Ether Control System
SMCS Code: 1456
NOTICE
Excessive ether (starting fluid) can cause piston and
ring damage. Use ether for cold weather starting pur-
poses only.
Ether can be automatically injected during cranking
by the Electronic Control Module (ECM). A switch
input allows the operator to manually inject ether.
The ECM automatically injects ether into the air inlet
manifold when the following conditions are met:

The ether control parameter is programmed to


ON.

The engine rpm is between 0 and 1200 rpm.

The jacket water coolant temperature or the inlet


manifold temperature sensor is below the set point.
The duration of ether injection varies linearly with the
jacket water coolant temperature.
For troubleshooting, an override is available for the
technician to actuate the ether system. By using
Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET), ether injection
can be started and stopped. The ether solenoid will
remain energized until any of the following conditions
occur:

Engine speed appears.

The override for the service tool is used to


terminate injection.

The technician exits the override feature of the


service tool.
i02566139
Cold Cylinder Cutout
SMCS Code: 1901
During a cold start or extended periods at low idle,
the engine ECM will automatically turn off the left
bank of cylinders. This strategy improves engine
starting. This strategy reduces the following: white
smoke, the use of ether injection, and warm-up time.
Electronic Control System
i02344775

Components
SMCS Code: 1901
The electronic control system includes the following
major components:

Temperature sensors

Pressure sensors

Electronic control module (ECM)

Wiring harness

Engine speed/timing sensor

Flash file (software)


The electronic control system is integrally designed
into the engine fuel system in order to electronically
control the fuel delivery and the injection timing.
The ECM provides increased control of timing in
comparison to the conventional mechanical engine.
Injection timing is achieved by precise control of the
injector firing time. The engine speed is controlled
by adjusting the firing duration. The ECM energizes
the fuel injector solenoids in order to start injection
of fuel. Refer to System Operations, Fuel System
Operation for a complete explanation of the fuel
injection process.
i02302331
Cat Data Link
SMCS Code: 1901
The engine incorporates a Cat Data Link. The data
link is used to communicate with other devices that
are based on a microprocessor.
RENR9338 5
Systems Operation Section
The data link can reduce the duplication of sensors
within the system by allowing controls to share
information. The data link is used to communicate
information about the engine to other electronic
control systems. The data link is also used to
interface with the electronic service tool.
The information about the engine that is monitored
and available on the data link includes the following
items (typical example):

Air filter restriction

Atmospheric pressure

Boost pressure

Cold mode status

Coolant temperature

Crankcase pressure

Diagnostic messages

Supply voltage for the Electronic Control Module


(ECM)

Engine identification

Engine speed (actual rpm)

Engine speed (desired rpm)

Engine systems status

Engine warning system

Exhaust temperature

Filtered oil pressure

Fuel pressure

Maximum air filter restriction

Oil pressure

Percent throttle position

Rated fuel limit

Timing cal enable/status

Total fuel consumption

Turbocharger inlet pressure

Turbocharger outlet pressure


The electronic service tool plugs into the connector
for the data link in order to communicate with the
ECM. The communication adapter is installed in
series between the electronic service tool and the
data link connector. The communication adapter
converts data that is in the language from the data
link. This language is converted to a language that
is used by the electronic service tool. The data link
connector is located on the engine harness. The
electronic service tool can also be used to display the
values of all the information for monitoring of engine
operation in real time.
i01941448
CAN Data Link
SMCS Code: 1901
The CAN data link is used to communicate engine
information and diagnostic information from the
Electronic Control Module (ECM). The CAN data link
is used for communication between the following
modules: engines ECM, customer devices, and
various display modules.

The electronic control system is integrally designed
into the engines fuel system and the engines air
inlet and exhaust system in order to electronically
control the fuel delivery and the injection timing. The
electronic control system provides increased timing
control and fuel air ratio control in comparison to
conventional mechanical engines. Injection timing
is achieved by precisely controlling the injector
firing time. Engine rpm is controlled by adjusting the
injection duration. The Electronic Control Module
(ECM) energizes the unit injector solenoids in
order to start the injection of fuel. Also, the ECM
de-energizes the unit injector solenoids in order to
stop the injection of fuel.
The ECM has a 70 pin connector and a 120 pin
connector.
The flash file is used by the ECM to store all the rated
information for a particular application. The flash file
cannot be replaced physically. The flash file must be
flash programmed with a PC.
The engine uses the following three types of
electronic components:

Input

Control

Output
An input component sends an electrical signal to the
ECM. The signal varies in one of the following ways:

Voltage

Frequency

Pulse width
The variation of the signal is in response to a
change in some specific part of the system. A
specific example of an input component is the engine
speed-timing sensor. The ECM interprets the signal
from the input component as information about the
condition, environment, or operation of the engine.
A control component receives the input signals from
the input components. Electronic circuits inside the
control component evaluate the signals from the
input components. These electronic circuits also
supply electrical energy to the output components of
the system. The electrical energy that is supplied to
the output components is based on predetermined
combinations of input signal values.
An output component is operated by a control
module. The output component receives electrical
energy from the control group. The output component
uses that electrical energy in one of two ways. The
output component can use that electrical energy in
order to perform work. The output component can use
that electrical energy in order to provide information.
As an example, a moving solenoid plunger will
perform work. By performing work, the component
has functioned in order to regulate the engine.
As an example, an alarm will provide information to
the operator of the engine.
These electronic components provide the ability
to electronically control the engine operation.
Engines with electronic controls offer the following
advantages:

Improvement in performance

Improvement in fuel consumption

Reduction in emissions levels

100 Hour Free Configuration
on Engine Start-up
SMCS Code: 1901
The 100 hour free configuration on engine start-up
will provide the ability to easily change any
configuration or any monitoring system parameter
via the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) without
a password. This feature is active for the first 100
hours of engine operation.
The 100 hour free configuration on engine
start-up provides the ability to easily tailor the
programmable set points to the requirements of the
installation. The exceptions include the fuel limit, the
personality module mismatch, the Electronic Control
Module (ECM) hour adjustment, and the total fuel
consumption number.
Engine Monitoring System
i01938742
Engine Monitoring System
SMCS Code: 1900; 1901
A comprehensive, programmable engine monitoring
system is provided. The Electronic Control Module
(ECM) can monitor parameters. The ECM can initiate
an action if a specific operating parameter extends
beyond the acceptable range. There are three
possible actions by the ECM which are available:
WARNING, DERATE, and SHUTDOWN.
However, not all of the actions are available for
certain parameters.
The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) can be
used in order to select the desired action by the
ECM. Cat ET can be used to program the level for
monitoring and the delay times for each action.
Refer to Troubleshooting for detailed programming
instructions.
i02388138
Histogramming
SMCS Code: 1901
Histogram data can be displayed via the Caterpillar
Electronic Technician (ET) in order to show the
trends of performance for the engine. This is used to
improve the overall performance of the engine.
Historical performance data is stored in a format
that can be used to construct histograms via the Cat
ET. Data is available for speed, load, and exhaust
temperature.
i01970428
Fuel Rate Scaling (Fuel
Correction Factor)
SMCS Code: 1901
When the engine is shipped from the factory,
an estimate of the engines fuel consumption is
programmed into the Electronic Control Module
(ECM). The fuel consumption estimate is based
upon the engines performance specifications. The
actual fuel consumption can be determined with a
precision fuel flow meter. Customers are likely to
find a slight difference between the programmed
fuel consumption and the actual fuel consumption.
The customer can use the Caterpillar Electronic
Technician (ET) to program the ECM for the actual
fuel consumption. No password is required in order
to change this configuration parameter.
In order to program the ECM for the actual fuel
consumption, change the Fuel Correction Factor
(FCF) that is already programmed into the ECM.
The FCF can be programmed in increments of 0.5
percent between 25 percent.
i02217900
ECM Total Fuel Consumption
Adjustment
SMCS Code: 1901
The feature provides a method of adjusting the
total fuel consumption by incrementing the total
fuel consumption number that is recorded in the
Electronic Control Module (ECM). The adjustment is
made with the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET).
The adjustment for the total fuel consumption will
allow a new replacement ECM to be programmed in
order to display the correct total fuel consumption
number for that particular engine. The adjustment
only allows incremental changes to be made. The
change requires a factory password.

