Why MTU Engine does not reach nominal speed?
- C
  Carmen DavisSep 7, 2025
  If your MTU Engine does not reach nominal speed, it could be due to excessive load, a clogged air filter, a clogged fuel prefilter, a clogged easy-change fuel filter, faulty engine wiring, a faulty injector, or excessive exhaust back pressure. To address this, reduce the load, check the signal ring position of the service indicator, replace the air filter, drain the fuel prefilter, replace the fuel filter element, check the engine wiring, replace the injector, or check the SCR system. If problems persist, contact Service.

Why MTU Engine turns on starting, but does not fire?
- J
  Joy BranchSep 5, 2025
  If your MTU Engine turns on starting but does not fire, it could be due to poor rotation by the starter because of a low or faulty battery, faulty engine wiring, or a faulty Engine Control Unit. To resolve this, charge or replace the battery and check the engine wiring. If those steps don't work, replace the Engine Control Unit, or contact Service.

What to do if MTU Engine does not turn when starter is actuated?
- S
  Samantha ClarkSep 4, 2025
  If your MTU Engine does not turn when the starter is activated, it could be due to several reasons: a low or faulty battery, faulty cable connections, issues with the engine wiring, loose assemblies or connectors on the LOP, loose plug-in connections on the Engine Control Unit or Engine Interface Module (EIM), a faulty fuse F1 in the engine wiring harness, or a blocked running gear. To resolve this, charge or replace the battery, ensure cable connections are secure, check the engine wiring, visually inspect the assemblies, and check the plug connections on the Engine Control Unit and Engine Interface Module. Also, inspect the fuse and replace it if necessary. If the running gear is blocked, contact Service.

How to fix water alarm on MTU Engine?
- S
  Samantha PottsSep 4, 2025
  If the maximum water level is reached, the water level electrode opens the water drain valve, discharging water. If the valve's opening time exceeds 4 minutes, the pump shuts off and triggers the water alarm. To address this, first, acknowledge the alarm by pressing the illuminated 'Water alarm' button. Additionally, you can manually drain the water by pressing the illuminated 'Water drain' button, which opens the water drain valve.
