Important information about fault messages from the engine governor/engine
monitoring
Fault messages from the engine governor are represented in the fault code list (→ Page 95).
Information pertaining to alarm colors and automatic engine shutdown in the fault code list refer to the
(default) factory settings of the engine governor on delivery. Different system response may be possible
due to changes to the genset control system made by the OEM (see documentation of the genset man-
ufacturer).
A prerequisite for performing the measures to rectify faults is corresponding qualification/training at
MTU.
Contact Service should troubleshooting as prescribed in the fault code list prove unsuccessful.
Recommended action in case of alarm
Yellow alarm:
The engine can still be operated providing that automatic engine shutdown to protect the engine has
not been configured or is not tripped. Contact Service immediately/start fault rectification.
