “Event Codes”.
System Response:
The event code is logged.
Possible Perfo
rmance Effect:
E361(1)
•
There are no performance effects.
E361(2)
•
The engine power is derated.
E361(3)
•
The engine is s
hut down.
Note: Certain applications may only derate the
engine.
Tr oubleshooting:
There may be a problem with the engine’s cooling
system.
Check the Engine
A. Check the cool
ing system for problems.
a. Verify that the cooling system is filled with
coolant to the
proper level. If the coolant level is
too low, air may be allowed to enter the cooling
system. Air in the cooling system will cause
cavitation a
nd a reduction in coolant flow.
b. Check the quality of the coolant. Refer to the
Operation an
d Maintenance Manual for coolant
recommendations.
c. Check for ai
r in the cooling system. Air can be
introduced into the cooling system in different
ways.
The most common cause of air in the
cooling system is the improper filling of the
cooling sys
tem. Refer to the Operation and
Maintenance Manual for the proper filling
procedure for your engine.
The next likely cause is combustion gas
leakage into the cooling system. Combustion
gas can be i
ntroduced into the cooling system
through damaged liner seals, cracks in the
liners, a damaged cylinder head, or a damaged
cylinder
head gasket.
d. Check the cooling system hoses and clamps
