Fault codes

CodeMeaningCauseRemedy
*Low oil pressure shutdown*Low oil pressure shutdown.A. Oil level. Replenish if necessary. b. Sensor. Faulty sensor will shut down engine. c. Refer to engine service manual for troubleshooting guide for oil system.
*High engine temperature shutdown*High engine temperature shutdown.A. Coolant level. Replenish if necessary. b. City water cooled sets. Check water flow, valves, etc. c. Check sensor; check thermostat. d. Radiator model, check fan belts, radiator for obstructions, etc.
Overspeed shutdownOverspeed shutdown.Check governor and throttle linkages for freedom of movement. Check overspeed switch.
Overspeed light ON, no shutdownOverspeed light ON, no shutdown.Disconnect wire at TB11-29. Light ON after reset; replace engine monitor board.
*Low oil pressure light ON*Low oil pressure light ON. No shutdown.Disconnect wire at TB11-30. Light ON after relay reset. Replace engine monitor board.
*High engine temperature light ON*High engine temperature light ON. No shutdown.Disconnect wire at TB11-31. Light ON after relay reset. Replace engine monitor board.

Symptoms & remedies

SymptomCauseRemedy
Engine stops cranking and fault lamp lights, after cranking approximately 75 secondsSee engine service manual for troubleshooting fuel system; after correcting problem, reset engine monitor relay by placing Run-Stop/Reset-Remote switch to Stop/Reset, then back to the required running position
Fault lamp lights immediately after engine startsOverspeed condition as engine startsCheck for overspeed condition as engine starts
Fault lamp lights and engine shuts down after running for a periodOil level (engine will shut down if sensor is closed)Check oil level
Fault lamp lights and engine shuts down after running for a periodOil system problemCheck engine manual for troubleshooting oil system
Fault lamp lights and engine shuts down after running for a periodHigh engine temperatureCheck coolant level; check water flow (city water cooled systems); check radiator for free air flow, and fan belts for tightness; see engine manual for troubleshooting cooling system
Fault lamp lights and engine shuts down after running for a periodFaulty oil pressure sensor or faulty high engine temperature sensorCheck for faulty oil pressure sensor or faulty high engine temperature sensor
Engine runs, shuts down and cranks for 75-seconds. Cranking cycle stops; fault lamp lightsCheck fuel supply
Fault lamp lights, no fault existsTo check a no-fault condition, disconnect leads from TB11 terminals 29, 30 and 31; if fault lamp lights with leads disconnected, replace engine monitor board; reconnect leads
Overcrank fault lamp lights and engine stops cranking after approximately 75-secondsSee engine service manual for troubleshooting fuel system; after correcting fault, reset engine monitor relay by placing Run-Stop/Reset-Remote switch to Stop/Reset position, depressing Reset button, then to the required running position
Engine runs, shuts down, cranks for 75-seconds, cranking cycle stops, Overcrank light ONCheck fuel supply
Low oil pressure shutdownOil levelCheck oil level; replenish if necessary
Low oil pressure shutdownFaulty sensor (faulty sensor will shut down engine)Check sensor
Low oil pressure shutdownOil system problemRefer to engine service manual for troubleshooting guide for oil system
High engine temperature shutdownCoolant levelCheck coolant level; replenish if necessary
High engine temperature shutdownCity water cooled sets — water flow, valves, etc.Check water flow, valves, etc.
High engine temperature shutdownSensor or thermostatCheck sensor; check thermostat
High engine temperature shutdownRadiator model — fan belts, radiator obstructions, etc.Check fan belts, radiator for obstructions, etc.
Overspeed shutdownCheck governor and throttle linkages for freedom of movement; check overspeed switch
Overspeed light ON, no shutdownDisconnect wire at TB11-29; light ON after reset, replace engine monitor board
Low oil pressure light ON, no shutdownDisconnect wire at TB11-30; light ON after relay reset, replace engine monitor board
High engine temperature light ON, no shutdownDisconnect wire at TB11-31; light ON after relay reset, replace engine monitor board
