Diagnostic Flash Code Retrieval

SMCS - 1000; 1900; 1901; 1902

"Diagnostic" Lamp
Use the "DIAGNOSTIC" Lamp or Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) in order to determine the
diagnostic flash code.

Use the following procedure to retrieve the diagnostic codes if the engine is equipped with a
"DIAGNOSTIC" lamp:

1. Turn on the ignition system. The engine does not need to be started in order to view codes. The engine
does not need to be running while the ignition switch is in the ON position.

The "DIAGNOSTIC" lamp blinks on and off at five second intervals.

When the ignition key is in the ON position, the lamp is checked for proper operation. If there
are any active codes except for Code 34, the codes are displayed at this time.

Note: The "DIAGNOSTIC" lamp will illuminate for five seconds. The lamp will stay on if there is an
active diagnostic code.

2. The Active Diagnostic codes will always be flashed. There is no toggle switch that will shut off the
lamp.

3. The "DIAGNOSTIC" lamp will flash in order to indicate a two-digit code. The sequence of flashes
represents the system diagnostic message. Each digit of the two-digit code is determined by counting
the number of flashes. The lamp flashes at a rate of two times per second. The lamp will pause for one
second between digits. The lamp will pause for two seconds between codes.

Table 1 indicates the potential effect on the engine performance with active flash codes. Table 1 also forms a
list of Electronic diagnostic codes and descriptions.

(1) Shut down the Engine: Operate the engine cautiously. Get immediate service. Severe engine damage may result.
(2) The operator should go to the nearest location for service.
(3) The operator should investigate the problem at a convenient time.
(4) The Diagnostic Flash Codes reduce the effectiveness of the Engine Monitoring feature.
(5) These Diagnostic Flash Codes may affect the system only under specific environmental conditions such as engine start-up at cold
temperatures, etc.
