D-Day Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 We had trouble with the 2000 CH 613 E7 460 same problem shutting down until it got worse and was difficult to get started again I had to replace the engine wiring harness and both oil pressure sensors after checking the 2 big connections at the ECM there was oil there it was being pushed through the wiring harness until it started shutting down injectors 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vmac3 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Sounds like its an intermittent problem. To answer your question, no. The ECM sees an electrical fault (open circuit). Try leaving it unplugged and see if the shutdown light turns on. Is the malfunction indicator light on? Coolant temp will cause it to shutdown as well. There should be 2 sensors at the rear of the water manifold. The one sensor at the very back of the water manifold is the coolant temp sensor. Unplug it and see if the trucks shuts down. Hope this helps V 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 and then look inside the sensor plugs (sensor side) to see which one(s) is feeding the wires.. jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Mike, have you put a gauge on the oil gallery to see if oil pressure is good and stays good? jojo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackpro Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I believe on your year RD, the oil pressure guage is mechanical ( braided line coming off filter stand going into cab / back of guage) . The engine ECM could care less about the guage , its looking at the signal coming from the oil pressure sensor. Without at diagnostic reader of some sorts ( JPro , tech tool or the old VMAC 3 program) you can’t see what oil psi the engine ECM is seeing even though your guage reads good. Most trucks your year were only set to shut down on low oil pressure or high water temp. But the low coolant level shut down could also be turned on as well .

theakerstwo Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I saw one RD that had same problem and it was found to have a bad or loose connection in the harness pass thru connector on right side firewall. 1 Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
