An abnormal condition of a machine system (data event) exists. The VIMS

continuously monitors the machine systems. When an abnormal condition exists,
the alert indicator (7) FLASHES. Also, the message area (9) shows the system
parameter that has an abnormal condition. Universal gauge (10) also shows the
approximate value of the abnormal parameter. The event is stored in the main
module memory. As the severity of the problem increases the action lamp
FLASHES and the action alarm SOUNDS. See Service Manual, RENR2630, "Vital
The VIMS continuously checks for electrical problems in the VIMS. The VIMS
monitors the other electronic control module systems on the machine. The VIMS
continuously checks for failures, when a failure already exists. A detected
maintenance event is shown on the message area. A detected maintenance event is
stored in the memory of the main module. See "Service Operations".
The VIMS enters normal mode when the VIMS is powered up. Initiate a service operation
with the keypad in order to exit the normal mode. See "Service Operations".
Service Operations
The operator and/or the service person can initiate numerous VIMS service operations. A

For the VIMS ECM, the MID is 049. This table pertains only to faults with a MID of 049.
Note: Table 1 refers to the diagnostic codes for the VIMS ECM only. The diagnostic codes
for the VIMS ECM are shown on the display area of the Vital Information Management
System (VIMS). The module identifier (MID) tells the service person the ECM that is
sending the diagnostic code. The MID for the VIMS ECM is 049. The information in table
1 only refers to diagnostic codes with a MID of 049. The MID of other electronic control
modules or components on a particular machine are listed on the electrical system
schematic. Troubleshooting information for the diagnostic codes with a MID that is not 049
can be found in the service manual for that system.
ReferenceFor more information on the Vital Information Management System (VIMS),
refer to the Service Manual module Troubleshooting, "Using Vital Information
Management System to Determine Diagnostic Codes".
Module Identifier (MID)

Diagnostics from other electronic control modules are shown on the monitoring system.
Other electronic control modules transfer this diagnostic information on the Cat Data Link
to the monitoring system.
The module identifier (MID) identifies the electronic control module that detected the fault.
Each electronic control module on the machine has a unique MID. Use the following chart
in order to match the MID for each diagnostic code to a specific electronic control module.
The chart for the Module Identifier (MID) is located on the Electrical System Schematic for
your machine. See the chart if the MID is not shown on the display of your machine. After
the operator determines the electronic control module that has detected the failure, see the
service manual module for that particular ECM for more troubleshooting information. The
service manual for each ECM is part of the machine's Service Manual.
If the MID is for the VIMS ECM, use this service manual module. The MID for the VIMS
ECM is 049. If the MID is different use the appropriate module.

