Common problems

5
  • Overheating
    Fix: Stop the engine under normal conditions; stop the engine in abnormal conditions (overheating)
  • Engine does not start
    Fix: Clear flood, cold start
  • Engine Does Not Crank
    Fix: Check battery cables – adjust any loose connections and clean any corrosion. Check battery charge. Check electrical leads – something may be loose or disconnected. Check all fuses and relays. Refer to Pre-Operational checklist for further checks.
  • Check Gauges light is illuminated
    Fix: Check oil pressure and coolant temperature immediately. There are safeties in the calibration that will reduce engine speed if the sensor output is out of the normal range (low oil pressure when the engine is at rated speed for instance). If the engine should turn off for no apparent reason, check this lamp.
  • Check Engine Light is illuminated
    Cause: A fault exists that is related to the engine's control system. Some of the components that can cause problems are: crank sensor, cam sensor, fuel injectors, regulators, ignition system and Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) sensor.
    Fix: Stop operation of engine as soon as safely possible. Request that a technician inspect the fault code setting. He or she will connect a scan tool to determine the cause of the MIL illuminating, repair the problem, and clear the codes.
