Dual-Fuel System Diagnostics
Caterpillar ET Codes Use the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) program to look for faults in the Cat ECM
Caterpillar ET Codes ❦
Any active code in the Cat ECM can kick you out of mode and not log a fault in Panels
Dual-Fuel specific Faults: 68-0 Unknown code (50% diesel fall-back) 64-11 No Pattern On Speed Sensor #2 (34)
Caterpillar ET Codes 68-0 Unknown code (50% fallback) Unique
feature with-in CARB flash files
Reduces
rated power by 50% when operated out of mode for more than 10 hrs.
The
need for this file depends greatly on regulations with-in the areas of intended
Caterpillar ET Codes Fall-back strategy: In
mode: 100% of Dual-Fuel rated power
Out
of mode: 80% of diesel rated power for 10 hrs. – clock starts counting up
Out
of mode after 10 hrs: 50% of diesel rated power (fault 68-0) – until repaired
Back
in mode: after 15 minutes fault resets
Caterpillar ET Codes 68-0 Unknown code (50% fallback) What can cause a code 68?
CAT system failure
Dual-Fuel system failure
Out of fuel (NG)
NG tank shut off
Caterpillar ET Codes 64-11 No Pattern On Speed Sensor #2 (34) Can
be set by more than one action
