Troubleshooting With A Diagnostic Code

Diagnostic Terminology
Component Identifier (CID) - Two or three digit code which is assigned to each component or system.
Event Identifier (EID) - Two or three digit code which is assigned to each component or system.
Failure Mode Identifier (FMI) - Type of failure the component experienced (adopted from SAE standard practice
J1587 diagnostics).

Failure Mode Identifier Description


00 Data Valid, but above normal operational range
01 Data Valid, but below normal operational range
02 Data Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect
03 Voltage above normal or shorted high
04 Voltage below normal or shorted low
05 Current below normal or open circuit
06 Current above normal or grounded circuit
07 Mechanical System not responding properly

08 Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period


09 Abnormal Update

10 Abnormal Rate of Change

11 Failure Mode not identifiable


12 Faulty Device or Component
13 Uncalibrated device or component
14-31 Reserved for future assignment

Active Code - The CID and FMI can be sent through the data link through the display module or through the
Communication Adapter Tool, then to the Electronic Service Tool or various electronic display modules.
Logged Code - The diagnostic will be entered into the permanent memory (Diagnostic Log) when it becomes
active. The number of occurrences will be saved in the “good to faulty counter” in the permanent memory
(Diagnostic Log). First and last occurrence time (engine hours) will also be saved in the permanent memory
(Diagnostic Log). This information is then available for display on the Electronic Service Tool.
