Caterpillar Cat ET Error Code CID 267 FMI 4

Caterpillar Generator Critical Engine

Model: Cat ET / EMCP 4.x | Code: 267-4

Applicable Systems
EMCP 4.2

Symptoms

CID 267 (EGR Temperature): Voltage below normal or shorted low. The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET) displays this fault. Machine operation may be derated or shut down depending on severity.

Possible Causes

  • Sensor or actuator for EGR Temperature failed or out of range
  • Wiring harness for CID 267 circuit open, shorted, or corroded
  • ECM parameter for EGR Temperature out of calibration
  • Mechanical or hydraulic issue affecting the component

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1: Connect Cat ET and read active fault codes for CID 267
    Fault code 267-4 displayed with timestamp and component data
  2. Step 2: Inspect wiring harness and connector for CID 267 (EGR Temperature)
    Wiring intact, connector clean and seated
  3. Step 3: Test EGR Temperature sensor or actuator output
    Output within Caterpillar specification range
  4. Step 4: Check ECM for stored parameters and calibrate if needed
    Parameters within factory specification
  5. Step 5: Clear fault with Cat ET and verify no re-occurrence
    Fault cleared and does not return after test cycle

How to Reset

To reset: 1) Correct the underlying fault for CID 267. 2) Press FAULT RESET on the EMCP panel or clear via Cat ET. 3) Verify machine returns to normal operation. Caution: Do not reset without repairing the fault as the machine may operate in derated mode.

Frequently Asked Questions
