Diagnostic module (1) 4 Mounting holes (2) "System status" light (3) "Over-pressure alarm" light (4) "Over-temp alarm" light (5) "System problem" light (6) "Alarm reset button" (7) "Pressure transducer port" (8) "Wire passage" (9) "Serial data comm port"The diagnostic module is equipped with alarms to warn you about the operation of the exhaust. The diagnostic module has the following features:
Mounting holes are used to secure the diagnostic module to the vehicle.
"System status" light is green. The light will blink in two second intervals. This indicates that the system is working properly.
"Over-pressure alarm" is activated when the exhaust back pressure has exceeded the programmed value. "Over-pressure alarm" activates the engine derate.
"Over-temp alarm" is activated when the exhaust temperature exceeds the programmed value.
System problems will activate the warning light when there is a problem with the diagnostic module.
"Alarm reset button" will clear active alarms. Clearing the alarms will deactivate the derate.
"Pressure tranducer port" is the location for the copper tubing which measures the exhaust back pressure.
The wires enter the diagnostic module through the wire passage.
"Serial data comm port" will allow the technician to view the logged data. The logged data will show the changes of the pressure and the temperature of the exhaust system. The technician can also view the temperature and pressure of the exhaust system when the engine is running. The alarms are displayed to the driver in the form of an amber light and red light. The lights get the signal from the diagnostic module. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU7011 for additional information.The parameters of the diagnostic module are listed in Table 1.
