Applicable truck models

This troubleshooting procedure applies to Caterpillar on-highway truck engines in the 3406E, C-10, and C-12 families, specifically serial prefixes 8YS, 9NS, 5DS, and 1LW. The configuration referenced in the document is the C-12 Truck Engine 9NS00001-UP.

Who needs this CAT 3406E intake temperature manual

Fleet mechanics, independent diesel technicians, and workshop owners working on CAT-powered trucks will need this document when DTC 0105-00 appears on the electronic service tool. It is essential for anyone diagnosing high intake manifold air temperatures on 3406E, C-10, or C-12 engines.

The ECM triggers this code when the intake manifold air temperature exceeds 90 °C (194.0 °F) for more than four seconds, the engine has been running for at least 30 seconds, and the engine coolant temperature is above 99 °C (210.0 °F). The system response includes displaying “DIAG” next to the status for “Intake Manifold Air Temperature” on the electronic service tool. The warning lamp or check engine lamp activates depending on how the “Engine Monitoring Lamps” parameter is programmed. Customer passwords are required to clear this diagnostic code.

The primary diagnostic step directs the technician to inspect the air-to-air aftercooler for debris or restriction. If no restriction is found, the technician should investigate other causes of elevated temperatures such as heavy loads and high ambient air temperatures. If restrictions are present, they must be removed and the repair verified before closing out the code.
