(Warning
only)
When the warning lamp fl ashes during operation
of the engine, the lamp indicates that one or more
of the warning values for the engine protection
strategy has been exceeded. However, the value
has not been exceeded to a level that will cause a
derate or a shutdown.
The engine is operating
normally. However, there is
one or more of the monitored
engine parameters that are
outside of the range that is
acceptable.

If both the warning lamp and shutdown lamp fl ash
during operation of the engine, the lamps indicate
that one or more of the values for the engine
protection strategy have been exceeded beyond
the level that will cause an engine derate.
The engine is operating.
However, one or more of the
monitored engine parameters
is outside of the acceptable
range. The acceptable range
has been exceeded to a level
which requires a warning and
an engine derate.

If both the warning lamp and the shutdown lamp
come on during engine operation, this indicates
one of the following conditions.
1. One or more of the shutdown values for the
engine protection strategy has been exceeded.
2. A serious active diagnostic code has been
detected.
After a short period of time, the engine will shut
down.
The engine is either shutdown
or an engine shutdown is
imminent. One or more
monitored engine parameters
have exceeded the limit for an
engine shutdown. This pattern
of lamps can be caused by
the detection of a serious
active diagnostic code.
