Background Information

Perform this procedure when the engine is at normal operating temperature. Pay careful attention to the condition of the wiring and the
connectors as you perform this procedure. The wiring and/or the connectors may have problems that only occur during vibration.

Each injector for the common rail fuel system contains a solenoid. The ECM sends 105 V pulses to each injector solenoid. The pulses are
sent at the proper time and at the correct duration for a given engine load and speed.

Cooling of the Injector Solenoids

Each injector solenoid is cooled by a stream of fuel.

Trim Files

When an injector is replaced, program the new injector code into the ECM. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Injector Trim File - Install" for
information that is related to trim files. If the ECM is replaced, all of the injector codes must be programmed into the new ECM. Refer to

https://sis2.cat.com/#/print-preview/service/%257B%2522title%2522%253A%2522Injector%2520Solenoid%2520-%2520Test%2520(KENR6848-28)%2522%252C%2522formattedPublicationDate%25… 4/15

Diagnostic Tests on the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET)

Cat ET includes the following test that aids in troubleshooting injector solenoids:

Injector Solenoid Test - This test identifies an open circuit or a short circuit in the circuits for the injector solenoids. The test is performed
while the engine is not running. The "Injector Solenoid Test" briefly activates each solenoid. A good solenoid will create an audible click
when the solenoid is activated. Cat ET indicates the status of the solenoid as "OK", "Open", or "Short".

Fuel System Verification Test - This test evaluates the health of each injector. This test will determine if an injector needs to be replaced.
When the test is performed, Cat ET indicates the status of each injector as "Success" or "Failed". Perform the test immediately after
replacing an injector. Also, perform this test if a -2 code or a -7 code is active.

Note: The "Fuel System Verification Test" must be performed when the engine is running and the coolant temperature is above 65° C
(149° F).

Note: Refer to the following schematic. Two injector solenoids share a common supply wire. For this reason, an open circuit or a short
circuit in a supply wire could cause diagnostic codes for two cylinders.
