Introduction

This Special Instruction is intended to identify the most common event codes that occur on Articulated Trucks. The Special Instruction will also outline the interpretation of the information that is shown in the transmission shift matrix. The event codes and transmission shift matrix information that is discussed in the Special Instruction can be accessed by using Caterpillar's Electrical Technician.

Event codes represent the symptom of operational problems. These event codes indicate the operation of the machine to the service technician. This Special Instruction will identify the event codes, the parameters for tripping the event codes, the possible reasons for the machine operator to trip the event codes, and the possible effects to the machine.

Event Codes

The event log records the number of different events of all the different types of event that happen on the machine. When such an event happens, the event will be recorded by the ECM as well as the time of the event. When the number of events of one type is above 127, the log is full in regard to recording events of that type. The log cannot record above 127 events, even though the possibility exists that more events are happening.

The time of the first event will always be indicated. When the log is full and an event occurs, the 127 event is replaced by the latest event and the time of the latest event is recorded.

The warning category indicator will show the warning level. This event can be seen on Caterpillar Electronic Technician. The number in the bracket that follows the event code indicates the warning level. An example is code E047 (2) which indicates a transmission abuse event at level 2. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Warning Categories".

E047-1 Transmission Abuse Event

This event is recorded when the operator shifts out of NEUTRAL or through NEUTRAL with the engine speed above the threshold.

Note: If the operator shifts the lever for the transmission control from neutral into any speed and the engine rpm is above the threshold, the directional shift management function will be activated. This action will decrease the engine speed below the threshold before the transmission is allowed to engage a gear.

Possible Causes

  • The dump body is being raised and the engine is at high idle. If, the operator then moves the transmission control into any gear this action will create an event code.

  • Driving the machine forward, stopping the machine and then selecting reverse gear before the engine RPM is below the threshold.

  • When the machine is being driven forward with the engine RPM above the threshold, the operator then moves the transmission control to either the NEUTRAL position or to the REVERSE position.

E047-2 Transmission Abuse Event

This event is active when the machine is moving above 64.5 km/h (40 mph) for 2.5 seconds. This event becomes inactive when the speed of the machine falls below 58 km/h (36 mph).

Possible Causes

  • The machine is being driven forward down a steep grade in top gear.

E049-2 Coasting in Neutral

This event is recorded when the machine speed exceeds 19 km/h (12 mph) with the transmission in NEUTRAL (Coasting in Neutral).

Possible Causes

  • When the machine is being driven at speeds above 19 km/h (12 mph), the transmission control is in the NEUTRAL position and there are no application of the brakes.

E096-2 High Fuel Pressure (Warning)

This event is recorded when the fuel pressure gauge indicates that the pressure is above 1000 kPa (145 psi).

Possible Causes

  • Fuel pressure sensor

  • Fuel lines damaged

  • Fuel transfer pump

  • Fuel return pressure regulator fault

E106-2 High Front Brake Oil Temperature Even

This event is recorded when the temperature switch for the front brakes indicates that the oil temperature is above 107° ± 3°C (225° ± 5.4°F).

Possible Causes

  • Excessive use of the brakes instead of using the retarder

E107-2 High Rear Brake Oil Temperature Event

This event is recorded when the temperature switch for the rear indicates that the oil temperature is above 107° ± 3°C (225° ± 5.4°F).

Possible Causes

  • Excessive use of the brakes instead of using the retarder

E108-2 Machine Upshift to Prevent Engine Overspeed Event

This event is recorded when the engine speed increases to a predetermined level which then sends a signal to the transmission ECM in order to upshift the transmission. The transmission will shift one gear position past the operator's selection in order to protect the engine from overspeed. This action only applies if the transmission control lever is in the FIRST GEAR position, the SECOND GEAR position or theTHIRD GEAR position.

When the transmission control lever is in the DRIVE position and the operator selects the maximum gear limit with the yellow button, the transmission will only shift one gear past the selected gear. If the operator has selected top gear and the engine speed continues to increase to a predetermined level that is above the engine overspeed, the engine will signal the transmission to disengage the lockup clutch in the torque converter. The event is also recorded when the transmission is forced to upshift past the gear limit for the body up or when the control lever is in the FLOAT position.

