 This table pertains only to diagnostic codes with a MID of 030. 
Note: Every machine may not have all of the diagnostic codes that are listed in the preceding 
table. Also, every machine may not have all the FMI for a given CID. 
Note: The preceding table shows the diagnostic codes for the Caterpillar Monitoring System. When 
the Caterpillar Monitoring System is in the service mode, diagnostic codes from the other electronic 
control modules are shown on the display area of the Caterpillar Monitoring System. The 
information from the diagnostic code is transferred from other electronic control modules via the 
Cat Data Link to the main display module. This diagnostic information is shown when the main 
display module is in the service mode. The module identifier (MID) indicates the electronic control 
module that is sending the diagnostic code. The MID for the Caterpillar Monitoring System is "030". 
This Service Manual is used for diagnostic codes with a MID of "030". The MID of other electronic 
control modules on a particular machine are listed on the Electrical System Schematic. 
Troubleshooting information for those diagnostic codes can be found in the service manual for that 
system. 
Note: When a sensor diagnostic code is present, the corresponding warning for that sensor is also 
activated for the operator. For example, if the signal wire for the engine coolant temperature 
sensor is shorted to the +battery, then the following actions take place: 
  The corresponding diagnostic code is stored in memory. 
  The gauge for the engine coolant temperature is indicating in the warning region. 
  The action lamp is FLASHING. 
Notice that the second and third above items are the same warning indications that are activated if 
the engine overheats.
