E040 Low Engine Oil Pressure Shutdown
Conditions Which Generate This Code:
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects all of the following conditions:
- The engine has been running for at least 10 seconds.
- Engine oil pressure is below the default trip line in Illustration 1 for 9 seconds.
- 100-03 "Engine Oil Pressure open/short to +batt" is not active.
- 100-04 "Engine Oil Pressure short to ground" is not active.

System Response:
The ECM will log the event.
- Engine Shutdown
- There may be a problem with the engine lubrication system.
- There may be a problem with the engine oil pressure sensor.
Test Step 1. Check for "ACTIVE" Diagnostic Codes.
- Start the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET).
- Turn the main power to the ON position.
- Check for any Active Diagnostic Codes or Logged Diagnostic Codes.
Expected Result:
There should be no diagnostic codes that are present.
Results:
- OK - There are no diagnostic codes that are present. Proceed to test step 2.
- Not OK - There are diagnostic codes that are present.
Repair: Repair the diagnostic codes that are present. Refer to the appropriate topic in the "Troubleshooting With a Diagnostic Code" section of this manual. Ensure that the repair eliminates the problem.
STOP
Test Step 2. Perform a Check of the Engine Lubrication System.
- Perform a check of the engine lubrication system. Refer to the diagnostic procedure Troubleshooting, "Low Engine Oil Pressure".
Expected Result:
There should be no problems with engine oil pressure.
Results:
- OK - There are no problems with engine oil pressure. There may be an intermittent problem.
Repair: Monitor the operation of the engine. Repair the problem. Ensure that the repair eliminates the problem.
STOP
- Not OK - There are problems with engine oil pressure.
Repair: Repair the problem. Ensure that the repair eliminates the problem.
