Procedures:

1.Verify that the crankcase pressure is high; Refer to section “Crankcase Pressure Test” .

2Inspect the crankcase breather. Check for leaks at the inlet and outlet tubes, fittings, mounting surface to the cylinder block, and the housing-to-cap seal. Are there any external oil leaks present?

2a Yes; repair or replace the crankcase breather, if needed. Refer to section “Removal of the Crankcase Breather” and Go to step 8.

2b No; Go to step 3.

 

3.Is the vehicle slow at building air pressure?

3a Yes; Refer to section “Will Not Build Air Pressure or Slow to Build Air Pressure” .

3b No; Go to step 4.

 

WARNING

HOT EXHAUST

During parked regeneration the exhaust gases will be extremely HOT and could cause a fire if directed at combustible materials. The vehicle must be parked outside.

 

WARNING  

PERSONAL INJURY

4.Perform a parked regen and observe DOC inlet pressure. Was the DOC inlet pressure above 8 kPa (1.2 psi) for a 1-Box or above 13 kPa (1.9 psi) for a 2-Box?

4a Yes; diagnose the cause for high DOC inlet pressure and verify the repair.

4b No; Go to step 5.

 

5Inspect the crankcase breather for an obstruction in the breather inlet passage and tube? Is an obstruction present?

5a Yes; clear the obstruction or replace the crankcase breather, if needed.

5b No; replace the crankcase breather, then Go to step 8.

 

6.Verify the repair by running a crankcase pressure test

Is the crankcase pressure high?

6a Yes; Go to step 7.

6b No; Go to step 8.

 

7.Was the crankcase breather replaced at any point during this procedure?

7a Yes; Go to step 8.

7b No; replace the crankcase breather. Go to step 8.

 

8.Perform a Relative Cylinder Compression Test;Did the Relative Cylinder Compression Test identify a possible suspect cylinder?

8a Yes; Go to step 9.

8b No; repair is complete.

 

9.Perform a Mechanical Cylinder Compression Test

Did the Mechanical Cylinder Compression Test pass?

9a Yes; replace the turbocharger and verify repair.

9b No; Refer to section “Symptom Diagnostics – Low Engine Compression” .
