◆ According to the agreement between the manufacturer and the user, if the engine has been
filled with coolant as the user requires, the coolant performance should be checked in time of
unsealing; if the coolant antifreezing ability can satisfy the needs for -30℃ or -35℃, with its
PH value and total hardness value of 7-8 (neutral) and 5-15°d [9-15°f (hardness)], then such
coolant can be further used; if the requirements are not satisfied, such coolant should be
replaced by new coolant containing antifreeze additive.
4.2 Lifting of the Diesel Engine
In time of lifting, the engine should have its crankshaft centerline kept level, with tilting or
unilateral lifting strictly prohibited. Lifting and seating should be kept slow enough (see Figure
4-1).
Correct Wrong
whether the starting system circuits are normally connected and whether the battery is sufficiently
charged. Then open the fuel tank valve, loosen the vent screw on the fuel strainer, use the hand
pump on the fuel strainer to exclude the air in the fuel system.
4.5 Starting of the Diesel Engine
◆ Turn the power switch and its power key of the vehicle to the starting positions, and place the
gear shift lever at its neutral position, and then set down to start the engine.
◆ Step down the clutch and accelerator pedals, rotate the power key to start the diesel engine, and
if the engine cannot be started in 5-10 seconds, you should wait for 1 minute and then repeat
the above-mentioned starting process. But if the engine cannot be started for 3 consecutive
times, you should stop starting it and never start it again before troubleshooting. After the
engine is started, you should pay attention to the meter readings and the oil pressure gauge
should show the pressure immediately. Take care not to let the cold engine running at its high
speed, and you should let it idling first for some time (but not for long).
◆ If the diesel engine is to be started under the condition of low temperature, auxiliary starting
devices should be used so that the relay could have the electronic heating flange working to
realize smooth starting in the environment temperature of -30℃.

WP13 Diesel Engine Series Operating Manual
◆ The operating personnel should understand the following characteristics of the diesel engine:
① In time of the maximum torque, there will be lower fuel consumption; when the speed
increases, the fuel consumption will rise.
② The torque will achieve its best value when the engine is working at its medium speed range
(1200-1600 r/min).
③ The engine power will increase as the speed increases and reach its rated power at the rated
speed.
◆ Considerations for operation in a cold environment:
① Fuel: the diesel fuel of different grades should be selected in accordance with the difference of
outdoor temperature.
② Lubricating oil: the lubricating oil of different viscosity should be selected according to the
season changes.
③ Coolant: add antifreeze additive in the cooling system and select the coolant different in grade
and quantity in accordance with changes of the outdoor temperature.
④ Starting: an auxiliary starter can be used in winter when necessary. After started, the engine
shall never be made to work at its high speed before the oil pressure and water temperature has
become normal.
⑤ Before starting in cold season, you should check the electrolyte level, viscosity and unit
voltage of the battery, and if the engine is kept idle for long at a very low temperature, the
battery should be removed and stored in a warm room.
⑥ Parking: when parking in a cold climate, you should first remove its load, then let it idling for
1-2 minutes, and then stop it until the water temperature and oil temperature have dropped, but
after stopping, the engine shall never have its coolant with antifreeze additive drained. You
must open the discharge valves or water plugs on the body, engine oil cooler cover, radiator
and water inlet pipe to drain the coolant with no antifreeze additive contained to prevent the
engine cracking due to frost.

The diesel engine allows the maximum intake resistance of 7kPa, which shall be checked when the
diesel engine is working at the rated speed and full load, and when the intake resistance reaches the
maximum allowable limit, the filter element should be cleaned or replaced according to the
provisions of the manufacturer.
Note: never use the engine in the absence of air filter. Otherwise, dirt and impurities will enter
the diesel engine to result in premature wear.
Remove the air filter element from the air filter and pat the end face to remove the dust, or you can
use compressed air to purge it (from the inside outward).

