Diagnostic Tests

Cat ET diagnostic tests are listed below.

ARD Fuel Line Purge Test

This is a diagnostic test to initiate an ARD fuel system air purge sequence to remove any air trapped in the system after assembly or repair/service in the field that can introduce air into the system.

The test allows a quantity of fuel to flow through the ARD fuel supply lines by enabling the electric priming/ARD fuel pump, and activating the pilot and main fuel valves until it senses that there is consistent and adequate fuel pressure on the main and pilot fuel control pressure signals.

Injector Solenoid Test

Purpose

The purpose of the injector solenoid test is to diagnose injector wiring and injector solenoid functionality.

Cat ET Location

  1. Connect to Cat ET.

  2. Select the Diagnostics tab.

  3. Select the Diagnostic Tests tab.


    Illustration 7g03146818

  4. Select the Injector Solenoid Test tab.

Test Operation

This test identifies an open circuit or a short circuit in the circuit for the injector solenoids. The test activates the injector solenoids one at a time while the engine is not running. A good solenoid will create an audible click when the solenoid is activated. Cat ET indicates the status of the solenoid as "OK", "Open", or "Short".

Cylinder Cutout Test

Purpose

The cylinder cutout test allows one cylinder or multiple cylinders to be cut out. The cylinder cutout test is useful when troubleshooting poor engine performance or a suspected injector failure

Cat ET Location

  1. Connect to Cat ET.

  2. Select the Diagnostics tab.

  3. Select the Diagnostic Tests tab.

  4. Select the Cylinder Cutout Test tab.

Test Operation

The cylinder cutout test disables the injector by not providing the injector pulse to the solenoid. The cylinder cutout test can be performed on one injector or multiple injectors at once.

Wiggle Test

Purpose

The purpose of the Wiggle Test is to detect intermittent electrical faults in electronic control systems. The Wiggle Test function allows the user to determine if there is an intermittent wiring problem. The test will indicate (by changing the value reading) which parameter moved beyond a predetermined range while wiggling the wiring harness, sensor, or connector.

Cat ET Location

  1. Connect to Cat ET.

  2. Select the Diagnostics tab.

  3. Select the Diagnostic Tests tab.


    Illustration 8g03146838

  4. Select the Wiggle Test tab.

Test Operation

This test requires that the engine is OFF and the key switch is in the ON position (or ECM energized and 0 engine speed). If the engine is started with the wiggle test active, the wiggle test will abort.

The Wiggle Test will reduce all ECM requirements to trip fault codes, making the diagnostics sensitive. Under normal operation some fault codes need multiple occurrences before the code will log. But during this test the fault codes will trip the first time.

The mechanic wiggles and shakes the wiring to see if codes go active. An audible alarm is also activated if the ECM sees any parameter change state electrically. Once the test has ended, the ECM returns to normal diagnostic state.

Fuel Rail Pump Solenoid Test

Purpose

The high-pressure fuel pump contains two assemblies for pressurizing fuel. Each assembly contains a solenoid. This test checks each solenoid to make sure that the solenoids are working properly.

Cat ET Location

  1. Connect to Cat ET.

  2. Select the Diagnostics tab.

  3. Select the Diagnostic Tests tab.


    Illustration 9g03146848

  4. Select the Fuel Rail Pump Solenoid Test tab.

Test Operation

During the Fuel Rail Pump Solenoid Test, the ECM pulses 105-volt to each solenoid. The pulses are sent at the proper time and for the correct duration for a given engine load and speed. The ECM monitors the current flow through the circuit for each solenoid. If the current flow is too high or too low, the ECM activates one of the following diagnostic codes:

  • 1779-5 Fuel Rail Pump #1 Output Current Below Normal

  • 1779-6 Fuel Rail Pump #1 Output Current Above Normal

  • 1780-5 Fuel Rail Pump #2 Output Current Below Normal

  • 1780-6 Fuel Rail Pump #2 Output Current Above Normal

Fuel System Verification Test

Purpose

The Fuel System Verification Test compensates for wear of the internal components of each injector over a time. Internal component wear contributes to lower volumes of fuel being delivered into the cylinder. Injector wear also increases the amount of leakage past each injector back to the fuel tank. This test evaluates the health of each injector.

Cat ET Location

  1. Connect to Cat ET.

  2. Select the Diagnostics tab.

  3. Select the Diagnostic Tests tab.


    Illustration 10g03146891

  4. Select the Fuel System Verification Test tab.

Test Operation

The engine ECM determines whether the injector is delivering the correct volume of fuel into the cylinder. Also the engine ECM determines if the injector is delivering a low volume of fuel into the cylinder based on Valve Closing Time. Valve Closing Time is the difference between the time the engine ECM stops sending current to the injector solenoid and the time the valve takes to return to the valve seat. When the test is performed, Cat ET indicates the status of each injector as "Success" or "Failed".

