This diagnostic code is associated with" EUI" applications. The CID 0590 failure means that the engine electronic control module has stopped responding to the periodic requests for information from the GSC.
Note: This diagnostic code may occur on an "MUI "application. The diagnostic code is caused by an incorrectly programmed P23 setpoint. For" MUI "applications, the setpoint P23of GSC must be set to 0. Reprogram the setpoint and other GSC setpoints. See Systems Operation, "Engine/Generator Programming OP5".
Test Step 1. CHECK THE CAT DATA LINK
- Turn the ECS to OFF/RESET position.
- Disconnect the contacts 19 and 20 of the CAT data link from the GSC.
- Disconnect the contacts 6 and 7 of the CAT data link from the ECM.
- Measure the resistance between contact 19 of the GSC and contact 7 of the ECM.
- Measure the resistance between contact 20 of the GSC and contact 6 of the ECM.
Expected Result:
The resistance for both measurements is less than 5 ohms.
Results:
- OK - The resistance for both measurements is less than 5 ohms. The circuit is correct. The ECM has failed.
Repair: It is unlikely that the ECM has failed. See Troubleshooting, RENR2227, "3406E and 3456 EPG Engines" prior to replacing the ECM. Clear the diagnostic code from the fault log after troubleshooting is complete. The GSC is usually programmed to treat a CID 590 diagnostic code as an "alarm fault". Setpoint P04 is 0. If the GSC is programmed to treat this code as a shutdown fault, setpoint P04 is 1. Then, it is not necessary to press the "alarm codes" key in order to see the diagnostic code. The diagnostic code is automatically shown on the upper display.
Stop.
- NOT OK - The resistance for both measurements is greater than 5 ohms. The circuit is not correct.
Repair: Repair the wiring of the CAT data link or replace the wiring of the CAT data link.Clear the diagnostic code from the fault log after troubleshooting is complete. The GSC is usually programmed to treat a CID 590 diagnostic code as an "alarm fault". Setpoint P04 is 0. If the GSC is programmed to treat this code as a shutdown fault, setpoint P04 is 1.
