Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Locomotive Diagnostics
Y
our locomotive includes built-in diagnostics to monitor the condition of the main drive motor
and smoke system. If a problem is detected, the locomotive's cab light will blink a diagnostic
code.
If you see the light inside the cab flashing, press RESET (for LEGACY operation), 0 (for
TMCC operation), or DIRECTION/power interruption (for conventional operation to attempt
to clear the problem. The locomotive will immediately check itself again. If the problem
persists, the cab light will blink the code again.
Note that smoke-related errors can be reset a maximum of three times. On the third try,
if the problem still persists, the smoke unit will be shut down. After reaching the three-cycle
limit, the power must be cycled (turn off and on) and then you may try to reset three more
times. If the problem persists, it must be returned to a local Factory Trained Authorized Lionel
Service Station, or contact Lionel Customer Service for repair. The single SMOKE switch
controls both the stack and whistle smoke.
Turning the smoke unit switch to the off position will disable diagnostic checks of
the smoke system.
Number of Blinks Diagnostic Code Description
1 Main drive motor stalled.
2 Smoke 1 element problem.
3 Smoke 1 fan problem.
4 Smoke 2 element problem.
5 Smoke 2 fan problem.
