Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check the Current Flow to the Heating Element in the ARD Combustion HeadA. Start the engine. Check the current flow to the heater. Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, “ARD Nozzle Heater – Test” for the correct procedure. Current check Result : The current flow is between 7.0 A and 14 A for a 12 V system. Or, the current flow is between 3.5 A and 7 A for a 24 V system.The current flow is OK. Proceed to Test Step 2.

Result : The current flow is not between 7.0 A and 14 A for a 12 V system. Or, the current flow is not between 3.5 A and 7 A for a 24 V system.

Repair : There may be a problem with the ARD nozzle. Refer to Troubleshooting, “ARD Nozzle Heater – Test”.

STOP

2. Perform an ARD Ignition Test and Record the Enhanced Troubleshooting Indicator (ETI)A. Establish communication between Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) and the Electronic Control Module (ECM). Refer to Troubleshooting, “Electronic Service Tools”, if necessary.

B. Perform an ARD Ignition Test using Cat ET. Refer to System Operation and Testing and Adjusting, “ARD Fuel System – Test”.

C. The ETI code is located in the “Status” screen under “Enhanced Troubleshooting Information (ETI) – ARD”. Record the Enhanced Troubleshooting Indicator (ETI) code.
ETI codes are not available for (2) codes.

ETI code Result : There is not an ETI code.Proceed to Test Step 3.

Result : The ETI code was recorded.

Proceed to Test Step 3.

Note: The ARD Ignition Test cannot be performed if the DPF soot loading is above 80%. When the DPF soot loading is above 80%, the Manual DPF Regeneration must be performed using Cat ET.

3. Check the Fuel Diverter ValveA. Turn the engine OFF.

B. Disconnect the ARD fuel line from the pump.

C. Install the required parts listed in Table 2 at the outlet port of the pump.

D. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.

E. Establish communications between Cat ET and the ECM.

F. Clear the active event code or the override will not activate.

G. Select Fuel Priming Command Override in Cat ET in order to activate the pump.

H. Override the pump and record the pressure from the pressure gauge.

I. Deactivate the override.

J. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.

Pressure Checkout Result : The pressure reading was greater than 758 kPa (110 psi).Repair : Replace the diverter valve. Perform an “ARD Ignition Test” using Cat ET. Refer to System Operation and Testing and Adjusting , “ARD Fuel System – Test”.
The ARD Ignition Test cannot be performed if the DPF soot loading is above 80%. When the DPF soot loading is above 80%, the Manual DPF Regeneration must be performed using Cat ET.Result : The pressure reading was less than
758 kPa (110 psi).Proceed to Test Step 4.

4. Check the PumpA. Start the engine.

B. Clear the active event code or the override will not activate.

C. Select the “Aftertreatment Fuel Pump Relay Override” in Cat ET in order to activate the pump.

D. Override the pump and record the pressure from the pressure gauge.

E. Deactivate the override.

F. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.

G. The pressure must be within specifications. The pump pressure must be
1900 ± 120 kPa (275.5 ± 17.4 psi).

Pump Checkout Result : The pressure measured greater than
1900 ± 120 kPa (275 ± 17.4 psi).Repair : Replace the pressure regulator. Perform an “ARD Ignition Test” using Cat ET. Refer to System Operation and Testing and Adjusting , “ARD Fuel System – Test”.The ARD Ignition Test cannot be performed if the DPF soot loading is above 80%. When the DPF soot loading is above 80%, the Manual DPF Regeneration must be performed using Cat ET.

Result : The pump is within specifications.

If you are troubleshooting an E1050 (1) or E1051 (1) code with an ETI of 5 or 6, Proceed to Test Step 5.

Result : The pump is within specifications.

If you are troubleshooting an E1050 (1) code with an ETI of 1 or an E1050 (2), Proceed to Test Step 6.

Result : The pump is within specifications.

If you are troubleshooting an E1051 (1) code with an ETI of 1 or an E1051 (2), Proceed to Test Step 7.

ETI codes are not available for (2) codes.
