PLATE 8P5698 - Caterpillar

Cross-Reference Information for Event Codes
Table 1 is a list of the event codes for the engine. The event codes are cross-referenced with the appropriate procedure that can be used to troubleshoot the code.Event codes are generated when abnormal operating conditions exist. A further explanation of event codes and the engine's monitoring system are described after Table 1.

Cross-Reference from Event Codes on Cat Data Link to Troubleshooting Procedure
Code and Description Troubleshooting Procedure
E085(1) Engine Shutdown Overridden The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detected the activation of the emergency shutdown override switch. This mode will disable all engine derates and shutdowns, except for the event "Engine Overspeed" and the event "Emergency Stop Activated". Determine the reason that the switch has been activated. Resolve any issues that are present. Return the engine to service.
E096(1) High Fuel Pressure Troubleshooting, "Fuel Pressure Is High"
E096(2) High Fuel Pressure
E096(3) High Fuel Pressure
E194(2) High Exhaust Temperature Troubleshooting, "Exhaust Temperature Is High"
E197(1) High Engine Oil Temperature Troubleshooting, "Oil Temperature is High"
E197(2) High Engine Oil Temperature
E197(3) High Engine Oil Temperature
E198(1) Low Fuel Pressure Troubleshooting, "Fuel Pressure Is Low"
E198(2) Low Fuel Pressure
E198(3) Low Fuel Pressure
E255(1) Diagnostic Reset The ECM detected the activation of the diagnostic reset switch. Logged event codes and logged diagnostic codes will be deleted. Any latched conditions such as engine derates or engine shutdowns will be reset. Determine the reason that the switch has been activated. Use Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to check for active diagnostic codes, or event codes. Resolve any issues that are present. Return the engine to service.
E264(3) Emergency Stop Activated The ECM has detected the activation of the emergency stop switch. The ECM disables the injector solenoids. Determine the reason for the emergency stop shutdown and resolve the issue. Reset the emergency stop switch. Return the engine to service.
Refer to Troubleshooting, "Switch Circuits - Test" if you are getting the E264(3) Emergency Stop Activated and the Emergency Stop Switch is not activated.
E360(1) Low Engine Oil Pressure Troubleshooting, "Oil Pressure Is Low"
E360(3) Low Engine Oil Pressure
E361(1) High Engine Coolant Temperature Troubleshooting, "Coolant Temperature Is High"
E361(2) High Engine Coolant Temperature
E361(3) High Engine Coolant Temperature
E362(1) Engine Overspeed Troubleshooting, "Engine Overspeeds"
E362(3) Engine Overspeed
E363(1) High Fuel Supply Temperature Troubleshooting, "Fuel Temperature Is High"
E363(2) High Fuel Supply Temperature
E363(3) High Fuel Supply Temperature
E390(1) Fuel Filter Restriction Troubleshooting, "Fuel Filter Is Restricted"
E390(2) Fuel Filter Restriction
E390(3) Fuel Filter Restriction
E539(1) High Intake Manifold Air Temperature Troubleshooting, "Intake Manifold Air Temperature Is High"
E539(2) High Intake Manifold Air Temperature Parts of the Event Code
Event Code - The "E" identifies the code as an event code. The "XXX(X)" represents a numeric identifier for the event code. The fourth "(X)" assigns one of three levels to the active event code according to the severity of the abnormal system condition. This is followed by a description of the code. Refer to the following example:
E360(1) Low Oil Pressure
E360(2) Low Oil Pressure
E360(3) Low Oil PressureThe definition for the levels of severity for an event are defined below:Level 1 - Level 1 alerts the operator that an engine system
