Cat® Detect Object Detection System Caterpillar


Event Codes

Usage:

793B 1HL
Event codes alert the operator or the technician that an abnormal operating condition exists in the system.

Indications and System Response

System Diagnostic Monitoring



Illustration 1g02665178
(1) Grayed Out Proximity Bar
(2) System Status Indicator

The system is in system fault mode whenever a fault is detected on one of the object detection sensors. If communication is lost with the machine controllers or if the battery voltage is out of the specified operating range, the system will trigger a fault. A red indicator located on the display and an audible alarm will signify the disabled state. Video from the camera will still continue to be displayed. Refer to Illustration 1.

Diagnostic Summary Screen

The diagnostic summary screen is separate from the main screen. Press the tab button twice to enter the diagnostic summary screen. Press the tab button again to change the view to the main screen. The first screen that will appear when the diagnostic summary screen is accessed will be like Illustration 2.



Illustration 2g02355443

Additional information of each code is available by highlighting the desired code and pressing the "OK" button. Press the up or down arrows to highlight the desired code. After pressing the "OK" button, the screen will change to a more detailed view of the selected code. Refer Illustration 3.

Active codes will have a "X" while logged currently inactive codes have a "-".

Electronic Technician Service Tool

When an abnormal operating condition occurs, the status screen within Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) indicates that there is an active event. Event codes are displayed within Cat ET in the following format:

EXXXX - Description of the code

The "E" indicates that the code is an event code. The "XXXX" is a numeric identifier. The numeric identifier is followed by a description of the code.

Active event codes are listed in ascending numerical order. The code with the lowest number is listed first. The active event code is removed from the list when the condition is no longer present.

Logged Event Codes

Some event codes are logged in the memory of the display. Some event codes are active only. The logged event codes are listed in chronological order. The most recent code is listed first.

A logged code is cleared from the memory when one of the following conditions occur:

  • The service technician manually clears the code

  • The code does not reoccur for 1000 hours

  • A new code is logged and there are already ten logged codes in memory. In this case, the oldest logged code is cleared.

Note: Always clear logged event codes after investigating and correcting the problem, which generated the code.

Troubleshooting

Perform the following steps in order to troubleshoot an event:

  1. Obtain the following information from the operator:

    1. The event and the time of the event

    2. Determine the operating conditions of the engine at the time of the event. Conditions such as engine rpm and load may be important.

    3. Determine if there are any systems that were installed by the dealer or by the customer that could cause the event.

  2. Verify that the event is not due to normal machine operation. Verify that the event is not due to error of the operator.

  3. Troubleshoot and repair any active diagnostic codes.

Event Code List

Table 1
Component  Event  Description  Possible Cause 
Left Front Medium Range Object Detection Sensor  E1143  Radar Blockage Detected  The plastic cover on the radar is blocked, clean the cover. The radar has detected a blockage, check for debris in the radar box and remove. An object within 1m (3 ft) of the radar can also cause this event. 
Right Front Medium Range Object Detection Sensor  E1144  Radar Blockage Detected 
Left Side Medium Range Object Detection Sensor  E1145  Radar Blockage Detected 
Left Rear Upper Medium Range Object Detection Sensor  E1146  Radar Blockage Detected 
Left Rear Lower Medium Range Object Detection Sensor  E1147  Radar Blockage Detected 
Right Rear Lower Medium Range Object Detection Sensor  E1148  Radar Blockage Detected 
Right Side Medium Range Object Detection Sensor  E1149  Radar Blockage Detected 
Right Rear Upper Medium Range Object Detection Sensor  E1150  Radar Blockage Detected
