CAT 3126E Fault Code: 253-14 PID: Flash Code 56 SPN: FMI: Truck Manufacturer Paremater Not Programmed

The “Truck Manufacturer Parameter” has not been programmed. The parameter must be programmed for the manufacturer of the chassis in order to configure the correct options and ranges for the engine.

Note: The “Truck Manufacturer Parameter” must be programmed before the “Customer Parameters” are programmed.

Probable Causes:

1) ECM not programmed correctly

CAT 3126E Fault Code: 3-11 PID: Flash Code 73 SPN: 653 FMI: 11 Cylinder #3 Injector current fault

The Engine Control Module (ECM) detects one of the following items after attempting to operate the injector:

•A low current condition (open circuit) exists in the wiring for the cylinder injector solenoid.
•A high current condition (short circuit) exists in the injector solenoid.

Probable Causes:

1) ECM Connection/Harness
2) Cylinder injector failure
3) Injector solenoid failure
4) Harness from ECM to valve cover connector
5) ECM failure
6) Injector harness under valve cover

CAT 3126E Fault Code: 30-08 PID: Flash Code 29 SPN: FMI: Invalid PTO Throttle Signal

The idle timer has expired to stop the engine. NOTE: This diagnostic code represents an event and not an Electronic System fault.

CAT 3126E Fault Code: 30-13 PID: Flash Code 29 SPN: FMI: PTO Throttle Sensor Calibration

The Personality Module installed is for a different engine than the Personality Module it replaced. NOTICE: Do not attempt to install a 3126 Personality Mofule into a 3116 engine or a 3116 Personality Module into a 3126 engine. Serious engine damage may occur when the engine is started.

CAT 3126E Fault Code: 4-11 PID: Flash Code 73 SPN: 654 FMI: 11 Cylinder #4 Injector current fault

The Engine Control Module (ECM) detects one of the following items after attempting to operate the injector:

•A low current condition (open circuit) exists in the wiring for the cylinder injector solenoid.
•A high current condition (short circuit) exists in the injector solenoid.

Probable Causes:

1) ECM Connection/Harness
2) Cylinder injector failure
3) Injector solenoid failure
4) Harness from ECM to valve cover connector
5) ECM failure
6) Injector harness under valve cover

CAT 3126E Fault Code: 41-04 PID: Flash Code 21 SPN: 678 FMI: 4 8 Volt Supply Below Normal

The throttle signal is less than 5% or more than 95%

CAT 3126E Fault Code: 43-02 PID: Flash Code 71 SPN: FMI: Key Switch Fault

The Engine Control Module (ECM) detects that the keyswitch was cycled at least three times within one second.

This indicates that the battery circuit to the keyswitch has an intermittent condition or a low battery condition while the engine is running.

Note: This code can be generated by rapidly cycling the keyswitch. Some control modules on the vehicle require this action in order to prompt flash codes. If this occurs, clear the logged diagnostic codes in order to prevent future confusion or an incorrect diagnosis.

Note: This code can also be generated when there is an attempt to restart the engine immediately after a shutdown. The engine may not start if the engine speed did not reach zero rpm prior to the restart.

Probable Causes:

1) ECM Connection/Harness
2) If code 43-2 (Key switch fault) is logged, t/s that code instead
3) Low or excessive ECM power (from battery)
4) Wiring from battery to ECM
5) Keyswitch or keyswitch wiring
6) Aftermarket engine protection switch

CAT 3126E Fault Code: 5-11 PID: Flash Code 74 SPN: 655 FMI: 11 Cylinder #5 Injector current fault

The Engine Control Module (ECM) detects one of the following items after attempting to operate the injector:

•A low current condition (open circuit) exists in the wiring for the cylinder injector solenoid.
•A high current condition (short circuit) exists in the injector solenoid.

Probable Causes:

1) ECM Connection/Harness
2) Cylinder injector failure
3) Injector solenoid failure
4) Harness from ECM to valve cover connector
5) ECM failure
6) Injector harness under valve cover
