Hi I ve got a l3901 5 or 6 years old with 58 hours it has a p2294 code coming up. It will run for exactly 3 minutes and die. It will run idle or full throttle until it warms up to operating temperature. Once reaching operating temperature it will only idle. It will start and run for 3 minutes at a time all day long. It is also beeping while running. I've searched all over wiring harness for a problem and haven't found any damage. If anyone knows exactly what this code means it would be a great help.

are you sure the code is P2294?

in the 3901 work shop manual that code does not seem to appear? (or I cann't find it)

If you re-check and find it is different, send me a pm and I will look it up in the WSM. That way I won't miss your response.

Sorry could not find P2294 it goes P2293 then jumps to P2413 in my manuals.

P2294 is a problem with pressure limiter frequently opening. The "detection item" is "Rail pressure valve has no much enough reliability". In Japanese English. The limp home action is as you described.

You're gonna have to hook up to diagmaster and see what the rail pressure sensor is seeing, and what is saw when it tossed the code. It has freeze frame data stored which is useful in cases like this.

Usually it's either an injector and/or a supply pump (with SCV) issue that damages the rail pressure sensor. But seeing the freeze frame data will help the tech recognize which direction to go using that data.

if less than 5yr old, send it to the dealer and ask them for emissions warranty coverage.

Jinglish.

that's one of the things I don't miss about doing kubota work. Translated literature that literally makes little sense. You have to " get creative" in trying to figure it out sometimes.

Is there an update on this topic, was it possible to repair the fault, what were the procedures to solve the problem with code P2294?
