1. Check for Associated Codes A. Establish communication between Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) and the Electronic Control Module (ECM). |
Associated Diagnostic Trouble Codes |
Result: A 5580-18 or E198 code is not active. Proceed to Test Step 2. Result: A 5580-18 or E198 code is active. Repair: Refer to Troubleshooting, "Fuel Pressure Is Low" for the proper troubleshooting procedure. Result: A 3427-5, 3427-6, 5423-5 or 5423-6 code is active. Repair: Refer to Troubleshooting, "Solenoid Valve - Test" for the proper troubleshooting procedure. |
2. Record the Enhanced Troubleshooting Indicator (ETI) Code A. Establish communication between Cat ET and the ECM. B. The ETI code is located in the "Status" screen under "Enhanced Troubleshooting Information (ETI) - ARD". Record the Enhanced Troubleshooting Indicator (ETI) code. ETI codes are not available for (2) or -18 codes. |
Recorded ETI Code |
Result: Record the ETI code if present. Proceed to Test Step 3. |

3. Check for External Leaks A. Check for external leaks. Inspect the fuel lines from the pump to the fuel manifold. Check for pinched lines or leaking lines. |
External Leaks |
Result: A leak or pinched line was not found. Proceed to Test Step 4. Result: A leak or pinched line was found. Repair: Repair all damaged lines or leaking lines. Perform the "ARD Ignition Test" by using Cat ET. Refer to System Operation and Testing and Adjusting, "ARD Fuel System - Test". If the "ARD Ignition Test" was successful, return the unit to service. If the ARD ignition test was not successful, Proceed to Test Step 4. |

4. Check for Electrical Power at the ARD Fuel Pump A. Turn the keyswitch to ON. Do not start the engine. B. Establish communication between Cat ET and the ECM. Select "Fuel Priming Command Override" or use the manual priming switch (if equipped) in order to activate the ARD fuel pump. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Cat ET Service Features" for information about service features. C. Check for voltage between pin 1 and pin 2 on the connector to the fuel priming pump. Check the voltage while the pump is in override. Voltage is not present unless the pump is priming. D. Deactivate the override. E. Turn the keyswitch to OFF. F. Check the voltage at the battery. |
Voltage within 3 VDC of the Battery Voltage |
Result: The voltage at the ARD fuel pump is within 3 VDC of the battery voltage. Proceed to Test Step 5. Result: The voltage at the ARD fuel pump is not within 3 VDC of the battery voltage. Repair: Refer to the ARD Nozzle Heater Test and machine troubleshooting schematic in order to troubleshoot the circuit for the priming pump. |

5. Check the Pump A. Turn the keyswitch to "OFF". B. Disconnect the ARD fuel line from the pump. C. Install the required parts listed in Table 2 at the outlet port of the pump. 1. Start the engine. 2. Select the "Aftertreatment Fuel Pump Relay Override" in Cat ET in order to activate the pump. 3. Override the pump and record the pressure from the pressure gauge. 4. Deactivate the override. 5. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position. The pressure must be within specifications. The pump pressure must be |
Result: The pump is not within specifications. Repair: Refer to Troubleshooting, "ARD Fuel Supply - Test" for troubleshooting information. Result: The pump is within specifications. If you are troubleshooting an E1052 (2) or 3480-18 diagnostic code, proceed to Test Step 6. If you are troubleshooting a E1053 (2) or 4077-18 diagnostic code, proceed to Test Step 8. Result: The pump is within specifications. If you are troubleshooting a E1052 (1) or 3480-17 diagnostic code or a E1053 (1) or 4077-17 diagnostic code with an ETI of 2 or 3, proceed to Test Step 6. |
|
6. Replace the Filter for the ARD Fuel Manifold A. Replace the filter for the ARD fuel manifold. B. Reset all active codes and clear all logged codes by cycling the keyswitch to OFF. C. Perform the "ARD Ignition Test" by using Cat ET. Refer to System Operation and Testing and Adjusting, "ARD Fuel System - Test". The ARD Ignition Test cannot be performed if the DPF soot loading is above 80%. When the DPF soot loading is above 80%, the Manual DPF Regeneration must be performed using Cat ET. |
Filter replacement |
Result: The "ARD Ignition Test" was successful and no codes were logged. Return the unit to service. STOP. Result: The "ARD Ignition Test" was not successful. If you are troubleshooting an E1052 (1) or 3480-17 code with an ETI of 2, Proceed to Test Step 7. Result: The "ARD Ignition Test" was not successful. If you are troubleshooting an E1053 (1) or 4077-17 code with an ETI of 2, Proceed to Test Step 8. |
