Section 17.7
High Inlet Air Temperature

To determine if high inlet air temperature is causing lack of power, perform the following:‪

1. Test the radiator fan, fan drive, or fan shroud for proper operation or configuration; refer to OEM guidelines.

   Note: The engine will be torque limited to protect the turbocharger and charge air cooler; this is normal engine operation for component protection.

2. Examine test results.
   1. If the radiator fan, fan drive, or fan shroud pass OEM test, check high altitude operation.
   2. If the radiator fan, drive or shroud did not operate correctly; refer to "17.7.1 Radiator Fan, Drive and Shroud Replacement" .