If the transmission control lever is in the DRIVE position and the machine down shifts, the transmission hold switch can be activated. This will hold the transmission in the preferred gear until the engine speed reaches a predetermined level. The engine will then send a signal to the transmission ECM in order to upshift the transmission.

Possible Causes

  • Selecting an incorrect gear for an incline and then driving down the incline with insufficient retardation or no retardation

E155-2 High Torque Converter Oil Temperature Event

This event is active if the oil temperature for the torque converter is above 124 °C (255 °F). This event becomes inactive when the oil temperature falls below 115 °C (239 °F).

Possible Causes

  • Excessive use of the hydraulic retarder (where used)

  • Fault in the torque converter

  • Excessive operation in torque converter drive

E179-2 Alternator Not Charging

This event becomes active when the R-term signal is less than 45Hz for greater than 5 mins whilst the engine has been as greater than 650RPM for at least 30 seconds.

Possible Causes

  • Alternator belt has snapped or is slipping

  • R-term signal harness issue

  • Alternator failure

E190-1 Engine Overspeed Event

This event is activated when the operator triggers a E108 Machine Upshift to Prevent Engine Overspeed Event. The machine has already shifted up one gear and the engine speed has now increased to a higher predetermined level.

Possible Causes

  • Selecting an incorrect gear for an incline and then driving down the incline with insufficient retardation or no retardation

Possible Causes

  • Operator does not let engine warm up before operation

  • Thermostat defective

  • Engine coolant temperature sensor defective

E232-1 High Fuel/Water Separator Water Level

The event is activated when water is detected, or when the switch is closed for more than 40 seconds. This diagnostic is designed to provide water/fuel separator status information to the operator. It will prevent water from entering the fuel system when the water/fuel separator is full.

Water in fuel sensor is programmed to Installed via CAT ET

Possible Causes

  • Fuel is contaminated with water

  • Water separator not serviced correctly

E232-2 High Fuel/Water Separator Water Level

The event is activated when water is detected, or when the switch is closed for more than 1 hour. This diagnostic is designed to provide water/fuel separator status information to the operator. It will prevent water from entering the fuel system when the water/fuel separator is full.

Possible Causes

  • Auto lube grease level is low

  • Internal fault with autolube pump

E265-2 User Defined Shutdown

This event is triggered when the ground level shutdown switch to the Electronic Control Module (ECM) has changed states. The engine will shutdown.

If the operator activated the emergency stop talk to the operator and determine the reason for the emergency stop shutdown. Confirm that the condition for the emergency stop shutdown has been resolved. Cycle the keyswitch in order to reset the control system.

If the emergency shutdown was not activated by the operator inspect the stop switches for evidence of damage that has been caused by vibration, moisture, or corrosion. Check the circuit for the shutdown switch.

Possible Causes

  • Activated shut down switch

  • Circuit for the shutdown switch fault

E273-2 Machine Operation Attempted Using an Invalid Key

This event is triggered when the MSS system has been installed on a machine but the system is unable to detect a valid key.

Possible Causes

  • Standard key being used not MSS key

  • Wrong MSS key is being used or is not registered to this machine

  • Harness fault to MSS key reader module

  • MSS key reader module has failed

E284-2 Low Brake Accumulator Pressure

This event is triggered if the brake oil accumulator pressure is low after the initial brake charge cycle is completed.

Possible Causes

  • Brake pump defect.

  • Brake charge solenoid valve failure

  • Accumulator defect

  • The park brake status is disengaged while the park switch is engaged with no engine speed

E284-3 Low Brake Accumulator Pressure

If the brake oil pressure status becomes normal with the engine running, then any brake oil pressure low warning status event will trigger this level 3 event..

