Yanmar 3JH4E, 4JH4AE, 4JH4-TE, 4JH4-HTE Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar JH4 series coolant high temperature alarm sounding and engine running hot under load p. 85
Inspect the seawater system and check for a blocked pickup. Verify the maximum allowable coolant temperature is below 95˚C (203˚F) on page 30. Replace the seawater pump impeller every 1000 hours as instructed on page 64. Clean the heat exchanger and strainer.
Manual Section: Coolant High Temperature AlarmAbnormal exhaust color showing heavy black smoke and engine cannot gain RPM when advancing throttle p. 87
Reduce throttle immediately to correct engine overload condition. Inspect the intake silencer for dirt restriction. Drain the fuel tank and fill with fresh diesel meeting a minimum fuel Cetane number of 45 or higher as specified on page 34. Check propeller matching.
Manual Section: Abnormal Exhaust Color: Black smokeEngine consuming excessive oil and producing white exhaust smoke with runaway high RPM p. 85
Check the engine oil level and drain excess fluid to prevent oil from entering the combustion chamber. Fill the 4JH4-HTE to the effective oil capacity of 2.4 L (2.5 qt) found on page 104. Inspect the crankcase breather system for blockages.
Manual Section: Troubleshooting ChartStarter turns over but engine does not start or runs poorly after routine maintenance p. 86
Bleed the fuel system to remove trapped air. Inspect the drive belts and adjust the alternator V-belt deflection to 8 - 10 mm (3/8 in.) as shown on page 68. Verify the fuel filter is properly secured and fuel lines are tight.
Manual Section: Starting Failures: Starter turns but engine does not startFrequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the alarm on a YANMAR 3JH4E / 4JH4AE / 4JH4-TE / 4JH4-HTE engine?
The manual indicates that if an alarm sounds during operation, the engine speed should be lowered immediately, warning lamps checked, and the engine stopped for repairs. Under normal starting conditions, the alarm sounds briefly when the key is turned to ON and then stops once the engine has started and indicators go out. There is no explicit "reset" procedure for an alarm indicating a problem during operation, other than addressing the underlying issue.
What does the YANMAR engine error code mean for low oil pressure or high coolant temperature?
For low oil pressure, the engine oil low pressure indicator will light and an alarm will sound when the oil pressure falls below normal. For high coolant temperature, the coolant high temperature indicator will light and an alarm will sound when the coolant temperature reaches 95˚C (203˚F) or higher. In both cases, operation should be stopped immediately to prevent engine damage, and the respective systems should be checked.
How do I bleed the fuel system on a YANMAR 4JH4-TE?
To bleed the fuel system on a YANMAR 4JH4-TE, first check the fuel level and open the fuel cock. Then, loosen the air bleed screw (Figure 7, (2)) 2-3 turns and push the priming pump (Figure 7, (1)) up and down until a solid stream of fuel with no air bubbles flows. Finally, tighten the air bleed screw.
What are the replacement specifications for raw water pump impeller / raw water pump components?
The seawater pump impeller must be replaced periodically every 1000 hours, even if no damage is found. Special service tools like Puller A (Part No. 129671-92110) or Puller B (Part No. 129671-92100) are used for removal.
