Troubleshooting Test Steps	Values	Results
1. Diagnostic Codes A. Download the Warranty Report and the Product Status Report with Histograms before performing any troubleshooting or clearing any diagnostic codes. Note: The downloaded information will be required by the Dealer Solutions Network (DSN) if troubleshooting assistance is needed. B. Use the electronic service tool to check for active or logged codes.	Diagnostic codes	Result: A 412-X or E1092 code and a 110-X or E361 code are present. Repair: Rectify the 110-X or E361 code. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Coolant Temperature Is High". Result: A 412-X or E1092 code is present. Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Coolant Check A. Check for leaks from the coolant system. B. Check that the coolant level is correct. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, Coolant Level - Check.	Coolant	Result: Coolant leaks were identified. Repair: Repair any coolant leaks. Repeat the procedure from Step 1. Result: Coolant level is low. Repair: Ensure that the coolant level is corrected. Repeat the procedure from Step 1. Result: The coolant level is OK and there are no leaks. Proceed to Test Step 3.
3. Inspect the NRS Cooler Refer to Illustration 1. A. Perform a leak test on the NRS cooler. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, "Exhaust Cooler (NRS) - Test".	NRS cooler	Result: The NRS cooler has internal leakage. Repair: Replace the NRS cooler. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Exhaust Cooler (NRS) - Remove and Install". Use the electronic service tool to clear all related diagnostic codes and then run the engine and ensure that the fault has been eliminated. If the fault is still present, contact the Dealer Solutions Network (DSN).