Possible Causes

  • Low of pump pressure or brake charge solenoid valve failure

  • Brake accumulator failure

  • Hose failure

E326-3 Low Transmission Latching Pressure Event

  • 725 (S/N: AFX1-849), 730 (S/N: AGF1-794) and 735 (S/N: AWR1-454)

This event is recorded when the transmission pressure for the latching is too low for the corresponding engine speed of the machine. In this case, the ECM will inhibit shifting of the transmission. This action will cause the lockup clutch to disengage. The machines log this event if the machines have not been converted to a nonlatching system.

Possible Causes

  • Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, RENR3484, "Power Train Pressures".

E327-3 Low Output Transfer Gear Pressure Event

This event is recorded when the oil in the output transfer gear is above 38° ± 3°C (100° ± 5.4°F) and the pressure switch for the output transfer gear indicates low pressure below 70 ± 20 kPa (10 ± 3 psi). The ECM will measure the pressure in the output transfer gear only when the engine speed is above 1500 RPM.

Possible Causes

  • Damaged internal components within the output transfer gear

  • Low oil level

  • High oil temperature

  • Scavenge Pump

E328-3Output Transfer Gear Filter Plugged Event

This event is recorded when the oil temperature in the output transfer gear is above 38° ± 3°C (100° ± 5.4°F), and the output bypass switch on the filter for the transfer gear indicates that the filter is bypassing. Consequently without warning the operator, unfiltered oil can be allowed to enter the output transfer gear if the oil is not sufficiently warm and the filter is plugged.

Possible Causes

  • Internal component failure within the output transfer gear

  • Contamination by dirt

E329-2 Transmission Filter Plugged Event

This event is recorded when the oil temperature for the transmission has initially risen above 35° C (95° F) and the engine is running. The bypass switch on the filter for the transmission indicates that the filter is bypassing.

Possible Causes

  • Internal component failure within the transmission

  • Contamination of the transmission oil

E329-3 Transmission Filter Plugged Event

This event is recorded when the oil temperature for the transmission has initially risen above 51 °C (123.8 °F). After, the initial temperature is reached the temperature can fall to a minimum of 43 °C (109.4 °F) before the ECM stops monitoring the bypass switch. The bypass switch on the filter for the transmission indicates that the filter is bypassing. Consequently without warning the operator, unfiltered oil can be allowed to enter the transmission if the oil is not sufficiently warm and the filter is plugged. The 725, 730, and 735 machines log this event.

Possible Causes

  • Internal component failure within the transmission

  • Contamination by dirt

E330-3 Transmission Output Speed Mismatch Event

This event is recorded when the readings of the speeds from TOS1, TOS2, and COS sensors do not match. In this case, the ECM will inhibit shifting of the transmission. This action will engage the lockup clutch. The 725, 730, and 735 determines the transmission input speed from the COS. The 740 determines the transmission input speed from the status of the lockup clutch and the EOS.

Possible Causes

  • Sensor Failure

  • Faulty Wiring

  • Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, RENR3442, "Articulated Trucks Power Train Electronic Control System" and Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, RENR8035, "Articulated Trucks Power Train Electronic Control System".

Transmission Shift Matrix

Information for the Transmission

The following tables show the transmission shift matrix for a 740 (B1P) or a 740 Ejector (B1R) with a seven speed transmission. The same logic should be used when you are reading the table for all other Articulated Trucks with transmissions with different gear ranges.

Table 7
  Shifts To 
N R 1
Shifts From  ---  357  1062 
R 949  ---  138 
1 460  730  ---  1254 
2 1209  ---  868 
3 43  ---  631 
4 814  ---  490 
5 615  ---  459 
6 487  ---  370 
7 369  --- 

Table 7 shows a normal matrix of changes in the gears that can be expected from a machine that is being operated in the correct manner. The matrix does not exhibit any faults.

The vertical axis of the matrix shows the initial gear position of the transmission shift. The horizontal axis of the matrix will show the final gear position of the transmission shift. For example, 814 transmission shifts from fourth gear to third gear were performed.

All the transmission shifts are from one gear to the next gear. The following examples are correct transmission shifts. A transmission shift from first gear to neutral gear or into reverse gear, A transmission shift from fifth gear to fourth gear and A transmission shift from sixth gear up to seventh gear. If a transmission shift from first gear to reverse gear is performed and the machine is still moving forward, an event code will be triggered.



