C13, C15, and C18 Engines/ ARD Is Disabled

ARD Is Disabled
Use this procedure in order to troubleshoot a failed aftertreatment regeneration or use this
procedure if one of the following event codes are active. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Event
Codes" for information about event codes. For information on the engine monitoring system,
refer to Troubleshooting, "Engine Monitoring System".
Active regenerations usually occur during normal engine operation. However, engine
operation or operator desire may cause the operator to activate the force regeneration
switch. This switch signals the Engine Electronic Control Module (ECM) that a forced
regeneration is desired. The engine ECM will determine the status of the engine and the
products operating condition and determine if it is okay to begin an active regeneration. The
elapsed time is approximately 5 seconds for the engine ECM to determine if the conditions are
acceptable for an active regeneration to begin.
If conditions allow that an active regeneration may begin, the ECM will illuminate the
appropriate indicators and begin the active regeneration. If conditions will not allow an
active regeneration to begin, the ECM will illuminate the Action Lamp and annunciate one of
the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). The code will appear on the Messenger
Display. The code will also be displayed on Cat ET.
Note: One forced regeneration per key cycle is permitted if a failure to ignite, insufficient
temperature to complete regeneration, or loss of combustion diagnostic trouble code is
active. This determines if the regeneration can run and clear the event.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results

1. Check for Diagnostic Codes that
are Active

A. Establish communication

Diagnostic
code


Result: A E1239 (1), E1239 (2),
E1239 (3), 3750-31, 3750-17 or
3750-18 diagnostic code is
present, proceed to Test Step 2.
between Cat ET and the Electronic
Control Module (ECM). Refer to
Troubleshooting, "Electronic
Service Tools", if necessary.

B. Download the "Warranty Report"
from the engine ECM before
performing any troubleshooting or
clearing diagnostic trouble codes.

C. Check and record any event codes
that are active or logged.


Result: A E993 (3) or 3703-31
diagnostic code is present,
proceed to Test Step 3.

Result: A E1040 (2) or 3530-31
diagnostic code is present,
proceed to Test Step 4.

Result: A E1300 (1) or 3716-15
diagnostic code is present,
proceed to Test Step 5.

Result: A E1301 (1) or 3712-15
diagnostic code is present,
proceed to Test Step 6.

Result: A E1302 (1) or 3750-15

low for an aftertreatment
regeneration.


Low engine
temperature


Result: Raise the coolant
temperature above
40 C (104 F ) and the Diesel
Particulate Filter inlet
temperature above
50 C (122 F). If the ambient
temperature is
15 C (5 F) or below, the
coolant temperature must be
above
60 C (140 F) for an active
regeneration to begin.

Return the unit to service.


6. Aftertreatment Regeneration
Cannot Start Due to System Fault

A. Establish communication
between the Caterpillar Electronic
Technician (ET) and the engine
Electronic Control Module (ECM).

B. Check for active faults related to
the ARD combustion air system,
ARD fuel system, or ARD ignition
system.


System Fault


Result: Troubleshoot all active
faults related to the ARD
combustion air system, ARD
fuel system, or ARD ignition
system. Clear any active codes
after correcting the faults.
Activate regeneration.

Return the unit to service.


7. Aftertreatment Regeneration
Cannot Start Due to Conditions
Not Met

A. Check for the following
conditions:

1. Soot load is too low (15%)
2. Soot load is too high (116% plus
10 minutes after getting a level 3
high soot warning)

and the "Time to Regenerate" is
greater than 8 hours
4. Incorrect work mode conditions
(parking brake is not set,
transmission is not in neutral)
5. Engine speed and load conditions
inhibit the forced regeneration
request
6. Excessive DPF intake
temperature. This can be caused by
high engine speed and/or high load
7. Regenerations are not disabled
8. For Industrial applications, Refer
to the OEM wiring schematic to
ensure that the CEM is wired
correctly for automatic regenerations
if applicable
9. An active derate, pressure based
or temperature-based event codes

Unacceptable
conditions

Result: Correct any of the listed
conditions. Activate
regeneration.
For Industrial Applications: If
an excessive DPF intake
temperature is present, reduce
engine speed and/or load and
perform a low speed
regeneration

Return the unit to service.


8. Initial Assembly Aftertreatment
#1 Regeneration Required

A. Establish communication
between the Caterpillar Electronic
Technician (ET) and the engine
Electronic Control Module (ECM).

B. Under the "Information" menu,
select "Current Totals". Record the
"Total Operating Hours".
