System Response:

The warning lamp will flash while the “Derate” is active.

The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) will display “Engine Derate” in the first engine status box on any CAT ET status screen.

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) will generate a EID 005 event code on the CAT data link. The event code will be displayed on a diagnostic screen of the CAT ET.

The ECM will generate a SPN 094-FMI 15 event code on the J1939 data link. The event code may be displayed on a receiving device for the J1939 data link.

The ECM will generate a 63 flash code that will be displayed on the diagnostic lamp.

This event code indicates a restriction in the fuel filter. This does not represent a problem with the ECM.

Test Step 1.

Replace the plugged fuel filter.

Results:

  • OK – STOP
