Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Usage:

TH48-E70 PLZ
Diagnostic trouble codes are generated by the Electronic Control Module (ECM) to alert the operator that a problem has been detected. The problem can be in the electronic system or in the mechanical system. Diagnostic trouble codes are used by the service technician to assist in the identification of the nature of the problem. Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) is a software program that can be used by the service technician to view the diagnostic code information. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tools" for detailed information that is related to the functionality of Cat ET.

The CAN data link is used by the ECM to communicate with controllers, display modules, and electronic service tools. The ECM transmits information and the ECM receives information over the CAN data link. The communications protocol and the diagnostic messages over the CAN data link follow the SAE J1939 industrial standards.

Note: The SAE J1939 industrial standards refer to the control module for the engine as the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). This manual refers to this control module as the Electronic Control Module (ECM).

Communications with electronic service tools aid the technician in diagnostics and troubleshooting for the engine and the engine subsystems. When a problem with the engine is detected by the ECM, the ECM communicates information about the problem over the CAN data link. The problem may be physically detected by one of the input or output circuits by the ECM. A problem can also be communicated via the data link to the ECM. The ECM transmits this information over the data link in a form of a diagnostic trouble code and code description.

The diagnostic trouble code has a format of a two-element code. The following terms describe the elements of the code:

Suspect Parameter Number (SPN) - The SPN is a code which is assigned to each component. The SPN identifies the origin of the problem.

Failure Mode Identifier (FMI) - The FMI is used with the SPN to provide more information that relates to the problem. The FMI may indicate that a problem with an electronic circuit or an electronic component has been detected. The FMI may also indicate that an abnormal operating condition has been detected.

The codes are displayed in the form “SPN-FMI”. The ECM also attaches a text description to the message that is transmitted over the data link. This text description is used to describe the SPN-FMI code.

The failure mode identifiers can be divided into two categories:

  • Codes that indicate that a problem with an electronic circuit or an electronic component has been detected

  • Codes that indicate that an engine event or a system event has been detected

The failure mode of the fault is determined by evaluating the electronic signal from the suspect circuit. Typically, the first category of code is generated when the signal for the circuit is outside the range of the sensor. The second category of code is an engine event. An engine event indicates that the sensor signal is OK, but the signal is outside the normal operating range of the engine parameter. Illustration 1 is an example that represents the evaluation of a sensor signal by the ECM.



Illustration 1g01365757
Example of the typical operating range of a sensor
(1) This area represents the normal operating range of the engine parameter.
(2) In these areas, the engine is operating in an unsafe operating range of the monitored parameter. A diagnostic code that indicates an engine event will be generated for the monitored parameter. The sensor circuit does not have an electronic problem. Refer to Systems Operation, "Engine Monitoring System" for additional information that is related to engine events.
(3) In these areas, the signal from the sensor is outside of the operating range of the sensor. The sensor circuit has an electronic problem. A diagnostic code will be generated for the sensor circuit.

When you troubleshoot a diagnostic trouble code, be sure to evaluate the problem from the viewpoint of an interpretation of the electrical signal. Refer to the above illustration for an evaluation of the sensor signal.

Active Diagnostic Codes

An active diagnostic code represents a problem with the electronic control system. Correct the problem as soon as possible.

When the engine ECM generates an active diagnostic code, the "Active Alarm" indicator ("Engine Control Alarm Status" turns on. Cat ET) is activated to alert the operator. If the condition that generated the code is momentary, the message disappears from the list of active diagnostic codes. The diagnostic code becomes logged.

Logged Diagnostic Codes

When the ECM generates a diagnostic code, the ECM logs the code in permanent memory. The ECM has an internal diagnostic clock. Each ECM will record the following information when a 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

This information is a valuable indicator for troubleshooting intermittent problems.

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

  • The service technician manually clears the code.

  • 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.

Some diagnostic codes may be easily triggered. Some diagnostic codes may log occurrences that did not result in complaints. The most likely cause of an intermittent problem is a faulty connection or damaged wiring. The next likely cause is a component failure. The least likely cause is the failure of an electronic module. Diagnostic codes that are logged repeatedly may indicate a problem that needs special investigation.

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