2. Troubleshooting
If the fault occurs only under certain operating conditions (high idle speed, full load, high engine
operating temperature, etc.), then test the diesel engine under these conditions.
(1) Check whether there is a fault code on the ET. Troubleshoot and troubleshoot all fault codes before
continuing with this procedure.
(2) Check whether the ECM connectors J1/P1 and J2/P2 and the injector connector are installed
correctly. Please refer to Section 11.4 of this chapter.

cause the diesel engine to run erratically and limit diesel engine power.
(4) Monitor the throttling signal on ET. Check whether the throttle signal is stable from the low idle position to the high idle position.
(5) Check the injection drive pressure, please refer to Section 6.3.
(6) Check the fuel system, please refer to Section 6.4 of this section.
(7) Check the air filter clogging indicator. Clean or replace clogged air filter.
(8) Check whether the air intake and exhaust systems are blocked and/or leaking.