method of adjusting the hour meter of the Electronic
Control Module (ECM). The adjustment is made with
the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET). The tool
increments the number of hours that are recorded
in the ECM.
The adjustment for the hour increment will allow a
new replacement ECM to be programmed in order
to display the correct number of operating hours for
that particular engine. The adjustment only allows

Fuel System Operation
SMCS Code: 1250
g01295023
Illustration 3
The fuel system is a common rail design. The fuel
system consists of the following components: primary
fuel filter/water separator, advanced efficiency
secondary fuel filter, high pressure injection pump,
high pressure lines and rails, low pressure lines,
optional fuel cooler, and .
The fuel flows from the fuel tank through the primary
fuel filter/water separator to the fuel transfer pump.
The fuel transfer pump will pressurize the fuel to a
pressure of approximately 650 kPa (95 psi). The
fuel then flows through the secondary fuel filters.
From the secondary filters, the fuel flows to the high
pressure pump.
10 RENR9338
Systems Operation Section
The high pressure pump will pressurize the fuel
to approximately 180,000 kPa (26,000 psi). The
high pressure pump utilizes flexible fuel delivery or
multiple injections for optimal combustion. The fuel
then flows through the high pressure rails to the
injectors. Any excess fuel drains from the injectors
and returns to the fuel tank. An optional fuel cooler
could be used. The fuel cooler depends on the
application of the engine.
The electric priming pump pulls fuel from the tank.
The electric priming pump purges the air out of the
fuel system. The electric priming pump is used to fill
new fuel filters.
A signal is generated by the crankshaft position
sensor. Other inputs and this data allows the ECM
to correctly send a signal to the injector solenoids.
The fuel injectors solenoid is energized in order to
begin fuel injection. The fuel injectors solenoid is
de-energized in order to end fuel injection. Refer to
Systems Operation, Fuel Injector.
i02568705
Fuel Injector
SMCS Code: 1290
g01286946
Illustration 4
The start of fuel injection is determined when the
fuel injector is opened or closed by the Electronic
Control Module (ECM) via the injector solenoid. The
quantity of fuel that is injected is determined when
the solenoid valve is opened or closed.
During the fuel injection stroke, high pressure fuel
from the fuel rail flows into the injector and to the fuel
injector nozzle. The nozzle has a needle valve that is
spring loaded. Fuel flows through the fuel passage
around the needle valve to the valve chamber. In the
valve chamber, the fuel pressure lifts the needle valve
away from the seat. The fuel can now flow through
the orifices in the tip into the combustion chamber.
RENR9338 11
Systems Operation Section
The bottom of the fuel injector protrudes for a
short distance below the cylinder head into the
combustion chamber. The fuel injector tip has several
small orifices that are equally spaced around the
outside diameter. These orifices spray fuel into the
combustion chamber.
Air Inlet and Exhaust
System
i02568755
Air Inlet and Exhaust System
Operation
SMCS Code: 1050
The components of the air inlet and exhaust system
control the quality and the amount of air that is
available for combustion. There are separate
turbochargers and exhaust manifolds on each side of
the engine. A common aftercooler is located between
the cylinder heads in the center of the engine. The
inlet manifold is a series of elbows that connect the
aftercooler chamber to the inlet ports (passages) of
the cylinder heads. There is one camshaft in each
side of the block. The two camshafts control the
movement of the valve system components.

(5) Air inlet
(6) Air line
(7) Aftercooler
Clean inlet air from the air cleaners is pulled through
the air inlet (5) into the turbocharger compressor by
the turbocharger compressor wheel (4). The rotation
of the turbocharger compressor wheel (4) causes
the air to compress. The rotation of the turbocharger
compressor wheel then forces the air through a
tube to aftercooler (7). The aftercooler lowers the
temperature of the compressed air before the air gets
into the inlet chambers in each cylinder head. This
cooled and compressed air fills the inlet chambers in
the cylinder heads. Air flow from the inlet chamber
into the cylinder heads is controlled by the inlet
valves.
There are two inlet valves and two exhaust valves
for each cylinder. Refer to Systems Operation,
Valve Mechanism. The inlet valves open when the
piston moves down on the inlet stroke. The cooled,
compressed air is pulled into the cylinder from the
inlet chamber.
The inlet valves close and the piston starts to move
up on the compression stroke. When the piston
is near the top of the compression stroke, fuel is
injected into the cylinder. The fuel mixes with the air
and combustion starts. The force of the combustion
pushes the piston downward on the power stroke.
When the piston moves upward again, the piston is
on the exhaust stroke. The exhaust valves open and
the exhaust gases are pushed through the exhaust
port into exhaust manifold (1). After the piston makes
the exhaust stroke, the exhaust valves close and the
cycle starts again.
Exhaust gases from exhaust manifold (1) go into the
turbine side of the turbocharger. The exhaust gases
cause turbine wheel (3) to turn. The turbine wheel is
connected to the shaft that drives the turbocharger
compressor wheel (3). The exhaust gases exit
through the exhaust outlet (2).

Aftercooler
SMCS Code: 1063
g01287217
Illustration 6
The aftercooler is located at the rear of the engine.
The aftercooler has a core assembly that is charged
by the coolant. Coolant from the water pump flows
through a pipe into the aftercooler. Coolant then flows
through the core assembly. Coolant flows back out
the aftercooler through a different pipe.
Inlet air fromthe compressor side of the turbochargers
flows into the aftercooler through pipes. The air then
passes through the fins of the core assembly which
lowers the temperature. The cooler air flows out of
the bottom of the aftercooler and into the air chamber.
The air flows through the elbows to the inlet ports in
the cylinder heads.
i02569614
Valve Mechanism
SMCS Code: 1102
The valve system components control the flow of the
inlet air and the exhaust gases into the cylinders and
out of the cylinders during engine operation.
The crankshaft gear drives the camshaft gear through
the idler gear. The camshaft must be timed to the
crankshaft in order to get the correct relation between
the piston and the valve movement.
The camshaft has two lobes for each cylinder. One
lobe operates the inlet valves and the other lobe
operates the exhaust valves.

