C4.4 Generator Set Engines Caterpillar


E360 Low Engine Oil Pressure

Usage:

C4.4 CF7
Conditions Which Generate This Code:

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects a fault with the engine's oil pressure. The ECM detects the following faults:

  • The engine has been running for more than ten seconds.

  • The low oil pressure trip is below the trip levels for the event code. Refer to Table 1 for a list of low oil pressure trip levels.

  • Diagnostic code 100-03 Engine Oil Pressure open/short to +batt is not active.

  • Diagnostic code 100-04 Engine Oil Pressure short to ground is not active.

Note: This event code represents an event. This does not represent an electronic system fault.

Table 1
Low Oil Pressure Trip Level (kPa Gauge) Table 
  E360-1  E360-3 
  RPM  kPa Gauge  RPM  kPa Gauge 
Trip Point 
1500 250 kPa (36 psi)  1500  100 kPa (14 psi) 
1800 250 kPa (36 psi)  1800  100 kPa (14 psi) 
Delay to Activation  8 seconds  4 seconds 

System Response:

The event code will be logged.

The warning light on the control panel will flash.

Possible Performance Effect:

E360-1

None

E360-3

A snapshot will be triggered. The ECM will derate the power. The power will be derated at 17 percent per second for two seconds.

The shutdown of the engine will only occur if the "Enable Shutdown" customer programmable parameter has been enabled.

Troubleshooting:

Test Step 1.

Refer to Troubleshooting, "Low Engine Oil Pressure".

Results:

  • OK - STOP