Note: Perform the Fuel System Verification Test after an injector is replaced. Also perform when a -2 or -7 code is active.

ARD Ignition Test

Purpose

The ARD ignition test is used when completing maintenance to the ARD system, or for diagnosing a failed ignition event, or for loss of combustion.

Cat ET Location

  1. Connect to Cat ET.

  2. Select the Diagnostics tab.

  3. Select the Diagnostic Tests tab.

  4. Select the ARD Ignition Test tab.

Test Operation

The technician can initiate an ARD Ignition Test below 80 percent soot level. The test is a shortened regeneration (approx. 4 minutes). The test checks all the components of ARD system. The ARD ignition test checks the functionality of the system to verify that ignition has occurred and combustion is maintained. The ARD Ignition test also actuates the Main Fuel Solenoid (If Equipped).

Fuel System Functional Test

Purpose

The Fuel System Functional Test contains four separate tests that evaluate various aspects of the common rail fuel system. The test is a self-guided test that will advance to the next test in the series if the current test passes. If a test in series fails, the test will abort.

Cat ET Location

  1. Connect to Cat ET.

  2. Select the Diagnostics tab.

  3. Select the Diagnostic Tests tab.


    Illustration 12g03147340

  4. Select the Fuel System Functional Test tab.

Test Operation

  • The Fuel Pump Gear Installation Test evaluates if the high-pressure fuel pump was installed correctly.

  • The Fuel Rail Low Pressure Test checks for leaks at low rail pressure. The test momentarily cuts out pumping and injection and measures the resulting rail pressure drop. The test then calculates the fuel quantity leaving the rail and compares to the expected results.

  • The Fuel Rail High Pressure Test checks for fuel leaks at high rail pressure. The test momentarily cuts out pumping and injection and measures the resulting rail pressure drop. The test then calculates the fuel quantity leaving the rail and compares to the expected results.

  • The Fuel Pump Flow Pump Test assesses adequate fuel pump flow. The test measures rail pressure response during a single pump event while fuel injection is disabled.

Possible Test Results

  • Fuel Pump Not Timed Correctly

  • Fuel Pump Flow Too Low

  • Fuel Rail High Pressure Decay Too High

  • Fuel Rail Low Pressure Decay Too High

Injector Fuel Delivery Test

EGR System Test

Purpose

Method to determine the EGR System health and determine if the EGR system is functioning properly. The test will exercise the EGR valve, and check for exhaust gas flow.

Cat ET Location

  1. Connect to Cat ET.

  2. Select the Diagnostics tab.

  3. Select the Diagnostic Tests tab.


    Illustration 14g03137051

  4. Select the EGR System Test tab.

Test Operation

The test is conducted with the engine running at a constant speed and load with machine/vehicle speed zero.

There are two phases to the test:

  • EGR Response Test: Known conditions are established for the engine. The EGR valve is commanded from open to closed. The response is checked for the EGR Delta Pressure Sensor, EGR Absolute Pressure Sensor, and fuel quantity. Each input has a unique response time, which will be compared to a threshold. The commanded EGR valve positions are held for a fixed amount of time to allow the inputs to stabilize. This procedure is repeated several times to increase accuracy and repeatability.

  • EGR Valve Sweep: Known conditions will be established for the engine. The EGR valve is swept from open to closed repeatedly to check for satisfactory response of the EGR flow.

ARD Air System Service Test

Purpose

The purpose of the ARD air system service test is to determine if the ARD air valve is controlling the airflow as commanded by the controller. This test will determine if the ARD air valve is functioning properly.

Cat ET Location

  1. Connect to Cat ET.

  2. Select the Diagnostics tab.

  3. Select the Diagnostic Tests tab.


    Illustration 15g03137054

  4. Select the ARD Air System Service Test tab.

Test Operation

The ARD air valve is cycled while the ECM monitors boost and aftertreatment secondary air pressure. The ECM looks for a specific amount of drop in boost and aftertreatment secondary air pressure when the valve is actuated. The values must be higher than the threshold in order to pass the test.

ARD Nozzle Heater Circuit Test

Purpose

The ARD Nozzle Heater Circuit Test allows the technician to verify that the heated nozzle and nozzle circuit are functioning properly.

Cat ET Location

  1. Connect to Cat ET.

  2. Select the Diagnostics tab.

  3. Select the Diagnostics Tests tab.

  4. Select the ARD Nozzle Heater Circuit Test tab.

Test Operation

The test cycles the ARD fuel nozzle heater on for 3 minutes, or until the test is aborted by the technician. The 3 minutes will give the technician time to perform an electrical check on the heater. Perform the electrical test by hooking a current probe around the heater wire to verify that the heater is getting the proper current. Engine speed must be present while this test is running to allow coolant to circulate through the ARD head. Once the current has been measured, the test can be aborted.