Detailed FMI Explanation

FMI 00 "Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range" - Every electronic control
system sets a high limit for the expected operating range of the signal. The high limit
includes over range signals. This could be a high temperature. A sensor that is still
operating but sending a signal above the expected limit will cause a FMI 00 to be stored.
Some of the possible causes of a FMI 00 are listed below.
The signal is above normal.
The signal is shorted to the +battery circuit.
The sensor needs to be calibrated.
This is an example of a sensor that needs calibration. A PWM signal that is at a duty cycle
of 80 percent is a valid signal. If the PWM signal has a duty cycle of 81 percent the sensor
is still working, but the sensor signal is above the expected signal limits.
FMI 01 "Data Valid But Below Normal Operating Range" - Every electronic control
system sets a low limit for the expected operating range of the signal. The limit includes
signals that are under the lower limit. The low signal could be the oil pressure signal. The
sensor is still working but sending a signal below the expected limit will cause a FMI 01 to
be stored.
The signal is below the normal range.
The timing is retarded.
This is an example of a PWM sensor. This sensor is not expected to generate a PWM signal
below a duty cycle of 5 percent with zero air pressure. If the sensor generates a signal with
a duty cycle of 4 percent when the engine is shutdown. The sensor is still working but
sending a signal below the expected limit will cause a FMI 01 to be stored.
FMI 02 "Data Erratic, Intermittent or Incorrect" - The signal from a component is
present. The control that reads the diagnostic information can not read the signal properly.
The signal appears to be gone, unstable or invalid. The data can be correct or incorrect
intermittently. Also, this condition relates to communication between controls. This is an
example of communication between controls. When the monitoring system is looking for
the engine speed from the engine ECM over the Cat Data Link.
There is a failed connection.
The signal is intermittent or erratic.
The software has been changed.
The signal is noisy.
The signal is out of range.
FMI 03 "Voltage Above Normal or Shorted High" - The component or system voltage is
higher than the limit. FMI 03 most often relates to a signal circuit.
Some of the components that could cause a FMI 03 are listed below.
The sensor or the switch has failed.
The harness is damaged.
The electronic control module has failed.
A sensor that has failed and the voltage output is high.
Any wiring harness that has a sensor signal wire shorted to a high voltage. A high
voltage is any voltage that is greater than the sensor supply voltage.
A wiring harness that has an open circuit in the sensor signal wire will cause the
control to pull up. When this occurs the input circuit is pulled up to the supply
voltage.
A control that has failed will also cause a FMI 03. This is very unlikely.
FMI 04 The Voltage is Below Normal or the Voltage is Shorted Low - The component
or system voltage is lower than the limit. FMI 04 most often relates to a signal circuit.
Some of the components that could cause a FMI 04 are listed below.
The sensor or the switch has failed.
The harness is damaged.
The electronic control has failed.
A sensor that has failed and the voltage output is low.
Any wiring harness that has a sensor signal wire shorted to ground.
A failed ECM will also cause a FMI 04. This is very unlikely.
FMI 05 Current Below Normal or Open Circuit - The current through the component or
the system is lower than the limit. FMI 05 is most often related to a driver circuit.
There is an open circuit or a poor harness connection.
There is an open relay.
There is a switch in the open position.
FMI 06 Current Above Normal or Grounded Circuit - The current through the
component or the system is higher than the limit. FMI 06 is most often related to a driver
circuit. This fault is very similar to FMI 04.
There is a short to ground in the harness connection.
There is a shorted relay.
A failed control will also cause a FMI "06". This is very unlikely.
FMI 07 Mechanical System Not Responding Properly - The control detects a signal that
is sent to a mechanical system and the response is not correct.
The component responds improperly.
The component is stuck in a position.
The component has failed.
The engine is shut down.
The machine is being used improperly.
FMI 08 Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width or Period - This occurs when the signal is
not in the expected range. FMI 08 can also relate to a faulty sensor.
The harness connections are intermittent or poor.
The engine misfired.
The signal is noisy due to nearby interference.
There are loose mechanical devices.
FMI 09 Abnormal Update - This relates to communications on the data link. FMI 09
occurs when a control is not able to get information from another control.
The control module is not communicating on the data link correctly.
The rate of data transmission is abnormal.
The data link has failed.
There is a mismatch of software.
FMI 10 Abnormal Rate of Change - This relates to a signal that changes too fast. The rate
of change is outside of the expected limit.
FMI 11 "Failure Mode Not Identifiable" - The control identifies more than one FMI as
being responsible for a single failure.
There is a mechanical failure.
There is damage to multiple circuits.
FMI 12 Bad Device or Component - The electronic control sends a signal and the
electronic control expects a response. The control receives no response or the response is
incorrect.
There is a failure of the electronic control.
There is a failure on the data link.
There are one or more controls with mismatched software.
FMI 13 Out of Calibration - The electrical signal is not within limits for a specific
mechanical condition.
Calibration is required.
The data is out of range.
FMI 14, 15, and 20 - These codes are not active.

