Tampering with the electronic system installation or the OEM wiring installation can be dangerous and could result in personal injury or death and/or engine damage. |
This engine has a comprehensive, programmable Engine Monitoring System. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) has the ability to monitor the engine operating conditions. If any of the engine parameters extend outside an allowable range, the ECM will initiate an immediate action.
The following actions are available for engine monitoring control:
- Warning
- Derate
- Shutdown
The following monitored engine operating conditions and components have the ability to limit engine speed and/or the engine power:
- Oil Pressure Switch
- Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Engine Aftertreatment System
The Engine Monitoring package can vary for different engine models and different engine applications. However, the monitoring system and the engine monitoring control will be similar for all engines.
Note: Many of the engine control systems and display modules that are available for Caterpillar Engines will work in unison with the Engine Monitoring System. Together, the two controls will provide the engine monitoring function for the specific engine application. Refer to the Troubleshooting for more information on the Engine Monitoring System.
