1. Defective Temperature GaugeIf the temperature gauge shows that the coolant temperature is above normal and all other conditions indicate that conditions are normal, check the coolant temperature in another method, such as:* Read the coolant temperature with an ECAP or DDT.* Install an 8T0470 Thermistor Thermometer Group* Install a temperature sensitive tape.* Install a new gauge that is known to be good.2. Defective Coolant Temperature SensorIf a fault is detected in the coolant temperature sensor circuit, determine if the fault is in the wiring or the coolant temperature sensor following the procedure in Electronic Troubleshooting, 3176 Diesel Truck Engine, Form No. SENR3913. Repair or replace parts as needed. The coolant temperature sensor should be accurate within plus or minus 3° C (6° F). Check the accuracy of the sensor if it is found to be out of specification.3. Low Coolant LevelLow coolant level can cause overheating to occur. Low coolant level can be caused by leaks in the cooling system or by improper filling of the radiator. With the engine cool, the coolant level should be at the low end of the fill neck on the radiator. If the coolant is below this level, a visual inspection should be done to see if any leaks can be seen. If nothing obvious is seen, refer to the topic Loss Of Coolant in this section. Fill the radiator according to recommendations in the Operation & Maintenance Manual.4. Dirty RadiatorCheck for debris between the fins of the radiator core which could restrict the free flow of air through the radiator core. Also check for debris or deposits on the inside of the core which could restrict the free flow of coolant through the radiator. Clean out any debris that is found.5. Fan Belt SlippageCheck for proper fan speed with the fan engaged. Check the belt tension. Check the belt tensioner bearing and spring for proper operation. Check the belt and pulleys for lubricant contaminants which could cause belt slippage. Check the belt for hardening and glaze caused by heat and slippage. Repair or replace any defective parts that are detected.6. Defective HosesCheck the hoses for leaks, cuts and loose clamps. Check for any hoses that are collapsed or restricted that could cause a decrease in the amount of flow of coolant through the engine or radiator. Replace as necessary.7. Defective Pressure CapInspect the sealing surface of the pressure cap and the radiator. Look for any damage to the seal or the sealing surface. Remove any foreign material and replace any defective seals. Check the sealing pressure of the cap with the Cooling System Pressurization Pump Group, 9S8140. This will check the opening pressure of the cap. If the cap is defective, replace it.8. Shutters Not Functioning CorrectlyCheck the opening temperature of the shutters. The shutters must be completely open at a temperature below the fully open temperature of the water temperature regulator.9. Defective Water Temperature RegulatorIf the water temperature regulator is not opening properly it can cause the engine to
