Troubleshooting Diagnostic Codes

Usage:

C-12 BCY
Diagnostic codes are associated with failed electrical components or circuits, that provide information to the GSC+. Diagnostic codes are also associated with failed electrical components or circuits, that receive information from the GSC+. The diagnostic code closely identifies the cause of the problem.

Each diagnostic code consists of the following items: a component identifier (CID), a failure mode identifier (FMI) and "DIAG" indicator. These items are shown on the upper display. The diagnostic code indicator can be active or inactive. The CID identifies the component that has a problem. The FMI describes the nature of the diagnostic code. When the "DIAG" indicator is FLASHING, the diagnostic code is active. This means that the diagnostic code is present. When the "DIAG" indicator is ON CONTINUOUSLY, the diagnostic code is inactive and the CID FMI is recorded in the fault log. See Systems Operation, "Fault Log Viewing OP1" in order to view the fault log. When the "DIAG" indicator is not showing, there are NO diagnostic codes that are detected or recorded. Service personnel interpret the identifiers in order to assist with troubleshooting.

When a diagnostic code occurs, the GSC+ FLASHES the "DIAG" indicator. The GSC+ determines the type of problem the code represents. There are two types of problems: an alarm fault and a shutdown fault. Then, the GSC+ FLASHES the corresponding fault alarm indicator or fault shutdown indicator. The CID FMI is immediately shown on the upper display when there is a shutdown fault. When there is an alarm fault, the alarm codes key is pressed first. Then, the CID FMI is shown on the upper display.

The GSC+ has a fault log to help with troubleshooting of diagnostic codes. Inactive diagnostic codes (CID FMI) are recorded in the fault log for viewing at a later time. Also, the number of occurrences are totalled and the number of occurrences is shown on the upper display together with the CID and FMI. An active alarm fault becomes inactive when the problem is no longer occurring. Also, the engine control switch (ECS) should be turned to the OFF/RESET position for shutdown faults. The "DIAG" indicator is FLASHING when the problem is currently occurring. The "DIAG" indicator is ON CONTINUOUSLY when the problem occured previously, but is inactive at the present time. See Testing And Adjusting, "Fault Log Viewing OP1".

During troubleshooting, it is sometimes necessary to disconnect the harness connector from the GSC+ and diagnostic codes are created. Because of internal circuitry, the GSC+ recognizes this condition as a FMI 03 for FMI 02 for certain components. An FMI 03 or FMI 02 describes the voltage that is above normal. This fact is also used as an aid in the troubleshooting process. Clear these created diagnostic codes after the particular diagnostic code is corrected and the diagnostic code is cleared. The following diagnostic codes are recorded in a properly operating system when the harness connector is removed from the GSC+.

CID 0100 FMI 02 - Pressure Sensor (Engine Oil) (EUI Engines Only)

CID 0100 FMI 03 - Pressure Sensor (Engine Oil) (MUI And PEEC Engines Only)

CID 0110 FMI 02 - Temperature Sensor (Engine Coolant) (EUI Engines Only)

CID 0110 FMI 03 - Temperature Sensor (Engine Coolant) (MUI And PEEC Engines Only)

CID 0111 FMI 03 - Fluid Level Sensor (Engine Coolant)

CID 0175 FMI 03 - Temperature Sensor (Engine Oil)

CID 0190 FMI 03 - Speed Sensor (Engine)

CID 0336 FMI 02 - Switch (Engine Control)

An FMI 02 describes an incorrect signal.

Note: A CID 0111 FMI 03 and a CID 0175 FMI 03 will only be recorded if the machine is equipped with the proper sensors.

Clear diagnostic codes after the problem is investigated or the problem is corrected. This will avoid a confusion during a future service call. The "DIAG" indicator is OFF when all diagnostic codes are cleared from the fault log and no active diagnostic codes exist. See Testing And Adjusting, "Fault Log Clearing OP4".

Upper Display Showing A "CID 190 E FMI 3" Diagnostic Code

The "E" in the example shown in 2 indicates that on EUI engines, the engine ECM has generated the diagnostic code. The EMCP II+ will display all diagnostic codes from the engine ECM. This assists the operator in diagnosing problems with the EUI engine. See Troubleshooting, SENR1003, "3500B EPG Engines" or Troubleshooting, RENR2227, "3406E EPG Engines"for more information.
