Troubleshooting Diagnostic
Codes
SMCS C ode: 4490-035; 7569
Diagnostic codes are associated with failed electrical
components or circuits, that provide information to
the Generator Set Control + Paralleling (GSC+P).
Diagnostic codes are also associated with failed
electrical components or circuits, that rec eive
information from the GSC+P. The diagnostic code
closely identifies the cause of the problem.
Each diagnostic code consists of the following
items: a C omponent Identifier (CID), a Fa ilure Mode
Identifier (FM I ), an d “DIAG” in dicator. These ite ms
are shown on the upper display. The diagnostic
code indic ator can be ac tive or inactive . The CID
identifies the component that has a problem. The FMI
describes the nature of the diagnostic code. When
the “DIAG” indicator is FLASHING, the diagnostic
code is active. This means that the diagnostic
code is present. When the “DIAG” indicator is ON
CONTINUOUSLY, the diagnostic code is inactive
and the CID FMI is re co rded in the f au lt log. Refer to
Systems Operation, “Fault Log Viewing OP1” in order
to view the fault log. When the “DIAG” indicator is
not showing, there are NO diagnostic codes that are
detected or recorded. Service personnel interpret the
identifiers in o rder to assist with troubleshooting.
When a diagnostic code occurs, the GSC+P
FLASHES the “D IAG ” indicato r. The GSC+ P
determines the type of problem the code represents.
There are two types of problems: an alarm fault and
a shutdown fault. Then, the GSC+P FLASHES the
correspondin g fault alarm in dicator or fault shut down
indicator. The CID FMI is immediately shown on
the upper display w hen there is a shutdown fault.
When there is an alarm fault, press the alarm codes
key first. Then, the CID FMI is shown on the upper
display.

troubleshooting of diagnostic codes. Inactive
diagnostic codes (CID FMI) are recorded in the fault
log for viewing at a later time. Also, the number
of occurrences are totalled and the number of
occurrences is shown on the upper display together
with the CID and F MI. An active alarm fau lt becomes
inactive when the problem is no longer occurring.
Also, the engine control switch (ECS) should be
turned to the O F F/RESET posit ion for shutdown
faults. The “DIAG” indicator is FLASHING when the
problem is currently occurring. The “D IAG” indicator
is ON CONTINUOUSLY when the problem occurred
previously, but is inactive at the present time. Refer
to Testing And Adjusting, “Fault L og Viewing OP1 ”.
During troubleshooting, it is sometimes necessary to
disconnect the harness connector from the GSC+P
and diagnostic codes are created. Because of internal
circuitry, the GSC+P recognizes this condition as a
FMI 03 for FMI 02 for certain components. An FMI 03
or FMI 02 describes the voltage that is above normal.
This fact is also used as an aid in the troubleshooting
process. Clear these created diagnostic codes after
the particular diagnostic code is corrected and the
diagnostic code is cleared. The following diagnostic
codes are recorded in a properly operating system
when the harness connector is removed from the
GSC+P.
CID 0100 FMI 02 – Pressure Sensor (Engine Oil)
CID 0110 FMI 02 – Temperature Sensor (Engine
Coolant)
CID 0111 FMI 03 – Fluid Leve l Sensor (Engine
Coolant)
CID 017 5 FMI 03 – Temperature Sensor (Engine Oil)
CID 0190 FMI 03 – Speed Sensor (Engine)
CID 0336 FMI 02 – Switch (E ng ine Control)
An FMI 02 describes an incorrect signal.
Note: A CID 0111 FMI 03 and a CID 0175 FMI 03
will only be recorded if the machine is equipped with
the proper sensors.
Clear diagnostic codes after the problem is
investigated or the problem is corrected . T his will
avoid a confusion during a future service call. The
“DIAG” indicator is OFF when all diagnostic codes
are cleared from the fault log and no active diagnostic
codes e xis t. Refer to Testing And Adjusting, “Fault
Log Clearing OP4”.
