Engine Monitoring Parameters

Usage:

C-10 MBJ

"Engine Monitoring Mode"

This parameter determines the level of action that will be taken by the ECM in response to a condition that has the capability to damage the engine. The ECM reads the Caterpillar Coolant Temperature, Oil Pressure and Inlet Manifold Air Temperature. If the ECM has been programmed to monitor the OEM Installed Coolant Level Sensor, the ECM will read that sensor.

"Engine Monitoring Lamps"

This parameter determines the lamp requirements for the Engine Monitoring System. If this parameter is programmed to the Warning Lamp option, J1/P1:29 is available for the connection of a red Warning Lamp. The Warning Lamp is used to alert the operator that an engine problem is occurring. The Warning Lamp also indicates when the engine is being derated or the lamp will indicate that shutdown will take place.

If this parameter is programmed to Option 1, there will be up to three discrete lamp outputs that are available for use to indicate specific engine problems. "Option 1" configures J1/P1:29 for the connection of a Low Oil Pressure Lamp and "Option 1" also configures J1/P1:31 for the connection of a High Coolant Temperature Lamp. If a coolant level sensor is used, then J1/P1:30 will also be available for the connection of a Low Coolant Level Warning Lamp. If the parameter for the Coolant Level Sensor is programmed to No, then J1/P1:30 can be used to connect a PTO Switch On Lamp.
