Common problems

15
  • Wastegate Solenoid Fault — Low Power 177
    Fix: Schedule a Service
  • Very Low Oil Pressure Warning — if the DERATE mode of the engine monitoring system is selected, the ECM will derate the engine power; the engine horsepower will be limited
    Cause: Engine oil pressure below the very low oil pressure setpoint, which is dependent upon the engine speed
  • Timing Calibration Fault — Low Power; Reduced Engine Speed 143
    Fix: Schedule a Service
  • Throttle Position sensor Fault — Low Power; Reduced Engine Speed 154
    Fix: Schedule a Service
  • Secondary Throttle Position sensor Fault — Low Power; Reduced Engine Speed 155
    Fix: Schedule a Service
  • Secondary Speed/Timing Sensor Fault — Reduced Engine Speed 142
    Fix: Schedule a Service
  • SAE J1939 Data Link Fault — Low Power; Reduced Engine Speed 514
    Fix: Schedule a Service
  • Primary Speed/Timing Sensor Fault — Engine Misfire; Reduced Engine Speed 141
    Fix: Schedule a Service
  • Overspeed — the "DIAGNOSTIC" lamp will indicate a diagnostic fault code; the diagnostic fault code will remain active until the engine speed drops to 2800 rpm E0190
    Cause: Engine speed exceeds 3300 rpm
  • Oil Pressure Sensor Fault — Engine Misfire; Low Power; Reduced Engine Speed; Engine Shutdown 157
    Fix: Shut Down the Engine: Operate the engine cautiously. Get immediate service. Severe engine damage may result; Schedule a Service
  • No Detected Faults have occurred since the ignition keyswitch has been turned to the ON position 551
    Fix: Troubleshooting is not required for code "551"
  • Machine Security System Module Fault — the engine will not start 426
    Fix: Schedule a Service
  • Low Oil Pressure Warning — the fault will be active and logged only if the engine has been running for more than 8 seconds
    Cause: Engine oil pressure below the low pressure warning setpoint, which is dependent upon the engine speed
  • Low Engine Coolant — Low Power; Reduced Engine Speed 169
    Fix: Schedule a Service
  • Keyswitch Fault 429
    Fix: Schedule a Service