◆ Cylinder-off method: stop a cylinder to judge whether this cylinder has something wrong. In
general, stop feeding the cylinder in doubt of fault and compare the state changes of the engine
before and after the faulty cylinder has been cut off, in order to narrow the scope to find out the
fault position or reasons;
◆ Comparison method: replace some assemblies or parts to determine whether there is something
wrong.
Note:
1. It is a very careful task to judge the causes for faults of diesel engines, and before the
21
WP13 Diesel Engine Series Operating Manual
basic reasons are found out, never dismantle the diesel engine arbitrary. Otherwise, not
only the fault cannot be eliminated, but more serious problems may happen due to
improper assembly after dismantled.
2. The high-pressure fuel pump, ECU, common rail pipe, supercharger and other key parts
should not only need dedicated instrument and equipment, but also need some
experienced repairmen, so inexperienced users shall never disassemble or adjust such key
parts at will if conditions are not satisfied.
6.2 Common Faults and Troubleshooting
6.2.1 The Diesel Engine Can Not Be Started
(1) The starter does not work
The WP13 series diesel engines have their starters controlled by ECU, in time of normal work, the
ECU will output a current to drive the starting relay, and after the relay is connected, the battery will
drive the starter to start the engine. When any fault occurs, the inspection should mainly focus on
the neutral gear.
Several elements necessary for inspections: neutral switch, starting relay, and relevance between the
battery and the parking switch
◆ Check whether the neutral position is engaged
Before starting, first check whether the gear shift lever is engaged in the neutral position
◆ Check the position of the parking switch (which should be in its “OFF” state)
The parking switch is designed as an inching type, able to reset automatically. Check whether this
switch is normal.
If this switch cannot reset automatically as designed, you should check whether this switch is in its
“ON” state.
◆ Check whether the neutral switch and wiring is intact, and try to use the emergency start (with
the ignition switch pressed continuously for more than 5 seconds)
For engine with its starter controlled by ECU, in time of starting, the ECU will first determine
whether the neutral position is engaged according to the signal from the neutral switch; when the
neutral switch is damaged or bad connected, the ECU cannot receive the neutral signal and the
starter will not work.
◆ Check whether the battery cannot drive the starter due to excessively low voltage
General speaking, the battery voltage is 24V and it cannot drive the starter if the voltage is too low.
You can use the voltage tester of a multimeter to check the voltage or use a fault diagnosis
instrument to read the actual value of the “battery voltage”.
◆ Check whether the starter relay and its wiring is intact
Check whether the wiring terminal surface is contaminated with too much oxide and whether the
wiring terminal surface bolts are loose or fractured.
◆ Check whether the starter has been burnt out
Use a multimeter to check whether the starter relay is
normal Ignition key switch
◆ Check whether the ignition and starting switches
have gone bad
Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position and see whether the instrument panel indicators light up.
22
WP13 Diesel Engine Series Operating Manual
Turn the ignition key to the “Start” position and check whether the starter acts (if other reasons have
been eliminated).
Starter
(2) The rail pressure cannot be established (The starter can work normally, but it cannot
start the engine)
Vent bolt
◆ Check whether the fuel tank has its level excessively low.
This reason may be ignored more easily, so take great care.
◆ Check whether the hand pump is working normally
Press the hand pump by hand to see whether it is normal.
◆ Check whether there is air in the low-pressure fuel way and if any, eliminate it (sometimes, the
low-pressure fuel way leakage is not obvious, so you need to check it carefully).
Exhaust method: mainly exhaust the air in the strainer. Loosen the vent bolt on the strainer and
press the hand pump on the strainer by hand until there is fuel flowing out continuously from the
vent bolt.
If the diesel engine still cannot be started after the low-pressure fuel way has its air completely
exhausted, then it can be judged that the high-pressure fuel way suffers from air invasion and you
should also exhaust the air in the high-pressure fuel way.
Exhaust method: loosen the high-pressure fuel pipe of a cylinder, and use the starter to drive the
diesel engine to run until there is fuel flowing out continuously from the high-pressure fuel pipe! (It
is not recommended that you often remove the joints of the high-pressure fuel pipe!)
◆ Check whether the high-pressure fuel way has any leakage
This usually can be seen obviously. Check whether the high-pressure fuel pipe has its joint nuts
loose, and if so, tighten the nuts.
◆ Check whether the fuel way is smooth, check whether the diesel fuel filter is blocked, and
replace the diesel filter element in time as suggested.
Inspection method: loosen the filter outlet bolts, use the starter to drive the diesel engine to run, see
whether there is diesel fuel spraying or flowing out, if only a small amount of diesel fuel flows out,
it can be determined that the filter element is blocked, and at this time, you need to replace the filter
element.

