Most active events will be logged by one of the ECMs. Some events are active only. Active only events are not logged. The events that are active and the events that are logged can be viewed with the following equipment:
- Cat® Electronic Technician (Cat ET)
- Cat MineStar System software
Every event code triggers a specific truck action code that results in a specified action on the truck and a corresponding response in Cat MineStar System office software. The truck action codes and the specified responses are listed in the table below.
Truck Action Code | Truck Action Code Description | Cat MineStar System Office Software Response |
0 | No Recommended Action | Logged |
1 | Failed but Functional, Continue Operation | Logged |
2 | Failed and Non-Functional, Continue Operation | Logged |
3 | Limit machine Speed | Logged |
4 | Stop Machine Safely | Popup alert in office client |
5 | Stop Machine Safely and Shutdown the Engine | Popup alert in office client |
Cat Electronic Technician (Cat ET) Service Tool
When an abnormal operating condition occurs, the status screen on Cat ET indicates that there is an active event.
Event codes are displayed on Cat ET in the following format:
EXXXX Description of the code
The "E" means that the code is an event code. The "XXXX" is a numeric identifier. The numeric identifier is followed by a description of the code.
Active event codes are listed according to the corresponding ECM in ascending numerical order. The code with the lowest number is listed first. The active event code is removed from the list when the condition is no longer present.
Some event codes are logged in the ECM memory. Some event codes are active only. The logged event codes are listed in chronological order. The most recent code is listed first.
A logged code is cleared from memory when one of the following conditions occur:
- The service technician manually clears the code.
- The code does not reoccur for 1000 hours.
- A new code is logged and there are already ten logged codes in memory. In this case, the oldest logged code is cleared.
Note: Always clear logged event codes after investigating and correcting the problem which generated the code.
Perform the following steps in order to troubleshoot an event:
- Obtain the following information from the Cat MineStar System operator:
- The event and the time of the event
- Determine the engine operating conditions at the time of the event. Conditions such as engine rpm and load may be important.
- Determine if there are any systems that were installed by the dealer or by the customer that could cause the event.
Note: This information should all be available through Cat MineStar System office software and snapshots from the autonomous logger.
- Verify that the event is not due to normal machine operation.
- Check all fluid levels and all oil levels.
- Troubleshoot and repair any active diagnostic codes.
