Fuel Shutoff - Test


SMCS - 1704-038

Use this procedure to troubleshoot a problem with a solenoid valve. Also, use this procedure if one of the
following diagnostic codes is active or easily repeated.

Table 1
J1939 Code and Description Comments

The code is set when all the following are true:


- In order for the code to be set the engine must first be running
- Engine Control Switch (ECS) is placed in the STOP position and the
Engine ECM has de-energized the GSOV output.
632-7
- Engine speed greater than "Crank Terminate RPM" has been detected
Engine Fuel Shutoff Valve #1 :
and the "Engine Speed Drop Time" has been exceeded.
Not Responding Properly
The code is logged.
The red stop lamp is illuminated.
The power to the GSOV remains in the de-energized state and the ECM
inhibits cranking.

The ECM contains the logic and the outputs for control of starting the engine and stopping the engine. Some
of the logic for starting the engine and for stopping the engine is customer programmable. The logic
responds to inputs from the following components: ECS, emergency stop switch, remote start switch, data
link, and other inputs.

The ECM outputs a signal to control the solenoid for the GSOV. To enable gas flow to the engine, the GSOV
must be energized.

The most likely cause of a diagnostic code is a poor electrical connection or a problem in a wiring harness.
The next likely cause may be a problem with the solenoid. The least likely cause is a problem with the ECM.

When the 632-7 Engine Fuel Shutoff Valve #1 : Not Responding Properly occurs, the ECM assumes that the
GSOV did not close. If the GSOV does not respond to the ECM command, unburned gas will remain in the
air inlet and exhaust system.

Note: Ensure that the unburned gas is purged from the exhaust before restarting the engine. Failure to purge
the unburned gas from the engine may result in an explosion in the exhaust piping.

Verify that the repair eliminated the problem.

If the procedure did not correct the issue, contact your Cat dealer Technical Communicator (TC). For further
assistance, your TC can confer with the Dealer Solutions Network (DSN).
