Recommended Actions
Coolant Level

Pressurized System: Hot coolant can cause serious burns. To


open the cooling system filler cap, stop the engine and wait until
the cooling system components are cool. Loosen the cooling
system pressure cap slowly in order to relieve the pressure.

1. Inspect the coolant level. If necessary, add coolant.

2. Check the cooling system for leaks. Repair any leaks immediately.

Combustion Gases in the Cooling System


Inspect the coolant for presence of bubbles. If bubbles are present, combustion gases may be
entering the cooling system.

Water Temperature Regulators


Check the water temperature regulators for correct operation. Refer to Testing and Adjusting,
"Cooling System" for the proper procedure. If necessary, replace the water temperature regulators.
Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Water Temperature Regualtor - Remove and Install" for more
information.

Restriction in the Cooling System


The following cooling systems may not be operating properly.

Raw water circuit for the heat exchanger

Keel cooler

Raw Water Circuit for the Heat Exchanger


1. Visually inspect the circuit for collapsed hoses and/or other restrictions.

2. Clean the circuit and make the necessary repairs to the circuit.

Keel Cooler
1. Visually inspect the circuit for collapsed hoses and/or other restrictions.

2. Clean the circuit and make the necessary repairs to the circuit.

Coolant Temperature Gauge


Compare the reading for the coolant temperature from the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET)
to the reading for the coolant temperature from a mechanical gauge.

Water Pump
Inspect the water pump impeller for damage and/or erosion. If necessary, repair the water pump or
replace the water pump.

Excessive Load on the System


Reduce the load and verify that the condition does not reoccur.
