Warning Levels

Cat
The ECM will assign a warning level to an active event code. Event codes are one of three levels. The

erp
level is according to the severity of the abnormal condition. Each warning level requires a specific
response from the operator. The warning levels and the required operator response are listed below.

illa
Level 1
rI nc.
Warning level 1 alerts the operator that a machine 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
Warning level 2 requires changing the operation of the machine or performing a maintenance procedure.
System components may be damaged if the cause of this warning is ignored.

Level 2S
Warning Level 2S requires an immediate change in machine operation to avoid possible damage to the
system.

Level 3
Warning level 3 requires an immediate safe shutdown of the machine. An immediate shutdown is
required to avoid damage to the machine or injury to personnel around the machine. The problem that
caused the event must be corrected before machine operation can resume.

Indications and System Response

Monitoring System Display
The Monitoring System Display will alert the operator when an event code is active. Event codes are
activated in one of three warning levels according to the severity of the condition.

The warning indicators for the subsystem on the Instrument Cluster will illuminate when an EID is
activated for a particular subsystem. When level 1 events are active, the warning indicator for the
subsystem will be the only type of indicator that will illuminate.

The action Indicator will flash red when a level 2 warning or level 3 warning is active. If communication
between Monitoring System Display and the Instrument Cluster fails, the action lamp will flash yellow.

The action alarm is driven as an output directly from the Instrument Cluster. If a level 3 warning is active,
the action alarm will sound a tone that is pulsing. The action alarm will sound these tones to alert the
machine operator that immediate action is required.

If two warnings of a different level are active at the same time, the highest level warning will be displayed.

The response of the Monitoring System Display to these warning levels is shown in the following table.

Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat® ET) Service Tool

When an abnormal operating condition of the "powertrain" occurs, the status screen on Cat® ET indicates
that there is an active event.

Event codes are displayed on the Cat ET service tool in the following format:

EXXXX Description of the code

The "E" means that the code is an event code. The "XXXX" is a numeric identifier. The numeric identifier
is followed by a description of the code.

Active event codes are listed in ascending numerical order. The code with the lowest number is listed
first. Once a logged code is inactive, the code will be displayed with the letters “IN” for inactive. An event
code that is not recorded will be removed when the event code is no longer active.

Logged Event Codes

Some event codes are logged in the ECM memory. Some event codes are active only. The logged event
codes are listed in numerical order.

A logged code is cleared from memory when one of the following conditions occurs:

The service technician manually clears the code.

The code does not reoccur for 1000 hours.

A new code is logged and there are already 20 logged codes in memory. In this case, the oldest
logged code is cleared.

Note: Always clear logged event codes after investigating and correcting the problem which generated
the code.

Troubleshooting
Perform the following steps to troubleshoot an event code:

04/04/25, 08:53 SIS 2.0

1. Obtain the following information from the operator:

The event and the time of the event

Determine the operating conditions of the engine at the time of the event. Conditions such as
engine rpm and load may be important.

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 event is not due to normal machine operation. Verify that the event is not due to error
of the operator.

3. Check all fluid levels and all oil levels.

4. Troubleshoot and repair any active diagnostic codes.

List of Event Codes For the Transmission/Chassis ECM

The following table lists the event codes that apply to the control system of the "powertrain". The
recommended response is listed. Use Cat® ET to determine active or logged event codes.

1. At key-on, with the engine running, until the Brake System Charge Pressure is
above the Brake System Charge Pressure Threshold, either of the following are
true:
a. The Park Brake Solenoid Command is Energized. AND
b. The Trans Direction Input State is not NEUTRAL(park brake switch is
disengaged).
c. Ground Speed Threshold > 8 km/h (4.97 mph)

prefixes with disc type parking brakes and all W93 prefixes.

undefinedIMMEDIATE SAFE SHUTDOWN IS REQUIRED.

Possible Cause:

The event will be active and logged if the Brake Accumulators do not reach
9630 kPa (1397 psi) within 60 seconds of the engine running.
The event will be active and logged if the pressure of the Brake Accumulator drops
below 8880 kPa (1288 psi) W92 prefixes with drum type park brakes or 10840 kPa
(1572 psi) W92 prefixes with disc type parking brakes and all W93.

Accumulator steps:

Pressure 1. Wait for the temperature of the hydraulic oil to cool to 80° C (176° F) or less.
2. Verify that the service brake accumulator pressure sensor is reading accurately.
Compare the reading from the pressure sensor. Use Cat® to monitor the sensor and
compare the reading from a hydraulic pressure sensor gage that should be
connected to the same hydraulic circuit and as close to the gage as possible.
3. If the pressure sensor is reading accurately, do not replace the pressure sensor.
Troubleshoot the hydraulic system. Specifically, look for leaks in the system.
4. Verify that the brake accumulators can hold a charge more than 9630 kPa
(1397 psi).
