Diagnostic Codes
Diagnostic codes alert the operator that a problem exists. Diagnostic codes indicate the following types of problems to the service technician:
- Shutdown
- Warning
- Improper parameter programming
- Events
Diagnostic codes may be viewed on the DDT. When a diagnostic code is present, correct the problem as soon as possible. The TCM will not automatically clear the code from the DDT.
Note all of the diagnostic codes in order to avoid losing the codes while you perform the troubleshooting procedures. After you have completed the repairs, turn off the system's power in order to clear all of the diagnostic codes.
The diagnostic codes for the TCM are listed in Table 1.