As the camshaft turns, the lobes on the camshaft
cause the lifters in lifter group (2) to move up and
down. This movement causes pushrods (3) to move
rocker arms (1). The movement of the rocker arms
cause bridges (6) to move downward. The bridges
open two valves simultaneously. The valves can be
either inlet valves or exhaust valves. There are two
inlet valves and two exhaust valves for each cylinder.
Valve springs (5) cause the valves to close when the
lifters move downward.
Rotocoils (4) cause the valves to turn while the
engine is running. The rotation of the valves keeps
the carbon deposits on the valves to a minimum
which gives the valves a longer service life.

The exhaust gases go into the exhaust inlet of the
turbine housing. The exhaust gases push the blades
of turbine wheel (8).
Clean air from the air cleaners is pulled through
the compressor housing air inlet by the rotation of
compressor wheel (4). The compressor wheel blades
compress the inlet air. This compression gives
the engine more power because the compression
allows the engine to burn additional fuel with greater
efficiency.
The maximum speed of the turbocharger is controlled
by the engines electronic control of fuel delivery.
When the engine is operating, the height above
sea level also controls the maximum speed of the
turbocharger.
Bearing (5) and bearing (7) in the turbocharger use
engine oil under pressure for lubrication. The oil is
sent through the oil inlet line to oil inlet port (6) at the
top. The oil then goes through passages in the center
section for lubrication of the bearings. The oil goes
out of oil outlet port (9) at the bottom. The oil then
goes back to the flywheel housing through oil drain
(3) in the support for the turbochargers.

Engine oil system
(1) Turbocharger oil supply
(2) Main oil gallery
(3) Engine oil filter housing
(4) Engine oil pressure control valve
(5) Engine oil pump
(6) Suction screen
This system uses an engine oil pump (5) with two
pump gears. The pump gears are driven by the front
gear train. Oil is pulled from the pan through suction
screen (6) and through the elbow by the engine oil
pump.
There is an engine oil pressure control valve (4)
mounted to the engine oil pump. The engine oil
pressure controls the pressure of the engine oil from
the engine oil pump. The engine oil pump can put too
much engine oil into the system. When there is too
much engine oil, the engine oil pressure goes up and
the relief valve opens. This allows the engine oil that
is not needed to go back to the engine oil pan.
The engine oil pump pushes the engine oil through
the engine oil coolers and through the engine oil
filters to main oil gallery (1). The engine oil coolers
lower the temperature of the engine oil before the
engine oil is sent to the filters.
Cartridge type filters are used. The filters are located
in an engine oil filter housing.
Clean engine oil from the filters flows through the
engine oil line and into the block through elbow (9).
Part of the engine oil flows up to the camshaft. The
remainder of the engine oil flows to main oil gallery
(2).
Main oil gallery (1) is connected to the camshaft
bearings by drilled holes. The engine oil flows around
each camshaft journal. The engine oil travels to the
cylinder head and through a separate passage from
the main gallery to each cylinder head. Passages
that travel to the lifter groups lubricate the valve
lifters. The oil travels through the pushrods in order
to lubricate the rocker arms and the rocker arm shaft.
Main oil gallery (1) is connected to the main bearings
by drilled holes. Drilled holes in the crankshaft
connect the main bearing oil supply to the rod
bearings. Engine oil from the rear of the main oil
gallery goes to the rear of right camshaft oil gallery
(5).

There is a piston cooling jet (7) below each piston.
Each piston cooling jet has two openings. One
opening is in the direction of a passage in the bottom
of the piston. This passage takes engine oil to a
manifold behind the ring band of the piston. A slot
(groove) is in the side of both piston pin bores in
order to connect with the manifold behind the ring
band. The other opening is in the direction of the
center of the piston. This helps cool the piston and
this lubricates the piston pin.

(9) Oil drain
Oil supply line (8) sends engine oil from the rear
adapter to the turbochargers. Oil drain (9) allows the
oil to drain through the turbocharger supports that
are bolted to the flywheel housing.
Engine oil is sent to the front gear group and the
rear gear group through drilled passages. The drilled
passages are in the front housing, the rear housing
and cylinder block faces. These passages are
connected to main oil gallery (2).
After the engine oil has finished lubricating, the
engine oil goes back to the engine oil pan.

Coolant flows to the jacket water pump through piping
that connects to the radiator or the heat exchanger .
The coolant is sent through the engine oil cooler. Part
of the coolant is sent to the aftercooler while most of
the coolant the sent through the engine block.
The coolant that is sent to the aftercooler goes
through the aftercooler core. The coolant returns
through piping at the front of the cylinder block. The
passage is near the center of the vee at the front
of the block. The coolant that is sent to the engine
oil cooler goes through the engine oil cooler. The
coolant flows into the water jacket of the block at
the front of the engine. The coolant goes to both
sides of the block through distribution manifolds. The
distribution manifolds are connected to the water
jacket of all the cylinders.
The coolant flows upward through the water jackets.
The coolant flows around the cylinder liners from
the bottom to the top. Near the top of the cylinder
liners, the water jacket is made smaller. This is the
area that has the hottest temperature. This smaller
area causes the coolant to flow faster for better liner
cooling. Coolant from the top of the liners flows into
the cylinder head which sends the coolant around the
parts that have the hottest temperature. Coolant flows
to the top of the cylinder head (one at each cylinder).
The coolant flows out of the cylinder head through
piping to the electronic water temperature regulator.
The electronic water temperature regulator is
controlled by an Electronic Control Module (ECM) for
the electronic water temperature regulator. Before
the electronic water temperature regulator opens,
cold coolant is sent through the bypass line back to
the inlet of the water pump. As the temperature of the
coolant increases, the regulators start to open. When
the regulators open the coolant flow in the bypass
line is then restricted. Coolant is sent through the
outlets to the radiator or the heat exchanger.

Coolant flows to the separate circuit water pump .
The coolant flows through an elbow that connects to
the coolant tank for the separate circuit . The coolant
flow is sent through the aftercooler.
Coolant flows through the aftercooler and back to
a thermostatic valve. If the thermostatic valve is
closed, the cold coolant is sent back to the separate
circuit water pump. As the temperature of the coolant
increases, the regulators start to open. When the
regulators open the coolant flow in the bypass line is
restricted. The coolant is then sent through the outlet
to the radiator for the separate circuit cooling system.

SMCS Code: 1100; 1200
The cylinders in the left side of the block form a 60
degree angle with the cylinders in the right side. The
main bearing caps are fastened to the cylinder block
with four bolts per cap.
The cylinder liners can be removed for replacement.
The top surface of the cylinder block is the seat for
the cylinder liner flange. Engine coolant flows around
the cylinder liners in order to keep the cylinder liners
cool. Three O-ring seals around the middle of the
cylinder liner make a seal between the cylinder liner
and the cylinder block. A filler band goes under the
cylinder liner flange. This makes a seal between the
top of the cylinder liner and the cylinder block.
The engine has a separate cylinder head for each
cylinder. Two inlet valves and two exhaust valves,
which are controlled by a pushrod valve system,
are used for each cylinder. Valve guides without
shoulders are pressed into the cylinder heads.
Coolant goes out of the cylinder block through the
spacer plate and into the cylinder head through eight
openings in each cylinder head face. Water seals are
used in each opening to prevent coolant leakage.
Gaskets seal the engine oil drain line between the
cylinder head, the spacer plate, and the cylinder
block.
Camshaft covers allow access to the camshaft and
to the valve lifters. Crankcase covers allow access to
the crankshaft connecting rods, to the main bearings,
and to the piston cooling jets. When the covers are
removed, all the openings can be used for inspection
and for service.

