Perform this procedure under conditions that are identical to the conditions that exist when the problem
occurs. Typically, problems with the injector solenoid occur when the engine is warmed up and/or when
the engine is under vibration (heavy loads).
These engines have Electronic Unit Injectors (EUI) that are hydraulically actuated and electronically
controlled. The Engine Control Module (ECM) sends a 105 volt pulse to each injector solenoid. The pulse
is sent at the proper time and at the correct duration for a given engine load and speed. The solenoid is
mounted on top of the fuel injector body.
If an open is detected in the solenoid circuit, a diagnostic code is generated. The ECM continues to try to
fire the injector. If a short is detected, a diagnostic code is generated. The ECM will disable the solenoid
circuit. The ECM will periodically try to fire the injector. If the short circuit remains, this sequence of
events will be repeated until the problem is corrected.
When an injector is replaced, program the new injector code into the ECM. If the ECM is replaced, all six
injector codes must be programmed into the new ECM. Refer to programming parameters
Troubleshooting, "Injector Trim File".
The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) includes the following tests that aid in troubleshooting the
injector solenoids:
"Cylinder Cutout Test"
All active diagnostic codes must be repaired before running the "Cylinder Cutout Test". Use the "Cylinder
Cutout Test" to diagnose a malfunctioning injector while the engine is running. When a good injector is cut
out, the "Fuel Position" should change. The change in the fuel position is caused by the other injectors that
are compensating for the cut out injector. If a malfunctioning injector is cut out, the "Fuel Position" will
not change. The "Cylinder Cutout Test" is used to isolate the malfunctioning injector in order to avoid
replacement of good injectors.
"Injector Solenoid Test"
Use the "Injector Solenoid Test" to aid in diagnosing an open circuit or a short circuit while the engine is
not running. The "Injector Solenoid Test" briefly activates each solenoid. A good solenoid will create an
audible click when the solenoid is activated. Cat ET will indicate the status of the solenoid as "OK",
"Open", or "Short".
Note: Refer to Illustration 2. Two injector solenoids share a common supply wire. For this reason, an open
circuit or a short circuit in a supply wire could cause diagnostic codes for two injector solenoids.

F. Select the start button at the bottom of the screen for the cylinder cutout test on Cat ET.
G. Select the "4 Cylinder Cutout Test" which is the default test.
H. Follow the instructions that are provided by Cat ET in order to complete the cylinder cutout test. The
cylinder cutout test is interactive so the procedure is guided to the finish. The test results are
displayed on Cat ET.
The "4 Cylinder Cutout Test" will not run unless certain conditions are present. For example, Cat ET
will not allow the "4 Cylinder Cutout Test" to occur when the temperature of the engine coolant is
too low. In this case, warm the engine or perform the test manually.
I. You may manually cut out a cylinder, if necessary. Highlight a cylinder and select the "Change"
button at the bottom of the screen. The injector for that cylinder will be disabled. Check for a
difference in the sound, feel, or power of the engine. Also, look for a change to the operating
parameters that are displayed on the "Cylinder Cutout Test" screen.
Expected Result:
The cylinder cutout test indicates that all of the injectors are operating correctly.
Results:
z OK - The cylinder cutout test indicates that all of the injectors are operating correctly.
