Fix: Inspect turbocharger; repair/replace as required. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer. - Turbocharger Noise or Vibration
Fix: Check intake manifold gasket and manifold; repair as required. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer. - Shaft seals worn
Fix: Inspect turbocharger; repair/replace as required. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer. - Oil starvation or insufficient lubrication
Fix: Determine cause of lack of lubrication; repair as required. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer. - Oil on Turbocharger Compressor Wheel or in Compressor Housing (Oil Being Pushed or Pulled through Center Housing)
Cause: Excessive crankcase pressure
Fix: Determine cause of excessive crankcase pressure; repair as required. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer. - Oil in Intake Manifold or Dripping from Turbocharger Housing
Cause: Air intake restriction
Fix: Determine cause of intake restriction; repair as required. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer. - Low Oil Pressure
Cause: Low crankcase oil level, Clogged oil cooler or filter, Excessive oil temperature, Defective oil pump, Incorrect oil, Oil pressure regulating valve failure, Broken piston spray jet, Clogged oil pump screen or cracked pick-up tube, Excessive main or connecting rod bearing clearance
Fix: Fill crankcase to proper oil level., Remove and inspect oil cooler. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer., Remove and inspect oil cooler. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer., Remove and inspect oil pump. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer., Drain crankcase and refill with correct oil., Remove and inspect oil pressure regulating valve. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer., Replace piston spray jet. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer., Remove oil pan and clean screen/replace pick-up tube., Determine bearing clearance. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer. - Lack of Engine Power
Cause: Improper clearance between turbine wheel and turbine housing
Fix: See ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING earlier in this section. - High Oil Pressure
Cause: Improper oil classification, Oil pressure regulating valve bushing loose (wanders), Improperly operating regulating valve, Plugged piston spray jet, Stuck or damaged filter bypass valve, Stuck or damaged oil cooler bypass valve
Fix: Drain crankcase and refill with correct oil., Remove and inspect oil pressure regulating valve. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer., Remove and inspect oil pressure regulating valve. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer., Replace piston spray jet. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer., Remove and inspect filter bypass valve. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer., Remove and inspect oil cooler bypass valve. See your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer. - Hard to Start or Will Not Start
Cause: Air leak in intake manifold.
Fix: See ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING earlier in this section. - GENERATOR VOLTAGE IS FLUCTUATING
Cause: Incorrect Speed, Verify speed with tachometer or frequency meter. - GENERATOR PRODUCES NO VOLTAGE OR RESIDUAL VOLTAGE
Cause: Regulator Fuse Blown, Check fuse with an ohmmeter. Replace bad fuse, refer tofjazeugte)
Fix: Check to be sure meter phase selector switch is not in the off position. - GENERATOR PRODUCES LOW VOLTAGE WHEN LOAD IS APPLIED
Cause: Overload, Measure amps and verify that the load does not exceed the nameplate rating of the generator. Refer to section 8. - GENERATOR PRODUCES LOW VOLTAGE - NO LOAD
Cause: Underspeed Operation, Check speed using tachometers and/or frequency meters.
