XA2 LEDs
(1) XA2 module
(2) Green power LED
(3) Yellow or red status LED

XA2 modules (1) can provide specific status and error detections. There are two indicators on the XA2 module. Green power LED (3) indicates when the module has power. Status LED (2) indicates the status of the module. The Status LED can be red or yellow.

When Status LED (2) is flashing yellow, the module detects normal status. If the Status LED is flashing red, the module detects an error. When the module detects an error, the nature of the flashing LED gives an indicator of the type of error that exists.

Table 1
XA2 STATUS LEDs 
RED FLASH SEQUENCE  YELLOW FLASH SEQUENCE  STATUS 
  [] ... []... [] ... []  NORMAL (SLOW CONTINUOUS) 
[]  []  MD3 ERROR 
[] []  []  MD3 ERROR 
[] [] []  []  CAN ERROR 
[] [] []  [] []  ADDRESS ERROR 
[] [] [] []  []  MEMORY ERROR 
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] []    FATAL ERROR (CONTINUOUS) 

Status LED (2) is interpreted by the flashing color and time sequence as follows:

  • Flashing yellow in a continuous slow pattern indicates normal (no errors).

  • One red flash and one yellow flash indicates a display controlled error.

  • Two red flashes and one yellow flash indicates a display controlled error code.

  • Three red flashes and one yellow flash indicates a CAN error.

  • Three red flashes and two yellow flashes indicates an address error.

  • Four red flashes indicates a FRAM error.

  • Continuous red flashing indicates a fatal error.

When an error is detected by one of XA2 modules (1), and error message automatically appears on the MD3 display. The MD3 will also display conditional messages that alert the operator to important machine conditions.

The internal diagnostics of the display may be used in order to retrieve more information about XA2 modules (1).

Failure Modes

The following tables contain information about the different possible failure modes that could occur for each module subsystem. In most cases when an error is detected, a message will be presented on the MD3 display together with an error code on the module.

WDS ECM/Display Failure Modes for CAN Interface

Table 2
Code  Failure Mode  Cause 
200  J1939 error  J1939 error detected at parameter input channel (PIN). (The device sending a CAN message has a malfunction). 
201  J1939 not available  Parameter (PIN) not available in J1939 parameter group (PGIN). (A device has not come online in the CAN network). 
202  Time out  Time out detected on parameter group input (PGIN) or generic frame input (GFIN). (CAN took too long to work). 
203  No contact  No contact with expansion module. (Applies to all modules). 
204  Multiple address  Two or more IQAN modules with same address detected. 
209  CAN bus error  CAN bus does not work. 
210  Address error  Invalid address tag on master module. 

WDS ECM/Display Failure Modes for Reference Voltage (VREF)

Table 3
Code  Failure Mode  Cause 
205  VREF error  VREF error detected on IQAN module. (each module has a voltage return for solenoids and power supplies, this error code indicates an error with the modules circuit). 

WDS ECM/Display Failure Modes for Voltage In (VIN)

Table 4
Code  Failure Mode  Cause 
192  Low error  Value below low error level on input channel. (level set in software). 
193  High error  Value over high error level on input channel. (level set in software). 
208  Pin conflict  Invalid channel type connected to module pin. 
212  Input error  Error detected on input channel (used by AAC, DDC, and ADC channels). 

WDS ECM/Display Failure Modes for Digital In(DIN)

Table 5
Code  Failure Mode  Cause 
208  Pin conflict  Invalid channel type connected to module pin. 
212  Input error  Error detected on input channel (used by AAC, DDC, and ADC channels). 
213  Diff. check error   Input channels not equal (used by AAC, DDC, and ADC channels). 

WDS ECM Failure Modes in Current Output Mode

Table 6
Code  Failure Mode  Cause 
135  Saturated  Not able to output commanded current. Current is 50 to 100 percent of commanded. 
194  Overload  Output is overloaded. 
195  Open load  Output is disconnected. Current is less than 50 percent of commanded. 
208  Pin conflict  Invalid channel type connected to module pin. 

WDS ECM Failure Modes

Table 7
Code  Failure Mode  Cause 
128  High temp.  Module internal temperature. (WDS ECMs). 
129  Low supply voltage  Module supply voltage. (WDS ECMs). 
130  High supply voltage  Module supply voltage. (WDS ECMs). 
131  Date and time not set  Applies to Display ECM only. 

Display Messages and Warnings



Illustration 2g03388157
MD3 Display Error, Alarm, and Warning Messages
(4) Display module
(5) Error message
(6) "F2" key

MD3 display module (4) can display error, alarm, and warning messages (5) to the operator on the display.

The user must acknowledge all errors with the "F2" key (6). If multiple errors are present, each error must be dismissed individually with the "F2" key.

MD3 display module (4) can display various alarm, error, and warning messages. Some examples are as follows:

  • Low water

  • Sensor failure

  • Tank lift mode disabled

  • High hydraulic temperature

  • Low hydraulic oil

  • Oil filter differential pressure

  • Low water pressure

  • Tank not empty (lift mode)

  • No contact (CAN)

  • Low voltage

  • High voltage

  • VREF error

The color of the header in the box indicates the severity of the alarm or error. Boxes with a red header indicate that the error requires immediate attention. These errors are most severe. The header will indicate "Error".



Illustration 3g03388158
Conditional Error Message
(7) Type of message
(8) Associated component
(9) Message text
(10) Value

The conditional error messages are comprised of the following segments:

  • Type of conditional message (7)

  • Associated component or module (8)

  • Message text (9)

  • Value (if applicable) (10)


Illustration 4g03388398
Alarm Message
(11) "Alarm" Header

Boxes with an orange header are an alarm for moderately severe errors that may require immediate attention. The header will indicate "Alarm" (11).



Illustration 5g03388406
Warning Display
(12) Warning

Warnings (12) are displayed directly over the current screen display in red type font. Warnings may include a message of appropriate action. Severity of the condition is variable, from a low water tank level, to an overheat condition requiring immediate engine shutdown.

For more information on the diagnostic functions of the control system and the specific descriptions of error messages, refer to Troubleshooting, Diagnostic Capabilities.