Piston assembly
The piston is a one-piece piston that is made of
forged steel. A large circumferential slot separates
the crown and the skirt. The crown and the skirt
remain attached by the strut for the pin bore. The
crown carries all three piston rings. Oil from the piston
cooling jets flows through a chamber which is located
directly behind the rings. The oil cools the piston
which improves the life of the rings. The pistons have
three rings which include two compression rings and
one oil ring. All the rings are located above the piston
pin bore. Oil returns to the crankcase through holes
in the oil ring groove.

Connecting rod
The connecting rod has a taper on the pin bore end.
This taper gives the rod and the piston more strength
in the areas with the most load. Six bolts, which are
set at a small angle, hold the rod cap to the rod. This
design keeps the rod width to a minimum, so that a
larger rod bearing can be used and the rod can still
be removed through the liner.
i02582926
Crankshaft
SMCS Code: 1202
g01293802
Illustration 20
The crankshaft changes the combustion forces in
the cylinder into usable rotating torque. A vibration
damper is used at the front of the crankshaft in order
to reduce torsional vibrations (twist) that can cause
damage to the engine.
The crankshaft drives a group of gears on the front
and on the rear of the engine. The gear group on
the front of the engine drives the oil pump, the water
pumps, the fuel pump, and the accessory drives.
The rear gear group drives the camshafts and the
accessory drives.
Seals and wear sleeves are used at both ends of the
crankshaft. The C175-16 crankshaft is held in place
by nine main bearings. A thrust plate at either side of
the rear main bearing controls the end play of the
crankshaft.

(3) Control valve
(4) Hose
(5) Tube
(6) Starting motor solenoid
When the main supply of pressurized air is ON,
pressurized air is provided to control valve (1). The
main supply of pressurized air is blocked by the
control valve. The control valve allows some control
air pressure to flow through the control valve to
starting motor solenoid (6).
When the normally closed starting motor solenoid
is activated for start-up, the solenoid opens the
connected valve. The valve allows the control air
pressure to flow behind the piston inside the air
starting motor.
The control air pressure pushes the piston. The
piston compresses a piston spring and the piston
moves the drive shaft for the pinion outward in order
to engage the pinion with the flywheel ring gear. The
starting motor does not crank the engine yet.
RENR9338 23
Systems Operation Section
After the pinion is engaged with the flywheel ring
gear, a port in the starting motor is opened in order to
allow the control air pressure to flow through tube (4)
to the top of control valve (3). The control valve opens
in order to allow the main supply of pressurized air to
flow through the starting motors air inlet (2).
The pressurized air causes the vanes and the rotor
to rotate. The rotor uses the reduction gears to rotate
the drive shaft for the pinion and the pinion rotates
the flywheel in order to crank the engine.
When the engine starts to run, the flywheel will begin
to rotate faster than the pinion. The design of the
drive shaft for the pinion allows the pinion to move
away from the flywheel. This prevents damage to the
air starting motor, to the pinion, and to the flywheel
ring gear.
When the engine control senses the crank terminate
speed, starting motor solenoid (3) is de-energized.
The solenoid closes the attached valve and the
control air pressure is removed from piston (11). The
piston spring retracts the piston, the drive shaft, and
the pinion.
The retraction of the piston closes the passage for
the control air pressure to control valve (3). The
control valve closes in order to shut off the main
supply of pressurized air to the starting motor.
Electrical System
i01253714
Electrical System Operation
SMCS Code: 1400; 1450
The electrical system has two separate circuits.
The circuits are the charging circuit and the starting
circuit. Some of the electrical system components
are used in more than one circuit. The battery, the
circuit breaker, the cables, and the battery wires are
common in each of the circuits.
The charging circuit is in operation when the engine
is running. An alternator makes electricity for the
charging circuit. A voltage regulator in the circuit
controls the electrical output in order to keep the
battery at full charge.
The starting circuit is in operation only when the start
switch is activated.
i01566987
Grounding Practices
SMCS Code: 1400
Proper grounding is necessary for optimum engine
performance and reliability. Improper grounding will
result in uncontrolled electrical circuit paths and in
unreliable electrical circuit paths.
Uncontrolled electrical circuit paths can result in
damage to main bearings, to crankshaft bearing
journal surfaces, and to aluminum components.
Uncontrolled electrical circuit paths can also cause
electrical activity that may degrade the engine
electronics and communications.
Ensure that all grounds are secure and free of
corrosion.
The engine alternator must be grounded to the
negative - battery terminal with a wire that is
adequate to carry the full charging current of the
alternator.
For the starting motor, do not attach the battery
negative terminal to the engine block.
NOTICE
This engine is equipped with a 24 volt starting system.
Use only equal voltage for boost starting. The use of
a welder or higher voltage will damage the electrical
system.
Ground the engine block with a ground strap that is
furnished by the customer. Connect this ground strap
to the ground plane.
Use a separate ground strap to ground the negative
- battery terminal for the control system to the
ground plane.
Disconnect the power when you are working on the
engines electronics.
If rubber couplings are used to connect the steel
piping of the cooling system and the radiator,
the piping and the radiator can be electrically
isolated. Ensure that the piping and the radiator are
continuously grounded to the engine. Use ground
straps that bypass the rubber couplings.

NOTICE
Never operate the alternator without the battery in the
circuit. Making or breaking an alternator connection
with heavy load on the circuit can cause damage to
the regulator.

The alternator is driven by a belt from an auxiliary
drive at the front right corner of the engine. This
alternator is a three-phase, self-rectifying charging
unit, and the regulator is part of the alternator.
The voltage regulator is a solid-state, electronic
switch. The regulator turns on and the regulator turns
off many times in one second in order to control the
field current to the alternator. The output voltage from
the alternator will now supply the needs of the battery
and the other components in the electrical system.
No adjustment can be made in order to change the
rate of charge on these alternator regulators.
i02388664
Starting System
SMCS Code: 1450
Starting solenoid
A solenoid is an electromagnetic switch that does
two basic operations.

Close the high current starting motor circuit with a


low current start switch circuit.