Illustration 1g01084271

The table on illustration 1 shows a matrix of changes in the gears from a machine that is being operated incorrectly.

There are four areas of the transmission shift matrix that can indicate abuse or incorrect operation of the machine.

  • Rapid Downshifting

  • Abnormal Shifting

  • Rapid Upshift

  • Upshifting from Neutral or Reverse

Rapid Downshifting



Illustration 2g01084272

The table on illustration 2 is an example of heavy braking, rapid downshift which results in transmission abuse.

The high numbers 1517 and 420 are generated by the following sequence of events that are carried out by the machine operator. In the worst case, these numbers are generated on the shift matrix. However, the additional numbers that are highlighted in the table are also an indication of transmission abuse.

(1) The machine is at high speed in seventh gear and the operator applies the service brake.

(2) The transmission rapidly downshifts.

Reference: Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, RENR3442, "Articulated Trucks Power Train Electronic Control System", "Rapid Downshift Function"

Reference: Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, RENR8035, "Articulated Trucks Power Train Electronic Control System", "Rapid Downshift Function"

(3) At this point, the machine is stationary. The operator then selects neutral gear or reverse gear with the transmission control lever before releasing the service brake.

The rapid downshifting of the transmission is seen in the following list:

  • Seventh gear to neutral gear. This event occurred on 1517 occasions.

  • Seventh gear to reverse gear. This event occurred on 420 occasions.

  • Seventh gear to first gear. This event occurred on 4 occasions.

  • Seventh gear to third gear . This event occurred on 3 occasions.

  • Sixth gear to neutral gear. This event occurred on 12 occasions.

  • Sixth gear to reverse gear.This event occurred on 4 occasions.

  • Sixth gear to first gear. This event occurred on 3 occasions.

  • Sixth gear to second gear.This event occurred on 3 occasions.

  • Fifth gear to neutral gear.This event occurred on 5 occasions.

  • Fifth gear to reverse gear. This event occurred on 8 occasions.

These high figures are a result of heavy braking which will result in high brake temperatures, premature brake wear, and premature transmission failure.

Abnormal Shifting



Illustration 3g01084278

The table on illustration 3 is an example of abnormal transmission shifting due to the use of the brakes.

The high numbers 4169, 564, 27, 1185, 546, 87, 1649, 141, 28, 267, 38, 152, 23, 92, 1, 48 are generated by the following sequence of events that are carried out by the machine operator.

Situation 1

(1) The machine is moving forward in gear and the operator applies the service brake.

(2) The transmission rapidly downshifts.

Reference: Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, RENR3442, "Articulated Trucks Power Train Electronic Control System", "Rapid Downshift Function"

Reference: Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, RENR8035, "Articulated Trucks Power Train Electronic Control System", "Rapid Downshift Function"

(3) At this point, the machine is stationary. The operator then selects neutral gear, reverse gear, or a low gear with the transmission control lever before releasing the service brake.

Situation 2

The down shifting in this case can also be related with the rapid down shifting which has been described. The following actions may be a result of rapid downshifting and braking.

(1) The machine is moving forward in gear and the operator applies the service brake.

(2) The transmission rapidly downshifts.

(3) The operator is moving the transmission control lever to reverse gear, neutral gear, or a low gear. At the same time, the operator releases the service brake for more than half of a second.

The transmission will now log two shifts on the shift matrix. The first shift is the rapid downshift from a high gear to a point when the brakes are first released. The second shift would be the rapid downshift when the service brakes are reapplied. This action would also depend on the position of the lever for the transmission control before the brakes are released for the second time.

The rapid shifting of the transmission is seen in the following list:

  • Second gear to neutral gear. This event occurred on 4169 occasions.

  • Third gear to neutral gear. This event occurred on 564 occasions.

  • Fourth gear to neutral gear. This event occurred on 27 occasions.

  • Second gear to reverse gear. This event occurred on 1185 occasions.

  • Third gear to reverse gear. This event occurred on 546 occasions.

  • Fourth gear to reverse gear. This event occurred on 87 occasions.

