Event Code - "E" identifies the code as an event code. "XXX(X)" represents a numeric identifier for
the event code. The fourth "(X)" assigns one of three levels to the active event code according to the
severity of the abnormal system condition. Next is a code description. 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
damaged 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.

Example of the typical operating range of a sensor
(1) This area represents the normal operating range of the engine parameter.
(2) In these areas, the engine is operating in an unsafe operating range of the monitored parameter. An event code will be
generated for the monitored parameter. The sensor circuit does not have an electronic problem.
(3) In these areas, the signal from the sensor is outside of the operating range of the sensor. The sensor circuit has an
electronic problem. A diagnostic code will be generated for the sensor circuit. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Diagnostic
Trouble Codes" for additional information on diagnostic codes.

s
When the Electronic Control Module (ECM) generates an event code, the ECM logs the code in
permanent memory. The ECM has an internal diagnostic clock. The ECM will record the following
information when an event code is generated:
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 the 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
◦ Oil supply
◦ Wiring
◦ Connectors
Be sure to check the connectors. This step is important for problems that are intermittent. Refer to
Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".
If these steps do not resolve the problem, refer to Table 2 or Table 1 for the procedure to troubleshoot
the event code.