Engage the starting motor pinion with the ring gear.


g00285112
Illustration 24
Typical solenoid
The solenoid has windings (one or two sets) around
a hollow cylinder. There is a spring-loaded plunger
inside the cylinder. The plunger can move forward
and backward. When the start switch is closed
and the electricity is sent through the windings, a
magnetic field is made. The magnetic field pulls the
plunger forward in the cylinder. This moves the shift
lever in order to engage the pinion drive gear with
the ring gear. The front end of the plunger makes
contact across the battery and the motor terminals of
the solenoid. The starting motor begins to turn the
flywheel of the engine.
When the start switch is opened, current no longer
flows through the windings. The spring pushes the
plunger back to the original position. The spring
simultaneously moves the pinion gear away from the
flywheel.
RENR9338 25
Systems Operation Section
When two sets of windings in the solenoid are used,
the windings are called the hold-in winding and the
pull-in winding. Both of the winding have the same
number of turns around the cylinder. However, the
pull-in winding uses a wire with a larger diameter in
order to produce a greater magnetic field. When the
start switch is closed, part of the current flows from
the battery through the hold-in windings. The rest
of the current flows through the pull-in windings to
the motor terminal. The current then goes through
the motor to the ground. When the solenoid is fully
activated, current is shut off through the pull-in
windings. Only the smaller hold-in windings are in
operation for the extended period of time. This period
of time is the amount of time that is needed for
the engine to start. The solenoid will now take less
current from the battery. The heat that is made by the
solenoid will be kept at an acceptable level.
Starting Motor
The starting motor is used to turn the engine flywheel
in order to get the engine running.
g01192489

Cross section of the starting motor (typical example)
(1) Field
(2) Solenoid
(3) Clutch
(4) Pinion
(5) Commutator
(6) Brush assembly
(7) Armature
The starting motor has a solenoid. When the start
switch is activated, electricity will flow through the
windings of the solenoid. The solenoid core will move
in order to push the starting motor pinion with a
mechanical linkage. This will engage with the ring
gear on the flywheel of the engine. The starting
motor pinion will engage with the ring gear before
the electric contacts in the solenoid close the circuit
between the battery and the starting motor. When
the circuit between the battery and the starting motor
is complete, the pinion will turn the engine flywheel.
A clutch gives protection to the starting motor. The
engine can not turn the starting motor too fast. When
the start switch is released, the starting motor pinion
will move away from the flywheel ring gear.
Starting Motor Protection
The starting motor is protected from damage in two
ways:

The starting motor is protected from engagement


with the engine when the starting motor is running.
The control feature will not allow the starting motor
to engage if the speed is above 0 rpm.

The starting motor is protected from continued


operation by holding the key in the start position
after the engine starts. This is accomplished by
disengaging the starting motor solenoid after
engine speed reaches 300 rpm.
i01259850
Circuit Breaker
SMCS Code: 1420
The circuit breaker is a switch that opens the battery
circuit if the current in the electrical system goes
higher than the rating of the circuit breaker.
A heat-activated metal disc with a contact point
completes the electric circuit through the circuit
breaker. If the current in the electrical system gets too
high the metal disc will get hot. This heat causes a
distortion of metal disc. The disc opens the contacts.
The disc breaks the circuit.
NOTICE
Find and correct the problem that causes the circuit
breaker to open. This will help prevent damage to the
circuit components from too much current.

Fuel System Inspection
SMCS Code: 1250-040
NOTICE
Ensure that all adjustments and repairs that are
carried out to the fuel system are performed by
authorised personnel that have the correct train-
ing.
Before begining ANY work on the fuel system, re-
fer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, Gen-
eral Hazard Information and High Pressure Fuel
Lines for safety information.
Refer to Systems Operation, Cleanliness of Fu-
el System Components for detailed information
on the standards of cleanliness that must be ob-
served during ALL work on the fuel system.
A problem with the components that supply fuel to
the engine can cause low fuel pressure. This can
decrease engine performance.
1. Check the fuel level in the fuel tank. Look at the
cap for the fuel tank. Make sure that the vent is
not filled with debris.
2. Check the fuel lines for fuel leakage. Be sure that
none of the fuel lines have a restriction or a faulty
bend.
3. Install new main fuel filters. Clean the primary fuel
filter.
4. Check for a low transfer pressure fuel supply.
Ensure that you are building a minimum of
250 kPa (36 psi) of fuel pressure as this is the
minimum required to open the inlet check valves
on the high pressure pump. If the fuel from the
tank is on, then remove the low pressure transfer
pump and verify that the drive shaft is not broken.
If the transfer pump is okay, then replace the low
pressure regulator.
5. Check to see if the fuel system is primed. If this
is first start after changing fuel filters and system
is dry, the fitting may need to be cracked at filter
housing base on the filtered fuel side while running
the engine priming pump to purge the air from the
system. It also may be necessary to crack the
outlet line from the monoblock to purge air as well.
6. Check for fuel leaks on the high pressure system.
If there is a leak large enough to cause inability
to build rail pressure, it will be visible through the
leak ports on the double wall fuel leak containment
system.
i02393248
Checking Engine Cylinders
SMCS Code: 1290-535
When the engine is under load, the temperature of
an exhaust manifold port can indicate the condition
of a fuel injector. Low temperature at an exhaust
manifold port is an indication of no fuel to the cylinder.
This can possibly indicate an injector with a defect
or a problem with the control system. An extra high
temperature at an exhaust manifold port can indicate
too much fuel to the cylinder. High temperatures may
also be caused by an injector with a defect.
Refer to Testing And Adjusting, Measuring Exhaust
Temperature for the procedure to check the exhaust
manifold port temperatures.
i02345078
Checking Engine Cylinders
with an Electronic Service Tool
SMCS Code: 1290-535
Refer to the Troubleshooting Manual for the tools
needed in order to check the engine cylinders.
The condition of individual cylinders may be checked
electronically. The cylinders may be checked by
cutting out the cylinders with an electronic service
tool. A weak cylinder or a cold cylinder may be found
in this manner.
1. Connect the electronic service tool and the
communication adapter to the data link connector.
2. Start the engine and set engine speed to low idle.
3. Select the Diagnostic Tests screen from the main
menu and then select 1-Cylinder Cutout.
RENR9338 27
Testing and Adjusting Section
4. Observe the Injection Duration that is displayed
on the electronic service tool screen. The
injection duration represents the amount of time
for energizing the injector cartridge valve. The
injection duration also represents the amount of
fuel that is being injected at that engine speed.
5. Use the arrow keys in order to highlight each
cylinder. Then press return. The display should
read CUTOUT next to the cylinder number.
Observe the duration number with each cylinder
that is cut out. Compare the number to the
duration number in Step 4.
When a cylinder is cut out, the other cylinders must
work harder in order to maintain the current engine
speed. The ECM automatically increases the duration
of the cylinders that are still firing in order to maintain
engine rpm.
If a cylinder is cut out and the duration number does
not increase, then that cylinder is producing less
power or that cylinder is not producing power.
This test may also be performed at other engine
speeds and engine loads. When the engine is at rated
load, the duration number will not increase when
the cylinders are cut out. Instead, the engine speed
will decrease. The speed will decrease because the
engine is delivering the rated power. Increasing the
fuel would increase the engines power output above
the rated power. For additional information, refer
to Special Instruction, REHS1003, Performing a
Multiple Cylinder Cutout Test.
i02586265
Fuel Injector E-trim
SMCS Code: 1290
During the manufacturing process, an part number
for an injector trim file is etched on the top surface
of the injectors tappet in order to designate the trim
code of the injector.
The code for each injector is programmed into the
engines ECM during the manufacture of the engine.
When an injector is serviced, the new injectors trim
code must be programmed into the engines ECM.
The trim code is programmed within the calibration
menu that is in the Caterpillar Electronic Technician
(ET). If the new file is not programmed, the previous
injectors characteristics are assumed.
Note: Reprogram the new code as soon as possible.
This will optimize the engines performance. This will
also prevent any detrimental effects.

