E360 Low Engine Oil Pressure

SMCS - 1348-038-LP
EID E360

Conditions Which Generate This Code:

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects a problem with the engine's oil pressure. Information
on default settings and ranges for these event codes can be found in troubleshooting with an event
code Troubleshooting, "Event Codes".

System Response:

The event code will be logged.

Possible Performance Effect:

360(1)

• There are no performance effects.

360(3)

• The engine may be derated or the engine may be shut down.

Note: For certain applications, the ECM may only derate the engine. The ECM will notify the
operator that the condition exists and that the engine must be shutdown.

Troubleshooting:

There may be a problem with the engine's lubrication system.

Test Step 1. Check the Engine's Lubrication System

not have the ability to supply enough lubrication to the engine components. If the engine oil
level is low, add engine oil in order to obtain the correct engine oil level.

B. Check the following problems that may occur to the engine oil pump:

a. Air leakage in the supply side of the oil pump will also cause cavitation and loss of oil
pressure. Check the supply side of the oil pump and make necessary repairs.

b. Oil pump gears that have too much wear will cause a reduction in oil pressure. Repair the
engine oil pump.

c. If the engine is equipped with a scavenge pump, the scavenge pump may not be
supplying oil to the main engine oil pump.

C. The inlet screen of the oil suction tube for the engine oil pump can have a restriction. This
restriction will cause cavitation and a loss of engine oil pressure. Check the inlet screen on the
oil pickup tube and remove any material that may be restricting engine oil flow. Low engine oil
pressure may also be the result of the oil pickup tube that is drawing in air. Check the joints of
the oil pickup tube for cracks or a damaged O-ring seal.

D. If the engine oil bypass valves are held in the open position, a reduction in the oil pressure can
be the result. This may be due to debris in the engine oil. If the engine oil bypass valves are
stuck in the open position, remove each engine oil bypass valve and clean each bypass valve in
order to correct this problem. You must also clean each bypass valve bore.

E. Engine oil that is contaminated with fuel or coolant will cause low engine oil pressure. High
engine oil level in the crankcase can be an indication of contamination.

F. Excessive clearance at engine bearings will cause low engine oil pressure. Check the engine
components for excessive bearing clearance.

G. An oil line that is open, broken, or disconnected will cause low engine oil pressure.

Expected Result:

An inspection of the engine's lubrication system indicated a problem.

Results:

• OK - There is a problem in the engine's lubrication system.

Repair: Repair the problem. Ensure that the repair eliminates the problem.
