Troubleshooting with an
Event Code

Event Codes

The ECM can log events. Events refer to engine
operating conditions such as low oil pressure or high
coolant temperature. Logged events usually indicate
a mechanical problem instead of an electronic
system problem.
Note: If a diagnostic code has already been logged
then any associated event code to that fault will not
be logged as well.

E172 High Air Filter Restriction

Conditions Which Generate This Code:
This event code will only be generated if the switch for
the air filter restriction is installed and the customer
programmable feature is enabled.
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects a
problem with the air flow. If the air flow has been
restricted for more than thirty seconds, the ECM will
generate this code.
Note: This code is generated only when the engine
is running.
System Response:
The event code will be logged.
The optional warning lamp will be illuminated.
Possible Performance Effect:
E172-1
A blocked filter may cause the engine to experience
symptoms such as low power.
Troubleshooting:
The event code does not represent a problem with
the electronic system. This event code indicates high
air filter restriction. Refer to Testing and Adjusting
Manual, "Air Inlet and Exhaust System - Inspect".
Results:
•
OK – STOP.

E232 High Fuel/Water
Separator Water Level
Conditions Which Generate This Code:
This event code will only be generated if the switch
on the water separator filter is installed and correctly
wired to the ECM and the customer programmable
feature is enabled.
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects a
problem with the water level in the fuel filter. A water
level sensor may be installed in the fuel filter. If the
i02411183
water rises above a set level for more than thirty
seconds, the ECM will generate this code.
Note: The code is generated only when the engine
is running.
System Response:
The event code will be logged.
The optional warning lamp will be illuminated.
A snapshot will be triggered.
Possible Performance Effect:
E232-1
