C-10, C-12, C-15 and C-16 Industrial Engines – E058 Low Engine Coolant Level Shutdown

Conditions Which Generate This Code:

Table 1
Trip Level     Set Point (sec)     Reset Level     Reset Time    
Low     5 sec     0 rpm     5 sec    

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) will not act until the engine speed is greater than 0 rpm for 60 seconds.

The engine will shut down after all of the conditions for “shutdown” are met.

The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) will display “No Engine Speed” in the first engine status box on any CAT ET status screen.

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) will generate a EID 058 event code on the CAT data link. The event code will be displayed on a diagnostic screen of the CAT ET.

The ECM will generate a SPN 111-FMI 01 event code on the J1939 data link. The event code may be displayed on a receiving device for the J1939 data link.

The ECM will generate a 62 flash code that will be displayed on the diagnostic lamp.

  • There may be a problem with the cooling system.

Test Step 1. Check the Level of the Engine Coolant

    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. Check the level of the engine coolant. The coolant must completely cover the coolant level switch. Refer to the appropriate topic in Testing and Adjusting for information about problems with the cooling system.

Expected Result:

There are no problems with the cooling system.

Results:

  • OK – There may be an intermittent problem.

    Repair: Monitor the operation of the engine.Repair the problem.Ensure that the repair eliminates the problem.

    STOP

  • Not OK –

    Repair: Repair the problem.Ensure that the repair eliminates the problem.

    STOP

Test Step 2. Check the Coolant Level Switch