If no inspection equipment is available, unplug the rail pressure sensor connector and try restarting
it (after started, let it enter the “limp home mode”).
◆ Check whether the flow measurement unit is intact, unplug the flow measurement unit
connectors and try starting it again.
① Firstly, observe whether there is any hardware damage and whether the connectors are firmly
connected.
② Connect the fault diagnosis instrument to complete the Meter-unit test.
Enter the operation interface of the fault diagnosis instrument, select the “function test” and click

③ The water tank is blocked: check the water tank and clean or repair it.
④ The water pump belt is loose: adjust the tension as provided
⑤ The water pump has its gaskets and impellers damaged or worn: check and repair or replace
the faulty parts.
⑥ Thermostat fault: replace it.
⑦ The water pipe has its sealing elements damaged with air invasion: check the water pipe, joints
and gaskets, and replace the damaged parts.
◆ Reason and troubleshooting of excessively high oil temperature
① The oil sump has insufficient oil or a low oil level: check the oil level and leakage. Repair it
and add more oil.
② High water temperature: troubleshoot it immediately.
③ The oil cooler cannot work smoothly: check and clean it.
◆ Reason and troubleshooting of excessively high intake temperature
Check the cooling capacity of the intercooler
(3) Synchronization signal error
If this error appears, one sensor generally has its signal invalid.
Read out the flash code by means of the flash code indicator and refer to the table for flash codes to
find out the specific reasons, with the troubleshooting measures identical to 9.2.1-4.
(4) Flow measurement unit fault
The flow measurement unit installed on the high-pressure fuel pump is an actuator to control the rail
pressure, and after it goes wrong, the high-pressure fuel pump will feed the common rail pipe at its
greatest capacity. At this moment, the relief valve on the common rail pipe will generally be open
and the engine will be “clicking”. Similar phenomenon will also appear when the rail pressure
sensor has fault.
◆ Troubleshooting: overhaul the circuits to confirm that the flow measurement unit or the rail
pressure sensor has failed, and notify the Office for further treatment.
(5) The rail pressure fluctuates abnormally due to leakage of the fuel pipeline
During running, the vehicle speed may become instable and the vehicle may be stampeding forward
occasionally.
◆ Troubleshooting
29
WP13 Diesel Engine Series Operating Manual
First cut off the power supply and start the engine again in a minute. If the problem is still kept as
usual, check the fuel pipeline air tightness and troubleshoot it.
(6) Sensor fault
The intake pressure sensor (installed on the intake manifold) is used by the ECU to estimate the air
intake, the water temperature sensor (installed on the water pump) is used to judge the thermal load
of the engine, and the rail pressure sensor (installed on the common rail pipe) is used to detect the
fuel pressure of the common rail pipe.
Water temperature
sensor
◆ Troubleshooting
Check the intake temperature and pressure, water temperature and rail pressure sensors to see
whether the connectors are installed firmly.
Note: When the fault (1, 3, 4, 5 or 6) appears, the diesel engine will enter its “limp home
mode”.
6.2.4 The engine is always running at 1000rpm
At this moment, the accelerator has become invalid: the ECU will judge the load by means of the
signal given by the pedal potentiometer, and when the pedal is faulty, for sake of security, the ECU
will control the diesel engine to automatically return to idling at 1000rpm.
◆ The electronic accelerator pedal line is loose or wrongly connected
Plug it again or check whether the accelerator wiring is correct and connect the line again.
◆ The electronic accelerator has its connectors flooded by water
