Cat C5000 fault code E-43

Help... Code E-43. Its not in the book and we have tried almost everything. We need to know what the code is and where to go from here. We believe it has to do with the LPG fuel ratio but we don't know how to clear it.

David,
by changing the battery all that did was drain the power from the ecm/vcm and doing that causes all the stored codes to clear. If it is a persistent problem the code will return.

I had the same problem and as soon as I changed the battery it went away.

Areas of concern that have caused this code to set are as follows:
- Leaking air horn between the mass air flow sensor and the injection holder
( quantity 2 ). Loose bolts found.
Air leak.


- Failed air temperature sensor ( integral part of the mass air flow sensor assembly) (
quantity 4 ).


- Air temperature sensor read -45 degree C. when actual air temperature was 30 to 36
degree C..
This is an open in the Air temperature sensor circuit.


- Leaking cup seal between the injection holder and the throttlebody.
Seal was cut or folded. ( quantity 11 ).
Air Leak.


- Blocked filter in the injection holder. Fuel restriction

Suspect cracked by backfiring.


- Air Leaks and loss of fuel delivery to the cylinders.

What i used to do all day now takes me all day to do.
E 43 is an air fuel ratio problem. Check for vacuum leaks or anything that could cause the air fuel mixture to be off. Check your O2 sensor signal wire it should fluctuate between.200 milivolts lean and.800 milivolts rich. Pinch off fuel line to see if it changes if rich or spray lp around intake if lean. You could also have an under reporting dirty MAF sensor if you are running lean.
