Implement ECM     082    Note: Multiple events for a single machine condition may occur. The Vital Information Management System can inform the user if the actual cause of a stored event is due to a faulty component or a true abnormal condition. Feature Variations The same VIMS operates on a variety of different machines. All of the possible functions of VIMS are not performed on every machine. Configuration software is used in order to identify the type of VIMS machine. The configuration software also identifies the available functions of VIMS. The quantity of VIMS display components and the type of available indications are listed here:
The Instrument Cluster is used in order to show changing machine conditions. The tachometer gauge (5) shows the engine speed information. Gauges display information such as the temperature, the pressure and the level.
The screen on the instrument cluster shows the actual transmission gear and the direction.
The screen on the instrument cluster also shows the ground speed information ("[MPH (km/h)]").
The alert indicator on the instrument cluster shows that an event has been detected and the event is active.
The parameter name, status and operator instructions are information that is displayed on the Advisor display module.Diagnostic information is stored for all system events even if the event is not present at the time of troubleshooting. A personal computer (PC) is used as the VIMS service tool. Refer to the Vital Information Management System VIMSpc Users Manual, FEB0047 for additional information. Stored Data The occurrence of certain events and machine conditions are recorded in the onboard memory. The information is organized into seven categories. This information is used to analyze problems with the machine. The information is typically used at a later date by service technicians or management. The seven categories of information are listed here: Event List - The event list is a record of stored events that have occurred on the machine. Not all events are stored. The record contains the last 500 events (data or system) that are listed in chronological order. This means that the events are listed in the order of occurrence. The newest events appear at the top of the list. The event list transfers the oldest data into the "event summary list" when the event list exceeds 500 records. The "event summary list" is composed of the first five occurrences, the last five occurrences and the worst five occurrences that are recorded for any of the "data events". The "event summary list" is limited to storing only 500 records. "System events" can be identified by the diagnostic codes (MID, CID and FMI). All other events are "data events". The event list is accessible from the Advisor display or with VIMS PC. Note: All events that contain
