When the EMS control unit or the coordinator detects a fault, the diagnostics
lamp on the instrument panels(s) comes on, and it stays on as long as the fault
is active. At the same time, a fault code is generated which can be read off via
the coordinator on the diagnostics lamp in the form of a flash code when the
diagnostics switch is activated. A flash code may consist of a number of
different fault codes.
Diagnosis and troubleshooting using Scania EMS Display is described in the
Operator’s Manual for Scania EMS Instrumentation.
If the torque reduction function is activated, the amount of fuel and the engine
power output are reduced to 70%, and if the engine shutdown function is
activated, the engine is switched off at programmed alarm levels.
A separate PC-based diagnostics program is used to read off the contents of
the flash codes. For an in-depth analysis of fault codes, contact an authorised
Scania dealer.
Reading off the fault codes, and descriptions of these, are also covered in a
separate document in the workshop manual, Engine Management System
EMS-S6: Troubleshooting.
Only authorised personnel are allowed to carry out diagnostic procedures
and program changes.
The positions of the sensors which emit signals to the control unit are shown
in the illustrations on page 16.
See pages 20 and 22 for a description of how to read off flash codes.
See pages 21and 23 for a list of flash codes for the control unit and
coordinator.
