the electronic unit injectors while the engine is operating. Failure to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.
This engine has a comprehensive, programmable engine monitoring system. The 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
• Derate
• Shutdown
The following mo nitored engine o pe rating conditions have the ability to limit engine speed and/or the engine power:
• Engine Coolant Temperature
• Engine Oil Pressure
• Engine Speed
• Intake Manifold Air Temperature
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. Together, the two controls
will provide the engine monitoring function for the specific engine application.
