What should the operating temperature of a Caterpillar C9 be?

What should the operating temperature of a Caterpillar C9 be?

Proper temperature for your engine. Best resource– call the Caterpillar RV hotline with your engine serial number: 877 777-3126. Time it takes to reach operating temperature under load. 30 minutes is WAY too long. Replace the thermostat (s). My C9 runs at 204-206 on both the analog dash gauge and on the Scangauge.

What’s the operating temperature of a Cummins cat 9.3?

The temperature of my CAT 9.3 is 97degrees C (205F) and my ISL Cummins was a little lower. The radiator’s job is to get rid of the heat but allow the engine to run at its optimum temperature.

How to troubleshoot a C13 or C15 engine?

Troubleshooting, “Sensor Signal (Analog, Active) – Test” Troubleshooting, “Sensor Signal (Analog, Active) – Test” Replace the soot sensor. Perform the “DPF Soot Loading Sensor Functional Test” on Cat ET.

How to find the code for a Caterpillar engine?

Use the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) in order to determine the codes that are active or logged. Then refer to the appropriate troubleshooting procedure for more information. Troubleshooting, “Sensor Signal (Analog, Active) – Test” Troubleshooting, “Sensor Signal (Analog, Active) – Test”

What should the coolant temperature be in a Caterpillar C7?

With a 70/30 mixture of antifreeze and water the boiling point increases to 277 F °. Normal operating temperature of a Caterpillar C7 for example is 180-200 F °. Each diesel engine is different but ideally the coolant boiling temperature will increase under pressure. A.)

The temperature of my CAT 9.3 is 97degrees C (205F) and my ISL Cummins was a little lower. The radiator’s job is to get rid of the heat but allow the engine to run at its optimum temperature.

What should I do if my cat cooling fan is not working?

That should be the red one near or at the compressor. Try to unplug it and see if the fan stays released. The coolant temp sensor that is read by the ecm to control the fan also sends the data to your coolant temp gauge. If the gauge is reading normal the sensor and wiring should be fine. (The insulation needs to be fixed for sure!)

What causes a Caterpillar C7 diesel engine to overheat?

Normal operating temperature of a Caterpillar C7 for example is 180-200 F °. Each diesel engine is different but ideally the coolant boiling temperature will increase under pressure. A.) Sometimes a loose fan drive belt will cause a reduction in coolant flow through the radiator and subsequent overheating will occur.
