Troubleshooting
NOTE: Read the Safety chapter carefully prior to troubleshooting the engine or generator set.
Prior to performing any failure diagnosis work, it is recommended to check and record the content of the Engine Pre-Work Checklist in order to check the engine’s state of use.
The Kubota Engine Park (KEP) website provides access to additional resources for operating, servicing and troubleshooting Kubota engines. From here, a user can download Diagmaster diagnosis software, application manuals, and service manuals. Contact a Carrier service engineer to request login credentials.
KEP can be accessed by visiting https://ba.engine.kubota.com/web/guest/home
The engine diagnosis procedures in this section involve connecting a computer to the engine ECU and using Diagmaster software to check engine conditions and measurements. Refer to the Diagmaster chapter for detailed installation and operating procedures.

•If continuity is abnormal, repair or replace the wire harness (connectors).
5.13.41Checking the Operation of a Relay - Starter Relay
This procedure is for checking the relay separately and deciding whether the relay is the problem. This involves 3 tests: measuring voltage, checking continuity, and measuring resistance. Relay specifications vary with the engine; this procedure is a general failure diagnosis of a starter relay. This procedure is related to DTC code P081A.
1.Measure voltage. Turn the ignition switch to RUN and measure the voltage of the glow relay between relay terminals 3 and 4. The voltage should be equivalent to the generator set battery voltage value.
•If voltage is normal, check the ECU connectors. See Section 5.13.47.
•If voltage is abnormal, replace the starter relay.
2.Check continuity. Remove the connector of the coolant temperature sensor and connect a dummy resistor.
NOTE: The dummy resistor: 15 to 25 kΩ [comparable to approximately -30 to -20°C (-22 to -5°F). The glow relay comes on when the coolant temperature is below 21°C (70°F).
3.Turn the ignition switch to RUN and check continuity between the starter relay terminals 1 and 2. There must be continuity.
•If continuity is normal, check the ECU connectors. See Section 5.13.47 for procedure.
•If continuity is abnormal, replace the starter relay.
4.Measure resistance. Disconnect the starter relay from the connector.
5.Measure the resistance between the starter relay terminals 3 and 4. Verify the resistance is within specification.
•If resistance is normal, check the ECU connectors. See Section 5.13.47 for procedure.
•If resistance is abnormal, replace the starter relay.
5.13.42Checking DTCs and Rewriting Trim Data
If trim data is written, such as when the ECU is replaced, it may fail. If so, retry doing it. This procedure is related to DTC code P1990.
Refer to the Diagmaster chapter for detailed operating procedures for using Diagmaster.
1.Turn the ignition switch to RUN position.
2.Connect a computer to the ECU and open Diagmaster software.
3.Bring up the DTC screen and clear the DTC(s).
4.Check whether or not the same DTC is detected. An electromagnetic interference (EMI) may have caused the temporary malfunction.
•If the DTC is not detected, then the system has recovered.
•If the DTC is detected again, then continue to next step of this procedure.
5..Write trim data correctly to the ECU.
6.Clear the DTC
7.Turn the ignition switch OFF and then back to RUN.
8.Check whether or not the same DTC is detected. If same DTC is detected and can not be cleared, replace the ECU.
5.13.43Checking DTCs and the Atmospheric Pressure Sensor
The atmospheric pressure sensor is built into the ECU, so a simple check can not be performed. Check the DTC to determine whether it is damaged. This procedure is related to DTC codes P2228 and P2229.
Refer to the Diagmaster chapter for detailed operating procedures for using Diagmaster.
1.Turn the ignition switch to RUN position.
2.Connect a computer to the ECU and open Diagmaster software.
3.Bring up the DTC screen and clear the DTC(s).
4.Check whether or not the same DTC is detected. An electromagnetic interference (EMI) may have caused the temporary malfunction.
•If the DTC is not detected, then the system has recovered.
•If the DTC is detected again, then the atmospheric pressure sensor is damaged. Replace the ECU.
5.13.44Checking DTCs after a Pressure Limiter Failure
This procedure is related to DTC code P2293.
Refer to the Diagmaster chapter for detailed operating procedures for using Diagmaster.
1.Turn the ignition switch to RUN position.
2.Connect a computer to the ECU and open Diagmaster software.
3.Bring up the DTC screen and clear the DTC(s).
4.Turn the ignition OFF and then back to RUN.
5.Turn the ignition to START to start the engine.
6.Check whether or not the same DTC is detected. An electromagnetic interference (EMI) may have caused the temporary malfunction.
•If the DTC is not detected, then the system has recovered.
•If the DTC is detected again, then replace the ECU
5.13.45Checking DTCs and CAN2 Related Wiring
This procedure is related to DTC code U0075.
Refer to the Diagmaster chapter for detailed operating procedures for using Diagmaster.
1.Turn the ignition switch to RUN position.
2.Connect a computer to the ECU and open Diagmaster software.
3.Bring up the DTC screen and clear the DTC(s).
4.Check whether or not the same DTC is detected. An electromagnetic interference (EMI) may have caused the temporary malfunction.
•If the DTC is not detected, then the system has recovered.
•If the DTC is detected again, then continue to the next step of this procedure.
5.Disconnect the CAN2 connector and the ECU from the connector.
NOTE: The position and shape of the CAN2 connector varies with specifications.
6.Check the continuity of the harness between the CAN2 connector terminal and ECU terminal 62, 63. All harnesses must have continuity.
•If continuity is normal, replace the ECU.
•If continuity is abnormal., repair or replace any abnormal areas.
7.Check for short circuits between the terminals of CAN2 connector and those of the ECU by testing the continuity between body ground and each terminal 62, 63.
•If no shorts are present, replace the ECU.
•If shorts are present, repair or replace any abnormal areas.
5.13.46Checking DTCs and CAN1 Related Wiring

•No breakage or bending
•No foreign matter adhering
2.Inspect the state of the ECU connector at the harness side for the following items:
•ECU connector pins must fit together securely
•No foreign matter adhering
