To determine if a restricted oil cooler is causing low oil pressure, perform the following steps:
Connect to DDDL 7.0.
Start and run the engine at 1800 rpm.
Run the engine at 1800 rpm with a no-load for approximately 5 minutes, allowing the engine coolant to reach normal operating range, 88 - 96°C (190 - 210°F).
If DDDL 7.0 is indicating a lubricating oil temperature greater than 110°C (230°F). Shut down the engine and repair oil cooler; refer to "2.6.1 Oil Cooler Repair"
.
Section 2.6.1 Oil Cooler Repair
Perform the following steps to repair the oil cooler:
