How do you find the fault in the ABS system on truck?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That depends on which motor you have in your truck. Most vehicles will require a mechanic to hook a computer up to the truck and get the fault codes that way. Detroit Diesel has a feature where you can read the fault codes on the dash, but you'd still need to contact a mechanic to find out exactly what the fault codes given mean. Although the ABS is a separate system from the drivetrain, all the sensors input into the engine computer, and are read from that.

In many cases, you'll get an ABS warning when there's nothing wrong with the ABS at all, but instead, it'll be because of damage to one of the ABS sensors.

What are the differences between a 90ps and a 125ps di engine other than turbo pump and injectors?

Asked by Wiki User

It could be a completely different engine; without knowing what engines you're comparing it's hard to say. On a lot of diesels the only differences between power ratings are the fuel system, so it very well could be the fuel rail is the only difference.

Are commercial vehicles required to have air conditioning?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No they are not required to have A/C.

Some Unions do require the company that owns the vehicle to have some kind of air conditioning. Whether it's heat in the Snow belt or A/C in the Sun belt.

What amount of hp is 179cc?

Asked by Wiki User

It all depends on what vehicle you are referring to.

The CC indicates the volume of gas (V) swept by the piston in the combustion chamber during each powerstroke. To know the brake power, whose unit is horsepower, (BP), you must also know the frictional power (FP), engine rpm (N) and combustion chamber mean effective presure (P).

BP = P x V x N / (60n) - FP
where n = 2 for 4 stroke engines (as one power stroke per 2 revolutions of the engine), 1 for 2 stroke engines
[All except N are in SI units]

How do you reset the codes on a 2001 peterbilt?

Asked by Wiki User

You get the software for the engine (e.g., DDEC for Detroit, Insite for Cummins, and I'm drawing a blank remembering what it is for Cat) and a diagnostic connector (such as NexIQ or Inline for Cummins), pull up the fault codes, and reset them. Now, if it's something which is going to be recurring, those codes will come back until you repair the fault (if they clear at all).

if you are good with a reverse drill bit and a easy out kit measure the new plug to see how deep to drill mark your drill bit with tape for a depth mark if not take off the head its not worth dropping a tip in the cylinder next time heat the surrounding block with a torch to losen the oxidation buildup from 2 different metals reacting with each other

How do you check for water pump leakin in oil on Cat C-12 engine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Are you looking for a coolant leak? There's a number of ways to do this. You could look for visible drips. You could spray the water pump and hoses with a mixture of soap and water to detect bubbles forming from a leak. If you have a blacklight, you can put a florescent dye into the coolant, let it cycle, then (in a dark environment) use the blacklight to detect the dye where it's leaking out of the cooling system.

If you're getting oil into your coolant, on the other hand, your problem probably isn't in the water pump, and could very well be in the head gasket (if you're semi-lucky), or the mixture could be due to perforation of the block or cylinder walls.

I'm really hoping for your sake that it doesn't turn out to be as bad as what I think it could be.

That depends on the configuration. European countries allow 44 tonnes for 2x4 and 2x6 tractors towing a three axle trailer, and there are several other available combinations which are permitted significantly more weight.
