6.2 Diagnostic Codes
NOTICE
This section supports the Aftertreatment System (ATS) fault codes recorded during DDEC VI engine operation. A Suspect Parameter Number (SPN) is generated when a condition exists that prevents the ATS from operating at peak efficiency. The codes can be for engine protection or performance.
Per SAE standards, the Suspect Parameter Number (SPN) and Failure Mode Identifier (FMI) define what kind of failure occurred.
6.2.1 SHUTDOWN-ENGINE PROTECTION FAULT CODE
A shutdown-engine protection SPN is activated when an engine operating condition exists that can cause immediate damage to the engine. The engine should be shut down until the condition is corrected to prevent additional damage.
6.2.2 DERATE-ENGINE PROTECTION FAULT CODE
A derate-engine protection SPN is activated when an engine operating condition exists that can cause engine damage if left unattended. When the engine slowly loses power, the operator knows to correct the condition to prevent additional damage. However; if damage is not imminent, the operator can override the shutdown and slowly proceed (limp) to a service center to safely correct the problem. All codes for the ATS are derate engine protection codes as
listed in Table "Aftertreatment System Codes (1 of 3)"

6.2.3 PERFORMANCE FAULT CODES
A performance fault code is activated when specific conditions occur within a given amount of time that the calibration determines is not “normal”.
