Who needs this C15 coolant temperature DTCs manual

Diesel mechanics and workshop owners diagnosing a C15 engine that displays DTC 0110-00 with an illuminated check engine lamp or warning lamp will find this document essential. It is also critical for technicians using Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) software who need to understand the derate conditions and customer password requirements for clearing this code.

The document explains that the ECM sets diagnostic code 0110-00 when engine coolant temperature exceeds 109 °C (228 °F) for more than ten seconds and the engine has been running for at least 30 seconds. Upon activation, the status for “Engine Coolant Temperature” on Caterpillar ET will show “DIAG,” and the engine will be derated — reducing both engine power and vehicle speed proportionally to the measured temperature. If the “Engine Monitoring” parameter is programmed to “Warning,” however, engine power is not affected. A high coolant temperature lamp, if installed, will illuminate instead of the standard warning lamp. The troubleshooting procedure directs the technician to perform a cooling system check as outlined in the referenced Testing and Adjusting section.
