according to the severity of the abnormal system condition. This action is followed by a description
of the code. Refer to the following example:
The definition for the levels of severity for an event are defined below:
Level 1 - Level 1 alerts the operator that an engine system requires attention. The operator should
check that the involved system condition or the operator should perform maintenance on the involved
system at the earliest possible time.
Level 2 - Level 2 requires a change in the operation of the engine or the performance of a
maintenance procedure. Failure to correct the problem that caused this warning may result in damage
to the engine components.
Level 3 - Level 3 requires an immediate safe shutdown of the engine in order to avoid damage to the
engine or injury to personnel around the engine. The problem that caused the event must be corrected
before engine operation can resume.
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 107 °C (225 °F) is higher than normal. The output voltage of the sensor will
generate an event code. The sensor does not have an electronic problem.
(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 Trouble Codes" for additional
information on diagnostic codes.

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 new code is logged and there are already ten codes in memory. In this case, the oldest code is
cleared.
Always clear logged event codes after investigating and correcting the problem which generated the
code.
Troubleshooting
For basic troubleshooting of the engine, perform the following steps in order to diagnose a
malfunction:
◦ 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.
2. Verify that the complaint is not due to normal engine operation. Verify that the complaint is not
due to error of the operator.
3. Narrow the probable cause. Consider the operator information, the conditions of operation, and
the history of the engine.
◦ Fuel supply
◦ Oil level

◦ Wiring
◦ Connectors
Be sure to check the connectors. This is very important for problems that are intermittent. Refer to
Troubleshooting, "Inspecting Electrical Connectors".
If these steps do not resolve the problem, refer to Table 1 for the procedure to troubleshoot the event
code.
Table 2 contains the parameters that are monitored and the appropriate event codes that can be
generated for that parameter. Table 2 also contains the minimum and maximum ranges for the
parameter and the default trip points for each parameter. The actual settings for each parameter can
be viewed with Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET). The trip points for some of the parameters
may be adjustable with Cat ET.

(1)
The ECM will derate the engine in 3 percent increments for every 305 m (1000 ft) increase in elevation up to a
maximum derate of 35 percent.
(2)
https://127.0.0.1/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sis... 12/04/2018

The ECM limits the fuel above the default crankcase pressure of 6 kPa (24 inches of H2O). The ECM derates the
engine from 0 percent to a maximum derate of 15 percent over a period of 480 seconds when the crankcase pressure is
above 6 kPa (24 inches of H2O).
(3)
If the trip point for the derate is exceeded the derate will reduce power linearly from 0 percent to a maximum of 25
percent over a period of 480 seconds.
(4)
If the trip point is exceeded, engine power will be derated 2 percent for each 15 second time period. The maximum
derate is 20 percent.
(5)
Refer to the oil pressure map in Illustration 2.
(6)
Optional equipment
Note: The engine monitoring system is enabled after the engine is started. The ECM delays
monitoring some parameters at start-up. The delay is designed to eliminate false warnings. The
following parameters have a delay at start-up.
