Troubleshooting using flash codes for the EMS
co-coordinator
• The diagnostics lamp on the instrument panel(s) always comes on for
two seconds when the system is powered up.
• As soon as a fault is detected by the coordinator, it is stored in the
EEPROM fault code memory and the diagnostics lamp on the
instrument panel(s) comes on.
• Even if the lamp has gone off and the fault is no longer active, the code
can generally be read off by following the instructions below.
Reading off coordinator fault codes
1. Turn on the ignition.
2. Activate the diagnostics switch to the right for 1 second to view the flash
codes for the coordinator (COO).
3. A fault code will then flash on the diagnostics lamp. This flash code
consists of long flashes (approximately 1 second long) and short flashes
(0.3 seconds long). Long flashes are equivalent to tens and short flashes
to units.
Example: long - short - short = fault code 12.
4. Repeat this procedure until the first flash code is repeated. This means
that the entire fault code memory has been flashed out. If the fault code
memory is empty, only one long flash (approximately 4 seconds long)
will be given.
5. See the flash code table on the next page for a description and to locate
the fault.
6. In order to obtain further information about the fault code, the PC-based
diagnostics tool or Scania EMS Display must be used. Contact an
authorised Scania workshop.
7. When a fault has been rectified the fault code can be erased as described
below.
Clearing fault codes
1. Switch off the ignition. If there is dual instrumentation the ignition must
be switched off on both panels.
2. Activate the diagnostics switch in the same direction as the flash codes
indicate, i.e. to the right for the coordinator (COO) or to the left for
EMS.
3. Switch on the ignition and at the same time keep the diagnostics switch
activated, to the right (COO) or to the left (EMS), for 3 seconds.
4. This will erase passive fault codes which can be read off via flash code
for the relevant system. The rest of the fault codes will remain in the
EEPROM and can only be deleted using the PC tool.