FMI 16 Parameter Not Available - The control does not support the requested parameter.
FMI 17 Module Not Responding - The control does not respond to the request for data.
FMI 18 Sensor Supply Failure - The sensor power supply in the control has failed.
FMI 19 Condition Not Met - The conditions that are defined by the software were not
met.

Event Code List

SMCS - 7569
Event codes alert the operator or the technician that an abnormal operating condition exists
in one of the machine systems.
When an Electronic Control Module (ECM) activates an event code, the operator or the
technician will be alerted by the Messenger. Most active events will be logged by the ECM.
Some events are active only. Active only events are not logged. The events that are active
and the events that are logged can be viewed with the following equipment:
Messenger
Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET)
Warning Levels
The ECM will assign a warning level to an active event code. Event codes are one of three
levels. The level is according to the severity of the abnormal condition. Each warning level
requires a specific response from the operator. The warning levels and the required operator
response are listed below.
Warning Level 1
Warning level 1 alerts the operator that a machine system requires attention. The operator
should check the involved system condition or the operator should perform maintenance on
the involved system at the earliest possible time.
Warning Level 2
Warning level 2 requires changing the operation of the machine or performing a

maintenance procedure. Failure to correct a problem that has caused this warning may
result in damage to the components that are involved in the system.
Warning Level 2S
Warning level 2S requires an immediate change in machine operation in order to avoid

possible damage to the system.
Warning Level 3
Warning level 3 requires an immediate safe shutdown of the machine in order to avoid
damage to the machine or injury to personnel around the machine. The problem that caused
the event must be corrected before machine operation can resume.

When an abnormal operating condition occurs, the status screen on the Cat ET indicates
that there is an active event.
Event codes are displayed on Cat ET in the following format:
EXXXX Description of the code
The "E" means that the code is an event code. The "XXXX" is a numeric identifier. The
numeric identifier is followed by a description of the code.
Active event codes are listed in ascending numerical order. The code with the lowest
number is listed first. The active event code is removed from the list when the condition is
no longer present.
Logged Event Codes
Some event codes are logged in the ECM memory. Some event codes are active only. The
logged event codes are listed in chronological order. The most recent code is listed first.
A logged code is cleared from memory when one of the following conditions occur:
The service technician manually clears the code.
The code does not reoccur for 1000 hours.
A new code is logged and there are already ten logged codes in memory.
In this case, the oldest logged code is cleared.
Note: Always clear logged event codes after investigating and correcting the problem
which generated the code.
List of Event Codes
The following table lists event codes and the recommended responses. Use the Cat ET
service tool in order to determine the event codes that are active or logged.

Response
Synchronized
clock
notification of
manual synch
required
In a PL321 system using sync-clock and Product

Link is not the master ECM, the Product Link
module will automatically sync to the master
ECM hours if the difference is not greater than
50 hours. If the difference is greater than 50
hours, a diagnostic will be generated in Cat ET
that indicates that a manual sync is required. In
that instance, sync the hours. In Cat ET, use
"Service/Synchronize Service Meter Hours".
Inclusion GeoFencing
boundary
violated
Inclusive Geo-Fence sets up a "virtual fence"

around a work site. Once Inclusive Geo-Fence is
activated, a report is generated if the machine
leaves the work site area. No repair or service is
required.

Exclusion GeoFencing
boundary
violated
Exclusive Geo-Fence sets up a "virtual fence"

around areas that the machine is not allowed to
enter. A report is generated if a machine enters
a restricted area. No repair or service is
required.
Time-Fencing
boundary
violated
Time Based Fence allows the owner of a

machine to choose the time that a machine can
be operated. A report is generated if the
machine is operated outside of the time that is
set for machine operation. No repair or service is
required.
Switched
Sensor #1 trip

The Product Link PL300 has four additional

inputs that can be configured in order to monitor
switches on the machine. These inputs can be
configured by using Caterpillar Electronic
Technician (Cat ET service tool). Troubleshoot
input as setup by the dealer.
