Table 4
Troubleshooting Test Steps  Values  Results 

1. Check for Codes

A. Connect Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector.

B. Determine if a code is active or logged.
 

Codes 

Result : A -5 or -6 code related to the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid dosing valve (DEF Injector) is active or logged.

Proceed to Test Step 4.

Result : A -5code that is not related to the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid dosing valve (DEF Injector) is active or logged.

Proceed to Test Step 2.

Result : A -6 code that is not related to the aftertreatment diesel exhaust fluid dosing valve (DEF Injector) is active or logged.

Proceed to Test Step 3.
 

2. Check the Wiring for an Open Circuit

A. Verify that the harness connector is free of debris, free of corrosion and securely connected.

B. Disconnect the solenoid from the harness.

C. Connect a jumper wire between the terminals of the harness connector for the affected coil. The coil is replaced with a short circuit.
 

Create a Short 

Result: A -5 code became active during the electrical checkout. The ECM did not detect the jumper wire. There is an open circuit in the wiring between the coil and the ECM connector. There may be a problem with a connector.

Repair: Repair or replace the connectors or the wiring.

Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.

Result: A -6 code is activated during the electrical checkout. The ECM detected the jumper wire. There is a problem with the solenoid.

Repair: Replace the solenoid.

Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
 

3. Check the Wiring for a Short Circuit

A. Disconnect the solenoid from the harness.
 

Create an Open 

Result: A -6 code became active during the electrical checkout. The ECM did not detect the open circuit. There is a short circuit in the wiring between the coil and the ECM connector. There may be a problem with a connector.

Repair: Repair or replace the connectors or the wiring.

Turn the keyswitch to OFF for 2 minutes. The keyswitch must be off for 2 minutes to allow the DEF pump to purge, the code to reset, and the DCU to reset.

Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.

Result: A -5 code is activated during the electrical checkout. The ECM detected the open circuit. There is a problem with the solenoid.

Repair: Replace the solenoid.

Turn the keyswitch to OFF for 2 minutes. The keyswitch must be off for 2 minutes to allow the DEF pump to purge, the code to reset, and the DCU to reset.

Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
 

4. Measure the Resistance of the Injector

Note: A 372-5260 Test Kit is required for completing this procedure.

A. Turn the keyswitch to OFF. Allow 2 minutes to elapse before proceeding.

B. Disconnect the DEF injector from the applicable harness.

C. Inspect the connector for damage or debris.

D. Connect two 398-4987 Break-out Connectors to the DEF injector. The connectors must be used to prevent damage to the DEF injector connector.

E. Measure the resistance of the DEF injector.

Note: The resistance of the DEF injector should be in the range of 10 Ohms to 14 Ohms.
 

Ohms 

Result: The resistance of the injector measured between 10 Ohms to 14 Ohms.

Proceed to Test Step 5.

Result: The resistance of the injector did not measure between 10 Ohms to 14 Ohms. A failed DEF injector has been detected.

Repair: Replace the injector. Refer to the Disassembly and Assembly manual for additional information.

Perform a "Aftertreatment #1 DEF Dosing System Prime Test" using Cat ET to verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
 

5. Check the Wiring for a Short Circuit

A. Disconnect the injector from the harness.

B. Connect two 398-4985 Break-out Connectors to the DEF injector harness connector. The connectors must be used to prevent damage to the DEF injector connector.

C. Measure the resistance between the following terminals:

- The DEF injector positive wire and the DEF injector negative wire at the DEF injector connector.
- The DEF injector positive wire and a good ground.
-The DEF injector negative wire and a good ground.

Note: The resistance between the DEF injector negative wire and a good ground should be greater than 1000 Ohms.
 

Create a Short 

Result: The resistance of the DEF injector wiring harness measured greater than 1000 Ohms.

Proceed to Test Step 6.

Result: The resistance of the DEF injector wiring harness measured less than 1000 Ohms. There is a short circuit in the wiring harness between the DEF injector connector and the DCU or there is an external short to ground.

Repair: Repair or replace the wiring harness.

Perform a "Aftertreatment #1 DEF Dosing System Prime Test" using Cat ET to verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
 

6. Check the Wiring for an Open Circuit

A. Disconnect the injector from the harness.

B. Disconnect the PETU wiring harness from the DCU.

C. Connect two 398-4985 Break-out Connectors to the DEF injector harness connector. The connectors must be used to prevent damage to the DEF injector connector.

D. Connect one 398-5062 Break-out Connector to terminal 12 and one 398-5062 Break-out Connector to terminal 32 on the 86-pin DCU connector. The Break-Out Connectors must be used to prevent damage to the DCU connectors.

E. Measure the resistance between the following terminals:

- Terminal 1 on the DEF injector connector and Terminal 32 on the 86-pin DCU connector.
- Terminal 2 on the DEF injector connector and Terminal 12 on the 86-pin DCU connector.
 

Create an Open 

Result: There are more than 10 Ohms of resistance on any one of the DEF injector circuit wires. There is an open in the harness.

Repair: Repair or replace the wiring harness.

Perform a "Aftertreatment #1 DEF Dosing System Prime Test" using Cat ET to verify that the repair eliminated the problem.