SMCS Code: 1050-040
There will be a reduction in the performance of the
engine if there is a restriction in the air inlet system or
the exhaust system.
The air flow through the air cleaner may have a
restriction. The pressure at the restriction of the air
flow must not exceed 6.25 kPa (25.0 inches of H2O).
Back pressure is the difference in the pressure
between the exhaust at the outlet elbow and the
atmospheric air. Back pressure from the exhaust
must not be more than 5.0 kPa (20 inches of H2O).
i01939065
Measuring Inlet Manifold
Pressure
SMCS Code: 1058-082
The performance of an engine can be checked.
Determine the boost pressure in the inlet manifold
during a load test. Compare this pressure with the
specifications that are given in the Fuel Setting
and Related Information in the Technical Marketing
Information (TMI). This test is used when there is an
increase in exhaust temperature to the turbocharger
on the engine, yet there is no real sign of a problem
with the engine.
The performance and correct pressure for the
inlet manifold is given in the Fuel Setting and
Related Information in the TMI. Development of this
information is done with these conditions:

The dry barometric pressure measures 96 kPa


(28.8 inches Hg).

25 C (77 F) outside air temperature

35 API rated fuel


Any change from these conditions can change the
pressure in the inlet manifold. The outside air may
have a higher temperature and a lower barometric
pressure than the values that are given above.
This will cause a lower inlet manifold pressure
measurement than the pressure that is given in the
TMI. Outside air that has a lower temperature and a
higher barometric pressure will cause a higher inlet
manifold pressure measurement.
A difference in fuel density will change horsepower
and boost. If the fuel is rated above 35 API, the
pressure in the inlet manifold can be less than the
pressure that is given in the TMI. If the fuel is rated
below 35 API, the pressure in the inlet manifold can
be more than the pressure that is given in the TMI.
Be sure that the air inlet or the exhaust does not
have a restriction when you are making a check of
the pressure.
Note: The electronic service tool may be used to
check the pressure in the inlet manifold.

Crankcase Pressure
SMCS Code: 1215; 1317-082
The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) can be
used to measure crankcase pressure. Crankcase
pressure is given on the display status screen

will perform any of the following functions if the
crankcase pressure is high in the engine: warning,
derate, and shutdown. The response will depend on
the programming and the availability of the parameter
of the monitoring system. Refer to the Testing
and Adjusting, Monitoring System Parameters in
this manual for information on programming the
monitoring system.
Pistons or rings that have damage can be the cause
of too much pressure in the crankcase. This condition
will cause the engine to run rough. There will be
more than the normal amount of fumes coming from
the crankcase breather. This crankcase pressure can
also cause the element for the crankcase breather to

2. Start the engine. Run the engine with SAE 15W40
oil. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual,
Engine Oil for the recommendations of engine
oil.
Note: Allow the engine to reach operating
temperature before you perform the oil pressure test.
Note: The engine oil temperature should not exceed
115 C (239 F).
3. Record the value of the engine oil pressure when
the engine has reached operating temperature.
4. The normal engine oil pressure at rated rpm is
approximately 525 kPa (76 psi) to approximately
575 kPa (83 psi). The maximum engine oil
pressure should never exceed 850 kPa (123 psi).
The minimum engine oil pressure at rated rpm
should be approximately 525 kPa (76 psi). The
minimum engine oil pressure at low idle rpm is
approximately 280 kPa (40 psi).
Note: A record of engine oil pressure can be used
as an indication of possible engine problems or of
damage. A possible problem could exist if the engine
oil pressure suddenly increases or decreases 70 kPa
(10 psi) and the engine is not at normal engine oil
pressure. Inspect the engine and correct the problem.
5. Compare the recorded engine oil pressure with the
engine oil pressure indicators on the instrument
panel and the engine oil pressure that is displayed
on the Cat ET.
6. An engine oil pressure indicator that has a defect
or an engine oil pressure sensor that has a defect
can give a false indication of engine oil pressure.
If there is a notable difference between the engine
oil pressure readings make necessary repairs.
7. If the engine oil pressure is low, refer to Testing
and Adjusting, Engine Oil Pressure is Low for
the possible causes of low engine oil pressure.
8. If the engine oil pressure is high, refer to Testing

Excessive Bearing Wear -
Inspect
SMCS Code: 1203-040; 1211-040; 1219-040
When some components of the engine show bearing
wear in a short time, the cause can be a restriction in
a passage for engine oil.
An indicator for the engine oil pressure may show
that there is enough engine oil pressure, but a
component is worn due to a lack of lubrication. In
such a case, look at the passage for the engine oil
supply to the component. A restriction in an engine
oil supply passage will not allow enough lubrication
to reach a component. This will result in early wear.

SMCS Code: 1348-040
Engine Oil Leaks on the Outside of
the Engine
Check for leakage at the seals at each end of the
crankshaft. Look for leakage at the gasket for the
engine oil pan and all lubrication system connections.
Look for any engine oil that may be leaking from
the crankcase breather. This can be caused by
combustion gas leakage around the pistons. A dirty
crankcase breather will cause high pressure in the
crankcase. A dirty crankcase breather will cause the
gaskets and the seals to leak.
Engine Oil Leaks into the
Combustion Area of the Cylinders
Engine oil that is leaking into the combustion area of
the cylinders can be the cause of blue smoke. There
are several possible ways for engine oil to leak into
the combustion area of the cylinders:

Leaks between worn valve guides and valve stems

Worn components or damaged components


(pistons, piston rings, or dirty return holes for the
engine oil)

Incorrect installation of the compression ring and/or


the intermediate ring

Leaks past the seal rings in the turbocharger shaft

Overfilling of the crankcase

Wrong dipstick or guide tube

Sustained operation at light loads


Excessive consumption of engine oil can also
result if engine oil with the wrong viscosity is used.
Engine oil with a thin viscosity can be caused by fuel
leakage into the crankcase or by increased engine
temperature.

SMCS Code: 1348-040
If the engine oil temperature is higher than normal,
the engine oil cooler may have a restriction. Look
for a restriction in the passages for engine oil in
the engine oil cooler. The engine oil pressure will
not necessarily decrease due to a restriction in the
engine oil cooler.
Determine if the engine oil cooler bypass valve is
held in the open position. This condition will allow
the engine oil to flow through the valve rather
than through the engine oil cooler. The engine oil
temperature will increase.
Make sure that the cooling system is operating
properly. A high coolant temperature in the engine oil
cooler will cause high engine oil temperature.
i01662620
Engine Oil Pressure is Low
SMCS Code: 1304-081
The following conditions can cause an indication of
low engine oil pressure:

Low engine oil level

Problem with the engine oil pressure gauge

Contaminated engine oil

Improper circulation of the engine oil

Worn components
Low Engine Oil Level
Check the engine oil level. If the engine oil level is
too far below the suction tube, the engine oil pump
cannot supply enough lubrication for the engine
components. If the engine oil level is low, add engine
oil in order to obtain the correct level. For the correct
engine oil to use, refer to Operation and Maintenance
Manual, Engine Oil.
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
Refer to Testing and Adjusting, Engine Oil Pressure
- Test. If the engine oil pressure gauge is incorrect,
install a new gauge.
Contaminated Engine Oil
Engine oil that is contaminated with another liquid will
cause low engine oil pressure. High engine oil level
can be an indication of contamination. Determine the
reason for contamination of the engine oil and make
the necessary repairs. Change the engine oil and the
engine oil filter. For the correct engine oil to use, refer
to Operation and Maintenance Manual, Engine Oil.
Improper Circulation of the Engine
Oil
Several factors could cause improper circulation of
the engine oil:

The engine oil filter is clogged. Replace the engine


oil filter.

