Tampering with the electronic system installation
or the OEM wiring installation can be dangerous
and could result in personal injury or death and/
or engine damage.
This engine has a comprehensive, programmable
Engine Monitoring System. The Engine Control
Module (ECM) has the ability to monitor the engine
operating conditions. If any of the engine parameters
extend outside an allowable range, the ECM will
initiate an immediate action.
The following actions are available for engine
monitoring control: WARNING, ACTION ALERT and
SHUTDOWN.
Many of the parameters that are monitored by the
ECM can be programmed for the engine monitoring
functions. The following parameters can be
monitored as a part of the Engine Monitoring System:
• Atmospheric Pressure
• Inlet Manifold Pressure
• Coolant Temperature
• Engine Oil Pressure
• Crankshaft Position
• Camshaft Position
• Fuel Temperature
• Inlet Manifold Temperature
• System Voltage
The Engine Monitoring package can vary for different
engine models and different engine applications.
However, the monitoring system and the engine
monitoring control will be similar for all engines.
