Engine Operation with Active Diagnostic Codes

Usage:

3196 2XR
If the diagnostic lamp starts to flash codes during normal engine operation, the system has identified a situation that is not within the specification. Check the following conditions:

  • Engine oil pressure

  • Coolant temperature

  • Coolant level

  • Transmission oil pressure

  • Transmission oil temperature

Use an electronic service tool to retrieve the active diagnostic code. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for one of the following necessary actions of the operator:

  • Shut down the engine.

  • Service the engine.

  • Schedule service for the engine.

Note: If low engine oil pressure occurs, the mode for engine monitoring is programmed to "DERATE". The Electronic Control Module (ECM) will limit the maximum engine rpm until the oil pressure problem is corrected. If oil pressure is registering in the normal range, the engine may be operated at the rated rpm and load. However, maintenance should be performed as soon as possible. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual for more information.

The active diagnostic code should be investigated. The cause of the problem should be corrected as soon as possible. If the cause of the active diagnostic code is repaired and there is only one active diagnostic code, the active diagnostic code will turn off.

Operation of the engine and performance of the engine can be limited as a result of the active diagnostic code that is generated. Acceleration rates may be significantly slower. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for more information on the relationship between these active diagnostic codes and engine performance.