A line or a passage for the engine oil is


disconnected or broken. Replace the line or clear
the passage.

The engine oil cooler is clogged. Thoroughly clean


the engine oil cooler.

There is a problem with a piston cooling jet. The


piston cooling jets direct engine oil toward the
bottom of the pistons in order to cool the pistons.
This also provides lubrication for the piston pin.
Breakage, a restriction, or incorrect installation of a
piston cooling jet will cause seizure of the piston.

The inlet screen of the suction tube for the engine


oil pump can have a restriction. This restriction can
cause cavitation and a loss of engine oil pressure.
Check the inlet screen on the suction tube and
remove any material that may be restricting engine
oil flow.

The suction tube is drawing in air. Check the joints


of the suction tube for cracks or a damaged O-ring
seal.

There is a problem with the engine oil pump. Check


the gears of the engine oil pump for excessive
wear. Engine oil pressure is reduced when gears
in the engine oil pump have too much wear.
Worn Components
Excessive clearance at the crankshaft or camshaft
bearings will cause low engine oil pressure. Also,
inspect the clearance between the rocker arm shafts
and the rocker arms. Check the engine components
for excessive clearance.

Cooling System
i02225295
General Information (Cooling
System)
SMCS Code: 1350
This engine has a pressure type cooling system. A
pressure type cooling system has two advantages.

The pressure helps prevent cavitation.

The risk of boiling is reduced.


Cavitation occurs when mechanical forces cause the
formation of air bubbles in the coolant. The bubbles
can form on the cylinder liners. Collapsing bubbles
can remove the oxide film from the cylinder liner. This
allows corrosion and pitting to occur. If the pressure
of the cooling system is low, the concentration of
bubbles increases. The concentration of bubbles is
reduced in a pressure type cooling system.
The boiling point is affected by three factors:
pressure, altitude, and concentration of glycol in the
coolant. The boiling point of a liquid is increased by
pressure. The boiling point of a liquid is decreased by
a higher altitude. Illustration 31 shows the effects of
pressure and altitude on the boiling point of water.
g00286266
Illustration 31
The boiling point of the coolant also depends on the
type of coolant and the concentration of glycol. A
greater concentration of glycol has a higher boiling
temperature. However, glycol transfers heat less
effectively than water. Because of the boiling point
and the efficiency of heat transfer, the concentration
of glycol is important.
Three basic problems can be associated with the
cooling system:

Overheating

Coolant loss

Overcooling
If the cooling system is not properly maintained,
solids such as scale and deposits reduce the ability
of the cooling system to transfer heat. The engine
operating temperature will increase.
When the engine is overloaded, the engine will run
in the lug condition. When the engine is running in
the lug condition, the engine is operating at a lower
engine rpm that reduces the coolant flow. Decreased
coolant flow during high load will cause overheating.
Coolant can be lost by leaks. Overheated coolant can
be lost through the cooling systems pressure relief
valve. Lower coolant levels contribute to additional
overheating. Overheating can result in conditions
such as cracking of the cylinder head and piston
seizure.
A cracked cylinder head or cylinder liner will force
exhaust gas into the cooling system. The additional
pressure causes coolant loss, cavitation of the
water pump, less circulation of coolant, and further
overheating.
Overcooling is the result of coolant that bypasses the
water temperature regulators and flows directly to the
radiator or to the heat exchanger. Low load operation
in low ambient temperatures can cause overcooling.
Overcooling is caused by water temperature
regulators that remain open. Overcooling reduces the
efficiency of operation. Overcooling enables more
rapid contamination of the engine oil. This results in
the formation of sludge in the crankcase and carbon
deposits on the valves.
Cycles of rapid heating and cooling can result in
cracked cylinder heads, gasket failure, accelerated
wear, and excessive fuel consumption.
If a problem with the cooling system is suspected,
perform a visual inspection before you perform any
tests on the system.
i02577859
Visual Inspection
SMCS Code: 1350-535
Perform a visual inspection of the cooling system
before a test is made with test equipment.
RENR9338 39
Testing and Adjusting Section
Personal injury can result from escaping fluid un-
der pressure.
If a pressure indication is shown on the indicator,
push the release valve in order to relieve pressure
before removing any hose from the radiator.
1. Check the coolant level in the cooling system. Add
coolant, if necessary.
If the coolant level is too low, air will get into the
cooling system. Air in the cooling system reduces
coolant flow. Air creates bubbles that contribute to
cavitation. Bubbles in the coolant also reduce the
cooling capability.
2. Check the quality of the coolant. The coolant
should have the following properties:

Color that is similar to new coolant

Odor that is similar to new coolant

Free from contamination

Properties that are recommended by the


engines Operation and Maintenance Manual
If the coolant does not have these properties,
drain the system and flush the system. Refill
the cooling system according to the engines
Operation and Maintenance Manual.
3. Check for air in the cooling system. Air can enter
the cooling system in different ways. The following
conditions cause air in the cooling system:

Filling the cooling system incorrectly

Combustion gas leakage into the cooling system


Combustion gas can get into the system through
the following conditions: internal cracks, damaged
cylinder head, and damaged cylinder head gasket.
4. Inspect the radiator (if equipped) and the air-to-air
aftercooler (if equipped). Make sure that the
air flow is not restricted. Look for the following
conditions. Make corrections, if necessary:

Bent fins

Debris between the folded cores

Damaged fan blades


5. Check the heat exchanger (if equipped) for
internal blockage. Make sure that the filters for the
water are not clogged.
The condition of the water that is circulated
through the heat exchanger can decrease the
effectiveness of the heat exchanger. Operating
with water that contains the following types of
debris will adversely affect the heat exchanger
system: silt, sediment, salt, and algae. In addition,
intermittent use of the engine will adversely affect
the heat exchanger system.
6. Check the pressure cap.
If the pressure cap does not maintain the correct
pressure on the cooling system, the engine could
overheat. A decrease in cooling system pressure
reduces the temperature of the waters boiling
point.
7. Inspect the cooling system hoses and clamps.
Damaged hoses with leaks can normally be seen.
Hoses that have no visual leaks can soften during
operation. The soft areas of the hose can become
kinked or crushed during operation. These areas
of the hose restrict the coolant flow. Hoses can
crack after a period of time. The inside of a hose
can deteriorate and the loose particles of the hose
can restrict the coolant flow.
8. Check the water temperature regulators.
A water temperature regulator that does not open
or a water temperature regulator that only opens
part of the way can cause overheating.
A water temperature regulator that does not close
enables overcooling.
9. Check the engine water pump and check the
auxiliary pump.
A water pump with a damaged impeller does not
pump enough coolant for correct coolant flow.
This affects the engines operating temperature.
Remove the water pump and check for damage
to the impeller.
10. Check the aftercooler.
A restriction of water flow through the aftercooler
can cause overheating. Check for debris or
deposits which restrict the free flow of water
through the aftercooler.

