1. Check the Current Flow to the
Heating Element in the ARD
Combustion Head

A. Start the engine. Check the current
flow to the heater. Refer to Systems
Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "ARD
Nozzle Heater (Current) - 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.

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.


ETI
code


Result: The ETI code was
recorded.

Proceed to Test Step 3.

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 "Active
Events" or "Logged Events" screen in
Cat ET. Record the Enhanced
Troubleshooting Indicator (ETI) code.
ETI codes are not available for (2)
codes.

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
Valve

A. 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
Engine ECM.


Pressure
Checkout


Result: The pressure reading was greater
than
758 kPa (110 psi).

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.

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.

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

C. Connect to the Engine #1
Aftertreatment ECM using
Cat ET.

D. Select the "Aftertreatment
Fuel Pump Relay Override"
in order to activate the
pump.

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

F. Deactivate the override.

G. Turn the keyswitch to the
OFF position.

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

Checkout

1900 120 kPa (275 17.4 psi).

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.
