09300-02860 PUMP ASSY, INJECTI Denso Cross

Introduction
Do not perform any procedure in this Special Instruction until you read this information and you understand this information.This procedure is used when there is a failure of a fuel injector for a 3500 engine and the fuel injector is being returned to Caterpillar for failure analysis. The information for the injector from the field is incomplete many times, or the information for the injector from the field is not provided. Because of the lack of information, determining the root cause for the failure is much more difficult. "No Fault Found" is determined for the injector. This is frustrating for the customer, for the dealer and for Caterpillar. Following the procedures below and accurately documenting the results will provide the failure analysis group with the information that is needed to determine the root cause for the failure of an injector. This should reduce the amount of injectors that are determined "No Fault Found". A copy of the completed worksheet needs to be included in a separate sealed plastic bag with injectors that are being returned for failure analysis.This worksheet is used in conjunction with the troubleshooting steps that are outlined in the literature for the Caterpillar product that is being serviced. Using the Worksheet
Fill out the initial informationThere are five symptoms. Table 3 provides suggestions for the cause and suggestions in order to fix the problem.For example, a customer indicates that an engine is smoking. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Troubleshooting without a Diagnostic Code". After you refer to the Troubleshooting manual, and you still suspect that the fuel injectors are causing the smoke, follow the suggestions that are listed in Table 3.Initial Information
