E539 High Intake Manifold Air Temperature


SMCS - 1050-038-TA

Conditions Which Generate This Code:

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects a problem with the engine's intake manifold air temperature. Information on default settings and
ranges for this event can be found in troubleshooting with an event code Troubleshooting, "Event Codes".

System Response:

The event code will be logged.

Possible Performance Effect:

E539(1)

• There are no performance effects.

E539(2)

• The engine power will be derated.

Troubleshooting

Intake manifold air temperature can be high for the following reasons:

• High ambient air temperature

• High inlet air restriction and/or high altitude

• Restriction in the exhaust system

• Faulty inlet air temperature sensor and/or circuit

Test Step 1. Perform the following Inspections

A. Check for High Ambient Air Temperature

a. Determine if the ambient air temperature is within the design specifications for the inlet air system. When ambient temperatures are too
high for the rating of the inlet air system, there is not enough of a temperature difference between the ambient air and inlet air
temperatures.

b. Determine the cause of the high inlet air temperature. Correct the situation, when possible.

B. Check for High Inlet Air Restriction and/or High Altitude Operation

When inlet air pressure is low, the turbocharger works harder in order to achieve the desired inlet manifold pressure. This increases inlet air
temperature.

a. Measure the inlet air pressure while the engine is operating under load. For specific data, refer to the Technical Marketing Information
for the engine.

b. Check for plugged air filters. Check for obstructions to the air inlet. A restriction of the air that enters the engine can cause high cylinder
temperatures. High cylinder temperatures cause higher than normal temperatures in the cooling system.

c. Replace the air filters and/or remove the obstruction from the air inlet.

d. Consider high altitude operation. The cooling capability of the cooling system is reduced at higher altitudes. A pressurized cooling
system that has been designed for the higher altitudes must be used. Ensure that the engine is configured for high altitude operation.

C. Check for Exhaust System Restriction

Check for a restriction in the exhaust system. A restriction of the air that is coming out of the engine can cause high cylinder temperatures.

Expected Result:

A problem has been found in the inlet air system and/or the related engine systems.

Results:

• OK - A thorough inspection revealed a problem.

Repair: Repair the problem.

STOP

• Not OK - A thorough inspection did not reveal a problem.

Repair: Connect Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to the service tool connector. Check Cat ET for active/logged diagnostic codes related
for the inlet air system. If an active/logged code is found, refer to the appropriate troubleshooting procedure.

STOP
