Caterpillar Injector and Intake Valve Actuator Solenoid Test

This instruction show you guide on how to use Cat ET diagnostic software to perform injector solenoid and intake valve actuator solenoid test for Caterpillar machine.

Cat ET Injector Solenoid Test function can be used to verify the operation of the injector solenoid on one or all cylinders. Similarly, the Intake Valve Actuator Solenoid test can be used to verify the operation of the intake valve actuator solenoid on one or all cylinders. These tests provide a method for finding wiring or solenoid problems, and they are performed in the same manner. When either test is completed, the data can be analyzed to determine if all of the cylinders are running effectively.