  • Third gear to first gear. This event occurred on 1649 occasions.

  • Fourth gear to first gear. This event occurred on 141 occasions.

  • Fifth gear to first gear. This event occurred on 28 occasions.

  • Fourth gear to second gear. This event occurred on 267 occasions.

  • Fifth gear to second gear. This event occurred on 38 occasions.

  • Fifth gear to third gear. This event occurred on 152 occasions.

  • Sixth gear to third gear. This event occurred on 23 occasions.

  • Sixth gear to fourth gear. This event occurred on 92 occasions.

  • seventh gear to fourth gear. This event occurred on 1 occasion.

  • Seventh gear to fifth gear. This event occurred on 48 occasions.

These figures are a result of heavy braking which will result in high brake temperatures, premature brake wear, and premature transmission failure.

Rapid Upshift



Illustration 4g01084279

The table on illustration 4 is an example of rapid downshifting of the transmission which is caused by heavy braking. This, is followed by a rapid upshifting of the transmission.

Note: The transmission shift matrix will indicate a shift from neutral to top gear and back to neutral when you are carrying out a transmission stall test.

The numbers 2, 430, 1455 and 54 are generated by the following sequence of events that are carried out by the machine operator.

(1) The machine is at high speed and the operator applies the service brake. The wheels at this point may be locked.

(2) The transmission rapidly downshifts.

Reference: Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, RENR3442, "Articulated Trucks Power Train Electronic Control System", "Rapid Downshift Function"

Reference: Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, RENR8035, "Articulated Trucks Power Train Electronic Control System", "Rapid Downshift Function"

(3) The operator then releases the service brake.

(4) At this point, the machine is still moving forward at speed. The transmission has downshifted to a gear which is below the gear that is indicated by the ground speed sensor. Therefore, the transmission rapidly upshifts to seventh gear.

The rapid shifting of the transmission is seen in the following list:

  • Rapid downshift to first gear back to seventh gear. This event occurred on 2 occasions.

  • Rapid downshift to second gear back to seventh gear. This event occurred on 430 occasions.

  • Rapid downshift to third gear back to seventh gear. This event occurred on 1455 occasions.

  • Rapid downshift to fourth gear back to seventh gear. This event occurred on 54 occasions.

Upshifting from Neutral or Reverse



Illustration 5g01084280

The table on illustration 5 is an example of abnormal upshifting from neutral gear.

The numbers 5, 1, 2 are generated by the following sequence of events that are carried out by the machine operator.

Situation 1

(1) The machine is moving and coasting in neutral. Refer to "E049-2 Coasting in Neutral".

Note: An event code may not be recorded in certain cases.

(2) The operator moves the lever for the transmission control to the DRIVE position.

(3) Because the ground speed is greater than first gear, the transmission will upshift to a gear which is appropriate to the machine ground speed.

There could also be two situations when the machine is being loaded.

Situation 2

(1) The machine is being loaded on a steep slope.

(2) The operator selects the DRIVE position with the lever for the transmission control.

(3) When the parking brake is released the severity of the grade allows the machine to accelerate at a higher speed that is above an appropriate upshift. This, causes the machine to miss a gear.

Situation 3

(1) The machine is being loaded on a steep slope.

(2) The operator releases the parking brake without engaging the service brake. The machine then starts to move down the grade.

Note: An event code may not be recorded in certain cases.

(3) The operator selects the DRIVE position with the lever for the transmission control.

(4) The severity of the grade allows the machine to accelerate at a higher speed that is above an appropriate upshift. This action causes the transmission to go directly from neutral gear to a higher gear. The transmission will select the appropriate gear for the ground speed of the machine.

The upshifting from neutral of the transmission is seen in the following list:

  • Neutral to second gear. This event occurred on 5 occasions.

  • Neutral to third gear. This event occurred on 1 occasion.

  • Neutral to fourth gear. This event occurred on 2 occasions.

  • Reverse to second gear. This event occurred on 1 occasion.

Engine ECM Current Totals

The following list of totals are supported in different models of Articulated Trucks.