Calibrations

Cat ET calibrations are listed below.

Injector Trim Calibration

Purpose

Injector trim files calibrate each injector. The injectors are calibrated so the injectors will deliver a precise amount of fuel at the exact time needed.

Cat ET Location

  1. Connect to Cat ET.

  2. Select the Service tab.

  3. Select the Calibrations tab.

  4. Select the Injector Trim Calibration tab.

Calibration Operation

AVSpare tests each injector to verify the accuracy of the injector duration and timing. If the injectors do not pass, the injectors are not used. If the injectors do pass, trim files are created and the injectors are installed. The trim file adjusts the duration and timing of each injector, so the injectors all function the same. When new injectors are installed, the technician records the serial numbers of each injector and searches for the injectors in SIS Web. The trim files can be downloaded and stored on a pc. The technician loads the trim file for each injector into the ECM.

In Illustration 16 you can see each injector that falls in the box is a good injector that passed the tests.



Illustration 16g02157706

In Illustration 17 you can see that the trim files have been applied. The trim files correct the injectors back to nominal so the injectors all inject the same amount at the same time.



Illustration 17g02157717

Note: If the injectors fall outside of the main window, the injectors are scrapped.

Service Procedures

Cat ET service procedures are listed below.

Dyno Mode

Purpose

Dyno Mode is used to run an engine on a dyno without derates or diagnostic trouble codes tripping from missing machine components. Normally, while in chassis an ECM is looking for inputs from various machine components, like the transmission ECM or body ECM. Dyno Mode does not require the CEM to be installed. If the ECM does not see the inputs, the ECM assumes that something is wrong and sets a diagnostic trouble code.

Column Headings

  1. (Column 1) Aftertreatment Regeneration Speed Type

    The regeneration was low speed (stationary) or high speed (working).

  2. (Column 2) Aftertreatment Regeneration Trigger Type

    What triggered the regeneration.

    Service - Triggered through the ET service tool

    Soot - Triggered by the ECM soot calculation

    Pressure - Triggered by the DPF differential pressure sensor

    Time - Triggered because a specified amount of time has elapsed since a complete regeneration occurred

  3. (Column 3) ARD Auto Regeneration Enable Status

    What the ECM configuration file was programmed to at the time of the regeneration.

    Enabled - All regeneration types are allowed

    Automatic Low Speed Regeneration Only - Stationary or forced regenerations are the only regeneration types allowed

    Disabled - Regeneration is disabled through Cat ET

  4. (Column 4) Regeneration Start Time

    Displays the date and time the regeneration occurred.

  5. (Column 5) Regeneration Trigger Service Hours

    Machine hour meter reading at the start of the regeneration.

  6. (Column 6) Application Regeneration Readiness Status

    Status values 1 through 3 are indicative of a high speed regeneration. Status values 4 and above are indicative of a low speed regeneration.

    Note: Industrial Engines will only show a status value of a 2 or a 5 in this column. Status value 5 means that low speed or high speed regenerations are allowed. Status value 2 means that only high speed regenerations are allowed.

  7. (Column 7) Aftertreatment Regeneration Trigger Percent Soot

    The percent of soot when the regeneration was triggered.

  8. (Column 8) Regeneration End Time

    The date and time the regeneration completed.

  9. (Column 9) Regeneration Completion Service Hours

    The machine hour reading when the regeneration stopped. The regeneration could stop when the regeneration was successfully completed or when the regeneration was stopped by the operator.

  10. (Column 10) Aftertreatment Regeneration End Percent Soot

    The percent of soot when the regeneration completed.

  11. (Column 11) Aftertreatment Regeneration End Status

    What stopped the regeneration.

    Unsuccessful - The regeneration did not complete or stop normally

    Complete - Regen completed

    Work - Machine went back to work

    Off - Machine was turned off

    Disabled - Operator disabled the regeneration

This screen is used to illustrate load percentage at the current engine speed. This screen can be helpful in understanding how the engine is being used. The screen can also be used for comparison between similar machines and/or operators.


Illustration 56g03137080
This histogram is populated when the engine system has calculated a condition in which high exhaust temperatures are present. A fault code will not be logged when the system calculates a high exhaust temperature condition, but will activate a derate to the engine in order to protect the engine system. This is normal under most circumstances and no additional troubleshooting is necessary. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Exhaust Temperature is High" for additional information.


Illustration 57g03137079
There are certain engine conditions that put the engine in danger of turbocharger overspeed. The engines are calibrated and certified up to a certain altitude and ambient temperature limit. If the engine is operated outside this limit, the engine is more likely to experience overspeed of the turbo. In other words, the turbo has to work harder to maintain the desired boost pressure. This is normal under most circumstances and no additional troubleshooting is necessary.
