What This Code Means
Low Coolant Level switch #2 indicates coolant level is low in second radiator
Possible Causes
- •Configurable Input Active State Selection parameter is configured incorrectly
- •Coolant sender incorrectly wired
- •Coolant sender incorrectly wired (short or open circuit from coolant sensor to discrete configurable input)
- •Cooling system hose is collapsed, restricted, or leaking
- •Faulty Coolant Level Sensor
- •Faulty Extension Harness-Coolant Level Sensor
- •Faulty coolant level sender
- •Incorrect 'Configurable Input Active State Selection' parameter setting
- •Low Coolant
- •Low coolant
- •The 'Configurable Input Active State Selection' parameter is configured incorrectly
Suggested Actions
- 1Check for improper wiring (short or open circuit) from the coolant sensor to the discrete configurable input on the base board that was configured for 'Low Coolant Level 2 Switch' and correct the wiring
- 2Disconnect the extension harness connector from the control
- 3Go to Setup > Configurable I/O > on the operator panel and set the 'Configurable Input Active State Selection' parameter appropriately for the Configurable Input that was configured to 'Low Coolant Level 2 Switch'
- 4If coolant is below 1 in. (2.54 cm) from the top of the radiator, add manufacturer's prescribed coolant
- 5Inspect for dirt or debris in or on the connector pins
- 6Inspect for evidence of moisture in or on the connector
- 7Inspect for missing or damaged connector seals
- 8Inspect the extension harness and extension harness connector pins for corroded, bent, broken, pushed back, or expanded pins
- 9Inspect upper and lower radiator hoses for collapse, distortion, or fluid leaks
- 10Perform the checks in Generator Set Sensors
- 11Remove radiator cap and check that coolant is up to the required level
- 12Replace radiator hose if damaged or worn
- 13Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool down
- 14Through the operator panel, check and ensure the correct switch input setting (active closed or active open) for the Configurable Input configured to 'Low Coolant Level 2 Switch'
- 15Visually inspect that engine coolant is at the appropriate level through the sight glass or expansion tank
