What to do if there is a red alarm on my MTU 8V4000L63 Engine due to low oil level?
If the MTU Engine experiences a red alarm initiated by SAM due to the minimum engine oil level being detected, you should first check the engine oil level. Then, inspect the replenishment system.
What to do if my MTU Engine shuts down with a red alarm due to high oil temperature?
If the MTU Engine triggers a red alarm with engine shutdown because the engine oil temperature after the oil heat exchanger is too high (limit value 2), you should: 1. Check the engine coolant circuit. 2. Check the oil heat exchanger. 3. Check the oil level.
What to do if my MTU Engine has a yellow alarm because of too many lube oil replenishment pulses?
If the MTU Engine shows a yellow alarm initiated by SAM because too many pulses were received for lube oil replenishment, you should: 1. Check the engine oil level. 2. Check the oil supply.
What to do if my MTU 8V4000L63 Engine shows a red alarm due to high exhaust temperatures?
If the MTU Engine displays a red alarm initiated by the EMU because the average value of all individual cylinder exhaust temperatures is too high, you should: 1. Check emission values. 2. Check ignition timing. 3. Check valve drive, ensuring exhaust valves close properly.

What to do if my MTU 8V4000L63 Engine shows a red alarm because of a high exhaust temperature in one cylinder?
If the MTU Engine displays a red alarm initiated by the EMU because the exhaust temperature of a cylinder is too high compared to the average, you should: 1. Check emission values. 2. Check ignition timing. 3. Check valve drive, ensuring exhaust valves close properly.
What to do if my MTU 8V4000L63 shows a yellow alarm because of a high exhaust temperature in one cylinder?
If the MTU Engine displays a yellow alarm initiated by the EMU because the exhaust temperature of a cylinder is too high compared to the average value, you should: 1. Check emission values. 2. Check ignition timing. 3. Check valve drive, ensuring exhaust valves close properly.
What to do if my MTU 8V4000L63 Engine has a yellow alarm and a low exhaust temperature in one cylinder?
If the MTU Engine displays a yellow alarm initiated by the EMU because the exhaust temperature of a cylinder is too low compared to the average value, you should: 1. Check the spark plug. 2. Check emission values. 3. Check ignition timing. 4. Check valve drive.
What to do if my MTU 8V4000L63 has a red alarm and no ECU CAN communication?
If the MTU Engine shows a red alarm initiated by SAM due to no communication with the ECU CAN, you should: 1. Check the supply voltage. 2. Check the connecting line.
