The ECM assigns one of the three warning levels to an active event code according to the severity
of the abnormal system condition. Each warning level requires a specific response from the operator.

The warning levels and required operator response are listed below.
r In
check the involved system. Perform any necessary maintenance to the system at the earliest
possible time.
Warning Level 2
c.
Warning Level 2 requires changing the operation of the machine or performing a maintenance
procedure. Failure to correct the problem behind this warning will damage the components that are
involved. The problem that caused the event requires correction, before the machine can resume
operation.
Warning Level 3
Warning Level 3 requires an immediate safe shutdown of the machine 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.

Event codes are displayed on Cat ET or the monitor in the following format:
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. The active event code is removed from the list when the condition is no longer present.
A logged code is cleared from memory when one of the following conditions occur:
A new code is logged and there are already ten 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.

1. Obtain the following information from the operator monitor and the machine operator:
Determine the operating conditions for 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. Some of the events below can become active during normal system operation. Verify that the
event is not due to error of the operator.
