Event Codes
SMCS Code: 190

Event codes alert the operator that an abnormal
engine operat
ing condition such as low oil pressure
or high coolant temperature has been detected.
When the event code is generated, this indicates that
an event has t
aken place.
Active of Eve
nt Codes
An event code represents a problem with engine
operation. C
orrect the problem as soon as
possible.
Event codes
are listed in ascending numerical order.

Illustration 8
Example of the typical operating range of a tempe rature s ensor
(1) T his area represents the normal operating ra nge of the
parameter. The normal o utput v oltage 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 v oltage of the s ensor will generate an
event code. T he s ensor does not have an electronic problem.
(3) In these areas, the output voltage of the sensor is too high
or too low. The vo ltage is outside of the norm al range. The
electronic prob lem will generate a diagnostic code. Refer to
Troubleshooting, “Troubleshooting with a Diagnostic C ode” for
additional information on diagnostic c odes.
Events are represented in two formats. In the first
format, the “E” means that the code is an event
code. The “XXX” represents a numeric identifier for
the event code. This is followed by a description of
the code. If a warning, a derate, or a shutdown is
applicable, the numeric identifiers are different. Refer
to the following example:
•
E004 Engine Overspeed Shutdown
In the second format, the “E” means that the code is
an event code. The “XXX-X” represents a numeric
identifier for the event code. The fourth “X” identifies
the event as a warning, a derate, or a shutdown. This
is followed by a description of the code. Refer to the
following example:
