Troubleshooting Section
B. Restart the engine and check for an active event
code.
Expected Result:
The event code is no longer active.
Results:
•
OK – The event code is no longer active. STOP.
•
Not OK – The event code is active.
Repair: There
may be an electrical problem with
the circuit for the fuel filter differential pressure
switch. Refer to Troubleshooting, “Fuel Filter
Differential
Pressure Switch Circuit - Test” for
diagnostic information.
STOP.

E539 High Int
ake Manifold Air
Temperature
SMCS Code: 10
50-038-TA
Conditions Which G enerate This Code:
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects
a problem with the engine’s intake manifold air
temperature
. Information on default settings and
ranges for this event can be found in troubleshooting
with an event code Troubleshooting, “Event Codes”.
System Response:
The e vent co
de will be logged.
Possible Performance Effect:
E539(1)
•
There are no
performance effects.
E539(2)
•
The engine power will be derated.
Troublesho
oting:
Intake manifold air temperature can be high for the
following r
easons:
•
High ambient air temperature
•
High inlet air restriction and/or high altitude
•
Restrictio
n in the exhaust system
•
Faulty inlet air temperature sensor and/or circuit
Perform th e following Inspections
A. Check for High Ambient Air Temperature
a. Determine if th
e ambient air temperature is
within the design specifications for the inlet
air system. When ambient temperatures
are too high fo
r the rating of the inlet air
system, there is not enough of a temperature
difference between the ambient air and inlet
air temperat
ures.
b. Determine the cause of the high inlet air
temperature
. Correct the situation, when
possible.
B. Check for Hig
h Inlet Air Restriction and/or
High Altitude Operation
When inlet ai
r pressure is low, the turbocharger
works harder in order to achieve the desired
inlet manifold pressure. This increases inlet air
temperatur
e.
a. Measure the inlet air pressure while the engine
is operatin
g under load. For specificdata,refer
to the Technical Marketing Information for the
engine.
b. Check for plugged air filters. Check for
obstructions to the air inlet. A restriction of
the air tha
t enters the engine can cause
high cylinder temperatures. High cylinder
temperatures cause higher than normal
temperatu
res in the cooling system.
c. Replace the air filters and/or remove the
obstruct
ion from the air inlet.
d. Consider high altitude operation. The cooling
capabili
ty of the cooling system is reduced
at higher altitudes. A pressurized cooling
system that has been designed for the higher
altitud
es must be used. Ensure that the engine
is configured for high altitude operation.
C. Check fo
r Exhaust System Restriction
Check for a restriction in the exhaust system.
Arestri
ction of the air that is coming out of the
engine can cause high cylinder temperatures.
Expecte
dResult:
A problem has been found in the inlet air system
and/or t
he related engine systems.
Results:
•
OK – A thorough inspection revealed a problem.
