Traction Control
Traction control is a system that identifies when a
wheel is going faster than the other wheels during
acceleration.
When a traction control condition occurs, a datalink
message is sent to the ECM to limit fuel for the
purpose of reducing engine torque.
Vehicles must have a transmission and an Antilock
Braking System (ABS) that supports traction control.
Diamond Logic® Engine Brake

See“DiamondLogic®EngineBrake”inSection1
(page 53) for feature description.
Diamond Logic® Exhaust Brake
International® now offers an optional integrated
exhaust brake. This feature uses VGT to assist in
braking.
Engine Warning Protection S ystem (EW PS)
Figure 51 Engine Warning Protection System
(EWPS)
The EWPS safeguards the engine from undesirable
operating conditions to prevent engine damage and
to prolong engine life. The ECM will illumin ate the red
ENGINE lamp and sound the warning buzzer when
the ECM detects:
• High coolant temperature.
• Low oil pressure.
• Low coo la nt level (3–way system only).
When the protection feature is enabled and a critical
engine condition occurs, the on-board electronics
will shut the engine down. An event logging feature
will record the event in engine hours and odometer
readings. After the engine has shutdown, and the
critical condition remains, the engine can be started
for a 30 second run time.

Coolant Temperature Compensation and EWPS
Coolant temperature compensation reduces fuel
delivery when the engine c oolant temperature is
above cooling system s pecifications.
The reduction in fuel delivery begins when engine
coolant temperature reaches approximately 107 °C
(225 °F). A reduction of 15% will be achieved as the
temperature reaches approximately 110 °C (230 °F).
When the engine coolant temperature is above 110
°C (230 °F), the red ENGINE lamp is illuminated a nd
an audible alarm sounds. After the alarm sounds, the
engine will shutdown.
• When the coolant temperature is above 109 °C
(228 °F), the red ENGINE lamp will be illuminated
and DTC 321 will be set.
