Interpret Diagnostic Codes

CMW

Review Modes   

Diagnostic Code Interpretation

Diagnostic codes are displayed through a series of light flashes and pauses. Count number of flashes and 
pauses to interpret code. 

Example: “Flash, flash, flash, pause, flash, flash, longer pause” represents code 32.

Tips for interpreting codes:

•

In View All Codes mode, the green control cycle light will come on the first time the red diagnostic light 
flashes a code. The green control cycle light will then go off and the red diagnostic light will flash the 
code two more times. 

•

Codes are displayed from lower to higher numbers. 

•

Code 11 is not used. 

•

Code 12 signals successful entry into and exit from review mode.  

IMPORTANT: Do not turn off ignition. Diagnostic codes are cleared each time ignition is turned off.

View All Codes

View Codes Individually

1.

Ensure that engine is running and no one is 
sitting in operator’s seat.

2.

Press and hold the resume button for two 
seconds. 

3.

Diagnostic light will flash code 12 (flash, 
pause, flash, flash, longer pause) to indicate 
review mode is operational. 

4.

After flashing code 12, all diagnostic codes 
detected since the last time the ignition was 
turned on are flashed three times each.

5.

To save diagnostic codes, continue normal 
operation. Do not turn ignition off. 

6.

Once the problem has been corrected, clear 
all codes by turning ignition off.

1.

Ensure that engine is running and no one is 
sitting in operator’s seat.

2.

Press and hold the set button for two 
seconds. 

3.

Diagnostic light will flash code 12 (flash, 
pause, flash, flash, longer pause) to indicate 
review mode is operational. 

4.

After code 12 is flashed, press set button to 
see first code. 

•

Press resume to see same code again or 
press set to see next code. 

•

Continue pressing set until all diagnostic 
codes detected since the last time the 
ignition was turned on are flashed.

5.

To save diagnostic codes, continue normal 
operation. Do not turn ignition off. 

6.

Once the problem has been corrected, clear 
all codes by turning ignition off.
