Cross-Reference Information for Event Codes
Table 1 is a list of the event codes for the engine. The event codes are cross-referenced with the appropriate troubleshooting procedure that can be used to troubleshoot the code.
Event codes are generated when abnormal operating conditions exist. A further explanation of event codes and the engines monitoring system are described after Table 1.

An active event code represents a problem with engine operation. Correct the problem as soon as possible.
Active event codes are listed in ascending numerical order. The code with the lowest number is listed first.
Illustration 1 is an example of the operating range of a temperature sensor. Do not use the Illustration to troubleshoot temperature sensors.

Example of the typical operating range of a temperature sensor (1) This area represents the normal operating range of the parameter. The normal output voltage of the sensor is between 0.2 VDC and 4.2 VDC. (2) In this area, the temperature above (3) In these areas, the output voltage of the sensor is too high or too low. The voltage is outside of the normal range. The electronic problem will generate a diagnostic code. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Diagnostic Code List" for additional information on diagnostic codes. | |
Event Code - The "E" identifies the code as an event code. The "XXX(X)" represents a numeric identifier for the event code. The fourth "(X)" identifies the event as a warning, derate, or a shutdown. The code is followed by a description of the code. Refer to the following example:
- E360(1) Low Oil Pressure Warning
- E360(2) Low Oil Pressure Derate
- E360(3) Low Oil Pressure Shutdown
The definition for a warning, derate, and a shutdown are defined below:
Warning - This condition represents a serious problem with engine operation. However, this condition does not require derate or a shutdown.
Derate - For this condition, the engines Electronic Control Module (ECM) reduces the engines power in order to help prevent possible engine damage.
Shutdown - For this condition, the ECM shuts down the engine in order to help prevent possible engine damage.
When the ECM generates an event code, the ECM logs the code in permanent memory. The ECM has an internal diagnostic clock. The ECM will record the following information when an event code is generated:
- The hour of the first occurrence of the code
- The hour of the last occurrence of the code
- The number of occurrences of the code
Logged events are listed in chronological order. The most recent event code is listed first.
This information can be helpful for troubleshooting intermittent problems. Logged codes can also be used to review the performance of the engine.
A code is cleared from memory when one of the following conditions occur:
- The code does not recur for 100 hours.
- A new code is logged and there are already ten codes in memory. In this case, the oldest code is cleared.
- The service technician manually clears the code.
Always clear logged event codes after investigating and correcting the problem which generated the code.
For basic troubleshooting of the engine, perform the following steps in order to diagnose a malfunction:
- Obtain the following information about the complaint:
- The event and the time of the event
- Determine the conditions for the event. The conditions will include the engine rpm and the load.
- Determine if there are any systems that were installed by the dealer or by the customer that could cause the event.
- Determine whether any additional events occurred.
- Verify that the complaint is not due to normal engine operation. Verify that the complaint is not due to error of the operator.
- Narrow the probable cause. Consider the operator information, the conditions of operation, and the history of the engine.
- Perform a visual inspection. Inspect the following items:
- Fuel supply
- Oil level
- Oil supply
- Wiring
- Connectors
Be sure to check the connectors. Checking the connectors is important for problems that are intermittent. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".
If these steps do not resolve the problem, refer to Table 1 for the procedure to troubleshoot the event code.
