Event Code List

SMCS - 7569

Event codes alert the operator that an abnormal power train operating condition such as PTO filter
bypassed or high transmission oil temperature event has occurred.

When the ECM activates an event code, the operator will be alerted by the Caterpillar Monitoring
System. The active event will be logged by the ECM and can be viewed with the Caterpillar
Monitoring System or the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET).

Warning Levels
The ECM will assign one of three warnings 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.

Warning Level 1

Warning level 1 alerts the operator that a machine 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.

Warning Level 2

Warning level 2 requires a change in the operation of the machine or the performance of a
maintenance procedure. Failure to correct the problem may result in damage to the involved
machine system components.

Warning Level 3

Warning level 3 requires an immediate safe shutdown of the machine to avoid machine damage or
injury to personnel around the machine. The problem that caused the event must be corrected
before machine operation can resume.

Indications and System Response

Caterpillar Monitoring System

The monitoring system will alert the operator when an event code is active. Event codes are
activated in one of three warning levels according to the severity of the condition. The response of
the monitoring system to these warning levels is shown in the following table.

Electronic Technician Service Tool

When an abnormal power train operating condition occurs, the status screen on the Caterpillar
Electronic Technician (ET) indicates that there is an active event.

Event codes are displayed on Cat ET in the following format:

EXXXX Description of the code

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.

Logged Event Codes

Every event code is logged in the ECM memory. Logged event codes are listed in chronological
order. The most recent code is listed first.

A logged code is cleared from memory when one of the following conditions occur:

• The service technician manually clears the code.

Service Information System Page 3 of 7

• The code does not recur for 1000 hours.

• 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.

Troubleshooting
Perform the following steps in order to troubleshoot an event:

1. Obtain the following information from the operator:

◦ The event and the time of the event

◦ Determine the operating conditions of 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. Verify that the event is not due to normal machine operation. Verify that the event is not due
to error of the operator.

3. Check all fluid levels and all oil levels.

4. Troubleshoot and repair the cause of any active diagnostic codes.

Power Train Event Code List

The following table lists the event codes that apply to the power train control system. The
recommended operator response is listed. Use the Cat ET service tool in order to determine the
event codes that are active or logged.