4C-4911 Battery Load Tester
The 4C-4911 Battery Load Tester is a portable unit
in a metal case. The 4C-4911 Battery Load Tester
can be used under field conditions and under high
temperatures. The tester can be used to load test
all 6, 8, and 12 Volt batteries. This tester has two
heavy-duty load cables that can easily be fastened
to the battery terminals. A load adjustment knob is
located on the top of the tester. The load adjustment
knob permits the current that is being drawn from
the battery to be adjusted to a maximum of 1000
amperes. The tester is cooled by an internal fan that
is automatically activated when a load is applied.
The tester has a built-in LCD. The LCD is a digital
voltmeter. The LCD is a digital meter that will
also display the amperage. The digital voltmeter
accurately measures the battery voltage at the
battery. This measurement is taken through tracer
wires that are buried inside the load cables. The
digital meter, that displays the amperage, accurately
displays the current that is being drawn from the
battery which is being tested.
Note: Refer to Operating Manual, SEHS9249
for more complete information for the use of the
4C-4911 Battery Load Tester.

225-8266 Ammeter Tool Gp
The 225-8266 Ammeter Tool Gp is a completely
portable, self-contained instrument that allows
electrical current measurements to be made without
breaking the circuit or without disturbing the insulation
on the conductors. A digital display is located on the
ammeter for reading current directly in a range from
1 to 1200 amperes. If a 6V-6014 Cable is connected
between this ammeter and a digital multimeter, a
current reading of less than 1 ampere can be read
directly from the screen of the multimeter.
52 RENR9338
Testing and Adjusting Section
A lever is used to open the jaw over the conductor up
to a diameter of 23 mm (0.90 inch). The jaw of the
meter is then closed around the conductor for the
measurement of current. The switch is rotated to the
appropriate range. A HOLD button allows the last
reading to be sustained on the display. This allows
measurements to be taken in limited access areas.
Power for the ammeter is supplied by batteries which
are located inside the tool.
Note: Refer to the Users Guide for more complete
information for the use of the ammeter. The guide is
packaged with the unit.

i01305428
Battery
SMCS Code: 1401-081
Never disconnect any charging unit circuit or bat-
tery circuit cable from the battery when the charg-
ing unit is operated. A spark can cause an explo-
sion from the flammable vapor mixture of hydro-
gen and oxygen that is released from the elec-
trolyte through the battery outlets. Injury to per-
sonnel can be the result.
The battery circuit is an electrical load on the charging
unit. The load is variable because of the condition of
the charge in the battery.
NOTICE
The charging unit will be damaged if the connections
between the battery and the charging unit are broken
while in operation. Damage occurs because the load
from the battery is lost and because there is an in-
crease in charging voltage. High voltage will damage
the charging unit, the regulator, and other electrical
components.
Use the 4C-4911 Battery Load Tester in order to
test a battery that does not maintain a charge when
the battery is active. Refer to Operating Manual,
SEHS9249 for detailed instruction on the use of
the 4C-4911 Battery Load Tester. See Special
Instruction, SEHS7633 for the correct procedure
and for the specifications to use when you test the
batteries.
i01223618
Charging System
SMCS Code: 1406-081
The condition of charge in the battery at each regular
inspection will show if the charging system operates
correctly. An adjustment is necessary when the
battery is constantly in a low condition of charge or
a large amount of water is needed. A large amount
of water would be more than one ounce of water per
cell per week or per every 100 service hours.
RENR9338 53
Testing and Adjusting Section
When it is possible, make a test of the charging
unit and voltage regulator on the engine, and use
wiring and components that are a permanent part of
the system. Off-engine testing or bench testing will
give a test of the charging unit and voltage regulator
operation. This testing will give an indication of
needed repair. After repairs are made, perform a test
in order to prove that the units have been repaired to
the original condition of operation.
To check for correct output of the alternator, see the
Specifications module.
Before the start of on-engine testing, the charging
system and the battery must be checked according
to the following steps.
1. The battery must be at least 75 percent (1.225 Sp
Gr) of the full charge. The battery must be held
tightly in place. The battery holder must not put
too much stress on the battery.
2. Cables between the battery, the starter, and the
engine ground must be the correct size. Wires
and cables must be free of corrosion. Wires and
cables must have cable support clamps in order to
prevent stress on battery connections (terminals).
3. Leads, junctions, switches, and panel instruments
that have direct relation to the charging circuit
must give correct circuit control.
4. Inspect the drive components for the charging unit
in order to be sure that the components are free of
grease and oil. Be sure that the drive components
have the ability to operate the charging unit.
i02388966
Alternator Regulator
SMCS Code: 1405-081
The charging rate of the alternator should be
checked when an alternator is charging the battery
too much. The charging rate of the alternator should
be checked when an alternator is not charging the
battery enough. Make reference to the Specifications
module in order to find all testing specifications for
the alternators and regulators.
No adjustment can be made in order to change the
rate of charge on the alternator regulators. If the
rate of charge is not correct, a replacement of the
regulator is necessary.

Electric Starting System
SMCS Code: 1450-081
Use the multimeter in the DCV range to find the
starting system components which do not function.
Move the start control switch in order to activate the
starting solenoids. The starting solenoids operation
can be heard as the pinions of the starting motors are
engaged with the ring gear on the engine flywheel.
If a solenoid for a starting motor will not operate, it
is possible that the current from the battery did not
reach the solenoid. Fasten one lead of the multimeter
to the connection (terminal) for the battery cable on
the solenoid. Put the other lead to a good ground. A
zero reading indicates that there is a broken circuit
from the battery. More testing is necessary when
there is a voltage reading on the multimeter.
54 RENR9338
Testing and Adjusting Section
The solenoid operation also closes the electric circuit
to the motor. Connect one lead of the multimeter to
the solenoid connection (terminal) that is fastened
to the motor. Fasten the other lead to a good
ground. Activate the starting solenoid and look at the
multimeter. A reading of the battery voltage shows
that the problem is in the motor. The motor must
be removed for further testing. A zero reading on
the multimeter shows that the solenoid contacts do
not close. Repair the solenoid if the contacts do not
close. The clearance for the starter motor pinion gear
may also need adjusting.
Perform a test. Fasten one multimeter lead to
the connecting (terminal) for the small wire to the
solenoid and fasten the other lead to the ground.
Look at the multimeter and activate the starting
solenoid. A voltage reading shows that the problem
is in the solenoid. A zero reading indicates that the
problem is in the start switch or in the wires for the
start switch.
Fasten one multimeter lead to the start switch at the
connection (terminal) for the wire from the battery.
Fasten the other lead to a good ground. A zero
reading indicates a broken circuit from the battery.
Check the circuit breaker and wiring. If there is a
voltage reading, the problem is in the start switch or
in the wires for the start switch.
Starting motors that operate too slowly can have
an overload because of too much friction in the
engine that is being started. Slow operation of the
starting motors can also be caused by the following
conditions:

A short circuit

Loose connections

Dirt in the motors
