C-10, C-12, C-15 and C-16 Industrial Engines – Flash Codes

Flash codes are used to represent diagnostic codes in the electronic system in order to alert the operator that a problem exists. The flash codes are a two digit number. A series of flashes represents the flash code on the diagnostic lamp.

EXAMPLE

Note: Flash Code 27 would flash on the diagnostic lamp in the following manner.

  • Two short flashes

  • Hesitation

  • Seven short flashes

Note: Flash codes can represent more than one diagnostic code. Make a note of all of the diagnostic codes that are represented by a particular flash code.

After the diagnostic codes have been determined, refer to Troubleshooting, “Table of Contents” in order to determine the page that represents the diagnostic code.
