PTP 000190.18 – Engine Speed Too Low for Transmission Conditions

PTP 000190.18 (PTP 190.18)

Code: 000190.18

Shortcode: 190.18

Description:

This error code is generated when the operator tries to shift with insufficient engine speed. It is stored when the axle speed is greater than 133 rpm while engine speed is below 2100 rpm. If axle speed is between 106 rpm and 133 rpm and engine speed is below 1750 rpm, the PTP commands engine speed to 1750, but no alarm or code is generated.

Reaction:

The control unit limits functionality to prevent potential damage due to insufficient engine speed during shifting.

Recommendations:

  • Maintain Proper Engine Speed:
    Ensure that the engine speed is sufficient when shifting, particularly above 2100 rpm for higher axle speeds.
  • Operator Training:
    Educate operators on the correct shifting procedures and the importance of maintaining adequate engine speed to avoid this error.
  • Monitor Engine and Axle Speed:
    Use diagnostic tools to monitor both engine and axle speeds during operation. Adjust driving habits as necessary.
  • Consult Manual:
    Refer to the operator’s manual for the correct operational procedures and recommended engine speeds for different axle speeds.

Note:

This code can be operator-induced, so proper training and adherence to operational procedures are critical to prevent this issue. Regular maintenance and monitoring of engine and transmission performance are also essential.
