Diagnostic Flash Code Retrieval
Use the "DIAGNOSTIC" Lamp to determine the diagnostic flash code.
Use the following procedure to read the diagnostic codes if the engine is equipped with a "DIAGNOSTIC" lamp:
- Turn the ignition key to the ON position. The engine does not need to be started in order to view the flash codes. The engine does not need to be running while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The "DIAGNOSTIC" lamp flashes on and off at five second intervals.
- When the ignition key is in the ON position, the lamp is checked for proper operation. All active flash codes will be displayed at this time.
Note: The "DIAGNOSTIC" lamp will illuminate for five seconds. The lamp will stay on if there is an active diagnostic code.
- The "DIAGNOSTIC" lamp will flash in order to indicate a two-digit code. The sequence of flashes represents the system diagnostic message. Each digit of the two-digit code is determined by counting the number of flashes. The lamp flashes at a rate of two times per second. The lamp will pause for one second between digits. The lamp will pause for two seconds between codes.
Table 1 indicates the potential effect on the engine performance with active flash codes. Table 1 also forms a list of Electronic diagnostic codes and descriptions.

(1) | Shut down the Engine: Operate the engine cautiously. Get immediate service. Severe engine damage may result. |
(2) | The operator should go to the nearest location for service. |
(3) | The operator should investigate the problem at a convenient time. |
(4) | The Diagnostic Flash Codes reduce the effectiveness of the Engine Monitoring feature. |
(5) | These Diagnostic Flash Codes may affect the system only under specific environmental conditions such as engine start-up at cold temperatures, etc. |
