Gospel Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I have an issue with my 2008 Monaco Knight engine @ ISC 360 exhaust overheating code (1966) It did not bring up the icon the first three time then did on the forth time, engine died took three times to restart, all the time it died was while climbing a high altitude pass Question can a sensor on the exhaust system kill the engine? And what should I do, new Class A RVer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivylog Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Good question although I would think it would derate the engine allowing it to cool down instead of killing it which would raise the water temperature. When on a long climb it’s better to manually downshift and keep the rpms around 1800 for better cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine water never got hot. The code on the computer was 1966 which relates to the exhaust system regeneration. Their are three sensor but my understanding is that they will not shut the coach down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the following that says code 1966 will shut the engine down. Looks like it was in regen and the extra heat of climbing over temped the exhaust sensor shutting down the engine. Usually you have to keep the rpms up for the regen to work. First time I’ve heard of to much heat not being good. Sounds like a one time event where the sun and the moon aligned. https://www.blog-teknisi.com/2018/10/spn-3241-fmi-0-fault-code-1966.html?m=1 Edited September 1, 2021 by Ivylog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivylog Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Might be worth replacing the inlet temp sensor referenced above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gospel Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Am going to replace all sensors, there are 3, and find out how the regeneration system function and if it's still okay. Would like to see some service info on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see some service info on it. I assume your motor is the same as mine. 07 EPA ISC 360 so following as I’ve had two issues with my regen in the past. First was DEF plugged up. Second was having a stationary regen being preformed without fans to help cool exhaust and engine shut down. Placed fans and all ok on finish regen.

Gospel Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 I need to understand the regen function better. Exactly how it functions, repair it and how to avoid the shutdowns. It has always restarted but won't pull anything until the third time. Thank God it did start and pull, was on a two lane road in the Big Horn NP. People piling up behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dl_racing427 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Regen dumps fuel into the exhaust filter, to ignite and burn out the accumulated carbon. It usually runs during highway cruising, but if you happen to slow or stop during a cycle, it can result in very high exhaust system temps. (Notice the venturi exhaust tips on newer diesel pickups. They draw in extra air to cool the exhaust stream, so it won't set someones pants on fire who happens to walk by your truck at the wrong time).

Gary Cole Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I have a tractor with the regen system. It gives me a warning that a regen is due and allows me to initiate the process manually. Do over the highway diesels give a similar warning and if so would it be prudent to initiate the cycle manually before traveling in mountainous areas?

Gary M Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 2 minutes ago, Scott 61 said: How do you do a manual Regen Thank you The only time a manual regen should be done is if your coach is not automatically doing them at approximately every 100 hrs. To find that out u need the insite software or take it to a shop that has it and run a diagnostic on the ECM. Mine was working properly but the two previous owners may have done too much idling which will plug up your DOF and DOC filter. Some coaches in engine area have something to do a manual regen I've been told. True or not I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forced regeneration: Mechanics can carry out a forced regeneration where they burn the soot off for you. This is expensive, and can only be done 4 times before it damages the filter permanently. This was on the internet and very confusing as why doing a manual regen is worse that an automatic regen.

96 EVO Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) Never heard of that Gary. Where I worked, They had an outside DPF 'baking' station where the diesel forklifts that ran inside the warehouses would bake the DPF's on a regular basis. I guess they had a quick release system on them. Never really seen it done but maybe they threw one in the oven, and grabbed one that had come out.

A year later my coach acted the same way and the shop I ended up in checked the sensors first then attempted to do the manual regen without fans cooling the exhaust and it got so hot the ECM shut the engine down. Long story short, that wasn’t the problem, it turned out the VGT for the turbo failed plus the ECM needed an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96 EVO Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) Yeah, that worries me. Pretty sure my ECM has never been updated! VGT actuators seem to be a major failure point on these engines! Edited September 4, 2021 by 96 EVO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96 EVO Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) Well, I recall reading a thread by Myron, on the other forum ( think he's here as well), and he brought his same year ISL to a Cummins shop, they threw away and sold him a new DPF $$$, and updated his ECM. He figured he lost HP, and about 1 mpg I thought...... No thank you 😁!! Edited September 4, 2021 by 96 EVO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4 hr job took two weeks and then had to take back because my generator was making a tinny sounding noise. Forgot a screw in sheetmetal cover.
