C4.4 Generator Set Engines Caterpillar


E361 High Engine Coolant Temperature

Usage:

C4.4 CF7
Conditions Which Generate This Code:

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects a fault with the coolant temperature of the engine. The ECM detects the following faults:

  • The engine has been running for more than three minutes.

  • The engine coolant temperature trip level for the event code is reached.

  • Diagnostic code 110-03 Engine Coolant Temperature open/short to +batt is not active.

  • Diagnostic code 110-04 Engine Coolant Temperature short to ground is not active.

Table 1
Engine Coolant Trip Level Table 
Engine Model  E361-1   E361-3  
Trip Point  113 °C (233 °F)  118 °C (244 °F) 
Delay to Activation  10 seconds  2 seconds 

System Response:

The event code will be logged.

The warning light on the control panel will flash.

A snapshot will be triggered.

Possible Performance Effect:

E361-1 There is no performance effect.

None

E361-3 If the shut down override has not been enabled, the engine will shut down.

The ECM will shut down the engine after two seconds when the Engine Coolant Temperature Trip Level has been reached.

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, "Coolant Temperature Is Too High".

Results:

  • OK - STOP
