    The document discusses the electronic ignition and fuel ratio control systems on Caterpillar G3500 engines. It explains that these systems can detect problems and generate warning or shutdown codes that are stored in the control module's memory. Warning codes don't require engine shutdown but indicate a problem, while shutdown codes do require engine shutdown. All codes remain in memory even if power is removed and can help with troubleshooting, but don't always mean repair is needed as issues may be temporary.

    Electronic Ignition System (EIS)


    The EIS Control Module has the ability to detect problems with the ignition system. When the control
    module detects a problem, the module generates a code. There are two types of codes:

    z Warning

    z Shutdown

    Warning - The control module has detected a problem with the ignition system. The problem does not
    require the engine to be shut down. The control module illuminates the warning lamp. The control
    module also generates a diagnostic code. The code is stored in the memory of the control module. The
    code can be viewed via an electronic service tool.

    Shutdown - The control module has detected a problem with the ignition system. The problem requires
    the engine to be shut down. The control module illuminates the shutdown lamp. The control module also
    generates a diagnostic code. The code is stored in the memory of the control module. The code can be
    viewed via an electronic service tool. The control module cannot shut down the engine. Instead, the
    control module activates the shutdown output. The shutdown output can be used by another system to
    shut down the engine.

    Every generated code is stored in the memory of the control module. The codes remain in the memory
    of the control module even if the power is removed from the module. The codes may be useful to help
    troubleshoot intermittent problems. The codes can also be used to review the performance of the engine
    and the electronic system.

    Diagnostic codes may not indicate that a repair is needed. The problem may have been temporary. The
    problem may have been resolved since the generation of the code. For example, if the system is powered
    and the warning lamp is disconnected, the control module will detect the problem. The module will
    generate a diagnostic code for the problem. The module will store the code. When the lamp is
    connected, the problem will disappear. The code will remain in the memory of the module until the code

    is cleared.

    All of the codes are cleared from memory when the diagnostic reset switch is activated.

    Optional Air/Fuel Ratio Control


    The Electronic Control Module (ECM) for the Air/Fuel Ratio Control has the ability to detect problems
    with the air/fuel ratio control and with the governor. When the ECM detects a problem, the ECM
    generates a code. There are two types of codes:

    z Warning

    z Shutdown

    Warning - The ECM has detected a problem with the air/fuel ratio control. The problem does not
    require the engine to be shut down. The ECM illuminates the warning lamp. The ECM also generates a
    diagnostic code. The code is stored in the memory of the ECM. The code is displayed on the front of the
    ECM. The code can also be viewed via an electronic service tool.

    Shutdown - The control module has detected a problem with the air/fuel ratio control. The problem
    requires the engine to be shut down. The control module illuminates the shutdown lamp. The control
    module also generates a diagnostic code. The code is stored in the memory of the ECM. The code is
    displayed on the front of the ECM. The code can be viewed via an electronic service tool. The ECM
    cannot shut down the engine. Instead, the ECM sends a shutdown request to another system. The other
    system may be provided by Caterpillar or by the customer. The other system sends a shutdown request
    to the EIS control module. The engine is shut down.

    Every generated code is stored in the memory of the ECM. The codes remain in the memory of the ECM
    even if the power is removed from the ECM. The codes may be useful to help troubleshoot intermittent
    problems. The codes can also be used to review the performance of the engine and the electronic system.

    A code may not indicate that a repair is needed. The problem may have been temporary. The problem
    may have been resolved since the generation of the code. For example, if the system is powered and the
    oxygen sensor is disconnected, the ECM will detect the problem. The ECM will generate a diagnostic
    code for the problem. When the sensor is connected, the problem will disappear. The code will remain
    on the display and the warning lamp will remain illuminated until the diagnostic reset switch is
    activated.

    All of the codes are cleared from the ECM when the diagnostic reset switch is activated.

    Optional Status Control Module (SCM)


    The Status Control Module (SCM) has the ability to detect problems with circuits that monitor the
    engine parameters. Refer to Systems Operation, SENR6420 for information on the status control
    module.
